Default [OBS] Fleet, Hampshire - 8.75 inches snow

Between 8.5 and 9 inches of snow depending on where I measure it. Still
snowing.

My bamboo plant has collapsed and my parasol snapped in the middle of the
night dumping all the snow that was on it against my lounge patio doors
where it is now 2ft deep!

Not sure whether to walk or drive to work (about 2 miles) I do have 4 wheel
drive but only 6.5 inches of ground clearance. Also it maybe much deeper
later...

Walk. Even in 6" of snow it shouldn't take you more than 45 mins. I
assume you have decent footwear (wellies minimum), thick sock, fleece
or jumpers, windproof coat and hat.
