Little bit of a snowy covering here, looking out towards Caradon Hill (Bodmin Moor) there is a decent looking covering aswell. Bit surprised to see this, but at least we've had something

[Karl83]

Had a peak outside and yes there is settled SNOW on the car windscreens.

[gottolovethisweather]

A few strikes showing up on the radar in recent times around the SW approaches and offshore, keep your ears and eyes open guys n gals and also well done on the snow, more wintriness this morning perhaps.

[snowponies]

First day this winter with lying snow! Not a huge amount, perhaps 1-2cm. Melting quick with the sun out though, temp is currently -0.2 degrees

[Bristawl Si]

Looks like we might have had the lightest of wet snow shower in early hours. Our flat roof extension has a white icy deposit on it.

[Nights King]

Well that was a let down, had the temperature and elevation but all the showers missed me completely  

 

Now I am at work I bet ppn hits my home as snow and ill get rain at work

Getting sleety showers here, was bright sunshine 30 mins ago, now gone back to dark and gloomy norm...

[snowdog]

Bright,sunny and breezy here after a brief hail shower.Have had 26.8mm of rain in the last 24 hours ! Our grass in the back garden is so green and starting to grow but the ground is so sodden no chance of mowing it !

[dec10snow]

Light dusting up on Exmoor according to Facebook (they had a picture as well)!

[Gleno-South Coast]

Good to hear sleet n snow in the west,nice surprise!

Occasional heavy hail showers with some sleet in them and very strong gusts of wind.

Looking at rain radar some heavy showers to follow soon

[wimblettben]

I hope we don't have another let down with the winds today like yesterday as I would have thought it would be more windy then it is now with 50-70mph gusts forecast.

 

It doesn't look very stormy outside, in fact its quite sunny.

[gottolovethisweather]

Brace yourself Ben and as I know you love this particular type of active weather, it will come and there is also much more on offer as we head into the middle part of next week too. The strongest gusts of wind and most damaging ones at that, will be as the showers move in, my eyes are drawn to the SW approaches right now, and that mass of rain over Wales too.

All calm here at the moment and 8C

24mm of rain fell up to midnight last night, that brought the January total to 284mm. Slightly moist!

Another 3.8mm has fallen today, nothing like closing a wet month by opening one too.

[wimblettben]

Winds picking up out of no where now with a 35mph gust recorded allready on the house.

 

I don't know why anyone was even talking about yesterday for winds, we have allready surpassed anything from yesterday which was just breezy when there was suppose to be 40-50mph gusts.

I hope that's a typo.    even 24mm is far too much for those flooded areas to endure currently. Perhaps we can hope for only 24mm over the course of Spring and Summer, coinciding with dry type Thunderstorms, yes sir please!

[Beast of Plympton]

We had a nice dusting of snow on the roofs and cars this morning.... All gone now, making way for the storm!!

If we get even 3 weeks of dry weather this year they will start banging on about water shortages!
