Snow showers becoming heavier as the morning went little of the sunshine so the snow has a lot of pollution in it which is why it's melting even at -1.8C. Finally got a full covering but only a few millimeters which probably go very quickly in a few minutes as the sun comes out and temperatures lift

Max temp -0.6C, now -2.2C low -2.2C, Barometer 1016mb steady, Wind F4 E, Rainfall 0.4mm melted snow.

A day of sunshine and snow/soft hail showers got a slight covering,just been observed the first proper drifting on the field in the last snow shower.

Old snowdrifts, snow drifted off that 12 metres away from the entire drift interesting to see.

A very cold and windy day with sunny intervals and frequent showers of snow and soft hail, the showers becoming heavy at times later this afternoon with drifting. Only a slow accumulation of the snow before mid afternoon due to slight thawing in the sunny intervals and thawing from beneath with the ground unfrozen.

A mix today of sunny spells and snow showers, the snow persistent early this evening and giving a little dusting.

Feeling bitterly cold in the wind, but there is a warmth in the sun when out.

Just back in, a quite snowy Doncaster, starting to freeze on the roads as well. Two fairly marked blizzards late afternoon and again into the evening, blowing snow and visibility less than 200 m at times. Still only 1 cm or so. Perhaps the most wintry weather in terms of snow falling and being whipped up by a strong wind that I have seen in a very long time, other than when on my annual skiing holidays. 

Current temperature -1.1 C having been down to -2.2 C at some time since I went out about 5 pm.

maximum in the sunny spells this afternoon was 1.8 C
