[johnholmes]

unexpectedly Ian!

don't you look at the notice board in the main foyer?

[Terminal Moraine]

have you a rough idea of the depth please TM?

Sorry, John was offline for several hours after I'd posted that.

Continuous light snow has been falling for about 6 hours but has added only 2 or 3cm to the existing cover.

[Stratos Ferric]

Incessant snow here for about five hours of an intensity so slight that it beggars adequate description. We now have something less than a dusting.

thanks TM, the joys of living at altitude perhaps?

[andy_leics22]

Had heavy snow here from 9:45pm till 12:15am, around 5cm on all surfaces, around 7cm on the grass. Lighter now but it is still snowing!

[*AL*]

Lots of snow here in Swindon after heavy rain all day!

[mickie]

Had approx. 31/2 cms since last night and it is very wet snow. Cars clearing my road easily. Very soggy under foot.

[Zenarcher]

More snow showers overnight here leaving hills covered in it.

[grab my graupel]

Had a couple of snow showers this morning, one at around 10am and another a short while ago.

Showers lasted around twenty minutes and were light to moderate. The snow did not lay however, due to the wet ground

[Cloud 10]

Had some snow showers here during the early hours and at first light,nothing heavy but enough for a good dusting.

[Snowly does it]

At midnight last night a good covering - all washed out by this morning.

Have had some wintry showers today - sleet in the main with some wet snow which did not settle.

However, 7 of the first 10 days of Feb have seen snow falling for me, so I can't grumble.

Feb 1 - Easterly

Feb 2 - early hours, easterly

Feb 5 - snow showers in the early hours

Feb 6 - heavy wet snow - lsettled and stayed through the 7th in places

Feb 8 - snow late on

Feb 9 - rain to snow to rain

Feb 10 - sleet and wet snow showers

Several coverings of varying types, dustings to perhaps 2 inches in the Easterly

No snow on snow events though, but a fair amount - this winter has easily beaten the average for falling snow.

[grab my graupel]

Had a sleety snow shower at around 10:30 am that lasted around twenty minutes

[Terminal Moraine]

Several light-moderate, but short, showers of sleet between 1020 and present.

[johnholmes]

was in the higher parts of Sheffield today, surprised to see about 2cm of 'new' snow, I presume from the ppn of Monday night/Tuesday early am; this morning just quite heavy sleety rain until about 1 hour ago when it turned back to full snow, no idea how long it lasted as I was on my way back. Once below Gleadless, on the southern by pass it was rain again.

Incidentally the areas above Gleadless and Ecclesall have had more snow lying for the past 10 days than I can remember in probably the last 15 years or more. There was not the length of snow, or so I recollect in late December 1996-January 1997 although it was deeper. I may be wrong on that and stand to be corrected. But it must be the longest lying snow since 1996-7, for that area?

Showers of sleet and small hail early this afternoon turned to wet snow before clearing around 1600.
