About 1" of snow here in Broadhempston, and I think that fell last night
at about 9-10pm.

The mind shudders: wet roads (from yesterday), snow and subzero
temperatures.

Ice skating anyone? (or more likely given the hills, luge anyone?)

yeah,,do i walk or drive to work (bit of fun to drive),,,,(newton abbot) still snowing @ 6am.!

It was still snowing at 7am this morning when I was walking to the bus stop, was very cold and wet. The kids are annoyed too as their school is open whereas another a bit further along (Queensway) is closed.

I think I'm going to stay in and hibernate today.

Just thinking, it's a good advertisement for Gordon's servers, Palm and Exeter FM web sites are still working fine, Heart had traffic problems earlier and their travel site doesn't work, but I gather every Heart web site from around the country runs from a limited amount of servers on one connection, so it could be that they are just getting hammered more.

If it helps, Exeter FM have details of school closures for Torbay, South Devon and Exeter areas. Might be of use to anyone who has kids in school in these areas.
