  1. BBC WEATHER *UPDATE*

    Heavy Snow warning now issued on TV for Saturday across East, East Midlands and SE England, with potential across the SE of 2-5cm Saturday Daytime

    Weather forecaster : Nick Miller

  2. Well I'm certainly no expert but it looked very much like snow flakes falling to me. Even managed to make a snow ball. Some Pics.... Looked nice whatever it was.

    I cannot beleive your Pics..... I was totally against it being snow this morning and was going for a rime frost... But looking at your Pics that would pass as SNOW for me anyday.....

    It looks like about 1cm and as for the third pic, that definatley isnt grains that looks like good and proper flakes to me...

  3. It's not a hoar frost here - as mentioned, we had fairly big snow flakes for a time. Freezing fog produces rime. Not snowflakes.

    From BBC:

    No mention of snow flakes :D

    OK then you argue that with the Met office - there the ones who confirmed it was not snow with bbc breakfast....

  4. Freezing fog is composed of supercooled water droplets (i.e. ones which remain liquid even though the temperature is below freezing point). One of the characteristics of freezing fog is that rime - composed of feathery ice crystals - is deposited on the windward side of vertical surfaces such as lamp posts, fence posts, overhead wires, pylons and transmitting masts.

    Maybe alot like what has happened this morning

  5. Confirmed by Meto on TV....

    What has happend is : Snow like Fragments which is Freezing fog is falling as temps rise........ Which is causing it to reach the ground and cause a Hoare Frost......

    So excitement over : IT IS NOT SNOW........ Although its very pretty and makes a great winter scene
