I don't blame you - I left at half 7 having "rescued" a colleague who said she was to scared to drive any further! To be fair the snow was coming down thick and fast at that point and there was a fair bit on the roads.

Around a centimetre of snow in Poynton, north east Cheshire. At work in Stoke-on-Trent and just a very light dusting in the city centre.

No snow here in my part of the East Midlands, just a frost, clear blue sky and sunshine but the temp is struggling to get above freezing.

Just shows that in these situations even a mile or two can make a huge difference. Barely 1 cm at the Uni, 4-5 cm over at Lansdown...

Woohoo!

Very little snow in comparison to here in The Cairngorms

31cm in Aviemore.

The main A9 north south is closed for the first time this winter.

LOL. I'm not sure comparing a lowland urban area with some of the highest and most snow-prone mountain regions in the UK is particularly fair!

Around 3-4cm lying here, first covering for 2 years. Looks pretty in the crisp winter sun and blue skies.

Also had thundersnow last night - heavy snow, big hail and overhead thunder and lightning. That's the 3rd or 4th thundersnow event in the past couple of years.

Looks like you will get loads of snow over the next week or so wouldn't be surprised if you get over a metre.

Current scene at Drumochter (460m asl). That lorry won't be going anywhere for a wee while I think.

I was going to say we had zilch last night till the wife said when she came in "I see you had your snow then," out in the garden there was the frozen remains of a dusting of snow in some of our flower pots and on the shed roof, I didn't look hard enough lol.  so wow that was that, bit disappointing really.

Whilst Exeter had sleety rain Dartmoor enjoyed a good covering of snow:

The car this morning was frozen-up, and there were little white dots on small snow-pellets scatted over it. Same just outside Manchester city centre on the pavement.

Meanwhile, the M62 over the Pennines looks nice, if not particularly deep

Dartmoor had a covering! But I understand it was a disappointment - snow was mainly for higher ground and temperatures never got below 2.5c last night. - A little disappointing - feel free to rant in the "NO SNOW" thread.

Nah i doubt it very much, a spell of rain tonight will clear some of it, what follows over the coming days looks more like snow showers.

We are far from one of the highest villages, parts of The Pennines are much higher than here. Aviemore is lower than us and has 10cm more than here.

Well last nights half glass empty approach paid dividends with 2cm of fresh snow falling overnight, though it's thawing fast now. Still this is the first proper fall of snow since December 2010.

I know. I was just commenting on the slightly unfair comparison between Fife and the Cairngorms area. ;)

Nah, don't feel like ranting Tally, too tired from lamp post watching last night. I DO wish the Meto would get rid of that bloody weather warning for last night though, it's beginning to wind me up a little.

Went on a snow hunt with a friend last night. We witnessed dropping temperatures, violent lightning and a small amount of hail followed by our first sleet of the last year. None of that when I got back to mine, although apparently there was a light snow shower (convinced it was actually sleet they saw). Kept peeking out of the window in the small hours of this morning, but of course - with the local government's fab idea to turn the streetlamps off during the critical hours for lamp post watching, my efforts were pointless, and everything was still green this morning.

This morning in Leeds city  centre:

Light snow now ahead of the next dumping this evening, 21cm lying with icicles hanging from roof
