I left Barnsley about 2 hours ago thinking "hmm, looks like sleet". It turned into snow fast and the bit over saddleworth on the M62 was a bit treacherous as well, esp as I still don't have a working fan in my car so I have to drive with the windows down a bit to avoid misting! :(
 
Moving south still, here in Burton On Trent settling well :eek: . Now stopped well very light.
 
I made the mistake of thinking ''nah, it wont snow today, 'snot cold enuff'', got in about two,ish, got carried away in my PC and hi-fi, never noticed what was going on outside and now, 'cos my drive is steep, i'm stuck, both cars snowed in 'till? :mad:
 
yup - had a fun drive over the hills from Lytham to Harrogate tonight :D Tiring being snowy, dark and busy though :( Saab 95 2.0t coped nicely though
 
Quite a covering here in Northamptonshire too.

hhhhmmmmmmm those 245/17" are not the best on the white stuff!!

Winter mode on yer Gearbox, and you probably need some snow-chains, living in the middle of a field, an' all ! :p At least they make nice big tyre tracks to look at :)
 
no snow in Rochdale!
 
Its stopped in Shipley :D but, from my back bedroom window I can now see Bradford :eek: . Yes, yes, yes, I know, apologies to those who live in Brad.... etc ;) .
 
Had some snow/sleet in Essex about an hour ago, but it's been raining all day so it didn't settle. Will be fun in the morning.
Edit:- Snowed in Ipswich too.

As one who lives in one of the higher parts of Bradford I had an "interesting" drive into work tonight. It appears to have stopped but it doesn't seem to be melting.

However I dont much care what else it does cos when I finish in the morning I'm not coming back till Wednesday and I'm all stocked up on beer and stuff.
 
never mind the snow are the gritters out its 0 deg thus wet roads freezing u all top up your screen wash and leave plenty of braking distance

happy winter motoring i am going to cyprus soon
 
snowing in Tring, Herts - not settling oin the ground, but reversing upo my (1 in a million slope) drive was causing the traction control to cut in...
