Oi, you lot in verwood, stop stealing our precipitation, haven't you had enough?

Nope!!!

[Man With Beard]

Picking up a bit in Drayton again, one last hurrah??

[Frosty_wsm]

snow getting heavier now, still small flakes though.

[Iceberg]

As promised a few pictures.

very brief.

1 of the depth in the garden taken with a ruler (on top of the hutch by the house so should be pretty accurate) 18cm or so, but it has been snowing since and still is.

1 of the main road in my part of dorset the A350, showing that its pretty dire out there.

Some of various places.

The blue thing is a dog lead approx 6 inchs height trying to show the depth on the hill i.e it was twice the depth of the dog lead so 12 inchs or so. (the pictures were all from 9.30am this morning so the hill will certainly be higher.

BTW I know i am very lucky, just wish everybody could have lots of snow.

Current conditions temp 0.9C Dp -1.5C light snow.

sorry about the size of the pictures.

[Cleeve Hill View]

Come on radar, you can do it.... keep pushing the pepped up snow showers towards Cheltenham

I'd take some of that will it happen !

[Bobafet]

Much lighter south of the iow now and also temperature is rising slightly and a slight thaw is happening.

[Gas Ed]

Looking good yes?

Think it's starting to fragment somewhat, but ya never know!

The last blob on the radar shows as though it broke up through here & has now passed, yet it's still snowing! Temp -0.7

[divadee]

Temp 0.6c dp has gone up to 1c so think it could be rain if we get anymore ppn. Wind coming from ESE

[Duane S.]

VERY happy with my snowfall. Quite a few cms of wet laying snow, turned to rain eventually and has stopped for the past hour or so but not too much melt so far.

[TheHumph]

Not much left showing on the radar but still snowing heavily in Petersfield!

[jtay]

Lunchtime walk lead to a snowball fight with village kids.

One crying nine year old surely means I win. Is that how it works?

[offerman]

Light snow here , no snow melt as of yet, fairly high up so that helps.

[iceman1991]

well what can i say we've had about 17cm here cant complain just stopped snowing hopefly that low on sunday from will gives us all some more snow this weekend hope all you guys are enjoying the snow.

[lettice]

stopped here now, melt is on

temp up to 1.8c

[offerman]

Heavy snow now in frome yet nothing on radar on rain today, how does that work then?

[Zephyr]

Still snowing here in Yate not sure how deep it is..

[Nights King]

Well I went outside to make a snowman (return of sid) to find it is abit on the dry side and doesn't stick So I sledged down the road into the villiage which was quite fun!

Shattered now though I'm too old lol

Still steady light snow falling, has been all day long just a shame it isn't abit heavier -1.1c

Rodwell has had very little. Do you think we will get some more as I have a very disappointed husband who stayed up half the night lamp post watching as he was to excited to sleep.

yep, steady snow here again...and eyes are turning to that stuff over north devon & south wales to see if it can hold together until it gets here

I think it is breaking up to be fair but will probably get a few more flurrys from it. Would be nice to get a hard deep penetrating frost into this snowcover now to preserve it

Anyone seen latest NAE charts for weekend? we due anything else?

Heavy snow here in Stroud again, 6-8 inches depending where you stand (I'm not in town!). Very happy!

[dancing daisy]

That blob won't break up until it goes past my neck of the woods

Still light snow, I don't think it has stopped since it started.

LOL just read that back, it makes perfect sense to me.
