Blizzard like here. Some surfaces such as grass, roofs, cars are covered.

Just heavy rain here.

Merry Christmas everyone! Another snow event lining up for many of us early Wednesday. It's looking rain to snow for me. I'm hoping it tracks slightly further south to squeeze in more hours of snow.

It's been 10 hours since it started snowing and it still is, very lightly. Measured 16cm on my car. 48 hours ago, we probably went from <5cm to this so no complaints at all.
We have forecast for more snow showers in to the evening so we may end up with a higher accumulation figure.
Loved the view of Blenheim Palace and the bridge in the snow and lake has almost frozen:

Snow here then turned to sleet now back to moderate snow and settling again!
It's blustery and coming down fast. I think we are done with the period of rain/sleet

Hi Beasterly! Good to see a few of us in here. Further north of Oxfordshire certainly, closer to here and further south a mix of rain/sleet/snow. But general feeling is a more sleet/snow mix here now.
Finally back on the forum after disappointing winters last few years and good to see you're still hanging around!
Setting my alarm to 6am hoping rain/sleet would have turned to snow by then!

Just 1 mile East of the City Centre. I have been told by people before i am South Midlands/SE England/Southern England. This thread is about right as i consider to be Central Southern England. lol
I'm sure we can get away posting in either of them!
Do you think it will be an all snow event for us north of Oxford?

After Cyclone Helen, it's time for Lehar storm to hit AP?
Hyderabad: Even before the impact of the severe cyclonic storm Helen could be analysed, another depression, now situated 450 km south-east of Port Blair, is likely to develop and intensify into a severe cyclonic storm by November 27 midnight or November 28 morning.
If it does intensify into a severe cyclonic storm, it will be named “Leharâ€, officials at the Meteorological Department informed.
On the Asian circuit, it was India’s turn to name the cyclone from the list of assigned names.
Phailin was named by Thailand and Helen by Bangladesh.
“This depression is also very likely to intensify into a cyclonic storm. According to our preliminary report it will have the same impact as Helen and will affect the Kakinada coast,†informed S.V.S.S. Ramakrishna, head of department, Department of Meteorology and Oceanology, Andhra University.
“November is the peak month for tropical cyclones and the situation is very favourable for the formation of systems,†he said.
M. Narsimha Rao, assistant meteorologist at the Meteorological Centre, Hyderabad said that compared to the Arabian Sea, the frequency of the formation of systems is more in the Bay of Bengal.
“October to December is post monsoon period which is also one of the reasons,†he said.

Cyclone Helen makes landfall on India's east coast
A cyclone has made landfall on India's east coast with winds of up to 90km/h (55mph) and heavy rain, the country's meteorological department has said.
Thousands of people were evacuated from coastal areas in advance of the storm. So far there have been no immediate reports of any casualties.
Cyclone Helen is expected to trigger storm surges of up to 1.5m (5ft).
At least 27 people died when a stronger cyclone, Phailin, hit India's eastern coast last month.
The meteorological department has classed Cyclone Helen as "severe" and has warned of "extensive damage to thatched roofs and huts".
It says there will be "minor damage to power and communication lines due to uprooting of large trees" in the state of Andhra Pradesh.
Twenty rescue teams had been deployed in the flood zone, a spokeswoman for the National Disaster Management Agency, Tripti Parule, told the AFP news agency.
"Evacuations of thousands has already taken place and provision for food, water and shelter are also on track," she said, adding that the aim was for "zero casualties".
Last month Cyclone Phailin destroyed tens of thousands of homes, uprooted trees and blocked roads in the states of Orissa and Andhra Pradesh.
Hundreds of thousands of people were evacuated ahead of Phailin, which was classified as a "very severe" cyclone.
