Watford: Now 0 C. it was slightly cooler earlier, started snowing about 2030 hours and pretty well finished for a time at 0030 hours, however just had a quick look at the lamp post and it is coming down again, slight to moderate but appears to be intensifying - bigger flakes this time, only small before - still quite breezy with some drifting. Total depth to date, say about 5 cms, difficult to estimate when it drifts.

Did post some piccies on a different post.

Night Night all, have to go to bed - can't stand the stress of it all!

After a tmax of -6°c at midnight it has gradually become colder until now with clear skies.

Very cold outside, but no wind. The snow squeaks now when walking on it.

Snow depth around 25 cm, but more in the drifts! :unsure:

[Stargazer]

Snow started in Reading around 10.30 last night. At 8.00 when I left home: clear, -1.0 and still falling, 8cm of level snow on the garden table (the flattest surface we have outside) and 6-7cm on the (uneven) patio. About 4cm of snow here at work in Basingstoke, but it's started snowing again. Wind moderate E.

[Osbourne One-Nil]

-1.5º here and sunny after a low of -3.6º earlier this morning. There's a dusting of snow on everything making the Pennines look especially beautiful this morning. Kent might have 6 inches of snow, but half an inch on the Pennines looks better than 2ft on top of shopping centres...not that I'm jealous of course.

I suppose last night brought the twelfth air frost of the season.

Missed out on any snow showers overnight (typical), a very cold start after a low of -2.9c and currently -1.9c with a fair amount of cold after a clear start.
