Aberdeen got its first proper snow overnight. There is 3cm lying.

As I speak, we are having another prolonged snow shower.

Finally, the cold snap has hit Aberdeen.

[Blizz]

Looks to be snowing nicely now in Aberdeen. Around -2C there apparently and looks to be a cm or two that has settled at the moment.

Got there before me Kincorth!

Yeah best fall of snow this winter from 5am and is still currently falling - moderate snow - probably 2/3" here.

An easterly has finally delivered! ...even though there's no wind!

Just tested the snow, and it's powder snow!

hi all.......I've got about 5.5- 6 inches of laying snow here at the wash with small amounts falling pretty much all the time will have pics later of the past 2 days snow fall soon...I dont know if im right or not but im fairly sure that we had freezing fog here in lincs, i went walking and when i got back i had a fine frost over my hat!!!!!!!!!

[Thundery wintry showers]

A few snow flurries last night in Cleadon, Tyne & Wear, although most of the showers that made landfall passed away to the south.

[ribster]

Well, looks like we have around 4 inches total now, maybe more (taking into account what was already there), definitely more than I have seen in quite some time. We had quite a dumping overnight it seems.

Its a winter wonderland in the North East, glorious sunchine, freezing cold, loads of snow, shame it will only be here a couple of days.

Amazing snowy pics guys! I've been showing my kids who are desperate for snow and can't believe them! Here in Swindon looking out the window looks dry and clear, however step outside and it's between 0- and -1c with no frost at all.

I'm watching the mild front pushing in from the west and wondering if as it hits this cold air whether any snow is forming?............it's our only chance!

[Drew]

I can report snow showers for the 27th all day on and off but nothing substantial (about 1 cm lying)

Twi showeres yesterday - again pathetic but pretty to watch..

I'm hoping for something more substantial tonight tomorrow as the front passes over me.. keeping fingers crossed..

[Shiny_Bottom_1]

Very Strange here at the moment. The fog has come down in the last couple of hours. Have just been outside, and some definate fine spots of snow were falling. Very minute, but still definitive.

[londonsnow]

light snow flurries in kensington west london for the last 30 minutes or so. not exactly clear where this came from but you just never know with snow

[Rollo]

It is still -4.2c here after overnight low of -10.1,bright sunshine but about 1 mile down the road all the trees are covered in a thick rime from some freezing fog.

[Guest Viking141]

Heavy shower of sleet/hail here in Shetand.

Current temp 2.9C

[mackerel sky]

We seem to have light snow grains falling or snizzle whatever you want to call it. -1.8C. Still got about an inch of very icy snow on the ground, mostly from tuesday afternoon's snow.

[kincorth01]

Another snow shower in Aberdeen just now as well as a hail/sleet shower earlier on.

There is now about 4-5cm lying. And not a sign of a council gritter to be seen anywhere.

[A Gower Guy]

Snowing now here as the rain band hits the cold air, flakes are trying to settle too. Enjoying the snow falling before it turns to rain

[Jackfrost]

After a freezing cold night (-8C) the frost has only melted from some surfaces. Bitterly cold right now, -1C. First flakes are falling and snow is slowly getting heavier.

[bennytes]

Just started snowing lightly here!

Edit 3.02 pm- Getting steadily heavier and heavier! gone VERY gloomy as well!

Just had a light snow shower here in Shetland. Nothing lying though.

[Mark]

Light snow just started falling here. Fingers crossed that is turns into more.

Was only expecting rain so a couple of hours of the white stuff would be nice - until we get back to the mild of course.
