Still raining here but heavy snow brentwood way apparently.

edit: rain has turned to snow here. Small flakes but a lot of it!

Father Christmas came to work today to see the kids we had invited to see him and get a present. It all sorted very sensibly, but then he ended up in the car park throwing snow at all the kids

He told them he had ordered the snow just for them specially.

All but one of us made it in today, and they only didn't make it because they live in the middle of nowhere in Wales and couldn't get out of their farm track. We went out for our Christmas lunch today which was nice.

Just got back from taking Patch for a walk in the snow, he can't quite work out what it is on the ground, its very funny to watch, and walking back it was very quiet apart from the crunch crunch of the snow where I was walking on it. Was a lovely noise.

Took me an hour and a half to get to work (normally 40 mins) mainly because until I got to the dual carriageway, the roads hadn't been gritted so the traffic wasn't doing any more than 20 mph. We're due more snow tonight apparently, which should be fun!

M3 and M4 into London are now virtual car parks with several hour queues. M25 all the way around is a car park. People stuck in supermarket car parks and heaven knows what else. Someone in town just reported on Radio 2 they'd moved 10m in three hours. Madness.

We're a nation of benders when it comes to driving in the snow

We've got a bit more falling here. Was rain when I popped out to the postbox and snow on the way back.

I'm really glad that my planned meeting in Wokingham today didn't happen.

Friend of mine went out to grit the drive way and footpath (risky) and stood and watched as a woman drove down the fairly narrow, twisty, icy and un-gritted road talking on her mobile phone. Quote from him "Oh, obviously it's not as bad as I thought out there.."

I got cut up in a taxi on the way home. On a roundabout, car came from the right and was absolutely determined to get in front of us. Luckily the taxi driver knew what he was doing and was able to get out of the way.

There appears to be a blizzard going on outside.
