[Mountain Snow]

Snow falling here. It's been a long old wait this winter, hopefully it'll more than make up for it over the next month or so!

[Barmada Casten]

Not expecting much more here today bar the 10 minute light snow shower earlier....so depressing.

Will then spend the rest of the winter watching the east get battered. 

[WillinGlossop]

Nothing here yet... quite breezy...I’m guessing the stuff that’s meant to be giving Peak District a covering later is the stuff over south/mid Wales atm if it makes it...

10 minute light snow flurry is far better than most of the country have done so far this winter. We're standing on the edge of the holy grail here and things can only get colder from now on. Whatever happens today, it's time to get excited about next weeks potential. There's not a chance of this being robbed from here on, it's simply too late.

[I Cumbria Marra I]

Turned to sleet

[Deep Snow please]

Both the BBC and the Met Office is going for something wintry by dark.

I can't believe that there was snow at sea level and now that it reached here it is just rain. lol

It might. I think. It should lower the dew points if the ppn becomes heavier.

Snowing properly again now.

[Snow free zone]

....near me - decent Sleet.

[WillinGlossop]

Trying to snow here...flakes in the wind but few and far between...more like snow grains...

[Snow free zone]

Looking at the radar i'd think those higher up and further east may get a bit of a covering out of this

 

[Barmada Casten]

Light rain now.

Every year is the same, you could not make it up.
