Please post your reports here

[Tim]

Yesterdays report thread is locked, but the same as Andy I had about 2/3 cm at dawn, noticed it snowing at 2:00 AM but went to bed. Higher up at Bristol Airport at 8:00 PM Saturday it was sleeting obviously it must have turned to snow much quicker there at 650 ft above sea level

[Osbourne One-Nil]

Snowing here lightly and settling instantly (-0.9c)

[pyrogaz]

Light snow here and settling

[Stratos Ferric]

Somewhat unexpected rogue shower here at Stratos Towers: more graupel than snow, though hard to tell in the strong wind. We shall see what the main band brings in a couple of hours, though I expect it will have warmed up slightly by then.

Snowing lightly here, but the temperature is -0.3ºC and rising, so I don't expet it to last very long.

[Osbourne One-Nil]

Still snowing here and blowing nicely in the wind (so not settling with any depth either though) but the best thing is mrs OON is in Car-lisle and.....it's raining!!!

[Frank]

Very fine and light Snow here at moment

[Tim B]

Been snowing here in Darwen for the last few minutes.

Only lightly, the drizzle equivalent of snow.

But it is sticking to everything it touches, as there was a very hard frost here last night.

[SP1986]

snowing here too lightly

[Hywel]

Snowing quite heavy back home, nothing at all here in Deeside though, still quite cold though, but it is warming up quickly.

[SP1986]

turned back to rain now....

[barnety2000]

We had a mixture of rain/sleet/soft hail, which fell at 0c onto frosty ground. Must have been very clost to snow!

Sunny intervals now and 2c

[Hywel]

light sleet in Deeside now <_<

[barnety2000]

Sorry, forgot to mention that we had some sleet/wet snow in the heavy rain on Saturday night <_<

[falmouth]

Just had light snow in Derby. Seemed to have stuck to any surface. Shows on the rdar a little blue blob in Derbyshire

[Tim B]

Snow is getting heavier up here now.

[Thundery wintry showers]

Nothing here on Tyneside, but a glance at the Lancaster University webcams suggest that it is snowing there, albeit without settling.

[emmahicks55]

no snow here in Harlow Essex at the moment but we did have a bad frost this morning and its still pretty frosty now so maybe the snow is coming our way (well hoping so) <_<

[Tim B]

Snow continuing up here.

Here are a few pictures I have managed to take.

[It Said Sunny Intervals]

Snow here as well <_<

For about the last 15 mins, slowly starting to settle.

[Buxton Hills]

Started as rain here in crewe just to wet the ground on purpose about 20 mins ago, then to sleet, and in the last 5 mins to light snow.

Thanks Tim B for posting those. It reassures my decision to head into the hills today.

A couple of flakes in Wolverhampton

[rob-lancs]

[du_snow]

Snow settled here earlier in the morning, patchy bits left now the hills are very white still.
