After snowing continuously (I think) from 17:00 yesterday to 17:00 today we
have 11 inches of level snow here. It varies around the town from between
9 to 11 inches but I seem to live in the worst spot.

I was on 4WD duty picking up and dropping people off. I was ok until I got
to my driveway this evening where the snow seems to have gathered up to
about 13 inches and the car bottomed out.

I had to dig it out and have now cleared the whole driveway and put the car
in the garage. There are mounds of snow 4ft high each side of my drive.
It's going to take a while for those to melt!

Similar scene up the road in Yateley, Brian, although an inch or so
less depth - the snow here didn't start till 6pm and ended around
4.30pm. Level depth on next door's undisturbed driveway outside was
24cm; up on Yateley Common there was easily a foot in places. Dug the
car out this evening and will try to make it to the station tomorrow!

This was the scene at Wyndham's Pool this morning - snow settled 6in
deep on the frozen parts of the lake, and on the unfrozen parts formed
a thick layer of slush: http://i49.tinypic.com/293jzma.png

Moderate snow during the afternoon brought the snow depth up to 24 cm by
16.00 here in Farnborough (Hants). Stopped snowing about an hour later.
