We haven't had snow round here for years - then I woke up to this today
No cars on the road and mine is staying put too
The only thing I'd consider doing outside today is shaking any heavy snow off shrubs that may damage branches or cause them to bend and never return to their original shape. Other than that, sit in the warm and enjoy

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
It's interrupted a whole weekend of gardening I planned with holes still in the ground and things sitting waiting to be planted...am hoping the snow will provide some insulation until I can get to it. Worked as fast as I could yesterday but the light failed... and as always there was more to do than I'd thought. I had to take a rose out of a tub and put it in the ground, which entailed a huge deep hole and moving a half barrel of bricks and earth. So much more to get done to have the garden looking nice for Christmas...
dahlias in deffinitely, you dont need to brush snow offf plants.yup,water for the birds where are you Pete8? We have had a fair bit of rain and wind today, it has now gone down to 1d, have a friend 10 miles from Braintree (Essex) snow has laid, and accordiny to my daughter its snowing in Oxted surrey.
Lots of snow here in Windsor, it's been snowing all day, started at 7am after the heavy rain. I can't recall proper snow like this for 5-6 years & again the forecast was wrong. I knocked the snow off some evergreen shrubs and parts of the hedge, got absolutely soaked.

Snow?.........................what snow?????
We've had nothing here (E.Lincs) except a few wet flakes this morning ; this readily turned to a fine rain all day .
Maybe a slippy start tomorrow though ; let's hope not !

Seems like we've avoided all that , it's even stopped raining now (E.Lincs).
7.30am start tomorrow , let's hope not too slippery . Currently about +3 Centigrade .
I'm in Billericay Essex it's snowed all day until about 5pm and is about 6" deep
More forecast for tomorrow - the joys of being retired
