Back to heavy snow here in Alton. Big chunky flakes again adding to the accumulation. At least it wasn't a complete nothingness for us.

Heavy snow just easing and turning more icy/sleepy we have 3cm of snow so far but imagine melt will be quite rapid if the precip turns sleety. Been nice to see it falling though!

Eskimo I'm so tempted take.my new 4x4 duster for a spin haha

Midlander we are at 172m Still heavy snow falling here. Covered nicely.

MattStoke still going strong here. 20240208_101548.mp4

MattStoke this is where we all get a complete surprise snowfall as the cold air becomes further south hahs

Well a rapid light dusting here literally took minutes for the snow to settle its snowing that heavily. Not expected looking at the radar. Good to finally see the Starlink dish actually does heat up and melts any snow on it though.

Heavy snow settling in Alton. Big flakes throwing it down!

Update - we have a slushy deposit on the car. Event of the season haha

Polar Low For me it's not the warning but the inept lack of capability to forecast. Meteo Group with the BBC had the forecast spot on. Anyway let's not turn this into a bitter debate let's keep it a bit of fun!

Heavy snow falling in Alton. Temporary id imagine but a definite temp drop. Nice to see I guess but nowhere near what was forecast.

I would say tantalisingly close but then the weather radar is about as useful as a chocolate fireguard these days lol definitely nothing but rain in my vicinity.

MattStoke well its snowing in Buxton and Leek, close enough right? Haha

andy_leics22 same I already had today booked off before the hint of snow so a chilled day at least... definitely not because of the weather lol MattStoke yup I see your frustration. Weaver hills behind us which are elevated not even a hint of snow. We were in the Amber Area but nope nothing. I refrained from telling anyone it was going to snow this time. It seems to keep being the case nowadays a full day of snow turns to rain hours before.

Aidloz wouldn't hope. Met Office still says heavy snow here since 6am. Nope heavy rain.
