Snow/Wintry Precipitation Reports: 28th February 2004

[paul tall]

9cm snow last night. Presently 9cm average level depth, but 12cm deep in the back garden where yesterdays snow didn't melt. Very nice. Started snowing again. Kids presently outside destroying it. Drifts against the outhouse and back door nearly 2ft deep.

another 1/2 inch overnight, currently snowing.

Apparently my parents have confirmed that some 4 inches has fallen overnight on the coastal strip around South Shields and Sunderland.

The last two winters have been noteworthy for the frequency of straight N'ly flows concentrating snow showers down this coastal strip. Hence, their heaviest snows since February 1994 have all occurred in the last 2 winters- January 2003, January 2004, February 2004.

Why, oh why, did they have to coincide exactly with the winters I'm spending away at Lancaster university. I used to live on that coastal strip until October 2002, and it kept missing out on these snowfalls when I was over there!

Anyone know if any snow is going to appear around Stansted airport area? Dull and cold but not even a flurry.

Strange. A moment ago at 1:30pm, the sky was bright.. it had a strange white-ness quality to it. Then when i had my back turned, i could hear the pattering of snow hitting the ground outside. White-out! for about 10 minutes, before dyingo ff. Now having light showers on and off. Little is settling though. Temp: 1 C

Hiya Everybody, I can't give you Hertford in Hertfordshires weather coz I have just arrived in Derbyshire.

On the motorway M1 at Hemel Hempstead I had a few flakes of very fine SNOW. It lasted about 20 minutes. When I went further up near Northampton it started again for about 10 minutes.

The weather in Alfreton in Derbyshire has sunny intervals with cloud and a little bit of a breeze.

There is lying SNOW in the shade and had a snowball fight with my mate.

Hooooooooray I get to see and touch S N O W at last. :lol: :lol: :lol:

[High Altitude]

Snowing here in west london. Temp is 2.4C

[evanmorgan]

still have a very wet covering of snow on the grass and cars, emphasis on the words 'very' and 'wet'

[Snow_Lover]

Here in Newark, East Midlands, we have had a few snow showers throughout the day which have been rather heavy, but they never settle. Last shower ended around 15 mins ago. Forcast still looks good for tonight and tommorow, and if it does fall tonight then hoopefully ice will have formed allowing the snow to settle..

[Cakie]

We've just had another shower - started off as tiny hail type snow but developed into lovely big flakes. I think that's our lot for tonight now.

Glad to hear you lot down south are getting some at last

[Snow_Lover]

Cloud just starting to increase again, and I wouldn't be too sure about you not having anymore snow, it is expected to remain showery in eastern and some central areas throughout the night and into tommorow..

[Paul]

Snow here now

[evanmorgan]

snowing lightly again, wish the wind was north east

[Frank]

The odd flake is coming down here now...
