Talk about gutted last night. I was out for evening and was looking forward to walking home in the snow. I become unwell and had to come home early where I promptly went to bed. Got up this morning and wow! A nice dumping here in Poole. I honestly didn't expect that. It looks so lovely. I'm going to have to go through the thread and read the excitement from earlier lol

Don’t worry the snow didn’t really get going until about 3-4am ?

hope your feeling well enough to do a  snow angel ?.

A light covering here in Exeter overnight, which will mean some decent accumulation up on the hills. However, the main band of ppn is now heading our way so we could see something significant in the next few hours. What unexpected fun!

I'm going to explode. This streamer setting up in the channel is brilliant and soooo unexpected ?? @matt111 you must be getting as well.??

Yes the Met Office has us down for 11 hours of heavy snow from 9am! I am assuming this is on account of how slow moving the system is

[Andy Bown]

Varying depths between 1-4 inches depending on the surface and falling fast with plenty more to come! Snow events like London buses!

What radar are you using for this? How long could this go on for???  

[Jayfromcardiff]

Very slow moving too today so could dump alot of snow if you're caught under the streamer.

[karlos1983]

Devon/Cornwall look to Cherbourg, your fun is building nicely

Net weather radar. How long? No idea, should have stopped and it is absolutely chucking it down. ?????@divadee you must be getting this?

[Jayfromcardiff]

Huge flakes now.

[Man With Beard]

4 to 5 centimetres here, except on roads which are a bit slushy. That was pretty much at the top of my expectations. Looks like a fun day throughout the SW, and maybe more tonight for me!

[offerman]

Don’t you just love it when you see already heavy snow albeit small flakes and then the occasional massive one falls within and then more and more starts falling until everything is massive flakes falling around.

 

 

 

[lettice]

Woke up to 1.5 to 2.5 inches on fences, pots, roofs, sheds, greenhouse, walls and soil, but the paths only held a heavy dusting, may have been too warm.
Just started snowing again here heavily, small flakes.

Lowest temp overnight was 0c at midnight and -1.0c at 4am
Now  -0.3c, dewpoint -1.5c, ENE 5-12mph, 1005 hPa

We have small but heavy snow. It was unexpected. It should of been stopping but yet it still comes. It's an exciting day. 

[matt111]

Snowing heavily now with big flakes. 

[Polar Bear]

Think we maybe clearing soon, as it moves up and slightly more west. Definitely seems to be a nice streamer setting up in the channel for some to the west. You are in for some heavy continuous snow.  Just waiting now to hear  about some power cuts. Won’t be long now? 

[ThundersnowDays]

Just woken up to loads of snow and it's it's still snowing heavily with big flakes

[karlos1983]

Just had a measure up 8cm. So roughly 3 inches ?❄️

[divadee]

Bigger flakes have started coming down. Loving this Sunday action. 

[Leon1]

Big flakes! Heavy! Lots! Everywhere! Sorry for how hopeless I was about last night when it wasn't settling but it has now!?

[nettie]

Morning everyone , I just woke up to this to be honest was expecting much but wow what a surprise it actually looks prettier than last time. 

[matt111]

I wouldn’t be surprised if I’ve ended up with more than last time as I had a fairly low total compared to most here then.
