Got more here too, again. All melted over the last couple of weeks, just a bit of ice left on the rock faces in the garden.

Now we've got another 6-8cm...
More forecast over the weekend!

I've not been on the forums or even thought about them for years, but I remembered this particular thread this morning 🙂 Forecasts of Snowmageddon in Huddersfield mean I'm on a train to London now rather than this evening. Looking on our security camera feed there's just a little bit more than a dusting right now, I feel cheated 😐

Some people seamed to think we were promised loads here (although local forecast only said rain) Couple of big secondary schools made the decision to close yesterday.

Its just a mixture of rain and very wet snow currently.

Same here (NW edge of the Peak District). Might be some wet snow lying further up on the hills but at the moment it's just a cold and wet day with the beginnings of small patches of slush in places. However I'm WFH so I don't have to worry about any travel stuff.

Starting to get a nice covering in Harrogate - it looks like the wet sort, but that's great for snowballs 🙂

Currently too cold for snow here (-8C) but what we already had has frozen into a bit of an ice rink.

That's not too cold for snow – it's less likely, but still very much possible.

It's never too cold for snow. It's just that in the UK that precipitation often comes with warmer air.

Exactly. I was in Oslo the other week and it was -25degC and snowing… too cold for snow is sort of an aphorism, but generally limited to the western parts of the UK.

Just cold rain in Nottingham, and a light dusting at home near Ilkeston.

Had a fantastic email from daughters 6th form college last night, announcong that they would be closed and doing online classes today in light of the yellow and amber snow warnings in their catchment area.

It finished with "Yes, we know this guarantees we get nothing more than a bit of rain"

Slushy shiiite here in Belpershire.

The pup labrador has had a mental 10 mins running at 100mph in the garden as a result.

Then jumped in the pond 🤬

It's OK in Matlock town centre - bit slushy on roads.

Head up the hills though and it's chaos! Slack, Cromford Hill, Tansley etc.

Up here in the East Cheshire Alps/North West Peak Massif it's proper snowing and, having watched a car try three times to get up the little rise outside the house, I think I'll be walking to Scouts tonight

South Sheffield, there's maybe 75mm on the shed roof but it's stopped now. The stuff outside the back door is pretty wet and slushy. Mrs has to walk the last mile or so home as the roads are blocked from abandoned cars!

Not as much in Woodlesford as there was in Morely. Needs to drop a couple of degrees to stick properly.

Had a fall of about 2 hours, but not sticking. Dogs enjoying the slushy field while it lasts.  Doncaster.

Absolute carmageddon in central Sheffield as always. Stuck vans and lorries all over the place.

Bunked off early and went sledging with Junior. Great fun.

Meanwhile in HX4 it's been heavy snow since 8am, probably got 3-4" and the forecast is heavy snow until 8pm, then sleet until 11am tomorrow.

In typical fashion it'll all be gone by Saturday as the temps are increasing.

Did it have a strange giant yellow ring hovering around it when you lived there?

Someone has added it afterwards. I doubt it has added much to the value.

I looked assuming it would be a snow-free roof indicating a weed farm!

Plenty lying around up in Skipton. BBC forecast (sleet) wrong, Met Office (heavyish snow all afternoon) correct.

Carnage here in East Lancs. Lot of roads closed over the tops due to crashes. Have it every year, slushy in the valley bottoms, blowing snow 2 miles and 800ft further up the road. Loads of people chance it in unsuitable vehicles, get stuck or crash and block the road for people with half decent tyres.

In slushy chesterfield and it snowed and settled for a few hours. Popped out on the bike around 3pm and headed east to higher ground but gave up as all the local stuff was horrible slushy half melted snow. Pretty miserable TBH.

We have about 1mm here. If there's one thing I cannot stand it's low-effort snow. Plan your attack, weather, keep it in reserve til it's cold and dry and then do it properly.

Still got snow here, horrible wet stuff that partially melted and then froze overnight. Just above freezing now and a mixture of slèet and snow but not settling. Horrible.

PS I like snow, the proper stuff like in jeffl's picture.

It was not too dissimilar at our house this morning. Came here to share, but beaten to it.

To add: I have been told the lambing snows are a sign of the seasonal movement jet-stream and the 'summer' weather systems starting to form...? Anyone able to confirm?

It's not snowy, but by heck that feels like autumnal wind, rain and temperatures. Plus the trees are turning up here, and have been for a couple of weeks.

I've got my eye on Baildon Moor, and Ilkley Moor and the tops over Haworth. I've got a trip up to Scotland this week, hoping to see something on the tops in the Dales and the Lakes.

If you're in Northern Scotland, you might need lube, not screen wash 🙂
