[ARTDEMOLE]

Snowed but not going to stay long.

[FBR]

Very light snow between Gloucester and Cheltenham. Hope it gets heavier but nice to see regardless ?

[TheJCInsights]

Snowing moderately here in Andover. Small attempt to land on car roofs but not successfully. Flakes very small sadly. But lovely to see and quite the surprise!

Such a shame it's not settling, getting on for 2 hrs now of snow. 

I know,  a little gutting,  but still nice to see though. 

Temp still only 1.5c and DP 0.5c. Not bad for 2PM. If it Carries on, you never know temp might drop as it gets darker !!

[Bald Eagle]

Heavy in BS15 

[Chesil View]

Have even got a few sleety blobs in the rain here a few miles north of Weymouth.

[nettie]

Starting to settle now still coming down quite heavy .

[saintkip]

Sleety mix in Basingstoke 

[Calneee]

Huge flakes falling here now but struggling to settle on the roads and paths. It’s doing quite well on the fake grass though, much to the dogs delight!

[John88B]

After an hour of light to moderate snow its picked up in intensity and started settling in Yate.

[ARTDEMOLE]

Little balls of frozen snow,

Here comes the rain again
Falling on my head like a memory
Falling on my head like a new old emotion

Pushing the January totals up again...

Big fat flakes, but v high water content.

Not worth a pic but this was lovely

Been snowing here for an hour or so and fairly heavy at times but struggling to settle on anything other than cars, roofs and grass.  Still nice to see and unexpected.

[alex12]

Hadnt noticed the stuff in the channel!-Hopefully things will cool off before it gets here!

[Andy Bown]

This is the 3rd time in 2 hours that we have reached this stage of settledness and it’s easing off again like the previous times lol.

Dawn, are those buxus/boxes in the pots? They look lovely and green (although getting whiter!)

Hi Noggin, how's life treating you? All good I hope. Yes they're in pots, they're my babies, two round, two conical; I grew them from 2inch cuttings I took over 20 years ago now. I have to have a strict quarantine regime with them, always avoid them when I've been to work and never use the same tools there/here as virtually all the Box at work has been wiped out by Box Blight. I've also got Box balls in the borders, also from cuttings, a few years ago one of them was struck by blight so I cut it back to the trunk, no green left at all with the intention of removing it in the autumn. The bare trunk sprouted before I got round to taking it out, it came back clear of blight and has been thriving ever since. Phew!

 

Talking of work....I'm supposed to be working now doing my other job (making stuff) requires 100% focus and concentration to needle felt, working with very sharp barbed needles and snow falling outside the window is a recipe for stabbing fingers,

[Bristawl Si]

Cars and grass all white now. Steady, moderate snow falling.

[TheJCInsights]

Andover just now :
