First real snow of Winter here on March 4th. Very wet snow but big flakes and a covering on the ground at just 200ft asl.

Heavy snow now, every surface covered, first snows of winter here, or is it spring?

Certainly is Gibby, snow wasn't expected here, only higher on the Mendip. Flakes around 2 inches in diameter and heavy, around 2 maybe 3 centimetres settled in I would think 30 minutes.

Cripes if this kept up all night we'd have some serious depth out there but looking at Raintoday it'll be all over in around half an hour, snows settled about inch and a half so far.

I didn't know where to post this but seeing as though this is a thread about snow...

I saw this on Instagram, now that is pretty cool way to deal with excess snow.

Very lucky folks down in B&NES and the mendips getting snow accumulations! Here in Bristol we had persistant sleet with big wet flakes for a few hours, temp hovering around 2.5oC. Still pinning my hopes on the precipitation due in the early hours as temp continues to fall, currently 1.8

Temperature of zero degrees and a dew point of zero at the moment. Looking at the radar something heading south. Might see some white stuff if it doesn't break up here.

4c and lots of rain, our chances of any snow cover look to carry forward to another winter. Seen 5 days of wet snow over winter but nothing layed.

Anybody near Portsmouth that wants some snow go to butser hill as its looking very white 😊😊

It would seem from the train that the ground between catherington Down, and the tunnel just before petersfield also saw a snow flurry at some point over night. But given its height butser has done well by the looks of it 😏

There appears a fair bit of snow fell between petersfield and haslemere.. Nothing deep but snow none the less. It's definetly snow and not frost as its sitting in clumps on the trees and shrubs.

Heavy wet snow earlier, settled about 1cm max, rushed out, made snowman, pulled the kids round the garden on the sledge, raining now, snow more or less gone!

Our snow almost completely gone now, 5.3c has seen that off, 2" of the rare white stuff completely wasted and during the night no time to enjoy it.
