Snow/wintry Precipitation Reports, February 11th 2006

[Triumph]

A fresh dusting (I mean really stingy dusting!) here this morning. It looks like someone used a sieve and icing sugar!

[dodge]

Just had a few falling flakes, but very light, and stopped as quickly as it started.

[Weather-history]

Snow falling in west Manchester

[John in the frozen north]

Had 1 1/2 hours of light snow giving a covering here in Hexham this morning (I was playing golf). Started at -2 finished at about zero. Unexpected?

John :o

[Dave Berry]

Wet snow falling here. Only light though.

[Stratos Ferric]

I thought it was getting misty: bugger me, on closer inspection it's very very heavy snow grains, i.e. snizzle: still, it's snow - with usual riser...but not as we used to know it Jim...

P.S. As I am under the green blob on Mr Murr's very slow download radar pic - I gave up in the end - it pleases me to report the radar is working well: snow intensity on the Stratos patent scale is now 1.25. and we now have what I thkink could quite legitimately be described as very light snow by those of a certain age, or a blizzard for those who don't remember anything before 1991. I may have to take a piccy...

And here it is...the snizzle blizzard: think we need a word for this one, snizzard?

...not it's not a plague of dung flies Os!

[Storm Animal]

About 30 mins of snow falling, giving a very light dusting. Has stopped now unfortuantely!

[multi cellular thunderstorm]

A few grains of snow spotted here.

Look at this though in Eskdalemuir, a nice little covering.

[Stuart]

had a bit of snow this morning but it all gone now

[Terminal Moraine]
