Just had a 10 minute snow flurry in Cockfosters, North London. Not settling though. BBC website still has us our weather down as "sunny".

Just back from my holidays at Nenthead, Cumbrian, in the North Pennines (1500 ft above sea leve), so a good few days of snow reports follow: Tue 21st Dec: 3cm snow lying when we arrived. B) Fri 24th Dec: snow flurries early evening, dusting of snow by midnight Sat 25th Dec: 5cm covering of powder snow. Beautiful walk in the snow on Christmas Day , our road was so iced up the relatives couldn't get up it in their car and we had to carry their presents 300 yards up the hill. Make a great story for them back in London... Sun 26th Dec: snow covering persists. Sledging with the kids. My 2-year old doesn't know what to make of it. Mon 27th Dec: snow beginning to melt, all gone by nightfall. Tue 28th Dec: fresh snow falling , dusting above 1800ft. Very icy 10 mile drive to Allendale, road like a skating rink as good old Northumberland council didn't grit it. Snow still falling as we set off back home to London. Great holiday.

Belated 20 Nov post, but 3cm of snow on top of the Malvern Hills, Worcestershire, on Saturday morning.

Brief snow flurry around 2pm in Southgate, North London, Didn't settle at all.

Weather report from Cockfosters, North London. Abandon hope all you rush-hour commuters. Leave your cars in the streets, walk home, several of you will sadly get very ill as a result, because its snowmageddon out there. Nearly an inch of snow now, in just 15 minutes.

Started snowing on the coast between Sunderland and South Shields at 7pm.

Just spent a delightful day painting in Nenthead, Cumbria, (1500ft above sea level). It snowed on and off from around noon until I left at 3pm. By then around an inch on the ground, though none 4 miles north in Alston. It seems very patchy. None at all in the Tyne Valley or down on the coast between Sunderland and South Shields.
