about 3" here

So we played catch up here fairly well then.

[Sara1988]

2/3cm here, not a lot, but better than a kick in the teeth and kids loved it so all good

[Harsh Climate]

Yep, although I reported heavy snow from time to time, It never stayed heavy for more than 20/30 minutes.

[Cheese Rice]

So we played catch up here fairly well then.

Yeah I thought that.

What we had in longevity your area made up for in intensity.

It was light to moderate snow here for the duration with the odd sporadic burst of heavy snow.

[jackst01]

Currently 5 inches of snow here and still coming down thick and fast!

Level 5-6cm snow but good quality though. Powdery and no slush.

Tbh don't see much thawage so looking forward to sledging with the kids 2moro.

PS. Was impressed by cover in Leeds city centre this evening; even by the train station the road was fully covered!

[tugster31]

Been snowing in Spalding since about 17:30. Just been for a 40min drive and small drifts are readily forming, my tracks had gone when i returned home. Not big flakes but quite fast and blowing about alot. Hard to judge current depth but possibly about an inch or two.

[The PIT]

Well happy bunny here but now need clear skies to preserve the ice day then 100% satisfied.

[sunny scunny]

More heavy snow should arrive here very soon, as it's intensifying just to my west.

[Letitsnowyorkshire]

Well going now as I have hogged the computer this evening , best day of winter 2011/12 by far !! hope temp starts to drop back now the snow has stopped ..hope everyone has a lovely ice day tomorrow , fingers crossed for more of the same end of next week

[Lincs Observation]

Update 21.04

Temp -2 Feels Like -13 Conditions: Heavy blowing snow, Drifts widespread and road conditions are poor. The A16 to Louth through the Wolds is particularly Bad with Vehicles struggling to make the climb to Cadwell.

Just been to Billinghay (Normally ten Mins away) and the snow is blowing off the fields and causing snow drifts 6" deep and its still blowing a hoolie with wind speeds back up to 27kph.

[Beverley Lass]

Still snowing heavily here, just measured 2" on the flat.

[pottyprof]

Well it all seems to be moving towards Lincs and going southwards, what a massive let down!

Poor forecast from look north for this area especially

[Cal]

Things pepping up again out west !!

[fazzafarrand]

Sorry guys but the 8 hour update

It has stopped snowing...........

Afew bits floating around in the air

between 3 and 4 " or 7 and 10cm

Hopefully it will still be here in the morning as the kids are desperate to go sledging!!!!!!!!!!

[JordanF]

Just been out to measure on table, currently 15cm but still snowing moderately. :-D

[The PIT]

Should be mate. Unless the forecasts are wrong. Any freezing rain will just put a crust of ice on it.

[Mellis]

Just walked back after being out for two hours and snow blowing around a lot and still coming down, just measured 7cm.

[The PIT]

Can anyone explain to me the point of walking up the middle of the road when the depth is the same as on the pavement.

Still if I drove up in my 4x4 the bird in the mini may have given me a good view. Yup still windy.

[Muffelchen]

Still coming down heavily here. Difficult to measure due to the wind and drifting but is about 3 inches deep on our road. I reckion this is probably an overestimate as drifted snow will lie between the kerbstones. I estimate between 2 and 2.5 inches so far. Temp is -2 degrees,

[Just Before Dawn]

Just got home to Louth from Boston - very challenging, with blowing snow and poor visibility - not long before the A16 at Keal Hill and Dalby Hill is impassable. Had about 3cm here and it's still going strong.

[sunny scunny]

Very happy with this event with easily 3 inches so far , and still snowing hard.
