Snow, snow and more snow

For the past week or so we have had snow showers most days. This is quite weird for me; I don't remember this ever happening before, though I'm sure it has happened on occasion here. In my experience in SE England we would generally get one-off days of snowfall, though the snow would sometimes hang around on the ground for a week or so. Last night I ended up driving back from near Ipswich through snow. I find it quite unnerving to drive at any speed through falling snow - unlike rain, it falls slowly enough to seem like it's flying straight towards the windscreen, and it's bright and opaque, which really limits visibility. Thankfully the A14 had little traffic (this was after midnight) and for most of the way lane 1 was clear of snow due to either gritting or warmth, but for a time I was worried we would have a very slow and so time-consuming journey.
