I spoke to soon. (can't find previous post where i said showers looking better over the sea). As soon as I posted that it stopped snowing.
In the meantime I've been outside to clear the van if snow as I have to go out later. Of course I took a quick measure before doing so, pic below
Roughly 22cm or around the 9 inch mark in old money. Luverlee
Showers off the coast seem to be prepping up a little and coming from a more easterly direction. Fingers crossed we can eek as much snow out of this as possible
Wow! It didn't stop snowing completely all day yesterday and is going again this morning. Added some pics to show the difference overnight. First was yesterday afternoon around 4pm second is just now before I got back in bed! Been a very long time since I last saw this much. It was up to 10cm as of yesterday afternoon and there's definitely a food few cm more on top. The wind helped smooth it all out last night but it just keeps coming down, even if it is light.
Up to around 8cm so far on my patio where it didn't even start to settle until there was a covering on the grass. Still snowing moderately so for my location I'd say the met office have been pretty spot on. Will measure again when it stops if the kids haven't used it for a snowman!
Excellent covering so far and it's still snowing! Will get out and measure the depth at some point. Currently inside warming up after sledging on Rushmere Heath.
Hoping the snow reaches my family down in Bognor Regis and Pagham
Having spent much of the night dreaming that it was raining and being completely gutted I was not surprised to see a lack of snow when I peaked through the curtains. I checked the radar and it must not have updated so I feared the worst so headed straight on here to get the lowdown!
Light snow here and radar is looking better now it's updated so time for a nice cuppa and watch it all unfold. I don't need this stress first thing in the morning!
Rain is hammering down here atm. Think I'll stay inside today.
Met Orifice app has pushed the transition to snow back from midnight to 2am for here. Our lamposts go off around midnight so I'm hoping the flakes will be large enough to set the outside light off so I can see what's going on .
Ps, I won't believe it's happening until I see it with my own eyes!
The Met have put me in warning area (only just) from Saturday to Monday. Hopefully just the start and the cold and snow spreads to more of the region. Fingers crossed we all get snowed in.
We've had two flurries so far, both lasting about ten seconds. Hopefully the main band gets this far north and east, stalls, pivots, stalls again and buries me in snow.
Wow what a let down. Precipitation just fizzled away the closer it got to Ipswich. All we had was 30 seconds of ice pellets and then very very light snow for a few mins. I didn't have high hopes but thought it would be a little better than that. Oh well.
Light snow here in kesgrave, east side of Ipswich for about 5 mins. Last night's hard frost has melted away. No rain here, straight to snow. Hoping it gets heavier soon
Lovely frosty and foggy morning here. Took the kids for a pre home schooling walk on Rushmere Heath golf course so they could smash the ice on the pond. Still no snow unfortunately but frost and ice can still be fun.
