Snowyish scenes, as seen from the Guardian Unlimited office.

Well, no white Christmas, for which the bookies will be grateful, but I travelled to work today in a whirling snowstorm and the mounting expectation that we'd be snowed in for days and organising staff snowball fights. Five minutes later, the snow stopped, the sun came out and we're left with the very lightest of light snow dustings on the rooftops opposite our office (which you can just about see in the photograph above). Eastern areas of England have seen heavier snowfalls, with 8 or 10cm expected in Kent and Norfolk. Here at Guardian Towers we'd like to see your snow pix, wherever you are. Please email them to newsblogpicture@gmail.com with a brief explanation of where you took the photograph, and we'll publish the best ones.
If you don't live in England, you may also wish to use this opportunity to poke fun at the inevitable transport chaos that any significant snowfalls bring to this part of the country/world. We're particularly keen to hear from anyone in the snowy reaches of northern Canada, with details of how life there is continuing as normal despite the 3m snowdrifts and -30C temperatures.
STOP PRESS: Bobby Tibbles has emailed me this photograph from Ottawa, where they know how to do snow properly.
Bobby writes: Since moving to Ottawa, Canada, from the UK we have snow falls like this every year. So come on you good old BRITS stop moaning about 2cm of snow. You should try -25 and 2ft of snow at a time. Photograph: Bobby Tibbles
Hear hear. The half inch of snow has melted here in Clerkenwell, so we're pretty optimistic we should be able to make it home later on.
We're adding to our gallery of your photographs, which you can view here.
