It's snowing here - looks quite heavy but it's only settling on grass
so far so it's really only slight. I see Heathrow have cancelled
flights today so I assume it's worse up there

There was a piece in my paper this morning saying that yesterday they
had cancelled 70 short-haul flights scheduled for today as a
precautionary measure, so they might as yet have little or no snow lying.

- well it's in the amber warning area. Anyone else got snow? There
aren't many posts yet.

Here in Cranleigh we had very light drizzle first thing and then light
snow from about 8:30. I was about to say that it hadn't started settling
yet, but then looked out of the window to discover that at some point in
the last 15 minutes the snow had become much heavier and it is now
moderate verging on heavy, and has started settling on the grass. If
this keeps up I imagine it won't be long before it starts settling on
all surfaces.
That's the problem with snow, you can hear heavier rain but snow is
always quiet. I've experienced what you have, looked out and wondered
where all the snow came from when not long previously it wasn't even
snowing!
