So, anyway.. Wet snow = snowman-building material. Dry snow = lovely to walk in.

What a lovely picture! ??

[Andy Bown]

Surprised by the intensity of the snow as the front swept through. A covering on most surfaces which is melting now.

Please can I request that people think before quoting whole long posts. David's info is superb but having read it once it's annoying to have it quoted in its entirety!

Jumped the gun, I suspect. There will be nowt for a while. Still, it was heavy for  a bit.

We were going to a garden centre and then decided not a good idea to wander around in the cold. It can wait til early next week.

My question is will the barnstaple snow dome be in place again? Last time we hardly got a covering.. It was embarrassing ? 

[Leon1]

*another snow shower passes by*

[Ashme]

Big heavy flakes here, really windy too ??

I hope I can say this without rendering myself or netweather liable to a libel case, because he did actually say it, but I'll spare his blushes and not mention his name:

In March 2000 a senior person at the CRU (UEA) said that "within a few years Winter snowfall will be a thing of the past" and that "children just aren't going to know what snow is".

Roll on 18 years............??

Haven’t you guys got your upgraded warnings yet?

i guess they must be re ordering the red felt tips as they used them all up two weeks ago!

Big flakes of snow here in Cosham at the moment. Melting immediately upon impact though.

[dryjoy]

Wow, big flakes and lots of ‘em all of a sudden here in Winterborne Kingston. 

[karlos1983]

Ok moderate snow here now. Bigger flakes too. ? pretty windy as well so it’s blowing around! Lovely to see I think lol

[TropicThunder]

Proper heavy snow here but struggling to settle unfortunately. 

[OldBloke]

Just started snowing hard on the east side of Dartmoor. Large flakes and windy too (12.09pm)

[Derecho]

Heavy snow in southampton with some bigger flakes this time, covering the surfaces of grass though paths and roads are fine at the moment.

Quite picturesque though

[Duane S.]

Nice to see the band intensifying. Let’s see if the snow can make it over the Ridgeway then.

[DanDorsetUK]

Much bigger flakes in Bournemouth than last time!

WOW make that HUGE flakes whiteout!!!

Well, I think it's time to get some housework done now, then I can come back for the big event later tonight with  a clear conscience. May even try to have a bit of a nap this afternoon so that I can try for an all-nighter! ?

[matt111]

Just started snowing here.
