Still not as bad as you lot up North, but we've had about another 3" over night:
The uphill was impassible by most cars until the gritter came about an hour ago...
My wife's car, which she came home in last night, and was snow-free when she parked. Had to clear the drive again and the path so she could go to work. (No such worries for me, Maggie the Landrover 110 copes with anything to take little 'un to Nanny's, and then I'm working from home - decided a 250 mile round trip in a draughty and slow Landrover whilst doable, is not much fun compared to sitting in the warm playing records!)
Still snowing, reckon we've had about 6" in total since it all kicked off - the snowman's face is pretty much obliterated now, but here's a couple from Tuesday - first, Avatar ready for action...
...and then giving the snowman a kiss! She'll be heartbroken when he melts!

Well, my bit of Devon has had sun, blue skies and fluffy clouds on the horizon for about a week now, but this morning we woke up to nearly half an inch of snow. With a bit of effort, I even managed to find a slightly slippery road to play on!

Alex, haha - indeed!
Shane, lucky you (in terms of not having the inconvenience attached with travelling in snowy conditions), but unlucky you for not having the beautiful snowy scenery to look at, such as others and I are enjoying.
From a photographic point of view, I find wintery landscapes much more interesting and intriguing than blue skies and fluffy clouds - don't you?
Keep the pics coming, folks. I'd like to see some of snowy motorway traffic jams from anyone who's been caught in them. So get the cameras on those mobile phones out and start clicking. It'll give you something to do while you're sat there going nowhere!

Fantastic stuff, Jon - Del and I both LOVE icicles!
We've got some hand-made glass ones hanging up around the house, and will be putting more up as part of our Christmas decorations
