White-out!
Or, is that grey-out!
Very poor visibility out there this morning. I'm not sure I'd be able to find my way around... hopefully it will improve as the day goes on.
Light snow at times on the forecast into tomorrow though the forecasts generally seem to be expecting clearer weather conditions over the coming weekend.
