Yep terrible snow drifts. Temperature is warmest now it’s been in about 4 days, it’s -2. Went out earlier, Sir took me in his truck. Some roads are terrible with wind drifting snow off fields. Few cars in ditches, main roads (A17) closed. And people still drive too fast for the conditions and still drive too close. My chiropractor was telling me she’d got stuck yesterday for four and half hours with her kids on the A1 - 16 vehicles including 5 lorries which started with a small knock between one car and one lorry. Back home now in front of fire.

Is your boiler a condenser? If it is your pipe outside will be frozen....under the boiler is a pipe that goes outside, take that off, they'll be loads of water, put a bucket under and start your boiler up, it should start and once your pipe defrosts put it back on

Yes same here. Then it got to -14 worst. I base the seriousness on road use and when there’s been daily and nightly closures on several major roads around us, resulting in people being stuck for 6 or so hours, it’s bad enough for me to stay home.

Yeah, but there's a strong wind, and nearby a guy has a weather station in his garden and it measured -19C (yes, minus 19!)... and that is a little chilly in any language!

believe it or not, there is snow in varying degrees every single year....and every single year we enjoy reacting as if it's never happened before...wait till summer!! more than 3 days of sunshine and we have to pretend we're all going to die of thirst and stop using any water! it's just an odd national quirk...it's beautiful where i am, long may it continue!

Its an upstairs boiler and i discovered they put the pipe straight into the guttering so as soon as the gutters fill up and freeze its fucked ive had to climb up to the roof and hack away at the ice in the gutter before i could even start defrosting the condensation pipe, fixed it now though

It’s not too bad, busses still working but some schools shut tomorrow so having ads’ kids a day early which I don’t mind, it means I don’t have to go out in it at pick up time!

Bloody froze today though, I got the bus to my friends and was an ice cube when I arrived!

It's not that common at all in these amounts. Local roads are blocked, cars stuck, emergency services can't cope with all the calls for help.

People think they should try and get to work but then get stuck and make the situation worse.

Thankfully, none here since Monday nights snow. It’s a bit blustery, but looks like we are in a clear-ish zone between the 2 weather fronts with possibly a bit of snow overnight & a bit more Saturday

I’m just about to head out for a night of debauchery at Townhouse - let’s hope I don’t get snowed in!!

Whilst I'm sure it's bad in some places the news media is whipping up their usual hysterical frenzy. On the evening news I saw a report, live from Exeter, where the bare faced liar said they had had several inches of snow. Not a couple, or even a few, but several!All the time you could see people behind her in what was barely two inches of snow....
