Snow & Wintry Precipitation Reports - Early Feb

[Guest Shetland Coastie]

Further heavy snow showers overnight and a hard frost, about 1 inch of lying snow here now. Current temp -2.6C. Wind now more westerly with further snow showers this morning.

[Osbourne One-Nil]

Snowing here again now. Bored of it.

Snowing here again now. Bored of it.

Snow? What's that? As is normal - the only true mountainous area in England has no snow apart from a dusting on the tops - a very english effort i must say.

[disco-barry]

Snow showers until recently, a couple of inches at best...more just to my north sadly.

[Chrissy]

Less cold air now moving through my area with any showers turning more sleety.

A few more photos from earlier today.

Nae offence SF, but you would be the first to criticise anyone else for describing that pathetic snowflake as a "dumping" of snow. Indeed, it is very obvious that it is not a "dumping".

It is quite obviously simply a very, very slight dusting, if your usual measurement technique holds true.

You can't have it every which way you want it.

I think you'll find I was being drole. More than most on here it seems I genuinely understand what a dumping is, what heavy snow is, and what a blizzard is. I think even I wouldn't be so stupid as to claim a "dumping" (and mean it) then post pictures through which the fairly short grass on my lawn is clearly visible.

I did sense he was being sarcastic in his defence, when he mentioned the RAF helicopter!! but then again, if he's being truthful........ lol

Yes, that rather flagged my intent I think. It's pleasing to note that the subtleties aren't wasted on everyone. More to the point, I'm fairly sure that RAF search and rescue dispensed with the Sea Kings years ago - though I may be wrong (in which case I don't envy the pilots flying machines that are now well beyond design life - with or without expert maintenance).

Heavy snow showers since yesterday evening, and blizzard conditions this morning, now easing off, taken some pics for your pleasure, but will be posting more in the photography section. Temp is currently 0oC

Slightly more over your way than there has been here. We've had snow showers on and off all morning, though it's raining down in Chavley, though recently it's been more pellets and ice grains than out and out snow. Perhaps 2cm lying now, though temperature up to 4C, dropping to 3C or so in the showers - fairly warm for snow by my experience.

Snow still lying above around 500'.

We had snoooowww!!!@! central manchester was covered this morning...

picked myself up off the floor at last, having been for a jolly quick skidaddle with the we'uns and even managed t make a tiny snowman, before it melted. None since about 12 noon but boy, what a wonderful thing to have them all waking me up shouting their heads off this morning. (..well, ok, mixed feelings about that bit. It was about half six... )

Heavy snow here in tipperary at around 9:50am. Started off with light rain and a temp of around 8C then within 15 minutes it dropped to 3.4C and snow was building up on the cars and on the grass. Has turned back to sleet now and the snow is slowly melting but thats 4 days in a row with some bit of snow cover now

[stormforce 10]

heavy snow here in roscommon, temp 1.1c and dew point of 0.6c.

[swales]

Hail shower here, hail covered windows at back of house.

[GreatBarr]

Heavy hail in South West Wales!

[Thundery wintry showers]

A bit late- but wet snow on the evening of the 1st in Norwich, when for about a 2-hour window, the snow was heavy, and temperatures low, enough to enable the snow to settle to 2cm.

[Terminal Moraine]

Short but heavy shower of sleet between midday and 1300, all cleared away and it's now sunny.

[Osbourne One-Nil]

Had quite heavy snow around 11.30am today giving a covering on even the lower parts of the hills. Gone now, but still better than Kent's had all year.

Snigger.
