Not around the South West but we've had severe storms (well Bristol has had the tail end but Wales has really suffered):

Oh I adore those snow flakes! Only bit of snow I've seen so far this winter. Buxton was snowed in the day before I was at uni. I missed the 3 foot deep floods last saturday etc etc etc.

Who the hell is in charge eh?

We have had snow on the ground here in New England for the past 2 weeks. Got off to an early start this year.
