    None of the above should be taken seriously, and certainly not personally.

    If I woke on a Sunday morning to 2 foot of snow and by Monday morning it had cleared and the roads were dry...I would love snow.

    Whether it is true or false, I am quite happy to be doing jury duty today rather than Bikeability today in Whetstone. Today does not look like a pleasant day to be hanging around on street corners with 9 & 10 year olds.

    Oh yes I love snow, the MTB is more than capable of coping with snowy/icy roads. see 8600466348_8a67b1ce14_z.jpg

    I know its usual form to go off topic asap but the question isnt do you like snow, it's has it snowed yet?

    where you are would help as well :roll:

    Westminster - no snow
    Finchley - snow (5 minute flurry - not settled)
    High Barnet - see Finchley.

    I thought the whole point of this thread was the current weather, where you are.

    Get with the programme.

    Indeed, I'm just really glad it's not -31. I'm trying to cheer people up by telling them it could be a fookin' site worse than it is.
