Just got back from a walk on the common. Several brief snow showers, proper snowflakes visible on my jacket where they landed. Last couple of showers were more rain though.

Pressure at 12 noon was 1048.7mb at Edinburgh Gogarbank, but is now steady and no longer going up. This means that it is probably as high as it is going to get.

With that, we continue to be the most boring part of the UK with absolutely nothing happening, and with no real sense of any sort of actual "weather".

The north of Edinburgh, usually always missing out on snow events which occur not just within the rest of Scotland or the UK, but also within the rest of Edinburgh.

Snow showers on and off here but pleasant when the sun is out.

Went to my beach hut at Walmer....mistake, NE winds nearly ripped the door off and splintered wood as it swung back.  Showers of graupel  pummelling the hut as it shuddered in the gusts with spray and spume from the Downs (the area of sea between the Goodwin Sands and the east coast), desiccating in the air as the waves crashed onto the beach brow.


Sheltered in the hut awhile before shutting up shop.  Chose thence to walk in a nearby wood, much more sensible, but a whole degree colder at 120m asl with the high lapse rate, but infinitely more comfortable with trees providing shelter and bluebells juxtaposed by melting soft hail was a sight out of the 1980's.


Back in Dover, currently 5.0 c, dp a chilly -3.6.

Just did a quick lamp watch and I can still make out the odd flakes flit by under the LED lighting. I've been seeing the odd wintry/snow grain showers off and on all day but also some good sunny spells.

Just started snowing here. We didn't get any yesterday, and this is only the second time we have had any snow this "winter".

Yes just had a brief but fairly heavy snow shower here too. In fact it is still snowing lightly.

Third day of falling snow this year: yesterday, today and one day in the last week of Feb.

Not high pressure related but the next day or two looks like delivering a taste of winter to the Northern Isles (Shetland especially).

Here there is even chance of seeing a flake or two of snow at some stage but more likely a biting cold wind with occasional wintry showers.
