Still got more than half cover, though its very wet and wont be around much longer if these rain showers keep piling in. A close call, but 2014 is out of thee no lying snow club.

Snow in shrewsbury you do surprise me,none on low ground around here,only go a few yards down the hill from here its green.

Had a heavy sleet turned to snow shower earlier which didn`t stick.

Temp is 2.7c

Thought I'd re-write a certain Christmas Band Aid song, which sums up the mood on this forum. 

 

Sung by the 'haves' to the 'have-nots' :-D

Nearly gone now, but yes there was. Very strange to have the rain turn to snow in the exact spot where the opposite normally happens: that slope on the A5 at Welington. That was the case at 8.30 last night.

Showers today nearly all of rain with sleety bits here and there.

Lmao - Priceless

Proper cheered me up that has!

[Will Padz]

7cm snow last night.... Ice everywhere.... Got keys to new house this morning, padfield extremely icy.... Drove over to chapel.... Very pretty when everythings blanketed in white.... Not got above freezing here.... Cold one tonight.... Fog/mist looking quite eerie...

[I remember Atlantic 252]

2.0C now, signs of a slow thaw, could do with skies clearing after 4pm, lot of ice around

[Terminal Moraine]

Just spent two hours digging out to the road ( with the help of a couple of neighbours ) and I must say the snow was very dense and heavy but without being watery. Many shrubs and bushes are bent double with the weight of accumulated snow.

[Staffordshire]

very similar here mark

Just think a couple days ago you had banished any hope of snow ay

Bigger showers heading your way now,snowing here and settling about time.

[Summer of 95]

Very wet snow in this shower, ground is now sodden so will have a hard job sticking

[Dancerwithwings]

Yes if them showers make it this far i'm sure they will be of rain, maybe a little sleet if they are heavy! But of Snow, can't see it myself as Dew's are the wrong side of 0c.

 

Currently 3.3c, DP 2.1C and Overcast.

[Serendipity]

raining here 

[Gord]

Showers have finally reached here.

And it's rain.

Just been up Beacon Hill in Sedgley with the dog. Quite a bit of slushy snow cover up there with people attempting to sledge on it!

Yes, today was always forecast to be less cold with NW wind, do not expect the snow to last the day, dunno how its managed to not rain, expecting rain later

[Dancerwithwings]

LOOking at the lastest Radar, Defo plain old rain and cold rain at that :smiliz46: http://www.raintoday.co.uk/mobile Now what would be nice would be some showers just like them off the yorkshire coast!

Some bright echoes in them, now if they were incoming i'm sure they would have alot more winter-ness to them.

[Gord]

Looking on the bright side. This is still a better start to winter than the last 2 years (possibly 3 years...can't remember what happened December 2011!). For here anyway...don't think I can speak for everyone as I think some of you had an OK start to December 2012.

[Snowyowl9]

Got an extra covering of snow from all those showers some really heavy,wind is more west than north.

2c colder and today would be equal to Christmas day 2004 in temps.

There is an advantage with milder sea temps more showers.
