There is still a lot of the snow on the ground here. In the back garden last night it was still about 5" deep.

For the first time since Wednesday I needed to use the car last night so I cleared as much of the snow as I could but it wasn't enough as the car got beeched! A quick helping hand from one of the neighbours sorted that. Because of the snow on the pavement I've parked it on another neighbours drive - mine goes angles down and then flattens out whereas nearly all the others in the street are just flat.

Roads and pavements mostly clear here but still lots of snow about and it's cold. Fields etc. are all totally white.

Metcheck reckons it is going to start snowing any minute now. We'll see!

Arse! I have a delivery due to arrive in stockport tomorrow!

What are its chances O Wondrous God of the Courier world?!

All depends my love. Most of our SK deliveries have been unaffected, some premiums have failed but nothing too serious.
Most couriers will run one, possibly 2 linehauls over the weekend so this maximises the chances of your parcel "making it" to the correct delivery depot ready for Monday (this generally applies to all couriers, if you send it Friday the chances of it arriving Monday are MUCH higher than any other time, Monday is always my quietest day of the week because the fleet tends to go out on time because it was all loaded on Saturday and Sunday)

But if it lobs it down tonight all that will go out the window of course

Oh well, not much I can do about it now, except maybe I could have sent it all out on weds/thurs.

Nvm! Thanks!

A winter storm is set to bring snow and heavy rain to parts of the UK.

It is due to arrive in southern England and Wales on Monday afternoon, spread to the Midlands and continue overnight, forecasters say.

It could bring up to eight inches of snow (20cm) in some areas, and 30 to 40 millimetres of rain in others.
