It's been snowing gently all day here (west of Colchester). It's starting to settle on the roads and footpaths now.

Been out for a three hour dog walk. Just got back and the last hour the snow was much heavier and settling.

My waterproof trousers kept me warm and dry. :thumbup:

Had 2 kids asking if it's going to snow every 5 mins since 8am. So far had what looks like a head and shoulders advert dusting. Been saying we are due heavy snow most of the day.

This is in Hertford,

Given how you feel about cold weather and snow, I'm guessing you've never had a ski google tan :D

None here (Welsh borders), although at least it wasn’t forecast for us this weekend, so for once they got that right. A couple of weeks ago we were forecast a shedload and not a flake fell! :hmmm: They’ve such sophisticated forecasting programmes and yet I don’t think they could forecast their way out of a paper bag! Better off with the magnetic stick on signs from the ‘70s! :lol:

Sydney was quite content, after a 3 hour walk through the snow, to just sit and chill. Literally, it would appear.
