It's not got as far as Langholm yet, it is snowing but lightly and not sticking.
The sky looks full of it though.

FFS, its STILL snowing here. I tell you. I cant believeveveveveve it. What a time to get rid of my 4x4...although to be fair, it was off the road anyway, so...anyway, we have it pretty heavy here, cars almost buried, but tis the drifts that are making it worse, the deepest is well up my leg, shallowest snow is simply up over my boots...!!!

well, just been out in the back, and the drifted snow is now up to my knees. Where it hasn't drifted its shin high now-wellingtons time. Its still falling, all the snow I cleared has now been replaced, my car is as good as buried now and everyone is stuck on the street. we live quite high up, so we get some interesting drifting snow, all good fun. If its still bad tomorrow, ill get some pics up!

When I go out later, I'll have to get the spade out to clear the snow from outside my garage door, looks like 2 feet deep in a drift, the rest is about a foot deep, not worried about that as our drives also on a slope. Overtook several cars last night on my way home as they were struggling to get up our hill to our village.

Play safe in the snow, treat all other drivers as idiots and allow greater stopping distances, if only to move forward to allow the pratt behind to stop.
Always have somewhere to go when in a queue, as the vehicle behind can't stop.

The worst thing is cars pulling out in front of you, they have no traction, so you can't stop in time...

Guess whose fault it will be....
Your front end smashed... hmmm... you must have been driving too fast for the conditions.
