Its great driving in Scotland in snow, they keep the roads clear, all the time, they never seem to have a problem, i was in Dunkeld last year, its only a smallish villiage, snow was piled high at the edge but roads were great,

mm Dunkeld a long way from me..... no sign of gritters/snow ploughs up here (Skye) - but today snow only about an inch so not to worry - though I did slide a bit on one of the hills on my way home

Go to work on my motorbike, and it was a bit chilly and snowing at Lane Top (Sheffield) this morning, so was taking it steady until I got down to the ring road and all was clear but wet. it has been trying to snow during the day but not settling.
 
we have snow on the mountains but none down on the roads, though there might be some up at pen-y-pass but ive not been out that way, i'm in snowdonia.

Started snowing heavily on the Moray Firth yesterday.... Turned a bit slushy today, but falling heavily again now.
 
I was playing golf at 1 this afternoon overlooking Lyme Bay & bright & sunny
 
Great idea for a thread!
It's brass monkeys cycling to work in Oxfordshire!
 
Great response, thanks everyone. It's good to read through and see which way the snow is travelling.

Still snowing here but very wet underfoot so very slushy. M6 still clear over Shap (just come back driving over Shap), but v slushy and visibilty isn't great. Nice flashy new illuminated road signs on motorway at Shap with pretty picture of a snowflake - somewhat stating the obvious!

Still not freezing hard, temp must be around 0C - if it freezes it'll be a nightmare.
 
Snow good if you haven't got Snow Pics, Crampons etc if you venture out in the hills

I'm back:king:

Not a day for the faint hearted but made it back to Doncaster at 7pm (left at 6.30am)

A66 had about 1 foot of snow this morning but snow ploughs had a lane clear by the time we got up there

Held up for an hour on A76 north of Dumfries after several vehicles (including a car transporter full of cars) left the road due to black ice, one car went off right in front of us!!!

Decent run back until South of Wetherby services where held up again for another hour after a furniyure wagon parted company with its trailer:rolleyes2:

Left Grantham 5.20am Got back to Grantham at 8.25pm boggle eyed:lol-049:

going bed soon, got to be out again in 7 hours LOL
 
No snow here in Redditch yet, but forecast for 4 inches in the next 48 hours or so.
