Keep getting the odd flurry here at Gatwick Airport. We're on a Green Warning at the moment so not expecting anything significant. That'll change this evening into tomorrow though.

Conor, you best hope not, as you lot will all starve to death, when supplies are cut off, due to London being in emergency mode.

We'll be ok, though.

About an inch in the last hour or so here in Herts. Its just stopped but the forecast is for more, apparently the M20 is shut, didn't say if its an accident or the authorities protecting us from ourselves again. The rest of Europe must be having a good laugh at us now.

Going to go for a quick walk round the block in the diving flippers to spook the neighbours in the morning.

OMG! Half an inch of snow. I'll wait for the stories of people trapped in their cars for 24 hours tomorrow then! No gritters been out by the looks of things, best you all increase the gap to the car in front to at least 5 feet. Play safe and all that.

Well I'll be doing my bit by staying safely off the roads and helping the country grind to a halt...3" here and although the main road seems OK, a few miles away a lorry jacknifed two hours ago blocking a dual carriageway and cars are getting stuck on all the inclines 🙂

Even my gf is taking the day off and she could count her sickies over the last 5 years on one hand...easily 🙂

Pretty hefty in west London, amazing how Audi's manage to go so much faster than anyone else with 6" of snow all over them and a half cleared windscreen.
