The Official Winter Snow Thread 2014/2015

[IroningMan]

Raining since before dawn in Somerset.

One solitary snowflake symbol on the next five days' worth of hourly forecasts from the BBC.

Drat. It's stopped.

Woke up to a light layer in Thame, which went within the hour. SWMBO said Chinnor got a fair bit more, she used her extendable snow brush for the first time!

Raining here now though

[GetCarter]

We have severe gales at the moment, and an Air Sea Rescue chopper hovering on the far side of the loch. A very bad day to be in trouble.

Dodgy pic... it's 3+ miles away.

We had a decent coating of snow about 2 o'clock this morning, all gone by 8:00

[john2443]

We even had a tiny bit of snow in Brighton but turned to slush by 10 and gone now

[Blaster72]

Here's mine from Dunley Wood just outside Effingham. About an inch of rapidly melting snow had fallen this morning.

Even on the higher ground near Holmbury St Mary it was mostly slushy stuff on the roads with maybe an inch or two so settled on the cars.



Lots of cyclists still out this morning on the hills although they did look utterly miserable

[Roo]

Snowing quite heavily in Stockbury at the moment.

Those pilots and crew have steel balls the size of melons. It blows my mind the weather those boys and girls go out in.

We had snow-ish in Kingston this morning, lasted about 15 mins around 9am. It didn't stick at all, I fear that's it for the winter

[Sonic]

My iPhone app which is usually pretty accurate is predicting snow between 22:00 and 04:00 tonight in north bucks.... Presumably just a few flakes.

[a311]

Not my pic but someone's binned it going up Honister pass in the Lake District. It will most likely have been closed no doubt but isn't policed and all there is to stop motorists is a 'Road Closed Sign'.

This was about 5pm last night. It snowed about another 60cm after that. We woke up to a crystal blue sky, though



Why won't bloody thumbsnap orientate the photo's correctly. Grrrrrr!!!

PICNIC.

[schmalex]

The little sod got one right down my neck just after that!!

[Blaster72]

Let me guess, was it an iPhone?

[schmalex]

Thank you. Yes

Heavy settling snow in Reigate! Hope it continues and builds up!

Coming down steadily on Box Hill

I'm in Banstead so higher than Reigate but lower than Boxhill and got an inch or 2 last night.

Nothing in Croydon that I drove to at 7.30am.

Well, the current spell is about to end and a change is on the way.

Perversely it's not the Atlantic that's going to take over but the pesky high pressure that's blighted our winter is going to park itself around the UK.

Expect a swing to cold nights and hard frosts and sunny days!

As long as the sunny days melt the still lying snow here, I will be happy. It's rubbish after a few days when it's icy under foot and a slushy mess on the roads
