First heavy snow of the winter is forecast for Thursday and Friday here on the dark side of the Pennines...followed by sunshine and cold air all weekend. Could be a fantastic time to be off work with the kids.
Bring it on!
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

It's snowing very lightly in Ipswich just now.
It's just heavy enough that you can see a few flakes so I'm expecting a travel broadcast of disruption and region-wide chaos if it continues for more than 10 minutes.

Few flakes in Chesham this morning, few more forecast. It's not meant to be heavy though.
It is however brass monkey cold.

I, just like those Castleford supporters felt that the ball should have gone to David Plange but he put the bit betwen his teeth...and it was a try
Kevin Ward - best player I have ever seen

The real Mick Gledhill is what you see on here, a Bradford fan ........, but deep down knows that Bradford are just not good enough to challenge the likes of Leeds & St Helens.

Jonathan Agnew on test match special seems to be quite amused that its snowing in London.
Not surpised as he is sitting in the South African sunshine watching the cricket

Heavy snow in central London. Well, people seem to think so. 10 minutes of the stuff and it's not settled.
Honestly Mr Weather, if you're going to do a job, do it properly and snow hard!

I currently have about 6 inches of snow, and it's minus 3 Celsius. Rest of the week is around -5 to -7 Celsius, probably with more snow.
Awesome!

you're too close to the sun up there - that's why Queensbury is know as being in the tropics - East anglia, that's where you want to be!

Nice bit of snow in Queensbury overnight - nowt down in Sowerby Bridge though so lots of pointing at the car* on the way in to work.
* The snow on the car, not the car itself, Sowerby Bridge has had cars since last year

Getting quite panicky Darn Sarf at the moment as there COULD be UP TO 10cm of snow in London tonight/tomorrow morning. 
Talk of sending people home early/working from home tomorrow for those who have to drive in.
No word however to those of us who face a 250 mile journey tomoorow though.

Excellent. My work Christmas party tonight, so this is a useful coincidence.
