[Ross B]

Woke up to a covering in the morning, about 0.5cm in depth. Wintry showers have continued mostly all day but have been mostly of rain since 2pm.

[skywatcher]

Graupel/snow showers on and off all day. Very grey, overcast, cold and miserable.

[Cloud 10]

Woke up to a covering of about 2cm this morning,with more snow showers through the morning and first part of the afternoon.

The snow was all melted by late afternoon,light showers of rain/ice pellets at the moment.

[Triumph]

We had a good covering overnight, about 2-3cms but it was gone by lunch time.

[Zerouali lives]

Snow showers, not settling.

For days of snow falling this is now the record snowiest March I have ever experienced since I started taking records.

Interesting that as there has only been 4 days this March when it hasn't snowed here in Aberdeen!

2 Snow Reports

Yesterday - Snow pellet/hail flurries around 9pm (sorry I can't tell the difference)

Today - Around 9am, moderate/heavy snow shower, not settling though.

[stumathers]

Had a few flurries overnight but had persistant light to moderate snow falling all morning which left over a cm on the ground. Very fluffy, dry flakes. This was followed by some light snow showers this afternoon. At around 3.30 it turned to ice pellets and became heavy for a while, giving a slight covering again.

[Stratos Ferric]

Been snowing here in a very-very-heavy-infinitessimally-light snow kind of a way for around an hour now. I needn't say that it's not going to amount to anything; that much is a foregone conclusion. The intensity on Stratos's scale is around 1.2: more than last night then. Had three or four old fashioned light showers with nice feathery flakes this morning, though this afternoon, lower down, it was rain. Snizzle above around 200m this evening.

[M'Lady]

[mackerel sky]

Had a proper snow shower lasting about 40 minutes sometime between 2-3pm this afternoon when I was in lovely Rushden High Street. Light outbreaks of snow pellets most of the evening, currently 1.1C.

[SP1986]

[Snowkissed]

a little snizzle here this morning!

[Shiny_Bottom_1]

And and off light graupel showers for the last hour. Sticking (I wouldnt call it much though) when falling, but melting as soon as the shower dies away.

[SnowShoeHare]

Flurried at home last night and this morning!

[MAF]

light showers here

[altocumulus]

Light flurries of snow for past couple of hours. Sprinkling on favoured locations such as car roofs, pot plants and sheltered house roofs. Not expecting to make a snowman.

[Shiny_Bottom_1]

Occasional graupel showers starting to become heavier and more lengthy. Also now having some snow mixed in.

Not much on the radar, so dont expect it too last long.

Also, the surfaces have now turned wet, so no settling in the lighter showers.

[gmoran]

very fine snow grains again this morning in Birmingham when I left my house at 7:10. It also looked like there had been more substantial precipitation in the night with many cars having a thin layer of snow on the screens and roofs. Very damp on the ground though. And it now looks like fine drizzle out the window.
