My wife and I took our two fluffy dogs to Oxborough Hall for a walk, at 5 degrees C, cloudy and dry. When we got home at 2pm, there were showers of Light rain initially, then Ice pellets. At 2.30pm, the ice pellets had a few flakes fluttering down in the accompanying drizzle. Then the flakes became more numerous, and it turned to pure snow. We had heavy snow from 3pm to 7.00pm, and it started wet and not settling - at 3 degrees C, then dropped to 1 degree, and slush deposits started to build up on the lawn. For the last 2 hours, the temperature fell to zero and the snow started to settle everywhere, building on the lawn to 1.5 cm depth. Then at 7.00pm, it slowed and then it stopped Around 7.20pm and the temperature rose to 1 degree, and the drip drip began. It was still lying on thickly on the grass at 11.00pm, when I turned in, but just for a while it was on the drive and patio too, and all the trees and branches, and it looked amazing, though always a tad wet. 

However, no complaints from me, as this is the first snow seen here since 2020, and it was heavy, fluffy large flakes, some finer interludes, but amazing to watch. Totally unforecast, even when it was falling. Only later did the forecasters admit it was snowing in East Anglia. The snow was so heavy, it appeared as if there was a convergence causing the uplift, because benign echoes suddenly bubbled into deep Precipitation and sleet turned to snow readily. The only forecaster that saw this coming was our very own Quantum!! Hats off to him for his persistence in the face of defeat. Some snow remains on the lawn this morning, but a thinning layer.

Great to see you got some snow. A few days ago it looked like it would be NE England would see snow and a weather warning was issued. That signal faded in the models, there were a few that then went for slight snow cover in Norfolk but it remained very uncertain with the area at risk changing with each model run. 
We have a dusting on the grass and roofs this morning from some light snow.  Disappointing that is the climax of a long  easterly spell though!

It was proper sleet here for a while, another day when it would have been snow in the 80s we've had 4 or 5 of those this winter.

---

If the temp has been 2c colder over the last week or so we would have had a classic winter spell with 10cm plus of snow and ice days with hardly any thaw.

Yes - agree, it was the essence of global warming on steroids. the snow I saw maybe as good as it gets these days. It was 2018 the last time I saw really drip free snow. Maybe for a day or two in 2020, the lockdown winter, as I remember having a couple of ice days with snow. All seems longer ago than it is, but somehow, it feels like the world has got significantly warmer in the last 5 years. I read an article on how the oceans have absorbed the heat to date, but now they are not absorbing any more and Average air temps are rising alarmingly fast. It saddens me greatly, as seeing snow in your back garden seems so much better than going on holiday to see snow in Finland for example. It will very rare now to get drip free snow at my sort of elevation. In fact 28ft above see level might be a tad risky if the sea levels start to rise faster....?

Light snow now - South Edinburgh

Thanks Noodle! Friends back in south Edinburgh also reporting light snow. (Sunny and 15 C here in the Algarve at 10:30)

Sleet and wet snow is currently falling here in NW Edinburgh but as per usual for this winter, none of this is actually settling here.

As a result, our completely snowless winter here in NW Edinburgh goes on as what we have today is clearly now, the closest that we'll actually ever get to seeing any lying snow here now with the combination of our relative closeness to the sea, our very low elevation and ongoing climate change all clearly playing a part in that (climate change is probably the biggest factor here because never before, would we have ever witnessed a winter month which was both colder than average but completely snowless here (such as what we had in January) and even though we would still never get anything like as much snow as higher and more inland locations, we always used to at least get a little bit especially in winter months which were also colder than average but that clearly just isn't happening any more😡).

Surprised there isn't one of these for March. Seen plenty of pics of a dusting of snow around - even Cheltenham had one yeasterday

---

Sleety shower earlier. Fairly typical of early March's here

---

Wintry showers in the Chilterns today. I was walking on Coombe Hill this morning and it felt raw when the clouds came over.

---

We've had a few mostly hail showers over the last couple of days, with what looked like some graupel mixed in during Tuesday's effort. Both of the larger showers have left a slushy coating at home, with yesterday's effort still present in places as it froze overnight.
