[Terminal Moraine]

Continuous light freezing drizzle from about 2200 yesterday to 0800 today has covered all surfaces in about 3-5 mm of clear ice and up to 35 mm on the windward sides of trees etc above 300m. The drizzle turned to light snow by 0845 and this is still falling.

Dozens of minor ( and a few not so minor ) traffic accidents in this area as the roads are like glass.

[Stargazer]

Another 5cm of snow overnight to add to the 10cm or so remaining from last week. The snow's very fine but persistent - it's just stopped snowing here at work in Basingstoke. Temperature just above freezing after an overnight low of -0.3.

So far I've measured a total of 38cm for the season, which for me beats 1981/2 when I was living in Southampton and missed the heaviest of the snowfall - so it's probably the most I've seen since 1978/9.

[stormforce 10]

deep thawing snow and slush. cold outside temp 2.1c and raining lightly. had 13hrs of heavy snow yesterday, was a brilliant snow event, havent seen the likes for quite a few years. :lol:

[Osbourne One-Nil]

0.1º here and flakes of snow floating about in the wind, but otherwise a pretty dismal day which is making even me a bit grumpy.

The temp here has staggered up to +0.4C, from a low of -0.1C, dewpoint is currently -1.4C; still with the odd spot of light drizzle. This after a night of very very light drizzle freezing on impact with all horizontal surfaces and some vertical ones. The effect was much more pronounced as I drove into the higher SW suburbs of Sheffield. Trees completely iced over the snow they still held, one or two branches broken.

The unusual cold spell continues.

There are parts of the western outskirts of Sheffield into the Derbyshire Peak that have had snow lying well over 3 weeks now.

[Terminal Moraine]

Continuous light snow since about 0845 and thick freezing fog since early this morning. The rime and glaze from a combination of freezing fog and drizzle is quite impressive above 300m.

Temp' is -1.6c and has moved just one tenth of a degree since 0700.

7 inches of level snow at 600 feet. 2 of the inches fell overnight.

Patchy melting snow at lowest levels. 6 foot drifts in some higher exposed parts with an avalanche blocking half of the carriage way of the higher part of the coastal road during yesterday morning which was cleared by a buldozer during the afternoon.

[Stargazer]

[Snowyowl9]

Last night was windy with fine snow and drifting,massive drifts now can get caught out in a

field now and then you hit a load of drifts,so much snow about so deep in the fields.

Can`t say how there was exactly as it`s blown about,maybe another 3inches as a guess.

Snow today which did finally ease off,just back to very light odd grains,wind dropped off drifting earlier.

Max -0.0c but noticed it was trying to thaw middle part of the day wet on gates for eg.

Freezing again now and dull -0.7c this cold is very strong -2c upper air now.

It`ll start thawing friday this is going to be slow to go.
