Snow has been falling here in Salford (on and off) for most of yesterday and today. Life, for some, is going to be mayhem. Absolute mayhem I tell you!

If this is global warming I'm going to put some more coal on the fire.

Shot this at 6:00am - Notice the heavy telephone lines! I've just looked out of the window and it's still falling.

That looks like it does up here, and it's snowing heavy again, just talked to someone on the A1 southbound, and it's down to 2 lanes with the ploughs out at Wetherby, so take it easy 'if' you 'have' to go out today.

Leicester has about 2 or 3 inches of the stuff - looks nice too

Spent a week up in Scotland last week. The snow was amazing - lots of it, proper crisp snow, not slush. Loved it.

It was still snowing here when I went to bed to bed at 6am and we still appear to be getting a light downfall although it's nearer to rain than snowflakes now.

The sparrows have remembered we had loads of fat ball strung on our trees so they seem to be happy.

The railway station is doing a roaring trade ...well for the one stopping train an hour that uses our line. Seems strange to see all the commuters arriving on foot rather than risk driving to the station, so far there have only been a couple of cars that have braved the roads around me. The roads are, in the main still pristine snow.

We have had our first significant snowfall of the winter overnight. There has been plenty down the road from here, but where we're located, the Loch keeps things a couple of degrees warmer than everywhere else, and that's been enough to keep it clear. Not any more though, and last night's snow has fallen on top of ice, which is sitting on top of an un-gritted road...

Needless to say we got the Jimny out to do the school run this morning.

We left our camera at the in-laws on New Year's Day, but after our fuel delivery has arrived I may take the video camera up the hillside and then post you all a clip.

It seems the council are closing all the schools in the area, their twitter feed is going mad with details. http://twitter.com/SwanseaCouncil. There is some snow falling here in the town center but it doesn't appear to be sticking, I'm told the outlying areas are much worse.

We've not had this amount of snow for over 30 years my village has stopped the local shop's shelves are empty no newspapers no Sky (the dish is full of snow) and it's forecast it to continue. HELP!!! P.S. Good job we've got global warming or we would be in a mess!!

Been sent home from work early due to the snow. Cycling home through 6 inches of the stuff was fun
