Woke up this morning to see everything covered with a white carpet at least 3" deep. So we quickly packed up and set off for Woodhead Pass. Unfortunately, there was very little snow so we gave up and went back to Magic Mountain in Glossop (excellent shop) for some retail therapy. The staff sugested that Snake Pass might be better - and it certainly was. This is Mrs A. setting off north along the Pennine Way. We made it as far as Hern Stones for quick bite to eat and then slithered back down to the road. Great fun and much better than shopping!

Woke up and made a mug of my strange tasting Indian tea. Put fire on. Went upstairs and opened up the BBC News website. Apparently it's snowing. Is it? Thought it was cold this morning - had to find my slippers. Went to window and would you believe it - it's snowing

Settling a little too. Going to be hell at work tomorrow if it keeps up though

We had a covering yesterday afternoon but it didnt last long. On Friday (3/3) we had a good couple of inches and I would say that we might get some todays because it feels cold enough.

I am in Glasgow also. WAs out in the town last night and decided to come home at 1am as the snow was starting to get heavy. Ended up a good idea as the bus struggled to get up the hill, I also thought that it would be murder to try and get a taxi after all the clubs closed.

I even saw some people get out of their taxi and push it along!

It only stopped at around 11am so that was nearly 10 hours it snowed for.

The view from our front bedroom, an hour or so ago:

It's a quick Photoshop stitch up and the contrast between snow and sky was very difficult to manage, but you get the idea. OK, so the snow line is at about 400 metres (the top of that hill is about 650m) but hey, winter's not far off after all.

The bizarre thing is, thanks to that global warming thingy, our mild autumn has seen to it that all the shrubs and most of the trees (all except the silver birches, which you can see looking naked and a bit purple in the middle distance) are only just dropping their leaves.

Snow and leaves in the same shot! And I've just put more coal on the fire.
