As if there was that much snow yesteday!

The north-west was covered in white and I can categorically confirm we had no snowfall!!

looking at that picture it's amazing how little of continental Europe has snow.

looks like we've been rather greedy this year.

That's a great chart, it should be much more common that we have snow but due to the Gulf Stream etc we're much milder. Let's hope it happens a little more often!

Great chart and thanks for turning it around JH. For one minute I had Japan as the UK.

Here's some satellite images showing the snow cover. They will take ages to load on a slow connection.

These are the clearest days showing the snow best.

Thanks for posting this, a rare delight these days. If you look really carefully you can see the green patch near me (The only bit that is not white)

[Bolton67]

I did not post it, Northants_Snow did.

But i will take the credit for it. :lol:

wow thats amazing looks like the artic circle has grown a few thousand miles south, if we did not know better that is very similar to graphics shown on tv in regards to what was happening during the ice age. nice to see plenty of sea ice around Greenland etal, especially as its been receeding in recent years.

It's always good to see a lot of Britain covered in snow

[reef]

I always like these pictures.

In this case they show perfectly how areas in the east and north-west without any altitude completely missed out.

[Interitus]

Apart from the inaccuracies showing wall to wall snowfall as already pointed out, probably largely due to resolution, the interesting thing is how meridional the snow is rather than the usual zonal.

We have snow at the expense of lack of snow in Germany and Poland, even Belarus and Ukraine, and other parts of eastern Europe. I think this would be quite unusual for a cold spell here at this time of year, maybe more expected in spring.

Oh we are absolutely ripping!

Brilliant shots there, nice to see the south of the UK layered in so much snow.
