Well some of you have seen more than me!

 

Had a shower on Thursday morning which was snowy but pathetic!

 

That's me lot!!

Most of us still haven't seen a flake including me, only ground above say 200M got some snow, and no more than an inch i believe, i think you got quite lucky to see some snow fall considering your in the east and it was a westerly flow.

I haven't been outside but after looking at the beautiful frost patterns on the bathroom skylight window I'm pretty sure that it's a Brrrrrrrrrr sort of morning.

[iand61]

Clear start and -3c.

Looka like a nice winters day and with at least the chance of the odd snow shower thrown in for good measure.

Certainly a day to wrap up warm for the footy though.

[Weather-history]

Icy with freezing fog.

More air frosts than the last meteorological winter. Incredible how bad that winter was for any form of wintriness.

Ooh a lovely crisp frosty start to the day, suspect temperatures will take some time to climb above freezing. We are forecast snow showers as well through the rest of the morning into the afternoon - which would be a real bonus.

 

Lakeland Fells look wonderful.

 

Current temp - -2 degrees.

Had another one of those mysterious white glows in the clouds last night, at about 01:15 and lasted for a good half hour. I know it wasn't the moon that caused this and it's not the first time I've seen one either. Has anyone else seen these?

Yes I have caught a couple of these on my night time lapses.

Which direction was the photo taken?

Here is one of the occurrences during the early hours of 28th September

[Weather-history]

I was facing south-west on this one.That is the usualy direction they seem to appear for me.

Looking to the NW and the glow in that instance would be north.

Freezing icy white here with cloud coming in

[Will Padz]

Looking over glossop this morning..... Ice everywhere very slippery....

[itsnowjoke]

Lovely frost this morning its that white I thought it had snowed when I opened the curtains.

-2c here brrrrr

[damianslaw]

Sorry to rub it in, but it is currently snowing here, lovely white fluffy flakes - a larger blob of precipitation is heading our way full of snow.

[pip22]

Its frosty outside and no sign of any showers here. :-(

I'm done here for any wintry weather until after Xmas. Hopefully after Xmas.

[Will Padz]

-2c fog has given white coat to everything....looks so lovely.... Plus the sleet/ rain from last night has given sheet ice everywhere... Just fed the birds and attempted to break ice on bird bath...

[damianslaw]

The best snowfalls are the surprise ones, this is one of them, sky is full of large fluffy snowflakes and in the space of 5 minutes everything is now coated white.

 

I will stop now..

Looks like you hit the jackpot there.

Same here ,very hard frost nice though !!..

[iand61]

Just driven over the tops from Bacup to Burnley and there is a covering of snow above about 350m.

Only a couple of inches but enough to add a sharp clarity to the landscape.

On the opposite side of Burnley, Pendle Hill looked fantastic with the snow line about half way up and further north again, the Yorkshire Dales were crystal clear.

Just s shame I didn't have my decent camera with me and haven't got time to get out this afternoon as it's not often the views are as good.

Apparently we had a hail shower this morning and it got very icy, i was too busy sleeping.

[pip22]

Raining here now melting the frost, marking the end of the cold snap here.

On the models front, there is a few agreements that the cold returning by Xmas. I don't know whether it verify or not, its difinatly one to watch though.

The winter is coming, but it will hold for now.

Gravel on my drive was frozen together like chocolate rice crispies this morning !!...

[robbo88]

I live on a side of a big hill called werneth low. I think it's 250m at the top. It was -1 and sunshine clear skies at my house went over the hill at 8:30 cos my work is the other side. And I descended into thick fog yet the temp rose to 0oc.

I find it amazing how the weather can be so different in such a short distance.

Apart from snow chilly sunny days are my second best winter weather!

On our drive back from Glasgow this morning it was still managing to snow quite heavily on the higher parts of the M6 and the outside lane was not in use in some places.  Now back in Bacup  there are wintery showers but mainly just cold and damp! 

It was worth the drive to Glasgow just to see this hills absolutely plastered and glittering in the winter sun.

that's nothing. Often at this time of year the temperature can be six or 7° here on the coast, whereas just 3 miles inland itcan be below freezing. it annoys me that after a mild night here with not a hint of a frost,I can get up the next day and hear people talking about what a harsh frost it had been just afew miles inland.
