Snow Depths

[johnholmes]

measured on the drive this morning at 16cm-the 3rd highest in over 50 years in the Doncaster area

[Paul Sherman]

Measured about 0.5cm here using my Big Toe as a General Measuring device

[Nick F]

Got around 7cm now, not as much as further W and NW in Surrey.

[Bobby]

About 4-5 inches here in the Welsh valleys.

[DeepSnow]

We had 1-2 inches here thismorning, thawing now a bit though

[Supacell]

23cm (9 inches) in the back garden at Queensbury, West Yorkshire at present, more than that in the fields higher up - over a foot in parts.

This is the level snow, drifts are deeper still.

[NW Leeds Russ]

Pudsey Leeds 575FT ASL

Grass 27cm Patio 23cm level.

[Maz]

Grass: 23cm (average)

Concrete: 20cm (average)

(Summerseat, 145m ASL)

On fell run on Holcombe Moor, encountered waist deep drifts (tiring to plough through), at 400mASL on Bull Hill.

[Nick L]

Got 5cm here, or 2 inches in old money

[andy_leics22]

5-6cm here.

[ScottSnow]

Around 1ft of snow here which is remarkable considering how that we are near the town centre and around 12 miles from the coast. Excellent three weeks of cold weather.

Yes this truly has been an exceptional spell of wintry weather for the North in particular, half my garden hasn't seen the light of day for nearly 3 weeks!

22cm here, 2cm fresh has fallen this evening now that the showers have started again. Very variable across Newcastle, some suburbs have a foot, some have closer to 4 inches whilst I have 8 inches.

[paul tall]

Only 12cm here last time I measured, having said that other parts of town only a mile away look to have nearer 20cm!

Heh "only" 12cm, "only" 21 days snow, poor me eh?

[Stargazer]

The snow finally stopped here in Reading about an hour ago after 24 hours of almost continuous snowfall. And the final tally...19cm on level grass, 16cm on the patio.

[NorthernRab]

Where snow has not been disturbed, 10 inches in Inverness with 19 inches just outside the city, drifts of 4 feet in parts.

[mountain shadow]

6 cm here. Not bad considering how far away i am from the main action.

[multi cellular thunderstorm]

Got 1ft of snow in Stanley.

Can't believe this is the 21st consecutive day of snowcover and we have a foot of snow and it's snowing now. With the cold set to continue surely we can manage a month of snowcover up here which is something I wouldn't have dreamt of before this winter!

[Terminal Moraine]

Average depth of undrifted snow here is 19.5cm. Buxton has about 24cm and at 140m around here there's 14cm.

Little fresh snow here recently. Today, is the 21st consecutive day with lying snow at 0900hr!

Average snow depth at 0900hr, 12cm in my garden and 6cm to 6.5cm in a nearby field. A fresh to strong northerly wind during the early hours caused lying snow in the fields to drift across the access road which runs east-west through Baintown, partially blocking the road this morning. Average depth of drifting snow, 57cm. Snowdrift max depth, 73cm- the deepest drifts since February 2001, which were much bigger!!

[Severe Blizzard]

Guildford, Surrey.

Snow depth was 9~12 cm at 11:30 am increasing to 15~17 cm by 6 pm.

These depths were taken as an average. There were a few pockets of 18 cm depths but seldom less than 15 cm away from treated roads and disturbed snow in gardens etc.

[ronant]

OXFORD - 16cm

[rbw]

Churchdown, Gloucester 5 inches

[J10]

Around 2-3 inches on grass, around 1-2 inches on pavements, around half an to inch compacted snow/ice on road.

[Thundery wintry showers]

My parents reported 15cm from Cleadon- and it's entirely believable given that depths oscillated between 9 and 12cm from New Year's Day until I left for Norwich, and they've had a good couple of inches from this afternoon/evening's snow showers. That is easily the deepest since at least February 1991 (I'm not sure of the exact depth Cleadon reached in February 1991, except that it was well over 10cm).

In Norwich just a paltry 3cm, but I sense there may be more to come, and of course it's in East Anglia and the SE where the cold continental air will hang on for longest.

[The Enforcer]

Approximately 18cm of level snow settled during the course of Tuesday evening and during the day on Wednesday. Quite remarkable.
