About 2 inches left in the garden this morning after the rain, expecting it to be all green when I get home tonight. What a surprise fall tho, just shows yet again that despite all the computers and the boffins at the met, snow is a nightmare to forecast.

Snow still hanging on in shaded areas for the fifth day. Lots of mist over the snowy fields and still half-frozen ponds.

Or put another way we have now had snow on the ground for the whole of February ;)


 


 


PS That’s a fascinating read John, thanks for posting!

Foggy earlier this morning so I couldn't see the hills on the other side of the valley. As the fog lifted it was a ghostly picture as they and the remains of the snow emerged.

Just to add to the satellite views that had been posted before, this is a zoomable map and you can change the date with the slider at the bottom. Feb 2 gives a nice clear view of the snow cover. The streamers from the east coast across Lincolnshire show up nicely too.

Opened the door to let dog in and surprised to see the place turning white. Where did this come from??

Just found this video on Youtube of someone driving through that surprise snowfall in St Austell, Cornwall 31st Jan 2019 (just to the north!).

North Staffordshire is so lovely in early spring.


Statistics prove that the period just after records began witnessed some of the most extreme weather ever recorded. Records were being broken on a frequency that has not been repeated since.

Down on Dartmoor at the moment and was hoping to see a few final flakes up on a Tor tomorrow, however far less shower activity now forecast so looks like that has gone down the pan lol.

Apologies if this has been posted elsewhere. A report of  'snow rollers' in a field in Wiltshire, complete with astonishing photos and a commentary from Ian Fergusson.

Extraordinary. Had to check the date that it wasn't the first of April.


2 miles west of Taunton, 32 m asl, where "milder air moving in from the west" becomes SNOWMAGEDDON.
Well, two or three times a decade it does, anyway.
