Not one flake here either.

This is so frustrating - now I can actually SEE the snow falling in the far distance from our elevated spot! However the clouds from the SW are getting closer and closer so fingers crossed. Currently 3.8oC.
-
Clear and very cold in Malvern! Just 1.8oC. No sign of any white stuff, very envious of you further north.
-
It's cleared through here now, patches of blue sky showing. Think that's the last of whatever it was.
-
huge wet snowflakes falling here. Wind's gone right round from a near southerly to a northerly. Wish it was sticking!
-
Snowing! Blowing a gale and of course not settling but yay!

Squally shower coming through at the moment but it's only rain. 7.7oC currently.
-
A cool, partly sunny, later cloudy day here, but feeling rather hopeful of a sprinkling of snow tomorrow! Will be the first here this year if it happens.
-
Very disappointing winter here as well, no snow on the Malverns at all! Today's been reasonable, cold, sunny and calm, quite nice to sit out in if you're wearing enough layers.
-
It's very blowy out, currently 5.7oC, but not too much in the way of rain at the moment, although it looks pretty dark out towards the West.

Just been outside and saw 2 flashes to the SW- in a starry sky. Looked at the lightning detector and there are strikes in Pembrokeshire- that's 100 miles away. Can I really see them?
I think that was MIA spontaneously combusting.

And it's gone! That was short and sweet.

Yes I'd say we're right under it here - it's pelting down.
-
Couple of claps of thunder here, raining hard. Temp 7.8oC
-
No snow whatsoever here. Currently foggy and damp, 2.5oC. I was good with the sunny, frosty days but please no more murk!
-
Unsurprisingly not one flake here. Hard frost though. Currently 1.2oC, coldest night this winter.
-
Dry as a bone here, but not unexpected. Any showers look a long way from us so I'm off to bed. If it snows here, I'll catch it when I get up! Good luck everyone!
-
2.8oC here at the mo, dew point is -1.5oC. Clear skies, stars are out, quite windy.
The Cheshire Gap is going to have to work overtime to get snow showers down this far, but I'll keep my fingers crossed.
-
Raining here, 3.9oC, dewpoint is 1.1oC. Not even the faintest sign of sleetiness.

Hello all, been a while since I last posted. Hope you are well. Maybe a little sleetiness possible tonight, i.e shropshire hills, Malvern Hills, Black Mountains and Brecons, maybe even higher parts of the Black Country.
Us lot in the Midlands could be in one of the best places this week for some more organised snowfall this week, or rain... at least here in the southern half of the UK. Going to be more ups and downs in the models this coming week. Been exhausting to watch so far!
Still, I have not seen any proper snow for about 3 years now. Had a brief snow shower back in that brief November cold shot and a short snow shower in Cornwall last winter. Didn't really get to see the goods of March 2013 either, or Jan 2013 for that matter having been residing in the land of the woodshed and daffodills. Saying that, our daffodills are currently shooting through the ground well here!
No sleet overnight where I am on the Malverns. In fact it's sat at a stubborn 4.1oC all night, and now there's a light fog.
I'd love to see some white stuff - Facebook insisted on reminding me of a very snowy day some 6 years ago - 6th January 2010 - when we had several inches of snow, and it has indeed been a long time since anything significant here. We missed out last winter. I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much! However the far brighter days recently have been a welcome relief - but we've yet to see a frost this winter.

This has to be a most tiresome winter. I like cold, frosty, bright winters but this has been a gloomy, wet damp-fest for the most part here. And now the inevitable flood warnings are springing up on the River Severn as all that rain over North Wales starts to make its way down the river. Even going for a walk on the Malverns, the ground is water-logged and boggy on the paths.

Thanks for the tag!
One of my most memorable and favourite recollections is the first winter I spent in the UK back in December 1978, I was living in London and we had snow just before Christmas followed by a prolonged cold spell, topped off by a heavy fall on 31 December, Kensington Gardens was thick with snow. It was magical for an Australian who'd never experienced it before:

Tipping it down here! Very heavy rain. Mild though, 11.1 C
-
I don't think we had any snow here at any point during the night, if we did it must have been only a sprinkling and melted again. It's just damp outside with a howling gale. Temp currently 3.7oC, dewpoint -0.6.
