Lets just hope Cornwall may get in on the snow days this time .

Hope you all have enjoyed the snow while I was working in the rain :-(

If it makes you feel any better most of Dorset got it but not our part of Weymouth. You are not alone.

The wind didn't seem very significant either today, anyone else find that? Or did I have a generally calm spot?

Back home after an afternoon sledging with Nephew, Sister and his mates, today has made a 41 year old feel 10 again. I was taken back to 82 and 87 where fond memories of friends and family who are no longer with us put a smile on my face.

Light snow falling in Weston again

[kumquat]

After breaking down a bit, showers in the channel seem to be pepping up again towards Weston, and possibly Bristol, Bath

[Davey80]

Not bad here in Basingstoke - Snowing lightly now still - About 6 inches - We are in good spot for Sunday too.

Interesting... What does 100ml equate to do you know?

[❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️]

I know its going to be cloudy tonight, but imagine a completely clear, completely calm night. -15C quite possible

Interesting... What does 100ml equate to do you know?

depends what you're equating....snow = 10 cm?.....Whisky = a pleasant buzz?....lol

[sherrie]

been snowing quite heavily here for the past hour, lovely big proper flakes but not setteling because its too wet everywhere. Still nice to see it floating down.

[TheHumph]

It's been a remarkable day really. The culmination of a week or more chart viewing highs and anguish. Very easy to be blase about this event. I have probably witnessed bigger snow events as a younger man but taken them for granted. Perhaps they mean more as you get older (50 this April!). Or maybe the gin is starting it's work!

That'll be the lights of Bristol LOL

But you're right - might squeeze a little more out of this setup!

Is there anymore snow due tonight in my area? Or will it all be gone by morning :-(

[snow-witch]

Absolutely fantastic day! Just love the snow! All arrived as forecast in fact the forecasting was spot on! Well done to the met men! and many thanks to all the clever and entertaining folk on here who seemed to produce the right charts at the right time and kept the anticipation going. Fingers crossed that the good people of Cornwall get a massive fall before the Winter's out. There is still so much to play (pray) for!

[tomhow]

Walked home from work now. Surprising amount of slush still on the main roads and traffic very light. Thermometer says 0C give or take, but might have to dig the snow off it for a better reading. I reckon 3-4 inches here just east of Soton, but very hard to judge accums as always. Just cleared nearly 100mm off the observatory roof (roll off shed, not dome) which if 1mm rain = 10mm snow means around 75kg of weight and I don't trust my workmanship that much.

Snowing again

[cerneman]

Light snow at moment, Could be few more showers showing on radar above Yeovil heading down Dorset

[iowpompeylee]

The snow in my area will not be beaten for a long long time.a quite extraordinary day...I should now retire from netweather and relinquish my obsession with snow................thank you all......mind you Sunday looks full of potential...on to the next run :-)

[A.J]

NMM12z output is interesting for some of us, the hi-res output shows light to moderate snow pushing up from the South East to affect Wilts, east Dorset & Hampshire...as has been posted earlier, one to watch!

[Karl83]

Well, great day today - managed to get some sledging done and in some of the fields next to the M4 the depths of snow are 15cm+, probably from the drifts but still.... truely amazing.

Been below 0 all day and currently at -1.7c. Looking forward to more snow in the next week I hope and maybe some extremely low temps. Hope those who haven't managed too much snow get more too!

EDIT: Light snow at the mo. The reflection of the street lights onto the snow and onto the cloud looks real nice.
