snowing moderate/heavy here :o shocker.. not sticking to anything at the moment.

[Dartmoor_Matt]

I looked...

I saw...

I conquered...

It is now officially snowing! Thats 9 days in a row with snowfall. Awesome..

In a cruel and ironic twist of fate though, its not snowing very heavily... which after 30mm of rain in 8 hours takes the p1ss!

edit: the info - 0.5C with a DP of -0.1C winds coming from the North at 18knots... allegedly. Did seem a little breezy out I suppose. Pressure 977mb

Still sleety rain, temps around 1c, It will probably turn to snow just as the front moves away.

One or two residual bits of snow hanging on in the Garden.

Very dry snow here now, still settling on gritted roads, smaller flakes consequently however....that heavier stuff currently causing problems in gloucester edging slowly this way

[Nights King]

Yes!!!!!

It is snowing hard outside, still a little wet but its sticking to the ground already.

Took 5 mins of snow before it started to settle.

[SilverWolf]

Settling in Stroud - seen from window cars travelling from all directions have inches of fresh snow on them, must be good just outside town.

I might drag the dog out with me later, it's stating to pitch just about now on paths

From the forecast I wasn't expecting anything other than heavy rain today and boy that's what I got. It got a bit gusty and chilly earlier but the rain just kept coming. My back garden is the most flooded I've ever seen it. Had to laugh cause there is a little frog out in part of the garden making the most of it ....... he's sitting in a pool of water right next to the remnants of my daughters snowman (which is all the snow that is left now).

I'm watching this thread to see how the Country File forecast for this week pans out as last week they had it pretty spot on.
