This forum doesn't have a facility to upload pics AFAIK, so I've put a pic of myself and 3 of my sons with a snowman we built in the field behind our house as my avatar.
Lots of snowball fighting too, with my daughter who took the pic.
First snow of the season in October! Don't know if that's a record, certainly unusual this far south - I'm sure the weather people will tell us.

Not Stevenage, by any chance?

Not quite, but not far: Hatfield. My daughter works in Stevenage. Your neck of the woods?

Tuesday eve was a bizarre experiece as I drive from Enfield to Heathrow and back most weeks. I got through a storm and a sleet blizzard on the way there, and was lashed with hail and snow on the trip back 3 hours later. All of that was complemented with Divali fireworks going off all over the place too. Nice to have some variety on an otherwise monotonous trip.

I grew up there before it was a New Town(!). My dad was coal merchant there. Now I am a Yorkshireman with a Hertfordhire accent.

I used to be a Hertfordian (real word?) with a Lancastrian accent, but apart from saying 'class', 'grass' and 'castle' rather than 'clarss', 'grarss' and 'carstle', it's all gone now.
