Around 5" to 6" this morning after some more showers yesterday evening. Beautiful sparkling frost covered snowfields in bright sunshine. The "Another World" mountain boarding centre above Halifax is reporting 8" to 10" - similar height to us I think.
What a stunning day! Now looking forward to this being topped up in middle of the week. Will we reach 12" of snow in the next few days....?
ppn type radar showing wintry mix across Hampshire now with snow in Winchester area - apparently.We have drizzle here; +2.4C
Moderate snow just started here.
Snow falling, slowly covering the lane again, still some snow remains on the grass/cars/roof from last night.
I'm sure someone will correct me, but I'm sure there was speculation about the 29/12/00 snowfall arising from a polar low.

Big polystyrene hail shower last night around 1am left a good cover, which was then sprinkled with light snow for good measure. Although most surfaces had cover this AM, rain showers have been eating away at it, as well as a rain/hail sleet shower around an hour ago. Pretty grim out there now, hoping for clear skies and a good frost later.
Well some of you may think I got quite a lot of snow here last night judging by my reports but not really, we had a little drive today and as Saint said yesterday elevation was a huge factor last night. We first went to Newton Heath which is across the "border" into Manchester and there was no snow at all, not even on the cars. Then we went up Oldham Road towards Oldham town centre and once you got to 130m upwards the snow was completely covering all surfaces and at a decent depth, was like another world. Then 150m+ there was snowmen in peoples gardens. So roughly the snowline last night was around 80m upwards, then the proper thick stuff above 130m. In fact I was lucky to even get some light cover, thankfully we did. So glad it wasn't snowless.
Kent members: Have a look at the radar at the moment (circa 16:45)...the front that was clearing SE seems to have stalled as it cleared the coast, and is now 'back building'. Looks like things pepping up a little? Any reports?
I'm in the office in Margate at present, but will be heading out on the bike shortly, looking for signs in the bike lamp
Heavy snow settling on all surfaces

Started snowing here, big flakes. Settling on most surfaces.

Heavy snow now, big flakes! Everything has turned white!

Sorry, my comment was a bit tongue in cheek, following previous comments a couple of days ago about - ahem - non-convective (frontal) snow in the NE and E of the UK.
Light rain turned to light snow and we have a dusting but the radar isn't showing much more.
