I so need to move up the hill. Carol Kirkwood said that there is 13cm of snow in parts of High Wycombe. We have about 3cm here...
Snowing lightly still
-
Finally snowing in High Wycombe. Not settling in the valleys but it us on the hills according to my mum who just drove home from our house.Hoping it will start settling here soon...

Its tricky when you look at the weather alerts map from NW. I often wonder where Oxon, Bucks & MK is classed as. We even have e to endure BBC 3 Counties Radio which should be renamed Beds/Hearts Radio!
Now to stay on topic ....... Is that LOW going to move too fast and ruin your chances of snow?
I never know where I should be either - central?
Drizzle here making the ground nice and wet - boo! It just doesn't feel cold enough for snow here

So it's looking horribly marginal for us on Sunday. However, Sunday is my husband's birthday and last year it snowed in bucketloads on my birthday (4th Feb) so my hopes are all hanging on another birthday snow event!

friday still looks snow to rain event
these show cold to friday
warm up from then
date still showing for a cool down the 4th
fi is the 30th as a 10 degree spread
Hurrah - the 4th is my birthday and it snowed heavily last year!

It's been snowing on and off all day round south Bucks. Mostly melting on roads and cars, but the last lot has been settling on grass. Interesting how it seems to be generated from London!

After the snow last night, I also have less than I had before - a depressing morning...
I hate it when it has to end - I've been really snappy this morning and I realised it's all snow related. I need to get a grip!

Found this online
Diamond dust occurs when there is a winter temperature inversion -- with the air coldest near the ground and a warmer, moister layer of air lying over it. The diamond dust forms when the warmer air blends with the colder, and the moisture it contains condenses out in the colder air, freezing into tiny motes of ice. These fine motes drift and sparkle, and eventually settle out, making them a type of precipitation as well as mist.
Wow thank you! I've never seen it before and so glad I have now! What a week!
-
If you look closely you can see tiny individual snowflakes in the glitter - like little stars - have no idea why this has happened and have never seen it before. Maybe because it was powder snow that fell in the daytime?
I love it! It's beautiful - just wish my children were awake to see it - or on second thoughts...
-
blowing about in the breeze maybe off roofs and trees
Only a thought probably not that mate
Lol
Good idea but not really any breeze here at the moment.
We get that a lot here when the air is cold and the air particles almost freeze and look like glitter in the air, even with a blue sky. Not sure of the scientific reason but I thought it was moisture in the air freezing
Oh ok - that sounds plausible. It looks amazing but slightly concerning for the school run tomorrow!
-
Ok, so it's been snowing here all day - very light mostly so not much accumulation. Now the radar is clear and I can see stars overhead, but under my lamp post it looks like someone is pouring glitter down very lightly. Doesn't look like snow under the lamp post - very sparkly - any ideas??!
It has also turned the snow on the grass and cars etc sparkly!

Morning all
My snow has all gone flat over night.
Can I order more snow please, about 10-15 cm will do fine.
My snow has gone flat too - boooo! The snow penguin is holding up well though.
-
Still snowing here - has been constant since 8.30am although much lighter now.
Wish I could blow some over to those of you who haven't had any yet

Just posted these in the London and SE thread but thought I'd post here too as I'm on the borders of both
This is how it's looking in High Wycombe at the moment and it's still coming down. It was very light small flakes to start with but has really picked up in the last hour or so.

Light snow in High Wycombe!! School has decided to close so bring it on!!!!

You lucky Welsh lot! Wishing I was visiting my parents' place in Brecon at the moment...
However, I'm still in the amber area so I'm happy.
Enjoy!!

A few little flakes drifting down here - rather unexpected!

Yay - mini icicles on the play house!!

I wonder how many off us on here tell our friends we are all snow mad and spend most of are time on a weather forum lol.
I know it drives my other half mad that I'm always checking in on the net weather forum but its so addictive .
Totally! Closet snow geek here, although my husband keeps outing me at embarrassing moments at parties etc. I think it's to get his own back for all the hours I spend on here.
Having to keep my mouth shut in the playground is the funniest - other mums saying 'I hope there's no more snow coming' and I say, 'Well it seems to be forecast for Friday' in a vague, not-really-interested kind of way...

Nooooo! Rain is washing my snow away!!

Just had a light dusting of snow here in Brecon but mostly melted again. Hope we get a bit more later! It's good compensation for our freezing holiday so far!
