Light dusting here overnight which was a pleasant surprise.

Looks like my journey back from Basingstoke could be fun this evening though!

[Uncle Gargy]

Had about 1cm dusting this morning, but the temp is 1c so it's melting quite fast. But a lot more is expected this evening

[dancing daisy]

Went to bed at 1am, really heavy frost everywhere and it looked like an inch of frost on my car windscreen. I have woken up to nada, it is positively balmy and the majority of our snow has gone.

What is going on? I can see this being a rain only event for us now.

[theprophecyman]

^{Morning All, some snow overnight in Frome, possibly 1/1,5cms I would guess, looking forward to later this evening/overnight - hopefully another top up}

[Bumpkin]

Not sure what happened as I went to bed before the system arrived but there is no change outside and I have the drip drip drip from my roof. temp gone above freezing.

[Coast]

Well if you go by the models then anything could happen today, GFS still says maybe something later?

I think the radar is your friend today

[dec10snow]

Looking at the forecast last night,i thought ,ok could be in for a nice little bit of Snow.Looking at the Radar this morning.....not a chance!!! Not cold out.We have had a tiny dusting but nothing really.

At least you had some! Rain here... Doing a good job at getting rid of remaining snow....

[jessandjon]

No snow for me but the thunderstorm was interesting!!! (Scary)

[Agenda109]

Rain here I'm afraid. I guess that means its all over now

[quantock girl]

rain with bits of other stuff here. I thought about staying up but hoped the possible thunder would wake me - not a chance, the rain woke me up!!

Ever the optimist, poss more snow this afternoon.

Have you seen the UKMO? Doesn't look the best

[Bristawl Si]

Surprise 2cm here overnight. Felt that lovely crunch underfoot as i walked to bus stop for work. Dunno what temp is but no melt from the fresh snowfall. Guess it'll start thawing soon though.

Looked at radar earlier and it seemed it had broken up a lot, maybe a lot more than had been forecast.

The weather continues to defy the humans at times - comforting!

[AWD]

Both the NAE;

and NMM;

paint some interest overnight tonight. Otherwise its a day of radar watching. I'm sure some will get a little surprise over the next 24 hours, which is what makes it all the more fun.

[Iceberg]

Certainly starting off as rain here 2c and light drizzle...

Still hope for later and tonight as the cold air digs back in, but very very knife edge.

[dancing daisy]

I am really confused, went to bed with a -3c temp and it is now 2.2c outside, dark & rainy. But the weather is showing a large amount of snow for me with a temp of 3c later.

[Blizzardof82]

I have woke up early but it looks like I should have saved my energy for tonight, interesting times again Here is hoping to another event, local forecast on BBC breakfast saying 6cm for Bristol later on evening in to night

[Catacol]

Another disappointment in the most disappointing "snowy" spell of the last 20 years. Rain overnight, little sign of anything else. Once the mild air breaks through at the end of the week I will be binning this week from my memory as fast as possible. Absolutely dreadful if snow is what you want.

What forecast was that?

That's probably the best case scenario, keep expectations a little lower than that forecast for now. Certainly possible though, we will see!

We get it already, it didn't snow for you. Doesn't mean it was the same for loads of others, I'm 15 miles from you and had 4 inches Friday much of which is still clinging on so change the record, it's getting really boring. It's the weather, no ones fault!

[Island Singer]

I can hear dripping...oh well its not often we have four days f snow cover here 3 miles from the south Hampshire coast...and I did get to sledge! Woukd be hsppy to have spring now...the daffs are out up the road!!

[somersetsnow]

Oh well. Off to work,will take the pathfinder........just incase!

[AWD]

Nice scene to start the working day with near Freshford;

(apologies for the bright light, colleague playing the prankster).

Points West on BBC breakfast, even reporter started with going by latest output etc etc.......

[124alex]

BBC updated rain tonight. Into tomorrow

[Tam]

Well I woke up hoping to see some fresh snow outside but just wet, and now I have just found out some bar steward has hijacked my debit card to the tune of three hundred quid so now have to sort that out. NOT a good start to the day
