Outbreaks of snow here with a light covering, +0c.🌨

Shame this didn't happen a month ago as I can't help but think it would've be a degree or two colder which, makes all the difference.

Maybe the roads will stay clear in many places throughout minimising disruption.  If it can't settle on them when its snowing and -1.4c , not sure when it will!

Bad news for my fellow Midlanders slightly further north - heavy rain has set in here now.

It's stuck very poorly around here, so it's just ended up a complete slushfest with bits of patchy snow.

Roll on some spring warmth now.

Perfectly describes the scene here in Galway, Ireland as well. To those who feel they have missed out on this event...all I can say is be thankful that you have.

Raining in Bamber Bridge near Preston. Was snow for most of the morning. Nothing stuck anywhere.

Mainly light snow continues here with the odd heavier burst. Disappointing that the earlier attempt at some accumulations has vanished completely, with pretty much all of it thawed away now.

Light sleet now. Melting continues. People on social media once again slagging the Met O off.

Mind you schools continue to close and businesses are posting up that they are closing early. Ridiculous.

Looking on the cams, the M62 is clear over the tops, with the verges showing a disappointingly modest accumulation. Even the Cat & Fiddle cam  in the Peak District has only a thinnish covering, whilst the Flash Bar cam  is a bit better, but I've seen it way better.

Last hope (outside of Scotland/far North of England) is that, as the low moves east and pulls down colder air behind it, the tail of the feature brings a period of better snow overnight. Tommy Shaven-knackers did explicitly mention this as a likelihood.

This does appear to be the last chance as it's basically drizzling now in Leeds despite a 'heavy snow'; symbol on the MetO nowcast. 

It can do one now as anything that comes down is likely merely to get in the way tomorrow without it being truly memorable. Off to the gym - was really looking forward to not having to go, but...😁

Look at these images and weep!

Just horrid stuff in my opinion, who likes slushy wet snow?

Can’t wait for the mild weather to return.

You must be on the outskirts and on higher ground because the M1 traffic cams at Sheffield show little more than a dusting, whilst the city centre cams aren't much better.

Yep. I could have forgiven this spell if it turned out to have been a notable snow event (what a surprise, another overly ramped snowy spell). Roll on the first widespread 18°C+ day, I'm completely sick of cold and dreary crap now.

Snow has bee dripping from the trees for the past hour as the snow has turned very light. 
Up to 0.6c. 
5cm on the ground but no disruption as has not settled on the road.  
However none of the models showed any accumulation until this afternoon.  So plenty of time for a good event.

That 100 metres between you and me is massive. Virtually nothing down here now. Nothing coming out of the sky and melting what little we had from last night rapidly.

Plenty of snow falling, but just too marginal for big accumulations away from higher altitude areas. A sadly familiar tale since 2013 here (although we had about 5cm Boxing Day night 2014 in very marginal conditions IMBY). 

 



No settling snow at all where I work near Bolton town centre despite being quite heavy at times. Back home there is evidence of some accumulation but it is clearly melting. Light snow blowing around in the wind now but who cares, this one has gone now if it was ever even going to be anything much for this area.
