Post your reports and general chat here please

dont forget there are threads for snow discussion for all areas of the UK in the winter discussion area as well as model discussion too

[Stratos Ferric]

Very cold here; near still air, clear skies, and a close to ground inversion very evident. Classic stuff above an extensive snow field.

Precipitation action looks further west than originally expected, and perhaps moving on a tad faster. Looking at euro radar most of what we're likely to get looks like it's now showing on the UK radar. Main action for snow may well be, as the UKMO called earlier tonight, the hills of Worcestershire, the NW Cotswolds, and the uplands of Derbyshire. Very marginal temps further SE, but at present N of London and E of the M1 snow looking slightly more likely than earlier forecasts suggested. Northerly extent will be interesting to see.

Fantastic wintry scenes this morning, the wonderfulness of it increasing as it gets lighter, always love snow just as it gets light, feels very cold at -1C, today is turning into a classic for us midlanders

Morning Folks

The thaw is well under way in SE London, I do not think too much rain fell last night as there is still snow covering the cars in my area. No snow left in central London, well not around Holborn anyway.

I'm glad some of you got a decent pasting last night, enjoy.....

Cheers

Currently -4.9C and overcast and calm.

[Rich_Clements]

currently 4 inches of lying snow temps just below freezing

[ukmoose]

Just stopped snowing leaving a good five inches of deep, powdery snow. heaviest snow for 18 years for this area.

Very surprising given all the forecasts last night. I am guessing everything stayed further south than expected?

Could anyone enlighten me?

[Northernlights]

Best snowfall of the winter this morning 8 inches in sheltered parts, 2 feet drifts, temp-1c, fresh NNE wind and icicles hanging off every window. Still light snow falling.

Machynlleth, mid Wales, SY20 8EZ.

0.6C, about a quarter inch of dry, powdery snow which has fallen during past 3 hours or so.

Still snowing, but tiny tiny flakes.

Complete overcast sky.

[LadyPakal]

Snow began as I got up about 15 mins ago. Looking at the radar it could be snowing for some time. Good sized flakes settling easily on the cold ground and snow left from yesterdays fall - temps dropped from 0.7 to around 0.3 with the snow onset.

Pressure 993mb, DP 0. Wind 13mph from the north.

A few snow showers here giving a dusting

Pleased to report, the minimum of 3" (8 - 10cm) of snow fell here overnight! Beautiful sight!

no snow rain temps 4c at 8.00am looking to rise to 8c maybe even 10c no good news either for us im getting more and more dissapointed with the winter.

not taking away anything from anyone else but we have not seen a full weeks snow event for many years and this trend is continuing.

this winter wont stick in my memories thats for sure. :o

[Bottesford]

Now THIS is proper snow! Over 2 inches of the stuff and still falling heavily. Gave up trying to cycle to work as even the main roads are slippery and covered in slush. Not seen snow like this in a long long time - at least not around the warmth of Nottingham anyway. Puts Monday's flurry in perspective that's for sure!

No sign of it turning back to rain yet - hopefully it'll stop before that happens or it'll be a nightmare later on.

[noggin]

Just got in from work and I've got 4 inches of beautiful, beautiful snow and it's still coming down, lightly.

I am happy. :unsure:

[Gilly]

Current Temps -2C. Wind has dropped and snowing has stopped. 4 to 5inches over night

[jethro]

Woke up to more snow , not snowing now but praying if any more pp comes through this area then it stays as snow, not rain. Without a shadow of a doubt, this has been the best winter in the twelve years I've been down here; all that hoare frost in the New Year and now four days of snowfall

[*AL*]

Crazy loads of snow in Swindon and it's still coming down.Radar shows it clearing West.All the schools shut around here so i'm off to build a snowman in the back garden!!

There is still more than 90% snow cover left this morning with depths still around 7cm. There has also been another light snowfall overnight, but only enough to add a slight dusting. The temperature fell to –1c overnight, though the minimum 24 hour reading was lower at –3.2c.

After a cloudy start, the sky cleared to give good sunny spells, still cold though with a top temperature of 3.5c with a thaw, though snow and ice persisted in the shade. Maximum wind gust 21mph, ESE. The temperature quickly dropped below freezing after sunset.
