Stopped now but left a good 2cm or so. Big flakes. A welcome surprise. Worth staying up till 3:30am.

Our attention turns towards the North now though! I'm going to try and get soke kip but i'll set my alarm for about 6:30am and see what the radar looks like then.

The trough that kept on giving. If this is what we can expect over the next few days - I'm defo ALL IN!

Here here!

I'm actually gobsmacked, you wait hours and hours and its over in minutes, but the chase is well worth it. Amazing stuff, easily pleased me.

That trough is like a perfect picture arrowhead on the radar. I'm naming it the arrowhead trough in memory!

Surprised to wake up to a covering of snow this morning in north Hampshire. Probably no more than 0.5cm, but a covering all the same.

[coram]

The band of precipitation that gave a covering of snow in north Hampshire passed through at about 3.30-4.00am. Another band id due very soon, but the temps have risen a degree or two so this one will probably be of rain. We'll see.
