At least for a mass of people in Derby anyway. The presenter's been reading the list of school closures for five minutes now, is still going and it's still not completely compiled because they're getting too many emails to go through them quickly.
How is it where you are? Snow, no snow, just a dusting of snow? Is it closing anything for you, or is it business as usual?
For the Brits on the Board: Britain faces another 10 inches of snow as grit supplies run low

Clearly actually getting up in the morning has something going for it, for as I stared at the morning's emails and worked my way through the first pint-and-a-half of tea of the day, it started snowing. And it's only just stopped. And there's loads. It's ace.

I'd give you some of ours if I could. Really. Snow loses its charm when you have to climb over it and through to get to the bus. ^^;

I'm in New Zealand, of course. That makes a difference. The weatherpeople are forecasting 29C for Sunday. Excuse me while I wail in horror.

Had a load of snow at the beginning of the week - over a foot, I think. And because Dad promised, we had a barbecue in said >foot of snow. It was awesome. :D

Wisconsin has been dumped upon since November, and though we haven't had any significant new accumulation in a while, there's still a lot on the ground. It gets slightly slushy in the sun sometimes, and then becomes ice. This makes walking to class rather... interesting.
We rarely have off of class here. When there is a lot of snow, the university says "Well, most students walk to class, so we won't cancel anything." When there's no snow, but windchills in double digits below zero, the university says, "Well, most students drive to class, so we won't cancel anything." We have no luck. -

None at all in sunny Jersey (that's the Channel Island), although we did have some earlier this week. It'd all bally melted before lunchtime. On the plus side, we did manage to get a snowball fight out of it.

Washington State is snow free, fortunately. I have to get to Seattle tonight and I hate taking the bus in the snow. And yesterday, amazingly, it actually felt a little like spring!

Inch or two fell on Sunday night, all turned to slush on Monday, then it rained. Ever since, the weatherman's been promising snow that has yet to turn up.
My brother-in-law had marvellous fun with the snow in Cornwall earlier in the week. There was no point in him driving to work, because down there everyone abandons their cars, often in the middle of the road, at the merest hint of snow. So he walked to work - three miles up and down hills, with no pavements, although fortunately no-one daring to drive either. I'm jealous.
Ansela, stop hogging the snow! Send some north! -

Have as much of the bloody stuff as you can take, Pads. I don't want it, that's for sure. Ice rinks for roads and pavements may sound fun, but when you actually have to use them it's not so appealing.

After all, it's not like I ever have to leave the house. Unless you count going to uni twice a week and the pub rather more often than that.

We had a lot of snow in January (in New York), but a warm spell last week melted most of it.
Even when we got a foot, I didn't get classes canceled. We're a small and 99% residential campus, so we can always get to class. We only get things canceled if the professors can't get here.
You lucky people with snow. -

The fact that I am online at this time should show that there is no snow day. School computers FTW...

There's a whole load in Oxford too. Not sure how much, but much more than we had at the beginning of the week. I might have to go and take pictures later. Uni won't have closed though.
