[Paul]

Please post your snow or wintry precipitation reports in here, please don't post fake reports, as we will try and verify all reports and any we can't verify will be deleted!

Heres hoping there are quite a few reports in here over the coming few days

[Paul]

I know this is cheating a bit, as really I should only post when I see snow where I am but Click here to see some of the highest peaks in the UK on webcams - where you can see the first snow of this spell has fallen on the 'gorms.

an unforcast light snowishy hail shower just past by i so wasn't expecting that here in glasgow the jocks seem to be geting a fare share of snow it was on the regional news this mornin showing the first snow fall up north in the highlands

Had a lot of rain and sleet showers here in North East England. One heavy shower turned to snow around lunchtime, and it was heavy enough to cause some snow to collect around my winscreen wipers on the car. Rain after that though.

Snowfall @ Darwen Lancashire, West Pennines.

Just had some very light snowfall here in darwen, I only noticed it when I got up to go get a coffie and saw it drifting past, Its stopped now and I can see white fall streaks dropping out of nearby shower clouds that I can see.

Just thought I would let you know.

Steady but light snow now falling here: Glenurquhart. -3.3C.

It'll probably turn to sleet once the sea-air penetrates in land though. :cry:

[Jackfrost]

We just had a heavy hail shower around 10 minutes ago.There was around 4cm of it.

Light snowfall at 11am this morning, and sleet in the last shower.

An eventful day!

:mrgreen: I am green with jealousy!:mrgreen:

we have had yet another cloudy mild day here in the north west! I'm moving! :x

[Ross B]

just had a sleet shower only a light shower, if it was heavier it woulr probably have been snow

[waverider uk]

Had our first snow shower in Norwich this afternoon.It was very wet but still snow.

Reports on the radio said there was also snow showers in other parts of Norfolk including the coast :lol:

[WeatherGod]

Had several sleet & hail showers throughout the day in South Wales.

Temperatures have had a struggle although winds are much lighter!

The area of precipitation to my west finally came over (albeit only for 15 minutes, before dying out) and gave a shower of fine sleety rain! Shame it didn't come earlier in the day, as it would've snowed then, but I was lucky in a way (anywhere upwards of 1 mile east of me got nowt!)

PS Cheshire, after Merseyside, is probably the North West's least snow prone region.

[SP1986]

we have some sleety rain now!

[dave.p]

Had a sleet shower here earlier, unfortunately the main band of rain,sleet and snow is 2 the north of me,

[Darren Bown]

Its been very VERY lightly snowing for about the past hour here where I am, also, noticed on Metcheck, warnings of snow in N Ireland, Scotland and, get this the WEST!!!

[Tim B]

Am I the only person who hasnt seen any today :cry: :cry:

[Darren Bown]

Dont worry Tim, the stuff here, is so light, it could be very fine rain, it just seemed to float down, but rain can do that!!!

[Tim B]

Thats what it was doing earlier here, It looked more like rain to me with maybee snow mixed in but it was that difficult to see that I didnt think anything of it.

[Methuselah]

All yesterday's snow and slush has now turned in sugar frosties.

2 days with snowcover already! :shock:

[Osborne One-Nil]

It's snowing here in Cumbria's Eden Valley. Thick fog this morning has lifted to very low, grey murk, and from it is falling proper light flakes of snow, settling instantly as it's still -1.5. Strange really, as we're on the western edge of the Pennines....perhaps it's just falling from the thick fog, like drizzle would if it was raining?

[SP1986]

some sleety rain here -can see the melting ice as the rain drops make contact with the ground feels rather cold at 3°C - temperature has dropped.

[Tim B]

Looks like it may have snowed here earlier, But I'm game for being a lazy ba***rd and didnt get up early enough to see anything.

[cold snap]

what a night we just had in dubiln,thuuder,rain,hail and yes we had a little snow, it didnt settle.raining at the moment very cold 8 degrees.northerly wind.

[Tim]

I'm hopeing for this afternoon. Much colder than I expected it to be at the moment only 4 degrees C, maybe i'll see some sleet or wet snow from the area of precipitation moving in. Will be good cos these conditions are extremely rare in this part of the country for this time of the year. I expect i'll be able to see the tops of the welsh mountains snow covered tomorrow even if nothing happens here anyway
