Just got back from picking up the other half (I refused to let him take his rear wheel drive beamer to work) and a journey that would take me 20 mins tops took me 1 1/2 hours. It also had the obligatory rear wheel drive bmw trying to get up a hill sideways.but actually not too bad for Birmingham, given that we usually have a grid-locked city after 5cm snow.
It's still snowing heavily although the flakes are a lot smaller and denser now, we've got approx 8cm depth and it's -1 degrees C. Anyway here are a few more pics:
Our main road at 9am
Same road at 1pm (except I found my wide angle lens )
Our street is looking a lot snowier now
