Horrid wet morning and 4c, no sniff of snow here!

Your so right!

Should I moan today .Enjoyed the snow at o6:00 this morning.. The moan being  it did not last ......It stopped falling ....

---

 

That PPN fell as mostly hail & soft hail here. It left a white covering, but nothing to get remotely excited about. Like I said in the snow reports thread, when the more organised band moved through, it was mostly rain.

All in all, a rather p*ss-poor attempt at a cold spell.

And I see little joy to be had in the model output, too.

Well if that was winter, it's worse than 2015/16.

I suppose I should be thankful for small mercies but after waiting for over six years for lying snow my soon to be evaporated effort from last night could be the last of the season if (and it's a big if ) the longer range models verify.

I take it all back after a decent covering of snow last night.

---

one half inch slush event does not a winter make (or perhaps it does in the modern winter;)) but i don't think calling winter over is the call with such a very quiet atlantic across most models.

---

At least you had a white covering! All the moaning and whinging about those of us down south "getting buried" but actually, although it snowed continuously for about 2 hours, none of it settled at all! All we have is sheet ice on the roads where the melted snow froze overnight.

Now there is a band of snow approaching, but my PWS says 2.4C. So I'm not getting too excited.

We had NO snow in Fulham just heavy rain yesterday and reading the poster's comments in the model output thread I get the distinct impression we have missed our chance snow for London for the rest of the month. I wouldn't be a bit surprised that one the Atlantic ramps up in a week or so time that's it for the rest of the meteoligical winter.

This post might ruffle the feathers amongst us Kent massive, but I'm LOLing at some people really properly losing their sh1t - and I mean those "This is the worst winter EVER, when will it stop???" kind of people on my facebook wall - over a couple of short flurries here at this end of Kent. Granted, my own coastal location got off lightly compared to inland hilly areas and some roads are being dicey at the moment but that's due to the 25 mm of yesterday's rain turning into ice overnight rather than the snowfall itself. 

If that 25 mm of rain all fell as snow yesterday, then that would end up being a much more noteworthy event in my books - but the fact that it hadn't so I guess it was a pointless statement on my part. However, for now at least I can say that I did get to see an actual snowfall but only so that I don't feel left out.

Get back to me when we have a 12th Jan '87 type event. That was properly something to show off.

PS: It is snowing again, but with an air temp of 3.2 and dewpoint close to freezing, I can't see it settling.

Looks like (in my location anyway) that from Sunday onwards it's back to the drab dullness.

Well you do live in Wolverhampton.

In any other country yesterday would have been a freezing rain sleet/snow mix event, it was bizarre to see the BBC this morning, pointing to snow on the grass where you could see mostly grass! and frozen slush on the roads.. almost as bad as yesterday eveing whent they were talking about cancelled flights at heathrow with not a snowflake in sight at that point! Even the East Coast Flooding is looking over egged!
The event for my part of Hampshire yesterday was the rainfall, with 31 mm on the Isle of Wight and lots of roads awash. and we had no warnings about that ! Most of Hampshire stayed green, although a rogue shower gave a few places a very slight dusting to North Hampshire lat last night,

The sun is out and with the heating on and all windows shut (I usually leave a couple of small windows ajar to let the air circulate indoors), it is actually properly roasty toasty in my famed west-facing hobby room. If I close my eyes, I'd be forgiven in thinking spring has arrived early.

Of course, it is a different story outside with that strong north west wind where it's making the current 4.9 C feel bitter cold.

We had some snow in North Kent yesterday evening which amounted to a 2 inch covering. Also it snowed a little this morning from 10am to about 11.30am, but too fine to settle. Is that it? I mean really? What has happened to the famed easterlies bringing copious snow to Kent in the past? This winter really is a incredibly mediocre isn't it?

Look at this link to see predicted snowfall totals across Europe for the next 3 to 6 days. Note the bright colours in eastern Europe. Note the absense of any snow for the UK!!
