Fairly heavy wet snow falling here for past hour or so, Temp 2oC. The snow has stuck to the grass, giving, but failing to stick to the roads at the moment, nice surprise

Sleet here with some large wet flakes mixed in, the hills are turning white.

Its another shock snowfall happening right now, snow coming down quite steadily and sticking to car, grass etc, although not roads at present

[Storm Animal]

Just seen a gritter going past up the A62, must be expecting the snow to develop. Just taken a pic to show im not going mad! im a long way off being snowed in, but its still coming down & very misty hehe

[Sno' problem]

The NW radar has it as sleet, but you are quite high up, but there is some fairly heavy ppn around, so you could be in for some more.

(Edit: in fact it looks like you are in for another shower any second now)

Nice covering of wet snow here, still big fat 50p flakes falling as i type this.

[Chrissy]

Snow stopped falling just after 6am, melting fast now.

[Pennine Ten Foot Drifts]

Light snow here at the moment

EDIT: Snowing quite heavily now, large flakes. Even starting to stick on the grass.

I know it's been said before, but I really can't stop myself from being a bit irritated by this, if this spell of weather had come two or three months ago we would have been looking at a quite serious cold spell, with regular snowfall and, for this location anyway, days of lying snow with probably some quite impressive depths. Sometimes I really hate the British weather !!!

[snowingtequila]

Heavy sleet here at 11am. Heavy wet snow at about 4pm. and then some hail.

[Will storm]

Heavy snow just started but its very wet melting instantley, nice surprise though

[Storm Animal]

Whey-hey! its snowing here with a temp of 1oC.......Helen Willets and local weather say there could be upto 6cm over the peak district tonight down to 200m asl. Nice to see this relatively late snowfall, but not that unusual I guess :unsure:

[multi cellular thunderstorm]

Got hail here and i'm close to sea level tonight in Jarrow.

Quite a suprise :unsure:

[Storm Animal]

Well woke up to a smattering of snow cover, think it may have snowed heavily overnight, but the ground was quite wet, so probably struggled to settle. Temp is currently 0.6oC. Lying snow level seems to be almost 300 metres, so I should count myself lucky!

[Dr Rains]

I;m fed up temp -0.5c
