I am in the light section of the radar.. but what I’m seeing outside is certainly not light.

Snows starting to drift up the fence. What's everyone's snow depths so far?

Drink enough alcohol and ask for chilli sauce and you won’t care / notice

NEVER eat one sober though!

Just over 2 inches when I checked an hour ago. So probably closer to 3 by now

In my case,in me is a wicked sense of humour, charm, good looks,  a godlike weather knowledge and  a delusion of grandeur 

[kumquat]

about 10cm, but I'm not measuring till morning 

[noggin]

It's been snowing for over 5 hours now and still coming down! Measured it about 15 minutes ago...3 inches (7 to 8 cms).

[Wilxy]

Question is am I going to work tomorrow!

[Jayfromcardiff]

Must be getting on for 10cm easy now.

How’s your luck ? Snowing?

yup, about 5cm since 10pm

[matt111]

5cm when I checked and it's been snowing lightly since so maybe a bit more but not sure it's been heavy enough to add much more.

Be lucky if I get my car off the drive to be honest. Not sure what to do.

[kumquat]

Luckily, I "work" from home Fridays 

[CheesepuffScott]

I’ll check again when everyone else has left the house (so after 5:30)

[Frosty_wsm]

Nooo, precipitation is breaking up, can't see the heavy snow all night the met have down for this area. Just got back from a late midnight stroll.

Temperature not forecast to get till 1oc until 9am, so whatever you got won’t be melting much. Will be horrible diving conditions, that’s for sure, not worth a risk really, unless absolutely necessary 

Edit driving, won’t be much fun diving either I imagine.

I was half expecting this event to be a huge disappointment but I have had a blast with how this event has unfolded.

At this point I have no idea what to expect but METO expect snow to midday on Friday.

I have thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere in this thread today so I Just wanted to say a big thank you to the net weather team for providing this great service.

Wifey just said to me "How much"......I said "5cm"........she said "Stop exaggerating, and I'm talking about snow depth, ya daft bugger!".......*sigh*

Yup, and its still chucking it down outside and looks to be about 3/4 inches of snow on the ground.

[Singing in the Snow]

Hi everyone, long time lurker finally deciding to emerge. Been really weird weather down here in Poole, Dorset today, starting with heavy rain that then turned to snow and settled.
