Morning all. Got up about half an hour ago. No snow in Arborfield (near Reading), and no frost either. Temperature was +2c when I got up but fallen to + 1.3c now. Not hopeful of seeing any snow now.

[SNOW CRYSTAL]

Morning. Hmmm.... Well there's no street lights here but the trampoline has a thin layer of something on it, I'm guessing it's icy sleet, which still seems to be falling. Not too much to get excited about. However it's a vague white colour so I'll take that. Hope there are pleasant surprises out the this morning.

[Wilxy]

Just got up ready for work and while I was waking up there was moderate snow falling outside still quite wet snow and only left a icy mess on my car!

 

0.9°C

95%

Dew P 1°C

 

More wintry showers heading this way as well.

[Mark Neal.]

Snowing here a little from that big clump out west.

[Barbel]

Snow showers, a bit settled now heavy rain is washing away. Fun anyway.

[Raidan]

Got up this morning expecting to see a decent layer of snow but instead it's just a thin layer of slush and now raining.

[festivalking]

Nothing settled here if indeed we had much snow. About to take the dog out for a walk. Will get up to 300 metres so will see if the snow line is up there.

[A.J]

a slushy dusting.......meh

[Chris K]

Same here. If it snowed I missed it

[Mark Parsons]

Just rain and snow mix here,suprised anything snow like even fell out of the sky on a strong westerly, anyway more chances to come over the next six weeks or so!!

[karlos1983]

It's tipping it down here, with a mixture of rain, sleet and Chunky wet snow flakes. Woke a few times but the showers seemed to miss here, but going from what others have said, it would likely have nothing anyway.

[chris55]

No snow at 70 meters up, will drive over the top to work to see feat it's like at 600 feet. Hopefully well get done proper snow as we head through the rest of Jan. Was never really convicted snow from a marginal westerly was going to produce much lol.

[Mark Neal.]

Blink and your miss it shower. No covering. Just a sleet/wet snow for about 5 minutes.

[ARTDEMOLE]

Light covering on grass and roads along with snow on cars and rooftops. Snowing as I post. 0.7c. DP -1.1c. Pressure  991.5 hpa. Breeze 5 km/h.

[snowdog]

Oh well nothing exciting here.There was thunder and lightning about 11pm last night and a hail shower then all I could hear was rain.

[Wynn D Woo]

Woo woo woke up at 4am to see it snowing and we had a good2-3cm covering over everything. Sadly it has melted back since from the roads and pavements but still a light covering on the grass and cars. First lying snow for Gloucester since 18th Jan 2013. And first lying snow I have seen since February 2013.

Now for the wind storm boo!!

[textmum]

Yep we have a light covering here too, none at 3 a.m., but understand it was a good cover at 4 a.m. Not enough to play in.

[dancing daisy]

Well that was rubbish for us.  I woke up to the rain battering down at 4am.

This morning, not even a frost.

[Mark Neal.]

Down to 0.4c under clear spells now after the earlier sleet/snow flurry.

[knocker]

Clear sky at the moment with temp 4.7C wind WNW 22mph gusting 50. Had a thunderstorm yesterday evening and last nights Camborne ascent is a good example of a cold unstable airstream with the tropopause down to 400mb.

 

[MPG]

Well that was rubbish for us.  I woke up to the rain battering down at 4am.

This morning, not even a frost.

Did you really expect a frost? Temperatures were never forecast to go down to freezing.

 

Lots of over night rain and hail showers. Lowest temp 1.9. As predicted a very wet affair.

[lettice]

Quite a few reports in Southampton, Bournemouth and Blandford on local radio of some snow flakes this morning.

 

We had a short heavy rain shower late evening and some thunder.

No sleet or snow.

Just drizzly rain here now 3.2c
