Snow Reports Monday 5th Jan

[Guest North Sea Snow Convection]

Excellent

Better than here, although we managed about 0.5cm of very wet snow which froze solid, very icy here.

Please send some of those real snow showers to me,

Paul

Hi Paul

Still waiting for those real snow showers to develop. The morning snow is very patchy now but I am hoping that the colder air arrives soon with maybe another snow shower or two to provide some further lying snow to freeze up overnight.

Still, large amounts of snow were never predicted - so I am grateful that I have had some, whatever happens the rest of the day

Your photos from last week btw were beautiful!

Dusting of snow here this morning, showers at 1020pm last night, still a very hard frost with absolutely NO sign of it even shifting a little bit

[grab my graupel]

Had a very light dusting of Snow during the early hours, and there are one or

two very light flakes falling atm

[Paul]

Had a dusting of snow overnight, still there now.

About 1-2 Centimetres overnight and still laying in the Back Garden. One or two McFlurries this afternoon not amounting to anything at all.

[Snowly does it]

woke to a dusting - drove to the city down the back lanes and there was/is 1-2 cm cover in places - light flurries have continued all morning and lunchtime on and off occasionally of enough oomph to redust but in the main it is flakes in the breeze.

Light sugar coating remains on many surfaces but some melting - should carry some cover through the night and clouds look condusvie for a few more showers.

The peak of deepest mid winter here in Freshwater bay, we have just had a light snow flurry, it lasted 2 minutes.

It rained here overnight, now at last we are able to get snow, of course all the cloud giving snow has passed by

Hope for a better show next winter.

[Azores Hi]

Tops of the downs had 1 1/2-2 inches this morning. On lower ground more like 1 inch or less. A few flurries in the afternoon so far and it is snowing lightly as I type.

[Glideslope]

Nice winter scene this morning 0800, perhaps 1-2cm, all but melted away now, just some were shadows have been.

Covering in Ruislip this morning, and also snowing at work in Canary Wharf around 8.30am-9.30am.

[Bristawl Si]

Snow fluuries here in north bristol, at the mo. Wasn't expecting them to get this far west this after.

[mispy]

Light dusting of snow in Borehamwood at 7:30 this morning. Continued to snow lightly until 10 am then stopped. Temp reached 3 degrees so snow melted except in sheltered shady spots. Currently showers of snow grains which are settling on concrete etc.

Hey, woke up this morning to more snow! Must of snowed alot throughout after I went to sleep at around 12.

I woke up to this.

This was the back garden when I decided to step outside.

And theres still snow around now look..

The back garden again, but now.

Looking out to the road infront now.

[Serendipity]

Nothing much to report overnight - the lightest of dustings if you looked hard enough!

This afternoon we had a light flurry folllowed by a 10 minute beefier shower that gave another light dusting on edges of pavements etc.

[Stoxs]

very light dusting here at 6am, returned home to some proper flakes and a shower lasting 10 mins, not enough to cover the ground but you can see the flakes on the ground.

[Supercell]

1-2cm of overnight snow and flurries throughout the day. Wonderful wintry scene. Hazardous road conditions with the gritters tending to not visit my area.

Snow persisting all day with a hard frost likely tonight. Approaching -2C.

[fluffytrollop]

well, second time this winter that it has snowed here - an event last seen 5 years ago - so lots of happy kids (and parents) skidding about. Not exactly adrift with the stuff - about a decent centimetre or so. Cor, it all looked sooo lovely this morning! :wacko:

[Wilxy]

Its been an cold day we had snow this morning that gave a nice dusting. Still cold now at -0.7°C.

[johnholmes]

Just for the record, as I believe theses threads are saved. About 1cm of snow overnight, last shower around 7.30am.

[mackerel sky]

Snowed between 12.30am - 5am this morning, the odd moderate burst. Left 4cm of snow, which thawed for a while after stopping. Now 1-2cm still left in most places. Much less about 15-20 miles south of here at work - all melted and clear there by mid-afternoon. But here the roads are now like an ice rink. Odd very light flurry this morning and afternoon.

Shrewsbury, Shrewsbury, why are you so messed up when it comes to snow?

This morning, following nigh on 2 years with no lying snow at all, it decides to tease us by giving some parts of town a 1cm dusting, other parts a <0.5cm sprinkling, and leaving other parts with just black ice and nothing sufficient enough to class as lying snow.

To sum up this is what different areas of town (a town only 4 miles wide) had at 9am; all roads/areas mentioned shown on Streetmap

1) Southern half of town, south of a line from Crowmere Road to Radbrook Road- including Meole, Sutton Fm, Belle Vue, most of Radbrook and southern half of Monkmoor: 1-1.5cm lying snow, wthich had frozen after falling, rooves and roads visibly white.

2) North of this line: Area between Radbrook Rd and Mytton Oak Rd, Porthill/Kingsland, the town centre generally, and most N and NE suburbs (rest of Monkmoor, Harlescott, Sundorne, Mt Pleasant)- ice topped by a slight sprinkling of snow, less than 0.5cm but still enough to make a lying snow day. (I live in this zone)

3) NW suburbs (Shelton, Oxon, Bicton Heath) and locally around Greenfields- just frost and black ice, slight trace of snow not enough to count under MO rules. Southern boundary of this zone less than a mile from edge of zone 1!

This is a seriously messed-up town that needs a no-nonsense dump of deep snow to sort itself out!
