I'm further north of you, near Middlesbrough and I love the snow. It started here just after 10:00 a.m. and it's been on and off all day. It's started to turn a bit sleety now though.
N E london and SW Essex it has been beautiful - all the snow and ice melted, cold to start with but getting warm thru the day. I was doing my delivery in just my shirt.
OMG - Just looked out of the window after eating dinner & our cars are covered in snow again, along with the garden & road! It's still snowing & looks lovely out there.
I've lit the candles, husband's made a nice coal/log fire, so it'll be all cosy & warm inside.
Take care on your way to & from Sainsbury's dusty!
