Slightly disappointed with the measly half inch we had last night. Completely stopped now although snow is enticingly close in Chipping Norton and Witney but nothing much is making it past Banbury. No school closures in Northants so all kids off to school which has upset my son who was determined that from yesterdays forecast he would be spending the day sledging.....

Snowing in Aston le Walls, South Northants!!. Settling on the grass and my car in the drive. Coming down quite heavily.....kids besides themselves!!

Yep - snowing very lightly here - covering on the roads, leaves and the car.....

Yep - just been to the front door and there was a big flash of lightning and a rumble of thunder so it doth continue. I'm off to bed now - goodnight eveyone! (oooh, more lightening - kids are up! long night ahead me thinks - pelting with rain now!!)

Just got home from Northampton where we'd been to the cinema in Sixfields. We sat in the carpark outside Pizza Hut and watched the storm develop - pink fork lightening was fantastic and the rain intense. The storm has followed us south through Daventry and is currently rumbling around overhead. Very stormy violent sky with a whisp of a moon - kids thought it was terrific! Glad I'm not in Cropredy tonight at the Fairport Convention! They must be soaked.

Fantastic lightning show here in Aston le Walls - looking like it's over Daventry way. Fantastic sky and brilliant bright lightning. Distant rumbles - no, make that nearby rumbles and the occasional heavy downpour...very muggy still....I just LOVE thunderstorms!!

Absolute white out here now. Just got back from sledging with the kids - snow very deep on the hills, we have a good 6 inches in the village though. Wind has got up too and is blowing it around. Temp in my back garden reads plus 1 and the icicles are dripping. A361 is very snowy, glad ! don't have to go anywhere today!

Started snowing heavily again here - might have to delay our sledging trip for a bit. Hope these pictures work.... Aston le Walls - about an hour ago.

Stopped snowing here now, we've had about 4 inches overnight and there is a very cold northerly blowing down the hill from Byfield. All schools closed, Radio Oxford report the M40 is blocked south of Banbury so hubby can't get to work in south Oxfordshire. Not sure if we're due any more here today but the kids have enough to go sledging so all in all we're pretty pleased. Off to see if I can clear some neighbours pathways - enjoy it everyone, stay safe!!

Snowing steadily here now and settling where the frost hasn't melted. Hope hubby can get home from work near Didcot this evening....

It's started snowing here very lightly. All the frost has melted off my car and is dripping off the roof which it didn't do yesterday as our top temperature was minus 1.5 all day. My outside temperature probe is now reading plus 0.3. In the words of Calvin and Hobbes - 'C'mon - SNOW!'

Just started snowing here in Aston le Walls. Been very clear and starry all night. Temp -1.4 c. Sky now very cloudy from what I can see - clouds scudding very quickly in the strong wind. Might get to you soon 'Turnedoutniceagain', we're not far from you, we're 7 miles north of Banbury.

Not. A. Single. Flake! Kids soooo disheartened. Very starry clear night - temp at the moment -1.9 and yet barely a frost on the cars or grass. Very very windy though. Totally fed up. Grump. South Toaday forecast has just said Banbury may get some later on but I wont hold my breath!

Yey - It's snowing in Aston le Walls! We're 7 miles north of Banbury.
