Snow Reports, Early April 2008

[M'Lady]

Snow shower at about 1.30am has left a smattering of snow this morning.

[multi cellular thunderstorm]

Got a snow shower here in Jarrow, Tyne and Wear.

Not heavy enough to settle yet, and it's close to sea level here.

VERY rapid thaw of 2 cms that fell between 5 and 7. Cold, with glorious sun now! Maybe some more later? Glad for those with several centimeters, get out in it before the sun arrives!

[Blackie]

Snowing here in Shoeburyness now, really didn't expect this a very nice surprise.

I thought we were going to be too far east to get anything.

Glad to see a fellow Shoeburyness snow-watcher online, Michelle

Yes, very unusual for us to get much with a set-up like this. We usually need to have the winds coming in from the east or south-east off the Continent to pick up the moisture off the North Sea. It isn't settling as we are too low, but still nice to see.

Snowing heavy in Walderslade (Chatham). Started around 7.30 and still falling. 2 to 3 inchs so far...

[Tom D]

Snowing lightly here again, but it's mostly melting the settled snow.

Made a snowman though!

Some nice powder stuff in carmarthenshire, shame I didnt get up early to take some pics.

Melting fast with the sun, actually feels warm.

Heavy snow started falling here in Fareham at about 7am has left a good covering of about 5cm on the ground, still snowing very lightly here

[Devon-Nelly]

Woke up to a 10 minutue moderate snow shower here, ( would have stuck if snowed heavy for long enough ) the first since March 2007, gloriously sunny now, great while it lasted hopefully more to come.

Hi peeps

Been snowing here in Sittingbourne since 8am. On and off, light then heavy. Wonder how long it will last? Not enough here to make a snowman, mind you the dogs keep getting white backs when they go out for a wee lol!! I think it's now too wet for it to settle unless we have an absolute blizzard

Hope everyone is ok

Luv T...xxx

light snow here now - nothing major and non on the ground from last nite - just light shower at present, but sky getting grey so fingers crossed.

Yes we also have some snow here in Swindon Wilts!! Looked on the Netweather radar to see what time it came.Seems to have fallen heavily between 05.00-0600 as it tracked S&East.My daughter who was 10 a couple of days ago hasn't seen a reasonable amount of snow in our garden before Here's a couple of pics, one being my daughter Aysia and my wife.

A good four centimetres here in Birmingham. The strong sun is causing a rapid thaw, alas, but it looks like there's more to come tonight. Fingers crossed!

Have a great day everyone.

Regards,

Mike.

At last, I am pleased that for the first time since I have joined this forum, I can write the words - it is now snowing in Eastbourne - not a lot but one must be grateful

[MP-R]

Some pathetic snow at lower levels last night but a good covering on the Mendips, completely white in bare places. Going walking there in a mo.

[Kentish Snowgirl]

Has been snowing here for last hour, unfortunately too wet to settle following earlier rain/sleet, shame!

[Zenarcher]

Snow all morning here and still snowing

[Damp and dreary]

yup agreeing with coast, snow in Eastbourne, not quite settling at the mo appart from on cars.

[charlton north-downs]

Biggin Hill earlier this morning-still snowing but slowing -1c about 4 to 5ins best this winter/spring

[Interested]

What a lovely morning in Basingstoke.

Best sound in the world was when the two grandchildren phoned (aged 2 and 3) at 7.30am - they've never seen snow like this before and all I could here was "WOW".

[swales]

More showers of snow in carmarthenshire.

[Kiwi]

Great snow here today -- best we've had for years -- preceeded by an almighty thunder clap! B)

Lots of fun on the sledges

[Rollo]

Just started snowing quite heavily here.
