Wish we had, our boys are really disappointed.
Here in Southport it is white but that is from the hail shower we just had!

Aigburth is only about 10 minutes away from me, he certainly won't be using his cycle today. The roads as always are in chaos, no gritters been out (again)[msnmad] I'm dreading driving to work.
Nothing in the South yet - am hoping we get some 'real' snow, my youngest has only ever seen a light dusting!

No snow Carol but the weather was teasing us yesterday , and I really thought I would wake up this morning to a snow covered world . The funny thing is I was attending a meeting today in the Guinness Storehouse and when we visited the Gravity Bar at the top the sun was shining and the heat was amazing , and dear old Dublin never looked so well .

I'm used to it now...it needs to be 18 inches or more before it becomes a problem...or if we have high winds...
I took this last night - looks just the same this morning [ not going out though, too cold!] with white trees and a beautiful blue sky. VERY picturesque
woke up today to about 3" snow and -5 temp on the north east coast
brrrr!!!!!

Of course it is going to be thick snow this week in Manchester. Ready for us having to drive down for the flight on Wednsday!!
Love it really but hate having to come over the moors in it. By the way it is quite thick here in Durham too.

Only light snow here much to my sons disgust. He was supposed to have his first 11-a-side football match this morning and was really looking forward to it. It has just been cancelled and there is not really enough snow for sledging[msnsad].

We have nearly 9" here - we live in Central Scotland between Glasgow and Edinburgh - both airports are closed at the moment so will just have to snuggle up indoors and watch the Grand Prix now in sunny hot Bahrain!! [msnsmile]
Snowing in Manchester currently. Enough to put the golf off!

Plenty snow here as well and it`s still snowing. We are in Dunfermline which is just north of Edinburgh. Our dog has been out playing this morning in it and was having a ball. Oh I wish I was lying at the pool in Florida.

Just got back in from sledging with all the kids. Very wet and cold after falling off sledge a couple of times, but had great fun and its great to see the kids enjoying snow like we used to get when we were children.
