Dry and frosty over here when I got up. But it started snowing about half an hour ago. It looks like it has been gradually moving east.

Snow started about 10am in Watford, Herts. 2" - 3" by noon. Easing off now (1pm)

We had a bit more here in Woking, but stopped now, and the sky is actually a bit brighter.

Looling outside now Richard I think it'll be mostly gone by the morning - I'm only a coulpe of miles away from you.

More than likely, but it depends whether it freezes tonight. I must have driven past your house on more than one occasion over the past 10 or so years.

You probably have Richard it's down a side road opposite St Paul's Church in Addlestone

Yes that was a shortcut I used to go home quite often; but the centre up Rudge Rise closed a couple of years ago, they are now based in Walton-on-Thames.
BTW Pete, the snow is still thick on the ground here.

There are only two centres in the Rudge Rise area that I know of, Hare Hill Club ( to be avoided ) and The Samaritans

It's The Samaritans that moved.
|

I always thought it was an odd place for them - smack in the middle of redneck Addlestone

Cheap rent.

Operating out of a Car Park of a dubious working mans club is a high price to pay for cheap rent Rumour has it the club may be closing - which would be bad as the customers will start drinking elsewhere { shudder }

We actually had a few meetings in the back room of the club; it wasn't too frightening.
We moved because there was a rumour that the council were going to build in that plot. When we made enquiries they would not confirm, but also would not give us security of tenure longer than six months. It seemed a good idea to move, and the new centre is in a more modern building with slightly better facilities.

Yes I remember the rumours ( which is why the club may be closing ) - I take it you are a Samaritan ? my wife ( before she met me ) had a go at being one ( if that's the correct term ) you / they do very good work

Same here in Surrey ( UK ) - really sizeable flakes with little or no traffic to stop it settling.

It is raining here, it reminds me of the Wales.

That's probably the first time Italy has ever reminded someone of Wales!

It certainly wouldn't happen in the Five Nations...

What is 'Five Nations'? Did you understand the soccer Chris or was it all in vain?

What is this 'soccer', of which you speak? Some foolish activity to distract the proletariat, I've no doubt.
