First blizzard for 2.10 years yes gales just seen fantastic easterly whipped the snow up our lane and I couldn't see a thing,even though temp at 0.9c here lower down.

Drifts are building fast.

Getting better

[snowangel32]

Woww after the monsoon earlier its actually starting to stick to the ground. Full on mini blizzard here now.

[RobR]

Ok things are more encouraging now, with snow sticking to the grass. Also the radar ahead looks a little stalled?

[syed2878]

Snow here settling on grass only I see that Met has removed the yellow warning from Monday Tuesday and Wednesday after issuing a knee-jerk warning

[stratty]

Midday turned to big flakes  Beautiful!

[Dibdabbers]

Turned to wet snow but not sticking, yet. Heaviest stuff seems to be east and west of here, expect that in a W wind but not E.

The worst of marginal conditions here. A sleet fest, raw wind and 1c.

[phil b]

Big Flakes just arrived here 

[shunthebartlett92]

We're getting pretty heavy snow here, but its so wet its just compounding the puddle situ. Glad it's settling in the higher places, its just making today feel about 10 x grottier haha.

[DIS1970]

Still not 100% here, gusts of wind bring heavier periods, with interludes of lighter falls, no accumulations anywhere. Temp. 1.1C.

At least we got one that worked properly last weekend!

What’s going on out there now is still better than anything the last 2 winters offered here.

Funny how different snow scenarios are playing out with different degrees of success all within a month (and a bit!).

[phil nw.]

Signs of it turning to snow on the northern edge. 

Cold air cutting in. 

[nobble]

Best intensity and size of flakes all day

[Jason74]

Love all weather conditions. Currently wet snow/sleety mix. Heavy too. 

As Billy Connolly once said, there's no such thing as bad weather, only the wrong clothing. Going to take the dog out for a walk in a bit to enjoy it.

Suspect the wind whipping it around is making it sometimes look heavier than it is, its still not even trying to stick even though its all snow now and that 10C/heavy rain to sticking snow event last week reminded me again that wet ground and previous rain doesn't prevent it doing so. 

Looks like another hunt snow but stay local challenge this afternoon, different from last time as that was just a case of snow showers hitting random places, this time it seems to be snow that's sticking in random places...

[high ground birmingham]

This sort of reminds me of an event in Feb 2005 when a system moved in from the SE. Just snowed all day but no settling
