    Well, we're screwed! Believe the hype, it's been very heavy here overnight. I'll take some pictures later, but it's blooming freezing and very thick, we've certainly had at least 4 inches.

    I must still have my Scottish cap (realistic) cap on when looking at snow conditions in England:

    There is about 1cm outside my window right now. Watching the news and people just do not know how to drive in snow, it's embarrassing!

    It also embarrassing that airports, trains, schools, roads etc close with 4 inches (max) of snow, while over in the Alps and servicing low land towns they can get a foot a snow in a matter of hours and things operate as they were.

    Hang you head in shame Great Britain (....but especially Southern England!!)

    No snow in Oban and temp still above freezing.

    We are all grateful here for the effect of The Gulf Stream which certainly makes a difference to our climate in this part of Scotland.
    In fact if we stay frost free we will have one of our best citrus fruit growing season for many years. The orange crop in particular looks really well and a good harvest is predicted

    4 to 5" inches , Glasgow South

    I like the stuff when it falls over a weekend & you can go out & play in it, apart from that it's a pain in the butt as the place grinds to a halt & the traffic jams............don't get me started

    Aye, OK, snow in Gala overnight too. Still a few flurries every now and then also.

    We've got maybe 2" = hard frost really.

    Right, seeing as you lot are generally abusing those who live in the south, and generally it's deserved, but there really has been a fair whack of snow last night. So...

    Somewhere under that is my car...
