    Mashing down in Bromley.......it’s the start of the apocalypse I tells ya.

    Is that serious?

    I need to decide whether to chance the drive to Bromley from Rainham in Kent.

    It's been snowing 15-30 minutes here and there is already a dusting on cars and side roads.

    I used to battle to work somehow whatever the weather but tended to be be regarded as a mug.

    In my sixties I think they might be right. See stress thread. Should Ijust cut my losses rather than worry about it?

    Last year when it snowed it took me 4 hours to get home. I don't want anymore of that.

    Swirling round Canary Wharf at the moment. And so is the snow!!
  • Few flakes dancing in the North Yorkshire air, nothing of concern just yet. Bloody cold mind.

    Anyone know how the M25 is? My daughter has had to drive to Merton this morning.

    She left home well before 7 but I told her it would probably take 2 hours even leaving then.

    In my experience it starts stacking up at Clackets around 6:am. The snow will only make that worse!

    Stay at home Len, make yourself a nice warm drink and watch a bit of tv, and occasionally look out the window at the snow falling. Sometimes you just have to leave it. :+1:

    Christmas card snow in Greenwich, just starting to settle.
  • Snow easing in downtown Bexley, and a beautiful blue sky appearing.
  • Can’t see the floor but it’s settling on roofs at tower bridge

    Naively hoping the office will get closed
  • Snowing for a while in Eynsford, huge flakes at the moment! Still only a light covering on the ground and blue sky inbetween flurries.

    What good is a 4x4 if you can't get passed the abandoned 2wd cars?
  • Blue skies and so few flakes that you could count them here on Sussex/Kent border.

    People who are saying it won't settle on Twitter etc. it's going to snow most of the week, I reckon some of it might settle by then!

    Same on the Sussex/Surrey border.

    Beautiful day for the dog walk this morning.

    She texted me to say she'd arrived 2 hours after she left so my estimate was spot on.

    Hope the return leg is ok

    Belting it down in Maidstone at the moment.
  • Belting it down in Naudstone at the moment.

    It's so cold in Maidstone, I reckon, that you have to wear gloves which makes it difficult to type, I guess.
  • Overnight dusting of snow and snow flurries now here in Dereham Norfolk.
  • I’m going outside. I may be some time.
