At last we now have proper snow this is the first all winter ( apart from a few dusting of snow) which is usually because we usually get 7 or 8 days even in a warm winter but the snow has kept missing us. we have about 5 cm now has been snowing all day and it was settling on the grass,etc but it is now snowing very fast and drifting . The nearby road A66 was shut at 2pm and i only hope the people driving through our village are not trying to get over yad moss way which nearly reaches 2000 feet and I have seen drifting up there as high as a house. 

Will post some photos tomorrow. Hoping to get at least 15 cm or more by the morning.

Moderate snow showers here moving in quickly on the fresh NE wind, beginning to settle.
The main precipitation nearly reached here and seems to be responsible for the rapid development of these showers??

---

Utterly ridiculous to 'pre-emptively' close the A66 during the day. A succession of vehicles would stop any snow settling on the carriageway. 

---

light snow flurries reached Glasgow

---

Not really when you see what it can be like in bad weather. Admittedly the heavy  snow has come a bit later then forecast but its a totally white out, out there tonight. Its just like it was in 2018 there is about at least 10 cm of snow now I imagine double once you get higher. Its blowing back so quickly.

---

The latest snow started settling on the roads but it starts melting as soon as the snow lightens up.

Well I could see it was snowing at Old Trafford. trying to keep the Arabs away !

A66 -  strongly disagree -  its very exposed, the amount of snow that drifts off the surrounding fells is huge, all it needs is one vehicle to stop, and its curtains - Ive had years of experience on a similar road A686 Hartside, which is even higher. Unless you have been up there in a winter storm no-one will believe how bad it can be.

I know the road pretty well (and clocked the snow poles first time I drove it). I know it can be brutal when winter slams in there.

My point is that, through daylight hours, it's barely snowed. And even when it does to even a moderate/heavy rate, the busy traffic through the day prevents snow settling.

Evening onwards, different story, obviously.

We have rain here. I'm somewhere between "what a fecking surprise... 😒" and "I'm really pee'd off that the weather gods fart on MBY once again 🤬" 

---

Snowing here in Glasgow , surprisingly heavy and lying instantly 

---

Light snow in Bamber Bridge. Nothing settling. Windy

---

Glasgow off and on. Occ heavy bouts then fizzles out. Away from roads just about lying. Not sure what to make of radar.. 

---

Back to snow here. Hopefully for the rest of the night.

It's not heavy enough to stick, though.

Not here. Just light sleet. There's been nothing heavy since about 3pm, and that was mainly rain.

---

Working in Carlisle which happens to also be extremely difficult to get proper snow. So sheltered that despite being under radar echoes all day there’s just a few flakes in the wind. 

As for Glossop doesn’t sound like anything special there either yet. Tonight may bring something more significant there when the system pivots. 

Trans pennine routes look to be blocked with drifting snow already. 

---

Several inches here and blowing about as it's -0.5C
Has been snowing pretty heavy for hours.

---

Here in Edinburgh, we're just about on the northern edge of the main band of precipitation.

There is a mixture of wet snow and soft hail here which is being blown around in a howling Easterly wind.

It's nowhere near as cold as it has been tonight (although that raw wind from off the North Sea makes it feel a lot colder than it actually is) with a temperature of around +2°C here in Edinburgh as at 9pm GMT (21:00 UTC) this evening but the snow/hail is being blown around quite a lot and is even starting to settle a bit.

Snow,  -0.3c.
9cm average depth now ,  steadily building up but nothing too extreme yet.
