at 2355 we just had a sudden fall of 1cm large soft hail - rather like mini snowballs. Started to give a covering but now skies are clearing to my North.

just got back from work nearly an hour ago.

here in exeter we had a prolonged shower of about 30 mins at 1830ish, which simply melted away. however we had another light one at around midnight, and although it lasted but 10 mins, left a dusting on cars, grass and rooftops.

looking at the 15 min radars there are showers flirting with Dartmoor up the road, so hoping they may pay us another visit!

it's ridiculously cold aswell, -3.7oC as i write, so any precip will stick like glue!

gonna wait it out another hour or so to see what happens...

Light snow beginning to fall here and stick to surfaces.

We've already got a dusting which isn't really measurable in terms or cms though.

I've had reports myself of 6 to 8inches of snowfall overnight across SW Wales; Camarthenshire, Ceredigion etc. Transport is severely affected..

Light snow just beginning to fall here in Dublin. Temp. -0.5c. Just heard on BBC that 3cm had fallen in Belfast in the last hour - hoping this is moving south!

:shock: :shock: Just got up and we have lying snow in Jersey. As far as I know this is the first time in years. Its not much but its on roofs, some of the rocky headlands, around the beach and on cars. Super convection taking place all around too!

Few inches of snow lying, sun coming out also now a few flurries.

[WeatherGod]

Snowing moderately..

[Hywel]

got a covering of 1cm here, most came down in one big blizzard 2 hours ago. Villages to my west are reporting up to 4 inches, which is icy as well and is making driving very difficult with some roads closed

[du_snow]

Snowing lightly here atm

[J10]

Very heavy snow here, probably about 4-5 inches, Heavy Snow also down to sea level Swansea beach has around 2 inches of level snow, I have got some photos, will try to download later.

Road conditions atrocious and most schools closed,

I think I chose the right day to have off work. [prebooked]

[tasty_snacks]

woke up a while ago, bizzarre scene. everything was covered in snow, though only a dusting. usually you'd expect onlyto see it on cars and rooftops, but it was also on the roads and pavements, grass and trees. and no - it isn't a frost!!!

we had a flurry 15 mins ago, but again very light, temp 0.4oC

[SP1986]

moderate dry snow leaving a thin covering here

[WeatherGod]

Snowing moderate-heavily again

[cold snap]

Very slight dusting here in Dublin,cant complain,brought a tear to my eye.snowing at the moment temperature rising, melting has begun.tonight hopefully better.

[Kerwin]

another inch or so overnight, roads are hell. Local forecast expecting another 4-8cm :shock:

[A Gower Guy]

Starting to snow again here now, and most schools in the Swansea and Carmarthenshire areas are closed (not all but it seems most are).

[du_snow]

Blizzard here- instant settling, about a cm already!

[A Gower Guy]
