I can confirm we have had a slight flurry of snow. May be 5 minutes. 

I can also confirm I won't be doing a @jethro in it!

Such a lightweight!

They’ve got this weather front wrong. Fizzling out this morning my foot. I’m in the last part of Cornwall without snow but it’s down the road and heading this way. That’s a band at least 90 miles wide

Dont worry khodds the real action is just across the river im sure it will die of death soon enough 

Gone a little clouder here but no snizzle as yet.

So if the Sun's past the yard arm and it snows, does that mean we can expect a pic?

Off to work near Bristol, will report if anything is falling there, it's thick cloud in that direction so fingers crossed.

Never say never but the chances or it snowing after midday.....any day are slim unlike my waist

Actually to be strictly accurate I don't mind snow in small doses, it's cold I detest, a legacy from 62-63 and now I'm frail and in my dotage it makes me feel unwell, Time to give the violin a dusting me thinks.

I'll give you a hug to keep you warm :-)

Looks like it’s stalled now. Playing the radar a few frames back and forth shows it sliding southwards more than it’s advancing eastwards.

 

At least to my untrained eye!

That’s how it looks to me too Slinky. Definitely seems to be going more south in it’s movement. 

If only that main heavy band of snow was here then wow !!!

it will fizzle before it gets here though . Welsh mountains will kill it and main heavy precipitation will spilt in two. First half more north of us goes toward east Anglia, second half goes south of us to corneal Devon we will be left withvery very light if anything . I can just see it now happening . Hope to god I’m wrong though and we get loads

Facebook doing one of those reminder things today.....9 years ago today we woke to a foot of snow here. Still the best snow in all the years I've lived in these parts, would post the pic that came with the reminder but it's hubby streaking ;-)

Do it!!!! ... Just put a snow flake over his winkie :-)

[bellanite]

Few flakes falling here bit earlier than I expected!

Light flurry of snow in Basingstoke.

 

The closest we've come to anything significant in 5 years.

Noooo!!! So close but so far!

[Jayfromcardiff]

Like watching paint dry waiting for the first flake to fall.

Reminded hubby on FB....he kindly reminded me....at least I had the decency to add a modesty box to my snow madness.

Cheater! You got boots on!

[karlos1983]

I can’t see this breaking up like forecasted! Surely. Ok some break up perhaps but complete breakup looks unlikely to me. All sorts of bands merging together!

Enjoy! It won't be 9mm wide by the time it reaches me ...

Its the hope that kills you in the end!!!

[fromey]

Got a few flakes falling here, very light but the flakes seem a good size 

[khodds]

Are we sure it’s moving east? 

[A.J]

light snow here

 

edit....same as fromey, not many flakes but they're quite big
