Sorry to spoil your anticipation pal

its rain in Manchester and further north, temps are up to between 4 and 6C and the dewpoint is rising.

[Jackfrost]

Light snow since lunchtime, recently became heavy with good sized flakes which started to settle. Very blustery in this bitter wind.

[Summer of 76]

snowing here now, temp down to 3.3

Been up into the North Pennines today. There was a lot of snow up there, it was piled up above the car at the sides of the road. I even managed to get stuck in a drift!

If you are thinking about heading up to the hills, be prepared because the conditions can change very quickly. If you are travelling over high routes make sure you take a spade and some food supplies as there is some severe drifting taking place which can easily and quickly engulf the roads.

After several hours of odd flakes and flurries a proper heavy snow shower about 20 minutes ago of fat, thick flakes

Started to settle but has reverted to odd flakes again :lol:

Was generally unexpected!

Greater Manchester has two inches currently, my brother works there and rang me to tell me about the snow :lol: .

Euston Underpass Central London..

High Cloud Cover and Blue Skies.. but Snow Flurries :lol:

[Thundery wintry showers]

Damnit! There was a snow cover in Lancaster this morning according to the webcam- but it completely thawed between 8 and 9:30am, and I got up at 9:30, so didn't see anything...

This is reaching the stage where I think that if there was a 3 inch snow cover persisting for 3 days, it would only happen if it coincided with my having had a serious injury, having to spend those 3 days in hospital, and missing it all.

Light snow in Slough and Reading(so my girlie tells me!)

[haitch]

Light snow (big flakes) here in Benson, Oxfordshire.

Looking extremely dark.

[PB22]

Woke up to another 3cm's of snow this morning after overnight snow showers continued!

[Thundery wintry showers]

Recent wintry rain/sleet/snow mix, rather unexpected.

Mmmm, have to admit I'm slightly sceptical, but then GMR does stretch up to the Pennines, so it might depend where, or perhaps he's in Manchester New Jersey, or else perhaps he just needs to check my handy hints for measuring snow. The MCR a/p history does show snow for four hours, but the radar suggests it was very light: can't see 0.2" rain from that. Certainly NO snow on the Bolton webcam!

Had three snowy flurries throughout today, and this morning there was clearly one overnight as there was about a 0.5cm covering on all surfaces when I woke up, looked very beautiful especially when accompanied by a harsh frost.

[Tom D]

a light snow xhower @ 3:30pm, no settling, but very cold

another snow shower, just a few large flakes, nothing settling yet.

temp at mo is 1.8c and snow is getting heavier as i type - very windy too suddenly

[stratty]

light snow for about an hour now. Slight covering on grass and mud. Some really big flakes now and then. Temp now 0c, was -9c last night - brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Canal still frozen from last night and looks extra - specially picturesque with snow settling on it! :lol:

[SnowJoke]

Been snowing here since 14:30, very light and patchy with the occasional heavier burst, nothing settling though :lol:

It's actually begun snowing here in mid Devon. Temp 3.1C. Will it amount to anything? Doubt it.

[J10]

More snow here, tried to settle for a time, but now stopped, The snow was probably wet anyway.

[stuartmathers]

Woke up to a dusting of snow this morning. Snowed mainly lightly but a few moderate bursts all morning till around 1.30 then a few passing flurries this afternoon.

On the higher ground to the west of Sheffield it left another cm on top of the current lying snow and a dusting elsewhere.

Nothing has settled at home and on other lower ground.

[kennet]

Snowing in Norwich. Its hard to believe that its snowed on ten consecutive days here, sometimes lying fairly thickly, then thawing, then lying again. At the moment there's a light shower blowing on a WSW wind - just as I'd got used to the wind in the East (Mary Poppins on her way?)

[Lorraine]

just started snowing here in winchester

[kold weather]

light snow here now,is only light though sadly!

[dodge]

Had a light covering of snow overnight approx 1cm, due to a weather front coming up against very cold air. Nearly stuck all day, but on my way home it was beginning to turn into a slushy mess. Although if temps fall tonight, the untreated roads could turn into skating rinks tomorrow morning.

[Tom Quintavalle]

Few flakes in the wind here late morning.

A light flurry about half an hour ago.

This now makes 8 out of 9 days with snow falling here during this cold spell.

This is a quite remarkable total for S.E.London at the very end of Feb. in the modern day winter and is testament to the great synoptics of this current spell.

If only the prevailing wind was E/NE and not SW.

Although snowfall has been mainly light, some quite heavy snow fell during 2 Thames "streamer" events on Mon. night and Fri. morn. when winds went round to ENE, the optimum direction for decent snow here.

Regards,

Tom.
