None here.  Just cracking blue skies for most of the week.  Maybe get our turn on Saturday night but will soon wash away on the Sunday sadly.

After yesterdays 24 hour snowfall, it turned to rain in the afternoon, very heavy rain at that. Melted about 75% of the lying snow. However as forecast snow fell overnight, this time leaving about 2 to 3 cms. 

Snow has stopped now and radar suggests that may be the end of it. If it is I am glad, need spring to come.

Wasn't expecting to see it, but a few flakes of snow in the moderate rain that's passing over right now: +3.2, dew +2.6C (down from 9C earlier this morning!)

Just easing here now. It snowed heavily for a couple of hours and left about 1cm at most, but it is quickly thawing. Very marginal conditions again.

the covering on grass/cars now pretty much gone. Glad I took the dog early so she could have a mad half hour in it. 🤣

Looks like it's over here Roger. Ended up with a patchy cover, at best up to 1cm. Better than nothing I suppose! Sun is trying to come out now.

GFS Models and BBC forecasts have actually been very good here over the last few days. Even predicted the rain turning back to snow in East Anglia as it moved out into the N.Sea. A short lived squall earlier gave almost blizzaed like conditions for a few minutes. Blew the lid of the dustbin and a branch came down. Sun out now, 2.4C.

It was poor here, they suggested very little after 11pm instead it snowed almost continuously all night.

What level depth have you got?

We will have had somewhere between the predicted 30 to 40cm, hard to tell because of the moderate drifting which gave us drifts around 3ft deep. Lovely.

I know it's unlikely, but I'd love to see that sort of fall/accumulation across a whole swathe of the country, including low-lying areas.

I think I'm going to have to move to a higher altitude part of the country (but then, that defeats the object dunnit? And I'd only move if I retired, which is probably when I'd start seeing snow as a nuisance)

Just drove from Bamber Bridge to Bristol and the most noticeable thing was the lack of snow almost everywhere. Some as you left Lancs, but the entire M5 journey was completely green as was most of the M6

After moaning about the first couple of inches of snowfall not settling on the paths and drive yesterday I have to say clearing the drive today was one of the most difficult snow clearances I have experienced due to the volume and drifting.  Thinking of the high ground Sheffield folk that had nearly double what we had.

Even lowland Wirral gets more than me. A pathetic 1cm and that's being genereous. I'll sayit again, I pay no attention to the snow depth forcasts for this area as the Pennine rain shadow affect kills most of it off in these situations. There was the classic Greater Manchester 'snow hole' in evidence yesterday and overnight. Of course it reinvigorates further west so yuo managed a respaectable enough 6cm. More snow on the way on Saturday? Whatever. Not interested as it won't happen, now which way to the moaning thread.....

My time-lapse for Thursday here. An expected major snowfall, only results in a few minor accumulations early and late.

I this case, certainly overnight, it wasn't the usual 'snow hole' effect. Winds swung N, then NW, then W, whilst the main PPN clump moved from WSW to ENE before rotating and moving back WNW to ESE (as far as I can tell)

Certainly the later PPN should have given us both a far better return.

That prompted me to look at my cctv history and I can see that it triggered at 5.25am due presumably to the heavy snow. It was bucketing it down with good flakes - and both the road and the pavement were white.

Next time it triggered was 6.59am (missus leaving for work). Snow is just light flurries and the pavement/roads are clear and just wet.

The snow stayed on the grass/cars/some other surfaces, and when I took the dog it wasn't wet, it was decent and fairly dry.

Rather frustrating.
