Just rain here, and lots of it...
Quite a rainy week coming up. Least it will fill my new water butt!

Nope. I just don't like hot weather. It makes me feel quite sick and ill.
Fair enough I'd suggest?
Seconded, although a couple of days is always fun. Nothing worse of endless 28c plus days and high humidity. At least you can warm the house in the winter. Give me sunshine and 23-25c!

On my way to work in Central London from SW London. Looks like a general 1-2cm cover. As I said yesterday, a very poor return compared to just about every other region in the UK. Just goes to show how unlikely we have been with this mini-beast.
6cm here in the NW, but agree we have not done as well as further north. Still pretty good for the time of year though.
GFS sticks with the wintry Easter, ECM suggesting something a bit more spring like. Wouldn't mind a white Easter. But after that id really like some warmer weather!

Happy Easter
Support for another a cold spell from some of the ensembles too, one to watch.

Had an additional 2cm since late afternoon. Its all but stopped now, although further flurries over the next couple of hours seem likely. Total on the top of the bin is 6cm. Paths and road are covered, however a slow thaw is evident (ground temp as opposed to air). Shouldn't be much of a thaw elsewhere until tomorrow, although i suspect out of the sun snow will stick around until Tuesday.

I imagine that meant another cold snap at the end of the month but maybe not that spring like before then
Correct, remains around to just below average, with some suggestion of another cold snap over easter. No signs of any 'warmer weather' yet!
-
Managed 4cm here in NW London, with more in the (small) drifts. Some melt on the pavements, bit still plenty on the grass. Hoping for a cm on existing cover from this emerging 'blob'. Will spring finally arrive? Not until Easter Monday if the GFS is in anyway correct
-
Light snow throughout the day here, a little bit heavier now. I'd estimate a couple of cms on the bins.
-
I think the Met Office called this pretty well. May have underestimated the depths lower down in west Yorkshire, but most seem to have got up to 10cm which was in the warning!
-
Nothing in Sheffield City centre, although to be expected. Always interesting seeing the transition from Fulwood down. Rain / snow stopped now.
-
A thaw now in s10, albeit slow. Still coming down lightly. A nice surprise, now must make it to Leeds... trains appears fine at least
-
A covering in s10, reckon it will melt pretty quickly though

Light snow/ snizzle blowing in the breeze currently - drifting lying snow a bit as well. A very decent 3cm top up this afternoon on the 5-6cm already on the ground from Wednesdays snow so around 7-9cm on the ground currently expecting it to melt quite rapidly into tomorrow though. Despite being not far from inner North London - Finchley and the higher North London suburbs, Harrow, Hampstead, Barnet into Hertfordshire etc... seem to do quite well for snow as we had 4-5 inches of wet snow back in December when Central and South London saw no more than a dusting. Think this is our lot for significant snow this winter though. Looking forward to the first Spring warmth, BBQ and beers in the garden kind of weather now haha!
That's why I love this countries weather so much. So much variability! I too am looking forward to Spring. Only 4 weeks and we'll be looking for our first 20c. Focus will then turn to summer storms before the madness returns in December. Only 9 months

All but stoppd now. I think that's our lot in NW London. I don't expect a thaw to kick in until tomorrow morning, so will have a good few hours to enjoy the last of it!
-
Yes seems to be strengthening a little across north London. Small grains but coming down relatively heavy. Certainly got more than a couple of cms now. Not sure how long it will last
-
Last bit of snow pushing through before it all clears. I wouldn't expect a thaw to kick in until tomorrow morning. In any case it was fun while it lasted. Not amazing (at least in NW London) but will still be memorable.

Stopping NW London. Can see another hour of light snow before it finally clears away. Was good while it lasted - I think i'll have managed 2cm which isn't bad.
-
Is anyone on the Llŷn peninsula? Looks to be crazy totals and still going strong!
-
Light snow now - radar is patchy between moderate / heavy and very light. Unluckily i can't seem to hit a moderate pulse. Still, the radar suggests a couple of hours before it clears so a cm or two is still likely.
-
Back to moderate snow - greens all around me though. Just can't seem to escape the blues!
-
Back to light snow here. Looking very good for those north of the M25!

heavy snow now here
Yes, still moderate here (never sure what the distinction between heavy and moderate snow is, but it is closer to the former). Seems to strengthening as it moves north, so I reckon it will stay in the moderate to light category here.

Moderate snow in Harrow. Should go back to light snow soon. Radar suggests a cm or two for this area.

Yep - defo no rain here. In any case i would expect you to see snow as the heavier stuff starts to push north.
