I am in N Devon at the moment. Radar suggests heavy sleet but it looks dry out there at the moment?

Now down to +2.5c here with heavy rain and large wet flakes thrown in. - I doubt anything will settle hear in Oke!

0.8c - just looked outside - heavy wet snow now sticking to all surfaces and pavements, roads, rooftops and grassy surfaces and hedges etc, it's white here in Okehampton!

I made the mistake of checking before switching lights off - now I can 't sleep as I am intrigued by the rate of the snowfall - already have 1-2cms in space of 1hrs here in Okehampton. Probably be gone by time I wake up and need to drive to Exeter.

I wish this snow event happened during daytime or even better during winter or when I don't have to sleep - bit of a 12th December 2022 dejavu and 17th January 2023 dejavu although snow much heavier this time!

Just rain in Ilfracombe as far as I can see. (They turn the street lights off at this time of night)

iPhone app says it is currently heavy snow back home in Hants. Radar suggests heavy sleet.

A few flakes in the rain, everywhere's now sopping wet.

2.3, dew 0.4 and falling.

EDIT, a bit later: 1.6 / 0.4, quite a few more flakes in the rain. Still sopping wet!

A good way to see where the snow is at this time of day is to look at Google Maps - it's early enough that there won't be traffic jams, so the oranges you see are where people are having to drive more slowly due to snow. Based on this, no doubt the media will be full of snow photos from the rest of the SE today!

Snowing very lightly at the moment, we've snow on the ground around 3 inches at a guess as I haven't measured it.

First proper snow cover since Jan 2013 and it's still snowing. Will the schools be open, but no snow day for me as I WFH, although I"m sure I'll find time for a walk!

Looking great here, fair amount fallen since about 3am. I can see signs of melt already though, it’s wet under the first car tracks of the day and the tell tale signs of windscreen slippage already happening. Still snowing though.

Icy rain on the windowpane - the sleet's continuing, but with massive flakes of snow embedded in it. It's given a natural "frosted glass" effect to the upstairs windows! And there's the very faintest signs of a dusting trying to form on the grass.

1.1 / dew +0.2C.

Elsewhere, though, it looks like a winter wonderland from what I can see - lots of snow along the M2 and M20 corridors, and at the wolf centre (300ft up in the hills SW of Reading)... as dawn breaks, the Arctics are in their natural habitat for once!

Just about 3-4cm I’d say. Looks lovely, but easing and looks like it’ll get washed away this afternoon now rather than a top up. Oh well. Snow is snow.

Light rain here in Chichester….with a hint of ice on our velux window…quelle surprise!

About 4cm or so here, current temp sitting a smidge above 0c. More than I was expecting given the setup was so marginal, be interesting to see if this aftenoon/evening produces anything or if we'll be on the rain side of things for that.

4cm measured here in Crowborough, E-Sussex with snow stuck to every surface. Picture postcard walking the dog @ 6am but I feel its literally on the cusp - confirmed by a distinct lack of snow downhill on my drive to work this morning.
