Winter wonderland doesn't stop us

It's beautiful down here in sussex with snow laden South Downs and a picture opportunity around every corner.  But it's  havoc on the roads and schools are closed.  The south east is gridlock so most of the FW team has not been able to make it in to the office in Sutton, Surrey today,  

We're managing to get the news to you and pictures by working remotely.  There's a good selection of snow pictures already at http://www.fwi.co.uk/community/photos/februarysnow/default.aspx  Share your stories about the weather and pictures at fwi.space.co.uk.  The best pix may make it into the magazine too.

It looks as if London could be worse than other parts of the south east. My daughter tells me it's at least seven inches deep outside her door and the wheels of some parked cars can hardly be seen under the snow drifts. 

The weather service on our site is not right at the moment but there are people working behind the scenes right now to try to fix it so bear with us. The big challenge comes tomorrow, particularly if the weather is still this bad and we struggle to make up pages for the magazine going to press on Wednesday. Fingers crossed the snows ease off tomorrow.

Good Luck.  I'm currently in Kent and have been since last night and looks like I might be stuck here again tonight.
