2 distant rumbles of thunder heard in the last 5 mins here in Northampton.

Snow has eased here now to a moderate fall. Heavy snow was brief, maybe 5 mins, but nice while it lasted. Snow virtually stopped now. Damn it!

HEAVY SNOW!!! Yes! Really coming down here at the moment.

It looks as though its dying on the latest met office radar picture. Hopefully it'll still have some snow left in it by the time it reaches here.

MK is only 15 miles down the road from Northampton so its make much more sense for MK forum users to post here.

Eveing all, we have another light snow shower atm her in Northampton (NN4), so this evening the showers have given us here a top up of around 1cm of snow.

Right last post of the night, I'm off to hit the sack and dream of 25cm of snow being dumped on Northampton. Still snowing light to moderate, and we now have about 5-6cm lying on the ground. Good luck to those who are still keeping everything crossed for there first snow.

Still snowing hear moderately (Northampton NN4)everythings white! It did come down rather heavy for a time here. But is definatley eased in the last 30 mins. Just checked and we have a around 1.5" covering.

Hmmm, nothing here yet in NN4 (Hunsbury) Northampton

The BBC forecast i watch earlier this afternoon said rain for the all midlands expect higher ground where they should expect snow. What's going on? Its been freezing or below here all day. How cold does it need to be for it to snow for gods sake. <_<

So what weather stations/temp gauges do you guys recommend for home use? As it seems mine could do with replacing.

Hmmm! I guess from those readings that my gauge has gone to pot.

Indeed I am in West Hunsbury. I must admit though the temp gauge I use is only a £50 jobby, nothing to flash or expensive. Temp now -0.3c

I suppose, but it is dark now and I probably don't get affected to much by the town's heat where I am.

Fine and dry here (NN4)at the moment, apart from the earlier brief light rain. Temp currently 0.1c
