Awesome

I don't Adam n Eve this, it's actually intensifying as it moves towards Oxford! So many times i've seen snow fizzle out or turn lighter just before it reaches my location. Both up in Leicester and down here!

Oh it's on it's way Mark give it another 5 mins and I expect to see the first flurries!

This is gonna fall on frozen ground too. Ground was frosty and icy when I cycled back from Radley at 11:30pm!

Forming into a complete line of yellow echoes.

Look at those streamers going right back to the Cheshire gap! Very hit and miss of course. Amazing how that tough has kept its intensity. Let's hope the one over Barrow does the same. Eyes North!

Snowing!!

[andy_leics22]

Ooohya beauty, it's hammering it down with snow now

[Mark Neal.]

5p sized flakes hehe

[lfcdude]

light snow starting here

[kumquat]

Oh you bastards in Oxford well chuffed for ya - and even lfcdude getting in on the action!

[snowgeek]

stopped here now but that streamer behind is aligning pretty well for my location! no doubt will be pretty transient tho....

[Mark Neal.]

Yes lovely currently a little dusting so far, looks to be pushing through the back end of the showers quicker, slow down! 

[snowgeek]

and just as i said that its started again!

yeah this has moved through pretty quickly

Kumquat if it makes you feel any better we have rain/sleet here and nothing settled! Temps were just not low enough here, gutted. Hey ho might get some settling snow at some point this year. Right off to bed.

[andy_leics22]

Wow, this is proper snowfall now! Not seen it this heavy in a few years. 50p sized flakes now, coming down at a rate of knotts!

[Mark Neal.]

OMFG!!! 50P SIZED FLAKES. some of the biggest I've ever seen, i'm not even joking. Wow. Pics coming.

and i think i can see the slow slide of snow cover on a distant windscreen, temp must had risen a fraction here

[lfcdude]

All pretty much just missing me right on edge light.. hopefully sailsbury plane intratect's with it...

I'm looking forward to the *potential* over the next few days. To see yet another unmodelled (well not to that degree) snowfall and knowing how these things can crop up out of the blue, I'm feeling pretty chipper

 

I'm also going ALL IN on anything I see cropping up and that makes me happy!

[andy_leics22]

This is fantastic. Everywhere is white now, roads, pavements, cars etc...

It'll probably stop in about 20 minutes but this has made up for some of the disappointments this Winter! Most of it will have melted by midday tomorrow but I couldn't give a monkeys

[Mark Neal.]

Some pics. Just as the big flakes started coming down.

 

 

  

 

Still coming down now.

Got some snow coming down in Abingdon, Oxfordshire at the moment. First time I've seen settling snow since March 2013. I love how the night-time light levels have instantly increased outside now there's a nice dusting on the ground. Makes it much easier to watch the falling snow . Currently have a steady temperature of 0.6/0.7 but no evidence of melting at all so far.

Look at the streamer going back from our current clump. Aside from the fact that there are two of them stretching that far. The one to the west is now reaching across the Irish Sea into Northern Ireland. It's sticking out a branch towards the Isle of Man, which is interacting with the clumpy trough coming through the Borders into Northern England. As the Northerly flow becomes straighter over the weekend, I'd expect these troughs and waves to go straighter south. And once they set up there's no telling what they'll do. Especially once subjected to open bodies of water. It's quite exciting. We'll see some weird stuff going on, especially with regards to how these anomalies interact with each other.

 

Snow or No, I'll be watching.

[andy_leics22]

Wow, 2-3cm that heavy shower has left behind. Not bad for something totally unexpected! Managed to get a few pics. Nearly fell flat on my ar*e walking back into my driveway though

I think there could be a clash of the titans over Central UK heading at London area about 8am. A little snow when I wake up too.

[Mark Neal.]

Stopped now but left a good 2cm or so. Big flakes. A welcome surprise. Worth staying up till 3:30am.

Light snow here leaving a dusting so far, rather dry snow too which is surprising.

[kumquat]

The trough that kept on giving. If this is what we can expect over the next few days - I'm defo ALL IN!
