It is, and it is settling and filling in the holes from earlier.

We had some impressive sized flakes of snow mixed in with the sleet in the last half hour, but that's all, back to rain now.

Been snowing here for about the last 40 mins, quite moderate nice big flakes, very surprising as it was not forecast, and the radar was clear when i last looked

My wife went out in the car at 4.30 and there is over 1cm of snow in the space my car vacated. The snow is still coming down persistently.


We lost a fair amount of depth during the day due to thaw. We were at 8cm first thing this morning, went down to 4cm, but we're now back up to 5cm (as of 20 minutes ago).

Must be one of the least expected snow days in terms of the amount we have here on the edge of the Berkshire Downs @ 450' ASL.

Yesterday it looked like 2" would be it, then we had that very isolated Amber warning issued at 4am, woke up to 5" or maybe a bit less with a forecast of snow till lunchtime. That forecast kept on creeping later into the day, and it has only just really stopped now. End result is between 7 and 8".

Trees and branches on the lanes round here are fully bent over, so although the road itself is passable in terms of snow amounts, a lot are blocked in reality.

Still, moderate snow falling here but too warm to settle much on the surfaces that are clear. Temperature needs to fall to 0c a lot of slush out there.

Snow falling here again, laying on that which had not melted and covering all surfaces where it had melted! Very nice 😎

My line manager lives in Basingstoke and told me the snow was deep there when she left for work this morning and it was still coming down thick and fast. 


She also did very well for snow there last February/March!


definitely the sweet spot

The snow really is having a bad effect on the Basingstoke area. Expect more of this on the news later.

Finally snowing properly here in North Northumberland, drove 5 miles south and everything was covered by an inch or so, it looked very dark to the south and started snowing heavily, while at home the sun still shone on my village and there was nothing to be seen but melting frost.

Cant work out what’s happening here! Metoffice automated says heavy snow until 10pm. BBC automated says sleet until 1am....not checked radar, but I do know that the lamppost shows heavy snow! 😎

Heaviest radar returns right over my neck of the woods, the M3 towards Basingstoke, and I'm sat in London missing out!

Nice moderate snow shower here, quickly covered the road and filled in other areas where last nights snow had melted.
