heavy snow

[neptune]

Rain has now given way to snow, quite large flakes but ground very wet of course so not settling yet

[Andy Bown]

A real combination down in Hythe, Kent this afternoon. Started off early this morning flakes in the wind. Then that fine icy pellet drizzle, then light snow tiny flakes, and for the past two hours it can't make it's mind up. We've had a combination of moderate light sleet, light snow, heavier bursts with massive flakes, drizzly light rain, rain barely sleet, then back to snow again, light bursts, heavy bursts. Looking out for the GFS predicted precipitation through to this evening hopefully something may stick though I think this is the last of it for this cold spell. Pretty to watch though!.

The above post sums up how the precipitation is changing here too!

In the time it's taken to write that sentence it's gone from snow to rain

Sadly the hills are white no longer

Still snowing here in Sheffield. Has been snowing non stop since 9pm last night. The snow is not currently settling on wet surfaces due to a slight thaw. But it continues to settle on the existing covering. At lower levels in the city centre and around the uni covering only remains on grass.

Here in North-West London after almost 4 hours of wet snow and sleet it has finally turned back into snow, fairly moderate falls now and some large flakes mixed in. Hopefully it stays as snow but i think it will turn sleety again soon.

[kold weather]

finally got sleet at last!!!

[EVENSTAR]

Rain Rain go away!That is all we ever get in Hunsdon in Herfordshire.Everywhere has snow but us!

[Thundery wintry showers]

Another light sleety flurry in Lancaster at lunchtime, since then nothing but rain.

[Stratos Ferric]

Well, every time I think it's stopped snowing it starts again. That's 20 hours non-stop now, though the thaw today has been surprising, especially at lower elevations. There are one or two bare patches in the field up here, but mainly where snow has blown off into drifts. it's still dry enough to be blowing a hoolie over the distant wall and contiuing to drift. I do, though, despair of ever seeing prolonged snow cover again.

[drgl]

[Kent Snow]

Woke up this morning to a small layer which had fallen overnight. Only 2cms. Disappointed really.

On the way to work at 0600, it started snowing all along A2 to Faversham.

Only a light snow shower during the day, but mostly it was of rain, not even sleet.

Driving home, a heavy snow shower between Fav and Canterbury. Started to settle on A2.

Left home and drove to Dover, with several heavy shower both there and back, plus to see a good 3 or so inches that my girlfriend has text me all day, saying "Snowing again" Took loads of photos.

Now snowing again in Canterbury, lovely fluffy flakes. Settling on grass, roofs but not paths and roads as not intense enough.

It snowed a lot in Chesterfield, 2 inches in our garden, but turned to rain this afternoon and now it's all melted. I went for a drive up into the Peak District and up on high ground I saw 4 foot drifts and roads unpassable. it was blizzard like up there with strong winds. Even so the temperature didn't seem that cold compared to say the blizzard of Jan 28 2004.

A mixture of rain, sleet and snow at times this morning.

Just recently, hail and snow showers have started up.

[Casper]

Woke up to some settled snow but nothing spectacular.It has been snowing nearly all day with sleet then rain .Currently snowing again maybe moreso when the sun sets hopefully bringing colder temps!
