Seems the same to the east of our area is certainly less marginal than was thought. Another day of snow falling for this area. They are having a good week!

[Glenosnow]

At work in segensworth and snowing.......2 days this week now......easy tiger

[*Stormforce~beka*]

Sleety rain now. Joy another waste of preciptation ...

Repeat performance of the other day.

Sleety rain - temps going sky high - your missing nothing mate!

Ok, this is rubbish. PPN reaches here... It's sleet! It can't make up it's mind whether it wants to rain or snow.

Snowing here in Newbury over past 15 minutes or so, not that heavily and with an element of sleet about it so it is making all surfaces damp. On the edge of the main event which is now finally transferring Westwards. Good luck to folk in that region, but I personally wouldn't get over-excited about it all due to marginality factors striking once again. Having said that, I can now claim 7 snow days from this Winter at home, with one day of snow lying.

 

Have fun.

That was the forecast..rain, sleet maybe snow. Readily turning to rain on back edge now on radar.

 

I had a high of 5.9 yesterday, wonder if that will be beaten. Day time temps have risen all week.

I don't understand how it can be sleet here! Birmingham who are further North and West and should be in the warmer 850's are reporting light snow. Same for Nottingham. Reading which is just down the road is reporting snow and a work collegue in Didcot says its snowing there too. Didcot is only 13 miles away!

My house is around 100m ASL, higher than my place of work! Someone must have installed some hairdryers above mt house last night and pointed them towards the sky!

[lettice]

Snowing here now, but small flakes, so id say on the verge of sleet

[Evening thunder]

-3.9c at home in Devon last night so another decent frost.

 

Here in Egham it may have snowed earlier but I slept through it and nothing has settled.

[pikersteve]

Light flurries in Portsmouth, just driven from Horndean and its heavier there slight covering in patches.

[katemart]

Light sleety snizzle here at work on the west side of southampton.

 

1,5C, dp -1.9C, WB 0.3C.

[WestSussexSnow]

Drizzle to Snizzle to snow then stopped. Just too wet to stick!

[katemart]

Just drizzle now.

[gottolovethisweather]

I've up voted all the posts since mine with the word snizzle, snow or flurries contained within them because whatever the forecast was, I'm pleased to see some folk getting some action. Yes, desperate we may be but the clock is ticking and I'll take whatever Mother Nature can give us even if it is just a passing snowflake or two.

 

AT 1.7c, DP 0.6c now, so sleet to rain all the way now I'd imagine for me at least. MARGINAL!

light flurry here.. but looking at radar that nice line of decent snow seems to becoming west...

[A.J]

light snow here, more of a flurry really......conditions more and more marginal as the day goes on

Yes by the time ppn reaches us if it reaches us in somerset and Bristol where I reside until 5 pm it will be of rain. 

[jtay]

Spitting with rain here.

[knocker]

Deep gloom with Sc and slight rain. Temp 5.4C and NE 10mph. Min 0,3C and Tg -4C

[Climate_Eyes]

Snowed from 7am here up until recently, mostly moderate with the odd heavy burst. Total accumulation... 0.0cm's.

I suspect had it started maybe an hour prior, then it may have had a head start in laying, but alas it was just a little too marginal by then.

 

Stopped now... i'm almost tempted to go and towel off the grass just in case.

[offerman]

Clouding up here, expecting bit of rain or sleet shortly.

[Mark Neal.]

Been snowing here since 9am. On/off light to moderate flakes. Nothing settled though. Temp now 2.9c, so next batch will be sleet/rain I would of thought.
