Britain's freezing conditions have forced British Airways to cancel 54 flights from Heathrow Airport.
The heaviest snowfall on Friday fell in south east Scotland and part of the Thames estuary.
Forecasters say the worst of the snow has passed but temperatures will fall in parts of the UK this weekend.
Have you been affected by the snowy weather conditions? Have you had a flight cancelled? Did the snow affect your weekend plans? Tell us your stories and send us your pictures of winter weather.
This debate has now closed. Thank you for your comments.

I get sick and tired of people complaining about how we aren't prepared for snow in the UK, especially people in other countries who get lots of snow. The UK isn't prepared for it because it would cost way too much to prepare for just one week's worth of snow! In Switzerland I had to change to winter tyres each year for my car and it was ludicrously expensive and utterly pointless as I was in the Rhine valley and just got rain for five months of the year. I'd rather have risked the week's worth of snow than fork out that much in personal costs and tax!
KT, London
Well said Scott Latham! Up north we get on with it - no whinging or whining. Why? Because it snows here every winter without hitting the news. Strange that Britain is only ever "gripped in snow" when it falls on the south.
DS, Northumberland
Even when the snow was at it's worst, the council managed to keep all of the roads clear. No problems at all getting to work.
Peter, Hartlepool
As a 'soft' southerner I think we need to make serious noises at the weather forecasters and all those responsible for keeping us mobile. Firstly this "chill" has been completely overstated and secondly our pathetic local councils etc have demonstrated (again) that they are completely useless. Thank god we don't have the weather like Scandinavia!
Clive, Woking
 |  Another example of what a nation of whingers we have become |
I think snow is always blown out of proportion to give people an excuse for a bit of a skive! Most journeys are do-able with care and a bit of extra effort. I think this is another example of what a nation of whingers we have become.
Matt, Cardiff, UK
Typical! I spend thousands of pounds on a holiday in Antarctica, and if I'd just waited a bit longer I could have had all the snow here!
Adam, London, UK
We were solemnly warned yesterday by a BBC weatherwoman that the entire South of England could blanketed by anything up to - wait for it - a centimetre of snow! Why the drama? It is winter, after all.
John Kevan, Colchester, UK
I swear Stourport is in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by an impenetrable anti-snow barrier. The most snow I have seen on the ground for years is a light sprinkling. We have had quite a heavy snowfall, but it all melted straight away. I love snow, why is it that we never have enough to make a snowball, never mind a snowman?
Andrew Beard, Worcs, UK
We had our first proper flutter of flakes last night. My daughter (8) announced "I'm really sorry mummy, but I can't stop myself". She then dived into the snow-covered garden wearing only pyjamas!
Deborah Cunningham, Ware, Hertfordshire
Snow? What snow? I keep hearing reports that it has been snowing. I looked out the window this morning and the sun was out and not a hint of ice or frost on the car. I kind of wished it had snowed though so I didn't have to commute to Swansea.
Tom, Cardiff, Wales
54 BA flights cancelled today. However, the only flight cancelled out of Stockholm today (including many to the UK) was one BA flight this afternoon - my flight of course. Why is BA so badly affected when no other airline seems to have had to cancel that many flights?
Alan Clark, Sutton, Surrey
Just arrived home from living in Australia for 8 years. I love seeing the snow. No need to complain just thank the work being done by the gritter men for keeping the roads open and the long hours they are doing.
Antony, New Romney, Kent
Yep, we're pathetic. I still can't believe the number of schools that are closing though - the neighbour's kids are off again, despite their only having been a couple of inches of snow and most of the roads being clear.
Jan, UK
| I'm sick of the crisp sunny days now with all this on the news! |
When is it going to snow? It seems like about a week its been on the news but we haven't seen a flake. I'm sick of the crisp sunny days now with all this on the news!
Rich, Plymouth, Devon I was home at Christmas with my family and it snowed on Christmas Day - fantastic! However, it was great to get back to Oz and get to the beach every weekend!
Andy Sinclair-Ford, Brisbane, Australia
Our school mostly stayed open when there was up to 6 inches of snow on the ground. But it was guaranteed that many of the teachers wouldn't be in - and first period was regularly cancelled so us pupils had to stay in registration class for an extra hour. The solution? At the first sign of snow - stay home for an extra hour - being late didn't count against you when it had been snowing. I get the feeling I wasn't the only one pulling this trick.
Alan, Glasgow, Scotland
How odd that it can be snowing in the north for several days but as soon as the snow nears London it becomes a major story!
Duncan Campbell, York, UK
The snow is still coming down! Its great - We've not had real snow for ages here. I've left my car at home and intend on building a huge snowman with the snow on the drive when I get home from work (unless one of the neighbours has beaten me to it)!
Paul, Halifax, UK
Why does it hit the headlines every time it snows? It's hardly unusual weather for the time of year. If there was ten feet of the stuff, or it was July, then there might be a point, but what's next? Showers in April making the news?
Simon, Manchester, UK
| For many people, snow still holds a magical appeal and brings back fond memories of childhood. |
There are some comments on here berating people moaning about the snow, the majority from countries where 'they know what snow is'. In fact, most people in this country aren't moaning about the snow, many want more of it and those without are complaining that they haven't had any! For many people, snow still holds a magical appeal and brings back fond memories of childhood.
Jamie, UK No - I have seen very little snow in London. That has not stopped everyone panicking though. My daughters school in Barnet is closing early in case of pupils becoming snowbound. Current weather report for Barnet - Sleet followed by clear weather. No snow. We are a nation of people looking for any excuse to panic and get a day of work.
John, Watford, UK
I live in Buxton and we've had quite a bit of snow here over the past few months. The gritters have done a good job so far, but last night I found myself gracefully sliding sideways down sheet ice, only to crunch into a parked car and pirouette slowly into the middle of the road. Another vehicle copied my attempt at car ballet only a few minutes later!
Derek Burdett, Buxton, Derbyshire
I live in a small village on the North Yorkshire Moors and yesterday managed a return trip to London without any problems at all. My drive has a covering of about 15 cm, but the roads are fine once the plough has been through. The news coverage seems rather out of line with reality here. Is it a slow news time?
Elizabeth, North Yorkshire
Hi There! Derby has received quite a bit of snow. I'm a born and raised Canadian living in Derby, and people are panicking over a few centimetres of snow! I find it hilarious because right now my parents are sitting in 6 feet of snow back home in Ontario, Canada. So, for all of you guys out there who think a few inches causes chaos, try a few feet!
Megan, Derby, England
When I worked in London it quite hilarious to see the locals' reaction to a few centimetres of snow. They all wanted to go home early in case they got stranded. It was quite sad really. How does the rest of the nation cope? People need to stop panicking at the sight of a bit of snow and just get on with it!
P Chapman, Manchester, UK
My daughter has been very disappointed as every evening she hears the weather forecaster say it will snow. She has been dreaming of making snowmen but we seem to be the only part of the country to escape with just a few flurries. Great for the adults but sad for the kids both big and small
Helen, Hereford
I cringe with embarrassment every time there are reports of problems in the country with public transport delayed/cancelled and schools closed when there are just few inches of snow! What a load of rubbish. No wonder the foreigners are laughing at us. I spent last Christmas in Canada and there were no less than 3 feet of snow everywhere where I stayed, and all roads and places were open as normal!
Mark Grimes, Sunderland, UK
Here we go again...it's February and it's snowing. The way that the national media is reporting it you'd think this was a rare occurrence! It's not, it happens every year so get over it. As they say there is no such thing as bad weather just the wrong type of clothes.
Mark Rillands, Ascot
What are all these reports of 'Arctic conditions'?! It's a bit cold and a bit snowy...give it a few days and the snow will have melted and all will be back to normal. If I listened to all the reports I could be forgiven in thinking this was the end of the world. Woe betide if we really did have arctic weather!
Jenny, Gloucester
Snow? We had hardly any, I think its just Southerners making a fuss!
Jen, Northumberland
This morning the driving conditions in Norden were terrible with all the snow turning into ice on the road. Surely, something should be done to prepare for the bad weather conditions for drivers.
Yasmeen Hasnain, Rochdale, England Having spent all day on Wednesday gritting ahead of the snow that was forecast, guess what? It's raining!
Dave, Richmond, Surrey
I can never understand why we have so much fuss in this country when we have snow. I used to live in Germany and every year when it snowed we always made it into school. Everyone made it into work, there were no transport problems and everything ran as normal. I just find it annoying and somewhat embarrassing that we cannot cope with a few feet of snow - even though the weather reports predicted this well before it happened.
Leona, Bristol
What I want to know is what is Tony Blair going to do about all this snow? He's been in power for 8 years now.
Jimmy
Lots of snow where I live. I travel to work in Edinburgh. There's no snow there and so I feel silly wearing winter wellies! Oh but others I work with that live in Edinburgh didn't come to work today because they were snowed in. I don't think so. Any excuse! I love the snow - we want more more more.
Faye, Livingston/Edinburgh
Well I just want to say what a remarkable job the local council or whoever have done to keep the road to work open. We had drifting snow overnight and it hasn't stopped snowing all day but the roads were clear completely. Three foot snow drifts couldn't stop me and my Megane from getting to work! Well done gritter and plough bloke (or woman).
Matt, Darlington
You call that snow. That's merely a flurry, nothing more. Six to nine more inches predicted for today in the NYC metro area.
Mark, USA
I see the annual "why can't Britain cope with snow?" brigade are back. Scotland and Northern Britain cope admirably with snow, but of course that never makes the news! And as a southerner I am happy for my train to be late one day a year rather than pay increased fares for anti-snow measures which would be wasted on the other 364 snow-less days.
Scott Latham, Redhill, England Our snow has all melted within hours of falling. Our local weatherman described the coming weather at the weekend as a "mini ice-age". It's barely qualified as a winter.
A Legge, Leeds, UK
Could somebody send some snow down here please? We had flurries but nothing settled......the kids are disappointed!
C Ellis, Poole, Dorset
We never get snow here, and still we haven't got any! Let's hope we get some tonight!!! I returned from Switzerland on Monday and have had plenty of snow this year but, funny though how Switzerland doesn't grind to a halt. Send our council planners skiing so they can do some research!
Matt, Bournemouth
When I set off for work this morning, I was full of praise for the snow plough/gritting teams who had been on my level street, however this was short lived when I lost control of my car on a hill near home which hadn't been ploughed/gritted!...Thankfully the road was empty and nobody or anything got hurt or damaged!
Chris, Rastrick, Brighouse
The only thing around here that's 'ground to a halt' is the schools! I lived on an outlying farm in the 70's/early 80's (when we could have snow for three months at a time) and trudged the two miles to school come hell or high water, or six foot deep snow drifts in our case, only to find that kids that lived around the corner hadn't turned in because of the snow! I think closing local schools which are easily accessible is pathetic!
Clare, Chapel-en-le-Frith, Derbys
| The snow just brings out the kid in me |
About 6 inches so far, and it's still coming! I so want to finish work and go home. No not to avoid the cold but to go and build a snowman and go sledging!! (I'm 34 by the way, but the snow just brings out the kid in me).
LG, South Yorkshire Having returned from a short break in New York yesterday it makes me furious to find my train to work was cancelled this morning due to 'severe weather conditions.' I encountered nearly a foot of snow falling on Monday evening in Manhattan. Did the city grind to a halt? Of course not!!! When will this country learn to deal with something that happens annually??
Neil Cooper, London, UK
Out here in Stuttgart we've got loads of snow - been here for ages. Funny how everything runs as normal, yet the UK grinds to a halt. Can't wait to get back to good old chaos on Friday when I get back to Heathrow!
The Sheriff, Stuttgart
For a change the local councils appear to have gritted the roads in time and commuting has been possible this year. My sister is a bus driver and her only problem has been unruly school children pelting her bus with snowballs. When she got out to reprimand the culprits, she got a face-full of snow and bent glasses for her trouble.
Jon Murtagh, Lincoln, UK
| I built a lovely snowman with my daughter |
It's been tears and laughter here. I built a lovely snowman with my daughter, 2 buttons for eyes, a carrot for the nose and a few stones for the mouth. How my daughter smiled... that was until my son went and bit the snowman's nose off! There's always one.
Roger Jones Here in Finland we're having a mild winter! The sea only froze a few weeks ago and the lakes don't have thick enough ice to drive trucks across yet. In a good winter you can drive halfway across the Baltic Sea to Sweden. You don't know what cold winter weather is in the UK with your badly insulated houses and cars with summer tyres all year round.
Richard Bevan, Helsinki, Finland
Please let's publicise the great job the gritters are doing. I got to work in record time this morning since they had done their job and others with unnecessary journeys stayed at home. Another by-product of the snow is the endless 'photocopier chats' it provokes - ah tradition!
Peter Lawley, Harrogate, North Yorks
I enjoy the snow and appreciate all the work done in keeping the roads clear - but how I wish our local council would sort themselves out! The pavements are like skating rinks and although salt is sometimes thrown down, this only melts it. When it gets old, it ices over again! I worry about local pensioners etc - it's ice skates they will need, not shoes or boots!
Alison Hannan, Dundee
We get caught out every year, where is the forward planning? We get heavy snow at least once a year and then everything falls apart. It's about time we got a grip in this country
Mandy Dobson, Morpeth, Northumberland York is covered by unpleasant, melting slush on the side roads, main roads totally clear. I hate the cold, wet nasty stuff. Role on spring!
Jon Harrison, York, England
Here in Switzerland we have had snow for at least the last 3 weeks (constantly). But the kids are still getting to school and believe it or not, the country has not ground to a halt. Amazing what a bit of forward planning can be worth.
M. Parker, Horgen, Switzerland
Conditions in Sheffield are not dire yet 117 schools have closed. In nearby Rotherham it's 13 and Barnsley it is 24. As I live in Barnsley and work in Sheffield, I know that the snow fall in Barnsley was much more than Sheffield.
Mike Fitzgibbons, Sheffield
Please don't forget to feed the birds in this cold weather and to provide fresh water for them. There is a lot of joy to be had watching them feed and it doesn't take any effort to put your scraps of food out.
Melanie Cole, Norfolk, UK I am originally from Kolkata India and this is the first time I have seen snow fall and settle down. Do I have to explain further what my reaction was? I was, in one word absolutely speechless. It is so wonderful to see the flakes of snow falling and when it is white all over!
Nilanjana Paul, Watford, London
All you soft Southerners need to get a grip and all you daft Northern councils please don't jump on the "softie" bandwagon by shutting up shop because some white stuff fell out of the sky. It is winter, it gets cold, and it snows. Strangely life goes on, well, if you're prepared to let it, it does.
Rob H, UK
Sympathies to all and sundry who are having to go through this. While we are quite used to lots of snow and drive under severe conditions at times, I can only wonder how you folks are coping with this. We are expecting a blizzard tomorrow with up to 25cm of snow so I guess we'll be sharing the misery with you. Good luck from the "Great White North"!
P. K. Smith, Nova Scotia, Canada
| They are doing an excellent job |
Please spare a further thought for your local authority lads and lassies (yes lassies) who are working far more hours than they should, due to gritting and call out duties. In some authorities, the gritters are made up of office workers who have no choice but to go on call out and then have to go on to do their normal job the next day, no time off in lieu and no rest! So please don't moan from the comfort of your homes, they are doing an excellent job.
Caroline, Warwickshire I stupidly told my little boy about my childhood in Germany, when my mother used to take us to school on a sledge. Now he can't wait for me to sledge him 4 miles cross country to HIS school. Thankfully we've only had a light dusting so far - please, no more!
Julie, UK
In defence of our Highways Agency I must say that my 90 mile journey to a client this morning was free of snow, ice or other obstructions. I travelled from Cheshire, through Staffordshire, through Derbyshire, clipped the corner of Leicestershire and travelled half way up Nottinghamshire with absolutely no problems what so ever. I dare say that if I had been using little side roads I wouldn't have had such a good journey, but you can't expect a government agency to have sufficient gritting capacity to salt all the side roads in Britain and to have that capacity sitting idle for 99% of the year. Who do you think is doing the gritting? Father Christmas?
Rick Hough, Knutsford, Cheshire, UK
We live high up in the hills and had at least 7 to 8 inches of snow last night. I still managed to make it to work in my little Micra, after I dug it out. It just goes to show that you don't need a 4 x 4.
Lee Harris, Consett, UK
The ease with which schools closed at the first sign of inclement weather is a disgrace. Conditions in Bradford are not severe yet 70 schools have closed causing mayhem for parents who work.
Ian, Bradford, UK
| All schools and businesses ran as normal |
We had 3 feet of snow fall here yesterday in Italy and everyone made it to and from work ok and all schools and businesses ran as normal. I look at these photos of the UK where there is hardly any! Everyone in the UK whinges at everything for nothing - now I know why I moved away!
Jim, Italy/ ex UK I overheard someone on my slow, delayed, crowded train to London Bridge (which comprised only 8 carriages, due to an earlier rolling stock failure) this morning. This woman was describing a business trip to Germany last week, where there was several centimetres of snow. The train she caught waited at one of the stations, because it was a few minutes early! Can you even imagine that sort of thing happening here in the UK?
Rob Holman, Chislehurst, Kent, England
Quick! A snowflake has dropped, we must all get to the superstore and stock up on milk and bread! That seems to be the British way of dealing with things after all! I'm in Elgin and will be driving home to Motherwell this weekend, a drive that will take me through Aviemore, the Cairngorms and eventually the A9. It's a 200 mile journey but I am looking forward to the drive as it will be the Highlands at its best. And not to worry as in true British standard my boot will be full of bread and milk. Cheers to the gritter and plough drivers who will be treating the A9!
Tony McCann, Elgin
What snow? Having driven to work from Harrogate in North Yorkshire to Bradford in West Yorkshire this morning, I can report that there was virtually no snow on any of the roads, just a little slush in the middle. I did the journey as quickly as ever and reports of over a foot of snow are absolute rubbish. A lot of fuss about nothing - again.
Noel, Harrogate
I really don't understand why schools need to close. In 1962 we all walked to school and had lessons as usual.
Sue P, Sutton Coldfield, UK
Absolutely beautiful Christmas card scenes right here in my garden. It took me more than twice as long to get to work; price worth paying? Maybe I should have taken the day off! Bring it on, let's have loads more!!!
Phil, Suffolk What a lot of fuss about nothing! We live between Leeds and Bradford and my partner who travels to work in Halifax has got there on public transport quicker than ever! Surely all this fuss on the news is just going to cause chaos with people not even attempting to go to work causing services and businesses to grind to a halt.
Hal Gore, Leeds, UK
Why is it that as soon as one flake falls all the schools are immediately closed? Shops and businesses carry on as usual so why not the schools?
Michael Thompson, Hull, England
If all the anti-SUV protestors could just make themselves known when their cars are stuck in the snow, I'll be sure to wave as I trundle past in my 4x4.
Chris, UK
To Chris in his SUV. I drove 90 miles this morning across the East Midlands and I only saw one car stuck in snow. Yep, a 3 ton Land Rover had slithered into about a foot of snow sitting over mud and was stuck fast. My lightweight diesel, front wheel drive car easily coped with the snow.
Rick Hough, Knutsford, Cheshire, UK
| To all you gritter drivers - thanks for a job well done! |
Well snow again, but the good news is the gritters. I've watched them from my office window and they have been out constantly over the past few days and done a brilliant job. When the roads are blocked with snow, everyone complains that no gritters have been out, but when the roads have been cleared, you never hear a thing. So to all you gritter drivers - thanks for a job well done!
Steve, Milton Keynes I am always amused by the 'why can't we cope' comments when it snows. Countries that can cope have invested heavily in snowploughs, gritters, and the average driver will probably have a set of 'winter' wheels and tyres for their cars. If councils did that in most of the UK the local population would moan at the 'wasted money' as these machines sat idle 4 years out of 5.
John, Romford, UK
Oh no it's not snowing is it? What will we do? How will we cope? I can't believe all the fuss over a bit of snow.
Dudley, Blackburn, UK
Everywhere I go people complain at how bitterly cold it is at the moment. Having ordered the children I work with to don their scarves, gloves and hats before "braving the cold" I went outside yesterday in my t-shirt and jeans and loved every minute of it!!!!
Sally, Sussex, England
Well, sorry to all those who want snow but we seem to have it all! We had two inches last night and I had the day off school today! It was fantastic. I was sledging with almost all the other children in the village all morning and in the afternoon we made snowmen and snow angels. It's been snowing almost all day really hard and we're predicted another 5 inches tonight. Bring on snow, take off school!
Catherine, Suffolk, UK
I've just been to Bulgaria, and they happily cope with half-a-metre of snow. How come in the UK (& NL) everything grinds to a halt?
Paul, Amsterdam, NL
I actually commented on Tuesday to my colleagues that it was strange that the rest of Europe was covered in snow while Amsterdam didn't have any. Since then we've had a very light covering but it's not had any traffic stopping effects (Paul must live in a different Amsterdam to me!). Luckily I'm going to Canada next week to relive childhood memories of snow instead!
Jennifer, Netherlands, ex-UK
Due to the fact that I live in an area which is never gritted and I have to use a car to get to work, I absolutely hate the snow. I'd much rather see rain, thank you very much.
Elaine, Letchworth Garden City, UK Snow is wonderful. I love it and hope to see the real stuff so my little one can make a snowman. Children adore snow and it's an essential part of childhood! Hoping it will be deep enough for me to revisit childhood days again!
R.C, Oxfordshire
Why is it that when it snows in the UK the whole country comes to a standstill??? It took me 2 hours to travel a total of 8 miles into work this morning. I dread the journey back home tonight!
Matthew, Marton, Nr Middlesbrough
Just spent the weekend in York and it was amazing having snow for once. I hope I've brought the weather back to Winchester with me!
Charlie, Winchester
Well, in the space of one hour we had hail, snow, rain and then sunshine and blue skies. Within 10 minutes all that lovely snow had gone again. My little boy was furious.
Kath, Grimsby, UK
Condolences from Canada. We've been living with three feet of the white stuff since November, with another month or more to go. I hate every single snowflake.
Bernadette, Winnipeg, Canada Well, I'm sitting here in an office block in the West End of London and we just had the five minutes of snow...nothing settled.... Roll on summer!
Sam Harrison, Grays, England
I am desperate for snow! I got a sledge for Christmas and so far no snow.
L.C., Winchester, England
Snow, snow and more snow in the North! Amazing how much chaos this white stuff can cause!
Wendy Waters, Newcastle upon Tyne
What snow? Nottingham hasn't had a decent amount of snow since 1991 and it looks like we'll never get any now. Boring, boring, boring....
Lee, Nottingham
Please let it snow so my kids can go sledging. We had a dusting this morning but we are all waiting for the big one!!
Gill, Bradford
| Enjoy it, and if you really want snow move to Canada |
At 4.30 this morning I was shovelling snow 20 centimetres had fallen over night, then I spent the morning rush hour driving my bus for the TTC, nothing new over here in Toronto just a typical winter's day. Enjoy it, and if you really want snow move to Canada.
Bal, Toronto, Canada Where's the snow? I was expecting to be snowed in on Saturday according to the weatherman, but guess what - they're wrong again.... why do we ever listen to them? The only accurate way to see what's going on - look outside the window! (oooh and its snowing now!)
Gem, Leeds
I moved to Yellowknife, Canada in 2003 and have now discovered what snow and winter really are. Here in Yellowknife we have almost 8 months of snow and winter! I am getting to enjoy the snow and learn to have fun with it (skiing, snowmobiling, etc.). Barely getting use to the temperatures below minus 40C and watching large trucks (20,000 - 60,000 tonnes) driving over a large frozen lake!
Bev, Yellowknife, Canada
Has tried to snow twice here today and it all turned to nothing - so not fair, I want to build a snowman. Please Mr Weather Man don't build up our hopes if it's not going to happen.
Sam, Milton Keynes
We've had a couple of snow showers here today - nothing settled. I wish we'd have had some serious falls overnight - I love waking up to a thick blanket of snow!
Gill, Hawkinge, Folkestone, UK I agree that if the snow starts to fall in London the whole of the city will come to a near standstill, three to four inches in York and in the Humber region, but nothing said about it hardly....I will bet the gritters and snow clearers are out in force when it does come to the capital.....once more a North/South divide.......Whatever happened to the Great in great Britain??
Carl Longfield, York, UK
Desperate for a bit of snow - 3 to 4 inches would be cracking! Can someone get out there with a snow machine if it doesn't arrive by tomorrow?
Conrad, London
10 centimetres! That's more like a heavy frost over here.
Marc, Chicago, USA
| Who cares how long it takes to get to work, it's great fun |
We've got loads of snow, about 6 inches yesterday and it's the snow of your childhood. It scrunches and squeaks under foot and makes superb snowballs and snowmen. Who cares how long it takes to get to work, it's great fun.
Mags, Middlesbrough I can't wait to see how much it snows in London...all the disruption. You can pretty much guarantee that everything will come to a standstill if it snows any heavier then it did this morning! No more work!
Francesca, London, UK
Every time there is a small chance of snow the children get excited, let's hope the forecasters have got it right and Southampton sees some snow...
Paul, Southampton
Please let it snow here in Oxford! It would be a nice distraction from all the work, and it has been cold enough all winter.
Beth, Oxford, UK
There has been very little about the snow on the BBC! If this were in the south it would be the main head line. "Winter chaos hit England" but as it's the north its not reported. We got 3 or 4 inches and get on with it, when it hits the south its going to be major news..
Dave, York
Snow? What snow? My six year old son Maxim was up early this morning, which isn't normal as it is half-term! He came in to tell me that there was no snow but it had been promised by the weathermen! The only good that has come out of it is that he has learned that which we all usually learn later in life - that the weathermen are only right half the time!
Laurence Burke, Southend on Sea, Essex
I can't wait for the snow. Let's hope we get lots of it!
