Walked out of the house straight into knee high snow. I did make it to work, before all the public transport in Sheffield stopped but it was an interesting day.

We have had 13cm of snow where I live, and 6cm in the low-lying area where I work. (Yes, I am anal enough to use my tape measure to check the depth of snow!)
