The snow seems to being showing no sign of stopping anytime soon, and it's causing chaos across Sheffield (and beyond).
No buses are running, the road outside my house disappeared last night and hasn't been seen since, there are people trapped in cars all over the place (the radio just said A57 at Worksop there are people who have been in their cars for 18 hours!).
Very few businesses have opened, and it's making work all but impossible due to no-one being available (or those that are in being really busy). I've done some admin, hoovered the house and been watching what is going on via the internet (twitter, facebook and BBC Sheffield).
I've been taking lots of photos, been out for a couple of walks down to Heeley. The Co-op at Heeley Green had nothing whatsoever in the way of milk or bread, but just as we were leaving the shop a big lorry arrived - I have no idea how it got there!!
The snow is not due to stop for at least the next 24 hours - how much more can there be in the sky. I'm seriously beginning to think that the Gulf Stream has switched off and no-one is telling us!
Anyway, about half and hour ago there was 14 inches on the patio, we'll see what it's like in the morning.
