There was nothing falling at 6am, went back to bed and woke up at 9am to find ground covered in white stuff... not enough to be of any use - still haven't been able to use the sledges!!!! Now it seems to be falling as rain - ARE WE EVER GOING TO GET SOME DECENT SNOW?????????

We're in bedfordshire!!!!

Now just rain after being very turbulent, switching from snow to rain to hail to sleet to snow and a blistery wind blowing all the time. Very dark, 1cm on the ground melting fast.

Temp : 0.6c

[Hurricane Andrew]

Still snow falling here

[Great Plum]

Was sleety at 5.30 but now proper snow

It was the same in Reigate when I was driven to the station - was still snowing at 8.30 according to the future Mrs Plum!

[rob_weiss]

We had the tiniest of dustings last night around 9pm. Woke this morning expecting further snow, And instead everthing had melted, and it was hammering down with RAIN!!!!

Not happy!!!

[Kent Snow]

Moderate Snow since 0830. Wind gusting too.

[Callie]

Ah now we have frozen rain/hail, not too sure what it is!!

[Thundery wintry showers]

Light snow between 5:30 and 8am in Cleadon, turned sleety between 8 and 9am, but then turned heavier and started settling again in the last hour despite the temperature staying constant at 0.8-0.9C.

3cm old snow and 1cm new snow. The main difference is the type of covering- most of Wednesday's snow was powdery, while the current covering is very wet and sticky.

[Richard Taylor]

Nope, still raining in Aberdeen, all lying snow gone.

Suspect began as rain too.

Temp though down a degree to +2.

[stumathers]

Raining here which is rapidly melting the lying snow. Started as sleety snow but added no new accumilations, just slush drifting up the walls. Soon turned to sleet then rain. Higher parts round here seem to have more snow though. rain at 0.8oc?

[Guest Sue]

Woke up to heavy snow, which carried on for a good few hours, giving us an accumulation of a good 4 inches.

Turned to sleet, then rain about half an hour ago, but is now trying to turn back to sleet/snow.

Temp is 0.5c

[Kent Snow]

Snow finally stopped after three and a half hours. Light rain now.

Had a nice walk out in it, up to the local shop. A complete covering on all surfaces.

[GrimReaper]

Heavy rain here since 10am.

Sleet between 8.30 and 10am with freezing rain?(ice pellets)

Snow up to 8.30am

About 1cm of lying snow at 8.30am

A dusting of snow has not melted since falling on 27 Dec. My neighbour tells me we had 3 short heavy snow showers that only resulted on about 1/2cm on the ground - and I have been away until yesterday and missed it!!

Yesterday say a minimum of minus 7c and maximum of minus 4.5c with some very light snow falling during the evening through freezing fog.

[frogesque]

7.30am:

Was snowing here, fairly wet but still lying, total accumulation 6cm level, fresh overnight snow 3cm , 7.30am. temp. -1C

12.00noon

Snow turned to heavy rain, now just a light drizzle. Temp 0.5C. Visibility improving and air temp feels colder. Thaw is slowing down - possibly about ready to freeze again.

Still white outside, drizzling now turning the snow to slush.

All in about 2 inches last night - damn hills near me took most of the ppn

Apologies for belated updates from NW Yorks, been off-line doing far more bill-paying and children-pleasing things for the past few weeks. Anyway, snow here in Stratosdale on Boxing Day (a vertibile dusting) evening, the 27th (several light showers adding up to an accumulation of a moderate dusting) and into the 28th (a heavy dusting, say 5mm).

Then snowed last night and this morning, adding about another 5mm, so only around 1cm total. Rather disappointing, though seasonal none the less.

Currently very foggy. Suspect that's it for snow for some time.

...however, I did go somewhere where there was oodles of snow...
