It has been snowing here on and off for a few hours but has just started to stick. Radar shows more coming down through Cheshire gap, could have a wintry scene to look at tomorrow.

I think everyone forgot the rules of driving in snow this morning. Don't just clear your bleeding windscreen, clear your lights, roof and bonnet too, you morons.

Probably because snow is so rare now in the modern era, winters got warmer gradually over last 17-18 years, this would be nothing in the 90's, cold spells are less frequent, less potent and shorter, typical example today where I live full thaw without the Atlantic returning

sigh, back to normal and dreading 2 days of heavy rain on Sun and Mon, another typical modern winter

SCC lists 56 schools as shut today - though, some may have opened in the afternoon as the conditions eased.

Who knows? Just repeating what was suggested earlier...

There were 47 shut in Stoke - I imagine that you add the two numbers together for the whole of the actual county, perhaps. I presume that Stoke, as a unitary authority, has a separate bureaucracy for its schools..?

Radio Stoke was announcing on Friday morning that some schools around the area may reopen for the afternoon! I'd be well impressed if I was a parent of a kid that couldnt go to school in the morning because it was closed & then found out I had to get them there for a couple of hours on the Friday afternoon. I wonder how many actually opened (I'm sure the teachers would have preferred a snow day) & whether any parents that didn't get their kids to school will be fined for non-attendance.

There will be kids at those schools whose parents grew up in places like Estonia - I wonder what they think?

Well, what a surprise, back up to 9°, the cold spell was so typical of the modern era, no more snow now this month, wouldn't be surprised, real winters have gone
