Default Re: is it going to snow tomight?

I cleared the access onto site here in Brum yesterday and everything was thawing out nicely.

I came in this morning to see 4 inches of snow over everything again

Looks like its been bad here overnight, roads are slippy and people are driving like knobs.

Its still snowing heavily now too

Left a dry Essex this morning only to be met by snow on my way into London. Some of the roads around here are a bit grim. Plenty of parking though! SV riders -dead hard!

This is on the way into work this morning. The start of the steep hill into a village. There were several cars at the bottom abandoned. The flash of light ahead is one such driver on his way back home after getting stuck.

And what is it with the BBC's "As forecast" comment on their article online? BBC Weather said 'light snow' for Suburbiton.

The BBC couldn't forecast their way out of an umbrella shop. FFS.

We had no snow over night but had something even stranger.

Freezing fog... there was quite literally 6mm of thick ice incasing my car this morning, I broke through it and started driving and the road were the same, did 1 mile in 2 hours (at a stand still) so came home yet again.

Fortunately I have the means to be able to do some work from home.

Yet again though 25 miles away in the office there is next to no problem so my boss does not believe me...luckily one of the directors was a couple of cars behind me and I had a chat with him before turning around.
