Absolutely fantantic for you guys down in the southeast, its not very often an event like this happens and you seem to be getting the brunt of it atm. Enjoy it while it lasts and keep them pics coming .Up in the midlands ive only have a dusting so far, ive been craving for the sort of snow your getting now for the last 8 years, i may have to wait a few days for my dumping or maybe another year but im glad that alot of the longtime posters and residents in the southeast on this forum especially steve murr who have been great contributers to the forums for the last few years are finally getting rewarded for there contribrutions.

light snow falling here, very small flakes though

just wanna make sure my punt for 3.5 is on the next list as it was missing from the last

Just thought id post a couple of pics from today and the award for the best snowmen of year goes to

I thought it would of died down by now but its still going , must of had another cm or so in the last hour or two.

Yep, been a wonderful day here has'nt it. Pretty much non stop snow since 5.00am this morning. Most of the snow depth came from the heavier stuff this morning and although we have had snow all day it has'nt added a great deal to the depth of snow. Goin be a cold one tonight.

yep, stopped there for a while starting to get going again now, im off for a walk up the town. Enjoy your snow everyone B)

are you sure snowing here, hinckley aint that big

some light snow blowing in the wind here

Its funny how the midlands was supposed to get the worst of it now it might not even reach here, good for those further south though who were expecting rain

Watching the latest news forecast the snow risk seems to have shifted further south than earlier forecast, any more knowledgeable people car to comment on how far north the snow is expected to travel, im started to think it might not reach here at this rate.

Well the models have predicted all kinds of scenarios the past couple of days, except the NW server crash, came at the perfect time

3.5C , just for fun

The cold spell certainly exceeded my expections, although the cold spell cant be classed a severe, its certainly been the best in terms of snowfall in the last 6 years for my location (people say we had a thundersnow event in 2004 but cant remember that, must of been asleep ) Even though the last couple of winters have produced fairly potent easterlies and northerlies they have'nt delivered as much snow as we had tuesday night-wednesday morning, i rank this cold spell better than any of these spells. Quite something considering the dire winter we have had so far. Its great having snow fall constantly for 4-5 hours, we normally get showers here and there, really enjoyed it.

A 20 minute shower leaving a dusting on the ground about 2.00am.

Just for fun id say 6.5

Well im in the same boat as everyone else it seems. Plenty of snow but it has failed to stick. Started snowing about 7.00am this morning continued till about 1.00pm and then turned sleety now its raining lightly. Just a shame that it was'nt a couple of degrees colder id expect there'd be a good few inches for many if the snow would of stuck. Im not complaining though falling snow is better than nothing. Strangely ive not had a good few inches of snow since 2000/2001 when i managed 5/6 inches in late december. The cold spells the last couple of years have been either cold enough for snow to stick but theres been little snow so no more than a dusting or theres been hours worth of snow but its not quite cold enough to let it stick.

Snow here aswell. Only small flakes but coming down well. Settling on the cars, fences and grass.

Well i can take heart from reading through here that alot of people have had snow but it has'nt stuck so im not the only one thats had this . Abit of drizzle early this morning which turned to sleet and then full on snow from 11:00am to 1:30pm heavy at times and just when it started to thin out it pept up again ocastionally. Not bad shame it did'nt stick.

light snow shower lasted about 5 mins at 3.35pm

a very short snow/sleet shower lasting about 2mins about 6pm

woke up this morning at 8:00.am to light snow which had settled in places very patchy. snow showers continued to about 11:00 am quite light in nature but with some heavier outbursts with one really heavy shower for 10 minutes about 10:30am (the heaviest snow shower all winter). 11:00 am till now some light hail in the early afternoon currently dry and cold.

30mins of light snow here and counting lasted 2 and a half hours in total got heavier at times but only left a dusting

so far today a few light flurrys and a couple of heavier showers with big flakes

had on and off snow showers all night mainly light throughout the period of 1-3am and got quite heavy at times with some nice falls at times early this morning. strangley no vast accumulations despite the constant showers. probally 1cm max.
