It's flippin' mental, Geezer! The M4's shut at my junction which I've not known before and I went out half an hour ago for a mooch and the footprints have gone already! Only downside is that my missus has a deadline to hit today meaning my boy scout like enthusiasm has been met with swift and cutting rebukes.
Hot chocolate soon.

Stuck my 20-year-old Timberlands on, grabbed the Crombie and scalf and went out for a mini yomp across the fields. Proper blizzards, but absolutely beautiful scenes and sculptures. Hot chocolate now. With marshmallows. Missus annoyed.

Continuous snowfall and stunning scenery here. My cats were initially quite suspicious to put their foot into it, but now all made up with it. They are currently eating snow and building a snowman with the next door’s evil Siamese. I don’t know why they bother with that skeletal, ugly thing. If she once shows her nasty moods to my cats, I shall kick her out of my garden.

Stopped in Warrington and the roads look to be clear. Most people left the office at lunchtime in case they got stuck. I'm driving to Edinburgh after work for a weekend of annoying the jocks

You are right about the snow in Devon though.
