Still rain here, I think thats it all will be too, that was the forecast though.   Still nice to see some heavy stuff in places, enjoy!

[The Northern Ramper]

Talk about being in the eye of the storm, I’m right in the middle of that.

[pip22]

Everything tuning white

Turning to snow here now

[Backtrack]

Screw you met office. Useless. 

[Weather-history]

1.6C billowing it down and the intensity is such that it is starting to stick on grass

[Chris.R]

1.1°C, about 6 mm on bins starting to settle on flag stones.
Will have no problem settling everywhere at this intensity. Extremely heavy. Heaviest I think since  25th of January 2013.

[that damn garden path]

Snow flakes are huge!

8:40 pm for you.

[Frosty the Snowman]

One more event to pile against the 'too wet to settle' argument. 48+ hours of rain and now completely white outside after less than an hour. Nuts. 

[SP1986]

wow this is in northeast wales also.. the difference is mental 

 

 

[severe snowstorm]

All surfaces have full coating now. Goodbye puddles!

[Backtrack]

All we need now is the same intensity as Manchester and we could be looking at 2010

[iand61]

Large flakes here now and starting to settle.

we were only on the edge of the main shower so not sure how long it will last but certainly coming down heavy at the moment.

[jam2010]

5cm mate thats all I'm saying

Heavy sleet & wet snow transition here in S Cheshire beginning to settle slightly on the grass. Great to see the transition to snow moving west to east. Think we can get a few cm out of this if it settles & keeps up in terms of intensity

No such thing as too wet to settle. It’s a misconception. All about the DP

[Mark_p]

The next time anyone says "But the ground is too wet for it to stick" we can remind them of 20/1/2021 when it rained for bloomin 2 days then stuck hah. Thank you science of DP.
