Just been into Tescos and anyone would have thought doomsday was coming.
No milk, no bread, no eggs, no veg, no meat..... it's gone potty.

But then of course the whole country will come to a stand still if what they've been saying comes true.
We can't even handle a light dusting 

well we saw three flakes this afternoon

Our local shops all out of bread too.  Just hope it starts early and we get snowed in rather than snowed out!

lol, heaven forbid.

SNOW DEPTH UPDATE: currently 2mm

Glad I brought those 6 loaves of bread now!

in fairness, although there's not much depth, its drifting and I woudn't get out of the lane without the landrover. and the buses which have run through everything over the past few years are cancelled, so I'm guessing its not great even on the main roads.

Just picking up now in London.  Just a few flakes on the way to the tube this morning, but coming down much heavier by the time I got out.

Getting heavier here in Berkshire.  The bin men have been though, they are much tougher than last year.

Stocked up on food, but might have to venture out for something alcoholic later.

SNOW DEPTH UPDATE: About an inch 1/2 now - but it's that fluffy snow, you know, like a prawn cracker. Looks more than there really is

I'm winning then, about 4 inches. No idea why everything has ground quite so badly to  halt (perhaps because it's friday?)

My solar panels, my car's "slicks", and I absolutely hate the snow. Penguins seem to love it tho. Grr @ penguins

I just went sledging and it was AWESOOOOOOOOOOOME.

Being fat definitely helps with speed.

>sledging

Ah yes the magical powers snow has that turn fully grown men/women into uncontrollable children

Quoteabout 4 inches

Buncha wimps!

I get so annoyed that snow means "day off" to certain parts of the UK workforce. Our kids nursery closed forno aapparent reason. When I asked why they just looked a bit confused and said "its snowing". Royal mail used it as an excuse for a day off too: 3 sacks of orders sat uncollected in our office.

2 inches - that is all it took.

Can you imagine if Sweden or Greenland was run like this?

I read somewhere that the government can't justify spending the money on an infrastructure to combat the effects due to we don't get it that often.
But yea, it was only 2 bleeding inches lol
Mind you where I live the main roads are OK now but the country roads are a no go. Many of which are main roads for locals to get in and out.

Hahaha, brace yourself Brits. It's only frozen water you know.
