much better than the MX5 I followed Went out in my friends mx last, let's just say it was actually quite funny I haven't touched my coop. It's currently sat under about 3-4 inches of the white stuff.Purely because I'm using the works van due to having been working away.I can't believe how, even in these conditions, how badly people still drive.Tailgating, driving too moving out into the 3rd lane while it's covered in 3 inches of snow due to not being used.The amount of crash damaged vehicles abandoned on the side of the m4 is ridiculous!

2 hours to get from Coventry to the sleepy town of Alcester. I made it to Stratfoed with no problem, but then the roads were gridlocked. So I decided to go the back lanes . As I turned off the main road, all I saw was fresh virgin snow, thinking I may have made the wrong decision I noticed a Clio and a Focus were following me. Now the road we were on is 4 miles long and no side roads off it. I was having fun trying to work out were the road was but then noticed that the Focus was no longer there. 2 miles later just at the brow of a hill I noticed that the Clio had stopped half way up. I but was a bit worried when I exhaust was catching in the drifts but luckily the snow was still soft. I love my Coupe

About 3" (in old money) here on the top of Bluebell Hill in deepest Kent and still snowing. The main roads are OK at the moment but the side roads are interesting and if it freezes tonight entertainment abounds!!

Thanks for the heads up I'm up at Marlow international, literally just off the A404..Was up there for a few weeks in November and again for the last week and this week..Do you by any chance drive along the A404 towards the M4 in the mornings? As I saw a black one briefly last week...Also followed a yellow 16v p reg heading up towards Birdshills golf centre too..Didn't post in the spotting section as unsure which area to post in? Lol

Been snowing on here since Thursday, mainly light snow, with the odd heavy shower.
All main roads were clear, but Friday night, heavier snow came down and it was freezing too, making for very slippery conditions.
Has snowed lightly since, until around 10am this morning and has been coming down heavier and steadily since.
The snow was sticking to uncleared surfaces, but didn't start sticking to cleared surfaces until around 3pm.
We had about 3 inches here up until today, but looks like we've got a total of around 4 - 5 now, looking at the untouched surfaces.
Still snowing too.

No snow here at all. We had a very small flurry in November but that's been about it. I'm still on holiday, no doubt we will eventually see the white stuff, but for now not a flake.... I've just cleaned out the wood burner & put the ashes outside. I'm still in my dressing gown & bare feet. (not a pretty sight I know) Not that cold here. In the sticks where I live can be quite sheltered.

17cm here in Rugby. Swept it off the beemer and drove 23miles to Warwick. Had some 'interesting' moments Sat in the office on my own for an hour and have now driven back home. The main roads have a layer of ice under the slush and are lethal in places. Take care anyone venturing out today.

Takecare all. Most I've had here for a while Shaun I won't lose money if I don't go to my job this evening, but I'll be there, as I don't like letting people down. Haven't decided whether to take the Coupe yet though. Snow is great, you get to meet your neighbours, ever one is happy, dads/mums get to have time with the children. I know its a massive pain in the ass for some people but I do think it brings out the best in people. All it brings out around here, are the kids who aren't in school that decide to throw snowballs containing stones, at cars and trains, etc. Parents around here can't be bothered spending their time with their kids and kick them out onto the streets. Today will be no different.
