5 inches, so far, on the nose. Incredible stuff.

What about the rest of your face?

The snow keeps coming for a while yet according to hirlam which has been pretty accurate so far

Dartmoor certainly bearing the brunt of it, and 15cms quite widely by Saturday morning.

I think everyone will agree with me when I say let's see your pics

So the lowest March max temp in England is - 3.3, looks like a few places have broken it

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 22/02/2018 Onwards]

What's the lowest max people recorded today?

Hey guys, I think it's snowing! 

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 22/02/2018 Onwards]

Was surprised to see a patchy covering of snow, but looking at the MO forecast looks like a massive downgrade for it to show a couple hours of light snow as apposed to the 20 odd hours it was showing yesterday.

Hello.

Possibly this. Time stamp early hours of this morning and is positioned where Bristol is. A starter for your main course.

This is forecast radar. The Red is snow and is moving roughly Westwards.

I'm guessing that forecast doesn't take into to account the fact that they are dying out? 

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 22/02/2018 Onwards]

Hopefully they allow Fergie more than 30 seconds to give a forecast for the most disruptive snow in years.

Snowy subtropical garden!

Looking serious in scotland:

Snow showers already affecting the area will become heavier and more prolonged later on Wednesday afternoon and at times through the evening and overnight period, with 5 cm of snow falling within an hour in some places and lying snow reaching 20-30 cm and possibly 40 cm in a few places by mid morning on Thursday. Strong easterly winds will lead to significant drifting of lying snow.

Scilly snow, a rare sight indeed http://www.tresco.co.uk/livecams/

We're still colder than the southern tip of Greenland then. LOL. Would be interested to see the 850's between T+48 and T+72. They 0ºC iso 850 must cross into the southern counties for a short period

I may still get to use some more of my salt!

So much ECM data on this site! 

https://weather.us/model-charts/euro/great-britain/temperature-850hpa/20180302-0000z.html

0c 850 isotherm just north of the M4 at northernmost extent, resulting in freezing rain early Friday morning in the west country and Hampshire, before several hours of snow.

Here is the archived precip total for that day

Must have ben unlucky to not get anything from that, 5 years is more than long enough for no lying snow. 

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 22/02/2018 Onwards]
