Still a good 1-2 inches of snow here. At 70 m ASL (east Gloucester) this'll be the 5th day this month of decent snow on the ground, as opposed to a 'dusting'. This one was far better than the one earlier in the month. The snow on the ground really does suppress the temps. Currently -0.6c so unless a massive heat wave in the night it'll be 3 day event - quite good comparing it to the crap of the last few years.

Hi SW. Once 4pm hit nothing was thawing, so now we have Dickensian style crisp snow outside, nearly even!!!! A 2 minute drive to Painswick from here and its another world. Shame it'll be gone Friday!!!! Still, as I said, currently 200% better than last year and more festive than that horrid 12c stuff Xmas day.

I have to say, and based on the last few years, here in Gloucester we have had more days of falling snow than last year. Probably more. For lying snow, well its still there as I type and crisping up. Gritters passing me on my way home. Generally all roads clear but as couple of inches on the paths. They'll likely stay overnight. Went up to Cranham, a good 4 inches still after a lot if dripping this afternoon. A crap winter, bol##\ks. More pre New Year for us than the whole of last winter, and many more preceding. My youngest (10) said today this is the 3rd time she remembers snow, 2 of them in the last few weeks. Apparently the south west may be due more start of the new year. More sliders from NW to SE from Northern Ireland please, and south of the M4 for goodness sake. Those folk can't take anymore.

Mate - its been snowing since 0700hrs and I may have 1.5 to 2 inches. Its been too wet beforehand and dew points too high this morning. Its a case of what could have been here even though its fallen. No consolation I know, in the Forest if Dean about 15 miles from here, they have 12 inches plus!!!! All if and buts I guess.

Colder than I expected this morning, certainly felt it waiting for the train. If I'm moaning now, hell wait for the end of the week. May have to wear more winter clothes, which incidentally don't generally get their full usage.
