About the same in Peterborough. The bike is warm and snug but the car is about to get some exercise, it's a V8 Range Rover!

We had about 4" yesterday afternoon/evening in Birmingham. Went out in friends car last night-you should have seen the cagers(Mercs,BMWs mainly) sliding around: you know the story-high revs & 1st gear! Didnt see any gritters or snow ploughs on the 3 main roads we used. Daresay they were all out on the M6/M5.
The Fazer is wrapped up nice and warm in the kitchen(where else?) There is a friends YBR 125 in the shed with a couple of older bikes. I had to wait years to be able to enjoy having the bike indoors-no-one to nag me. I can do my little maintenance jobs/polishing whatever with the radio, kettle, heat & light. I did manage a couple of rides out last month before the weather turned colder and looking forward to the spring. 45 years ago I rode year round in all weathers & 60s bike gear wasnt particularly good at keeping you warm & dry.

Nothing up in the North East of Scotland, it seems to have missed us for a change, good to see the Southerners getting a share of it though.

No snow in Poole, but I did notice some of the harbour had frozen over in the shallows.

I picked up a scooter rider when he fell on his arse in front of me last night. Zero speed spill but he was hurt as the handlebar fell onto his calf muscle! He'll have a fair bruise growing today.
