Nothing here, lying anyway.  Snow is falling being whipped around by the wind. 

Maybe the the strength of the wind is the issue here. 

For parts of the snow starved south it seems that the 2 year wait is nearly over.

The snow potential tonight arrives with an interesting little feature in the cold flow. The Highways Agency forecast provider talks of 1-2cm widely to sea level.

Really coming down out there now. About a cm already.

only 2 or 3 inches here at 1050 feet, was expecting 6inches or more which is what we had from the previous west based event a couple of weeks ago.  Temp at 0.8C so not as cold as I expected either.  Most interesting part of event so far is repeated thundersnow - just had lightning & thunder  a couple of mins ago and several flashes close by yesterday evening. Many of the showers are of hail rather than snow making for a very "un-fluffy" cover!

where are you? Location doesn't appear on my iPad.

why is that?

Come on Brian fix that annoying anomaly!

Had about 2cm at lower levels here in Teesside and then the temp dropped overnight to freeze most of it, back up to 2c now though so roads are all clear.

Sheffield, my favourite City and a good climate to go with it, good northern winters but being east of the Pennines good summers as well.

Always fancied living in Ranmoor after being stuck in a pub their for two days during the great Sheffield blizzard of February 1979.

I'll refrain from answering in too much detail
Great to see the areas expected to get some snow coming good.
Otherwise for a huge area of the 'UK', it's sleety showers and here at the moment we have a light rain shower in progress.

Absolutely bugger all during the night but it's started to snow in the last 10 minutes leaving a wet and white covering. Temps not that impressive either at 2.0c but the DP are -1.4c.

Further snow showers overnight but not the 15cm forecast, it was quite clear last night the showers were running more SE'wards to the south of here yet still they insisted on a warning for 15cm - hopeless.

-2.0c, min -3.1c

973mb falling

Well it didn't take long for it to go tits up, snow's turned to sleet and temps have climbed to 2.2c and DP at 0.9c. Like I said yesterday it's a carbon copy of last weeks debacle.

Moderate to heavy snow settling on all surfaces. :-)

Result!

The Severn Valley is doing an excellent job at killing all the showers before they get here.  Though if we did see anything it would only be rain ....

Very similar to the previous North Atlantic snow showers spell - ground is below freezing (just) but wind is keeping air just above.
Only the more intense showers have made it over but there is maybe an inch on the ground.

During the day yesterday was quite sunny, just a few short snow showers that didn't lie. That all changed as night fell. By 6:30 it was snowing heavily and by 10 we had about 3cm. Another 2cm overnight has given us a good covering.

It's looking like today (and the next few days) will be mainly dry for us and with cold temps I expect the snow to lie till at least the weekend.

Most of the main roads are open though there is a lot of slush still about

The gritters have had something of a long and busy night:
