[LomondSnowstorm]

Another 4 inches accumulating overnight and still going!

[Marcus_surfer]

Snow at times this afternoon, changing to sleet at times. Quite heavy but should clear soon. No accumalations here

[conor123]

Can fairly confirm the snow drought is over here in Telford, moderate snow with large flakes at 0c.

[Albion Snowman]

Snowing for the last 30 mins with large flakes. Settled readily on frozen ground. Temp 0.7C and falling slowly. Very festive!

[Terminal Moraine]

Light snow falling here for the last 20 minutes.

[Polar Continental]

Light wet snow for the last half hour, temperature did rise to 1c before the snow, has recently fallen back to 0.4c.

[BornFromTheVoid]

Moderate snow the last 40 mins have given a few centimeters here in Tipperary, best snowfall since last February.

[snow1975]

We got 3'' of fresh snow overnight which fell in a short space of time, from 0300-0500hr. This snow came dowm from the north-east. Fife was not supposed to get snow according to the weather forecasts yesterday and because of this the council gritters/ploughs were unprepared.

[Storm Animal]

Currently snowing, lightly over past 45 mins, but now much bigger flakes & settling readily. Temp -1oC. Hopefully stay cold enough for another few cm. Radar shows some much heavier stuff coming from the South immenently ;o)

[grab my graupel]

Been snowing here for the past 90mins - flakes are quite large at present

[Thundery wintry showers]

The area of snow just to the south of Cleadon at 3-4am largely fizzled out as it got here, but gave a dusting. Currently rain though.

[MP-R]

In comparison to the actual temperatures we've had in this spell which are quite impressive for so early in the season, the snow has been rather whimperish.

21st: 2cm from lines of overnight showers

22nd: 0.5cm from more overnight light showers and a few afternoon ones

24th: 0.25cm or around there from an unknown surprise overnight fall, but following rain yesterday

Better luck next time I say.

[Cloud 10]

A further light covering of snow here this morning which fell in the early hours and some more snow later in the morning which was quite heavy at times with huge flakes.

A very festive christmas eve.

[snow1975]

Still several inches of snow on the ground.

Less cold today, max 2.7C- highest for a week, so a slight thaw. We've also had a wintry mix of sleet, wet snow and ice pellets since 1030h-1400hr.

[mackerel sky]

Light to moderate snow falling in Rushden after a good few hours of rain and sleet. Ho-ho-ho.

[flighton]

Snowing here in Greenock for the last 20mins....small flakes and lying on already frozen snow/ice

[snow1975]

Does sleet falling count as a white Xmas????

We have showery stuff earlier this morning, most of it was light and of rain. However, there was a moderate burst of sleety rain at 0900hr when i was doing my observation.

[grab my graupel]

Just had a snow shower which lasted around five minutes before turning to rain.

[Cloud 10]

Snowing lightly here at the moment,also had a light snow shower early in the morning.

[Storm Animal]

Had 30 mins of pretty heavy snowflakes falling at about 20:00, meaning that it was infact a white Xmas here afterall. Lots of snow still lying, however temps appear to be climbing (1.8oC @ present) Thaw appears to be setting in

[snow1975]

A proper white Boxing day here!

7cm of snow on the ground.

Sleety snow started at 1310, soon became moderate snow and then massive flakes at 13.37hr before quickly petering out.

[LomondSnowstorm]

4 inches overnight giving a total depth of 8 inches, the most here since the turn of the millenium.

weird the way it is snowing in scotland it is raining here needless to say we are the same conditions and temps etc.....

Have had snow lying here for 9 consecutive days (around 3 inches) since last saturday but has been melting since yesterday considering temps got up to 2.4c now 3.4c here so mild today but am hopefull temps will go down to around 1c tomorrow maybe 0c which should be good but if they get any higher than 4c today i will be very disapointed!

[Thundery wintry showers]

Rain heading south through Cleadon has contained sleet on its northern flank.

[snow1975]

Continuous sleet/wet snow since 2200h/26th until 1200h/27th. The rainfall equivalent is 16.0mm in the 24 hours up to 0900hr today. There was heavy sleet around 0130hr, which turned to snow. When I looked out my window at 0500hr, the ground was white with fresh snow. At 0730h, more sleet but it turned to wet snow for an hour. It settled on my windowsill briefly. From 0830h onwards, it was mostly moderate rain/sleet with sleet/wet snow in heavier bursts from time to time.

4 inches overnight giving a total depth of 8 inches, the most here since the turn of the millenium.

I don't live far from you, plus i live higher up, and yet nowhere near 4 inches here. I don't understand it. O the higher ground, 1km north of here, at 200m, about 5cm settled overnight bringing the total average depth to 15cm.
