I'm currently just north of Crickhowell (Powys, South Wales) about 200m asl and it is snowing lightly with a thin  covering on the ground. The flakes are small and still floaty but the MetO automated forecast is for it to change to sleet in the next two  hours.

Yes, a bit lucky so far but my brother in Devon near Newton Abbot says it's raining hard down there and temp is 13c so I don't expect this snow to last too long.

It's falling as wet snow here now and is settling on the card etc. I'm at 65m asl and have just taken a drive to the highest point in the Vale (130m).

The true snow line us at about 85m and by the time I got to  the top of the hill it was a winter wonderland with the roads etc all white and about a cm covering.

It's a truly marginal situation here.

Snow here now - started as sleety stuff, now proper snow and a slushy covering on favoured surfaces. Temp 0.3c and if the DP on my WS can be believed, -0.4c DP. 

Not bad timing wise - a bit after GFS and a bit before UKV. 

Encouraging to read Jim's update, suggests it might stay as snow for a couple of hours at least.

No change in temps but sadly it's all turned to rain, some ice in it but it's the end of the snow by the looks of things.

Appropriately enough, rain turned to snow here in Cranleigh not long after I started watching the Channel 5 documentary "The Big Snow of '82", which began at 19:40. We have a complete covering, even on the (little used) road outside my house, as far as I can see in the not that great street lighting. Still snowing. (The documentary, as weather documentaries tend to do, played a bit fast and lose with some of the data, but had some great footage.)
