Hi Ross,

Sod all up here yet...How are you keeping??

Uh-oh, somebody needs a memory boost! I'm great thanks, hope you are too.

The snow has got really heavy here, about 4in on every surface with big flakes, it's been snowing like this for about an hour. The sky is orange, looks full of it. Every surface is covered, including the main roads, even though the gritters have been out.

About 1cm of snow here in the new forest following the first ice day for a couple of years. Still snowing lightly.

[Hiya]

2 cm on the ground and still falling moderately in Glasgow city centre

[Spurry]

Seems to be getting warmer here 'it's now -1.3c thats a half degree rise in an hour, hopefully it will stay sub zero and we'll see plenty of snow , but i know from experience that if it's gonna turn to rain it usually does it sooner rather than later here

[M'Lady]

Not only is snow falling, it is settling... sorry to post two reports in a short space of time... but this is so rare in my little part of the world.

[coolkitten12]

Its been snowing snowing in Pompeym Portsmouth for around an hour Not very thick. Has slightly settled

[webwisewords]

Well, it seems my naked snow dance did the trick. It's been snowing in Blackpool for about an hour. Very light flakes. Growing in volume although not size. My extremeties may have dropped off from frostbite, but at least it's snowing now, which in this town is a flaming miracle!!!!

[raritas]

Carlisle has just started with the snow!

[SnowJoke]

Just started to snow lightly in Milton Keynes about 5 mins ago, not looking very heavy on the old radars but what ever falls will lay as it's below freezing and we still have about 2cm of lying snow on the grass ect from tuesdays showers

[Snowdrifts]

A few flakes also just starting to fall here.

[derbyshire_lad]

clearly can see some flakes falling now

[Cheeseburger]

Moderate snow in Morecambe. Has given a covering in 10 mins. I dont think it will last though looking at the radar and local obs say it 1.2oC

[The Enforcer]

Finally a few very light flakes blowing in the wind.

[Ross B]

A few snowflakes at the moment, just ben down to the Troon and it's still falling as snow there however there snow cover has melted.

Here there is a healthy 2-3cm covering , must of snowed heavy at times. I never saw it as i was out for dinner though

[Tim B]

Been snowing lightly on and off here in Darwen ever since about 7:30 PM.

There is a slight dusting on the ground at the moment but nothing more.

Its the second wave of westerly that will bring all the snow as long as the easterly stands its ground....which at the moment it is doing.

[Shiny_Bottom_1]

Have had about an hour of light snow pellets now. A slight dusting on the ground, but not enough to make things like white.

[Mondy]

Snowing for the past hour..everything newly whitened on top of the previous 2 days' hard frost..lovely

[Gas Ed]

Just back from pub. Another 1cm of snow to add to the 0.5cm that hasn't melted from the localised fall on Tuesday evening.

Temp +0.1 at 18:00 when going out, Temp now +0.8 on arrival home.

First signs of snow melt just starting to kick in.

Not expecting anymore but you never know....

[optrex]

Its stopped snowing now. After 2 hours of "continuous" snow there is little more than a light dusting, possibly upto 1mm in places, but nothing to shout about yet. Certainly nothing more on the radar until the second band in a few hours, but that is more likely to be rain as the temps increase
