o my lord just looked out the window and its chucking it down (snow of course ) katie you were right!!!!!!! I thought i was gonna look out and see nothing, but to my surprise, very heavy

Reminds me of last year when i had to walk up my hill pulling a sledge with my sisters boyfriends birthday present. A wooden table football table, hardest 10 minutes of my life!

Light snow here too, often heavier bursts in 5-10 minute spells. Some breaks in the sky. Weather vane pointing NE, hoping we might not be out of the woods yet.

[mackerel sky]

Getting a lot lighter, with an illuminated orange sky - so a heavier spell on the cards. Hopefully this will be the one to finally cover the grass completely, 3cm at one stage, surprisingly lost about 1cm over the past 1/2-1hr.

Here (University College Northampton), it is snowing fairly heavily. It's a bit erratic. Snower about an hour ago and stopped. Now it's started up again. I think perhaps it will hold for a bit longer now.

Watch this space. Im going out with my tape measure to measure the snow on the path.

[evanmorgan]

i had a look at my steps im thinking about an inch, maybe a bit less just a guess

[wild turkey maz]

I hope you're right mate!! Bigger flakes now...

[mackerel sky]

Cherry, it's erratic here too about 15 miles further east. A reasonable covering but keeps coming in fits and starts. Got a heavy spell now, but they only seem to last 10 minutes - then you think that's your lot - then it starts up again. At no point however has it stopped snowing since 10.45pm.

[jcee]

Still snowing here...about 15-17cm lying at present!

I have got 2cm of snow on the path and its still snowing moderately. The temperature is 1C / 34F and Ive got a sore bum from falling over in the snow. OUCH!

Evanmorgan I hope your hill has a grit box, you will need it.

[Cherry_And_White]

Mackerel, at the moment here we have the odd token snowflake now. It's almost entirely stopped :shock: Should think some more will be here soon going on the pattern so far

:roll:

[Tim B]

We have a few centimetres here from before, It has all frozen, It sounded like I was walking accross glass when I went out on it just now.

Very slippery indeed, Not good for driving or walking on for that matter, If we get more snow on the top of it (Which I'm pretty sure we will), Then it could be very tricky indeed.

Hi everyone just had a snow shower here right on the south coast of England . Southampton !

[mackerel sky]

Haven't had any radar updates since 11.45pm, so I'm not sure whether we're seeing more showery stuff pushing in from the NW, or catching the eastern edge of the heavier stuff coming down from Lincolnshire at times. Got a NE'ly wind here, switching from a NW at 6pm so can't really confirm at the minute. All this precipitation will be out of the way by 6am, then a respite before something potentially colder and more severe comes in?

Heavier burst of snow again, then lighter stuff. Wind is certainly picking up though.

[KT]

Its still snowing moderately. Please can somebody explain to me why the sky looks deep red?????????????

[Tim B]

The deep red is most likley light pollution being reflected off large concentrations of snow inside the cloud.

sounds promising

[Paul Sherman]

ITS SNOWING !!! Finally 130am in East Essex, covering cars and roofs.

[Kent Snow]

Snow showing signs of getting a little heavier here. Dusting on cars right now.

[mackerel sky]

The 2 or 3 cm here is starting to thaw now. I expected much colder air behind this front? I think we might be knackered.
