I'm amazed just how much snow has fallen in Staffordshire, I was only
expecting a couple of cms!
I was going to Norfolk today for the weekend but cancelled thinking all the
snow would be there and I wouldn't be able to get back tomorrow.

Snow turned a bit sleety just before it stopped around 21.30

Current temp here -0.2c

Yes Graham it's amazing, particularly for about 3 hours up to 2030z, it
was heavy snow, then the snow petered out, as you say sleety towards the
end. We've had 5 1/2 inches of snow.

I was surprised the Stoke match against Sunderland wasn't abandoned,
most of the match was played in a blizzard.

As a long time Sunderland fan I'm grateful it wasn't. I think it
probably looked worse on the TV than in reality. I'm surprised they
didn't use a proper orange ball. Mind you I did try, at half time, to
find out the regulations on abandoned games and scores. Most of the info
is related to betting - which says much about professional sport these days.
