About 3cm now, this will get topped up alot today I suppose, expect to have at least 10cm by nightfall today.

all i can say is wow, a true winter wonderland outside. about an inch of snow on the ground. ery very dark clouds pushing in from my north west. this is going to be a very exciting day. outdoor temp -1.8c.

[frostyjoe]

a really heavy snow shower is coming in is starting snow from now onwards its gonna snow its good that we got an 130 min break from snow so the temp can drop!

[Baltic Regions]

Better get myself something to eat....and find meself a nice smooth surface for sledging with, everything seems to be square when you need it to be round haha.

[The watcher]

Haha, I never truely ramp until it happens, I have a relentless stomach now filled with anxiety dieing to get out in it and become a child again, then tommorow when the buses are better times, going to pick up the little one and enjoy it with her, her first decent snowfall.

[frostyjoe]

[SnowJon]

Magical scene out there this morning - best snow I've seen in Bangor for years

[BIG LAD]

[stormforce 10]

had another heavy snow shower here. a beautiful wintry scene outside. temp -1.2c.

[DaBrigg]

Just had a snow shower at sea-level in north Co Dublin. It had some fairly large flakes, a powdery covering has been left. The snow is blowing about on the roads and paths like sand on the beach. I was not expecting the showers to make it this far southeast.

Its has risen to -0.9C from a low of -2.4C overnight.

[frostyjoe]

some snow this is everything is beginnig to melt and the showers are taking ages to come if they dnt come in an hour its gonna be all melted 3cm wasnt much either... there are black clouds ahead but still itll all miss me and i doubt ever getting 10cm today and when they do come they fall like totty pelets instead of proper snow like glasgow has,.,,

Unfortunately thats the problem being on the windward coast in a NW wind. Coastal temps. Thank goodness its not an Easterly otherwise the same would be happening to me lol.

[frostyjoe]
