We had  a brief, but fierce, graupel shower pass through here about 40mins back, left a thin coating on the kitchen window sill. Shows promise I guess.

Covered in snow at Peasedown St John

---

Snowing currently
About 3cm of snow, so far

---

Snow has now arrived in Evesham - now to see if it lasts as long as the forecast suggests!

---

4cm, still coming down well.

---

Well I'm surprised this morning, everything is covered in a good 3 inches of snow, two inches more than I expected, It's not snowing now but no thawing either so happy for once. There are showers following behind the main band but they look as though they are dying out before they come too far inland so might not see much more

Dawn breakss at the wolf centre, 300 feet up in the hills to the SW of Reading...

I went to bed last night disappointed as what I assumed to be the main event brought me a mix of sleet, graupel and snow and left me with just a layer of slush. I thought that that was it in terms of snow. So I was pleased to wake up to a light covering this morning. It's snowing lightly at the moment and the radar suggests that there's more to come. That's twice this week that I have seen snow without expecting it. Makes a change!

We now have a covering of snow on a layer of frozen slush. I don't think that I'll be going anywhere in the car today!

---

25 minutes later at the wolf centre - a lovely wintry scene. One that'll be duplicated far and wide, I suspect (although I'm not expecting such here!)

(It looks better when clicked. No sign of old Torak, either, I suspect he's in his nice snug kennel!)

---

Just started snowing heavily in Woodcote, South Oxfordshire. Settling on all surfaces. Hoping our elevation and a ‘favourable pivot’ will give us a good covering today 🙂

---

Not sure I'd want to be on the M4 right now! Pictures from J11 to J13...

---

Snow has just started in Yateley. Falling on surfaces still white with frost. Light at the moment but sky looks fairly full of it.

---

Intensity of the snow has increased , hoping for a good covering

---

Really picked up now. Everything white within five minutes. Settling on roads instantly.

---

A memorable breakfast with my young boys, watching huge fluffy flakes build up the cover in the garden. Almost over now, per radar and my own eyes, but definitely enough for an (imminent) sledge. At times, it was some of the heaviest snow I've ever seen.

Good job the roads were dry with frost , the band of snow looks very narrow 

---

Now the heavy sleet/ wet snow as well as freezing rain has left us there is a sheet of ice and actually the temperature has fallen back to 0.5c from a high of 1.6c early hours after a low of -2.1c last night. The little slush on cars has now frozen to ice.

---

 

Just been out to take some photos in Wiltshire, our roads were like that as well, 5cm snow and -1c.   

Some of the hills were interesting drive, but sensibly we have winter tyres on one car so could drive up hills on the snow covered roads no problem.  Actually they are better than summer tyres in the wet below +10c so well worth the investment 

 

---

Flakes are quite fine here but loads of them. Hard to see down to the end of the street.

Watching falling snow is one of my favourite things in the world. 

---

We have done quite well here 10cm not much coming down now, just above freezing.

---

Still waiting....

---

Sounds like you did well to the North and East of here. 2cm in North Bristol which I’m happy with.

Looking at the radar we were right under one of the heaviest bits. Almost at the back edge already though, that’s only about half an hour? It needs to start pivoting if the forecast of more prolonged snow is to come off.

Settled readily on all surfaces but only 1-2cm so far.

---

Absolutely massive flakes here, 2 inches across. Can’t think I’ve ever seen such big ones! Winter wonderland out there, easily an inch so far. Going out to play 🙂

---

Flakes have grown here too, big like feathers from a pillow. Children going mad!
