Got to say, this afternoon's PPN off the Irish Sea has been a major disappointment. It looked like it was shaping up for a repeat of this morning, with lots of PPN in the North Channel/north Irish Sea, but it's fizzled somewhat. Manchester's had sunshine for most of the afternoon

Mostly melted now here in Englefield Green.

The cars and grass, as well as parts of the pavements turned white temporarily. Went from a heavy hail/snow to proper wet snow at the end.

Now snowing lightly.

Temp. 1.0c

Wintry mix here, amazing the speed of it coming from the West, it's gone black here

Snowing and settling here in Hartley Wintney, Hants!  The duck is broken - almost exactly 22 months since I last saw a snowflake. 

It's overcast here Saint, some general low level cloud cover seems to have killed off the showers a bit. As a result we're being treated to occasional bursts of rain and hail as little mini cells pop up off NE Wales  Hoping for the real showers to get going again, or for skies to clear as I hate this icy rain stuff!

Has that unidentified object off NW Scotland become the elephant in the room now?

Nothing here in Chelsmford. Just couldy and breezy....mind you I was not expecting anything

Sleety bits when anything happens here.. The time will come.....

just started sleeting/snow mix here in Essex. vey windy nothing much tho

ps settling on rooftops and cars don't think it will be much have too see

First proper snow in 2 years. Not settling as surfaces too wet

There's a marked difference in shower activity heading from the North Channel/Irish Sea toward southern NW England compared to this morning.  There is evidence now of a 'streamer' as the showers are aligning NW to SE.  As always it's narrow and there is a 'sweet spot' where one area could see it snow for a couple of hours and 20 miles down the road it stays dry.  It's slightly renewed my interest for the rest of the day.  

Thundersnow settling up here on the North downs just outside Reigate. even on, roads, and paths

This morning's PPN off the Irish Sea sure looked like a streamer to me, only it was aligned W to E.

I need to stop posting quickly at work and take the time to explain myself better!  It was much wider and less typical in its direction west to east.  It's unusual, as far as I can recall, that heavy snow come from that set up.  The subtle shift now means the more usual NW to SE flow and a long narrow band coming down through the channel from further north rather than just off the sea.  Hope that better explains by point?   

16cm of snow at 0900hrs

Deepest single snowfall event since Feb 1991

Hasnt melted much today Max 0.3c 

That line of showers in the irish sea heading south east along with a potential even more significant feature behind it

I've been watching the skies to my NW getting progressively heavier and darker, willing them to come my way so I could see what ppn it was....now I'm not bothered since it seems to be rain.
