Exquisite reporting guys - glad some of the TWO community have seen some of the white stuff falling :)

Looks like snow accumulated higher than the Met Office suggested - this camera is almost 400m asl on the M62 summit anything below this is wet rather than white. 

7-8cm of snow here, another 4cm overnight

Temperature dipped to -1.8c but now 1.0c with a dp of 1c

We had a winter-wonderland scene this morning around 9am - all surfaces white.

Unfortunately it was a covering of hail. But it still looked nice.

(incidentally, in Dec 2009, we had a serious of hail events, which froze and gave a great base for subsequent snowfall.

There was several cm in Mountain, Queensbury apparently.

I always enjoy reading this:

They walk up (Mostly) hellvelyn on a daily basis, with a few other mountains from time to time.  They take a picture and comment on the conditions at the top.

Ive found this info extremely useful in the past

Interesting. My drive to work takes me up to around 300m near Bradford and I didn't see any lying snow at all this morning.

Another few cm overnight adding to what was there from last week.

Snow on the ground here - temp. below zero.

Nice pic you lucky sod, yes I am jealous 

I don't understand how you keep getting all this snow. There are hills where I live that reach an elevation of 2,200 feet and the snow level is about 1,500 feet. I had a maximum temperature of 5c today and we have had no snow (icy rain), snow falling line was about 1,000 feet and the uppers are the same so i'm not sure why you would have so much snow when you live at only 200m.  The uppers aren't really conductive for widespread snow.Do you live in a microclimate??

It really is quite weird how he is getting this snow when the uppers aren't really cold. Last week he got like 6 inches or something as well.. when the best we got was 3 inches at 1100 feet. 

It has to be a microclimate. 

No such thing as a micro climate.

We are 900ft / 274m  here, snow has been falling all over Speyside to levels of 700ft over the past week, 10-12 inches of level snow was recorded here in Carrbridge, Kincraig, Kingussie & Newtonmore on Friday.

We are  further north than you and a long way from the warm sea to the west where the showers are coming from.

Todays high 1c, dew point -2c all day so no thaw at all, that warm sea all around you is your problem i am afraid.

No such thing as a micro climate!

We had heavy snow showers wed/thur last week then a band of heavy snow came south Friday taking totals to 11 inches.

I do not understand why you cannot understand why, snow was falling to sea level on Friday as the uppers were very low.

This is the snowiest area of the UK.

Yes I understand that you live in the snowiest area of the UK and it IS a lot snowier than here but the airmass on Friday was the same here as your place yet we did not record the same amount of snow at high altitudes. 

Today the air is very marginal and only sustains wet snow at above 300m so I was surprised that you have lying snow at only 200m.

More snow showers drifting in from the west affecting parts of Easter Ross 

I did kind of suspect that the plateau might have an effect and the fact that the wind is blowing onshore here maybe. Idk just was quite surprised at the difference in snow amounts where he lives.
