Makes a change when the southern shandy drinkers get the snow first (if at all!). It'll be all over the southern biased press no doubt this evening.

Yeah, woke up to find that a branch of a tree had landed on the roof of my car. Fortunately, all the ivy covering it acted as a cushion & no damage was done but it was a hefty bit of wood.

Actually it could have been unfortunate, because ivy weakens branches over time, enough for them to be blown off.

I don't think anyone's quite as affected as you ...

Complete and Utter Chaos

"Never known a night like it", were the words that greeted me as I walked into the Cock and Bottle for my post matins snifter earlier today.

More front than Southend, in the old Cockney vernacular, would be a fitting epithet for the landlady of our local. She's been round the block a few times has our Margolin but she hasn't seen this much white powder in November since attending Francis Rossi's bonfire party back in her days as a Tiller Girl.

And I have to concur.

Trees that are still in full leaf just had no way of supporting the sheer volume of snow that fell overnight and roads are blocked right left and centre around here. Seems to be very localised though - nothing fell at all in Frome but Burrington Combe was completely cut off for a number of hours.

The sheer scale of last night's storm is being laid bare as I go from pub to pub where the locals are already describing this weather event as the Great November Blizzard of 2012.

Is anyone else affected?
