Still heavy snow falling in Leigh On Sea which is about 9 miles from the guy who has a rainfest in Linford, amazing differences!

'Real' marginality on this one..

Slithers of milder sectors.  

Still snowing here!!

Utterly amazing here, our best since 2010 without question!

Not been out to measure yet but it must be between 5-8cms and to think were meant to get only rain!!

All this onto soaking wet surfaces too :cold:

It's flipped between rain and sleet over the past couple of days but I woke up to this forecast for later today which has now downgraded

What was the forecast for 9am? - that is for later so how can you know yet, there is still a long line of precipitation stretched over Ireland to come

I'm chuffed to see so many people in the region getting proper snow! Jealous, obviously, but nice that it's not just been hogged by regions that do better than we usually do.

Morning all :)

Here in lowland East Ham, we've also had snow. As Mrs Stodge won't let me out to measure the bin, I'd say an inch has settled on the colder surfaces such as cars.Less on the warmer ground at this time. Steady light sleet and snow falling now.

Best snow fall since 2013 without question but a long way behind Dec 2010 and Feb 2009 in terms of depth !!

it's lovely to see that so many of you have snow, it's so frustrating knowing it's only landing a few miles away and we have nothing at all.

Forecast for this morning was for rain, so totally expected. I'll be delighted if we get something proper later but not holding my breath. Temps slowly creeping down, though.

HOW HAS THIS HAPPENED?

At 5am it was mushy sleet, not settling, and the snow line was moving further north, with rain forecast for today.

Now it's thick covered white snow everywhere and forecast to only get to 1 degree.

Forecasting gone wrong!

So your forecast was for rain and you got rain, lol. That's not really a downgrade then is it? Good luck for later though.
