About 6" here on the North Lichfield Plateau. It's even given my car a quiff..

More snow showers disappointed to say the least.
snow joke 🙁
It is quite annoying how the media seem to have co-opted the weather so it's now a media event rather than just the weather.
Rubbish slush in Bristol. Thawing for a bit. And then re-freezing - usually at night. This seems to be something of a pattern, as far as I can tell.
Will update as necessary.
Loads around Birmingham, can't wait to go out for a spin later
To the OP, I really hope this thread has helped.
To take your mind off the issue, how about a song?
Just on case patriotpro is missing his updates, we had ~4" in Malvern on Friday and about another 1/2" today to top it up (though obviously what we had has settled a bit, so we don't now have 4 1/2"). All blown off the tops a bit, but good skiing conditions on the commons and golf course. Optimal grip wax for XC skiing is blue extra.
still nothing
Snowed earlier
Stopped now
Might snow again later
it has stopped snowing in leicester. been chucking it down all day. we have plenty of the stuff now.
inch or two near Keswick - fingers crossed (forlornly) for school closure
Kids school closed means papa gets to stay at home 😉
Time to get priorities in order and purchase sledge....
Boxelder - I believe it's heading your way - crossing fingers for you 😀
Side streets in Coventry are quite slippery after a lot of snow fell yesterday (a lot in a central England sense, not like when I were a lad up on rural Scotland) and have not been cleared, main roads are fine, but I still managed to drive all the way to the office in rural Bedfordshire (roads here are quite bad but no issue if sensible) and it was only about 15mins longer than normal.
However it seems it's all too much in Coventry and most of the schools are closed, including my lads!!!
Lots of snow overnight in the Hope Valley, schools closed, I have closed the office so a lunchtime snowboarding session looks possible.
Whiteout in Perth area, pretty windy. Just going to get the van warmed up for a pootle into work.
I'm going out, I may be some time.
chaos this morning
watching folk car sledging down a hill with the wheels locked clipping a wall to make the corner - like lemmings the next one did the same.
till an audi got its self wedged at 90 degrees between 2 walls with about 3 inches at either end and no hope of getting out without damage.
then the rest of the cars trying to do 3 point turns and getting stuck in the drifts at the side of the road.
turned about and took a road that the traffic announcements said was 4x4 only -in my RWD. was one of the best conditioned roads id been on all morning !
Left sock slightly moist after snow came over boot top at approx 7.15.
No serious damage.
There were a couple of cms of snow here yesterday - fine powder, but the roads were pretty clear this morning. My night heater ( aka PonceWarmer ) was working fine this morning and the car was warm and defrosted as I climbed into it.
It is a bit foggy now.
No snow today, OP.
Still nothing. 😥
FFS! I'm further north than Moscow
<looks out of window, again>
We finally got some yesterday in darkest East Anglia:

Plenty last night. Off sledging shortly!
Think this thread has the ability to go "stupid headset" distance?
Snowing all morning in Edinburgh but actually less lying on the ground now than there was when I was out first thing. Poor effort.
Went to Clent Hills today. Incredible skiing conditions - it would have been easy to imagine I was in Norway (to be honest the snow was better than what I've sometimes had in Norway). Definitely better snow there than in Malvern.
My sock's dried out now.
Thanks.
Snowing near Innsbruck right now - most of the day actually. In fact, most of the week.
Still snowing here.
still nothing to speak of despite the showers.
Blizzard here, walked up and down the mile long drive at work for the first time this winter today.
Yey some snow at last
Got 5 inch out here bru
Took the fat bike out for a spin earlier to the quarry - might as well been on skinnys was hard work in the powder as it was so deep
Hd to bash through 3 ft drifts getting out to garlogie this morning , gert fun !
Oh and got some strange looks off neighbours for clearing snow off the drive this morning before it froze ...guess what those neighbours will be digging out but much deeper and more frozen at 6.30 am
No snow again. Looks like the weekend's dumping will slowly compact and turn to ice.
Boom! It hit here today. Knee deep around work site. Proper good snowball fight with the guys today. And my staff decided to climb on the roof, wait for me to exit the building and off-load the contents of the roof with well timed accuracy on my head. I was floored. I think I came close to feeling what it is like in an avalanche... 😆
Just started effing snowing again here in stourbridge. Annoying as I'm waiting on parcels from Royal Mail / crc and I know the bloody delivery van won't drive down my street (mega incline) 😥
@ matt maybe not the best thing to say just now.
A fair point bruneep. But next week we are on avalanche and winter training for work.
It's been snowing sporadically here in Bristol - sometimes large flakes, sometimes small, sometimes mixed with rain, sometimes not.
Interestingly, every flake appears to be different in appearance - as if each one is unique.

Thanks, you gave me a chuckle. Nice to know your a good sport, but this requires revenge 😆

No snow again.
You can have some of ours if you like.
What colour do you fancy?
Big thaw overnight, snow this afternoon but not settling.
Thanks rocketman - I've always suspected it might be the case, but it's nice to have confirmation.
Every day is a school day, even when the school is shut. 8)
What colour do you fancy?
Yellow.
Small but heavy flutter in the north Surrey Hills followed by thaw and some breaks in the cloud.
Roll on Thawmageddon TM
No snow in sw pembrokeshireworld at all in the last week.. back to sideways rain for at least a week. Watch out for flooding and standing water.
Apparently there will be more snow tonight. Will keep the OP updated.
nothing here Jamie - even the snowman's nearly gone 😥
Hang on, ... !!!
nah, false alarm. Birdpoo probably
West London Update:
There has been no new snowfall in the last 24 hours. Still chilly though.
Disappointingly,
we've still not been snowed-in (2cm last week not really enough),
the army haven't been out on the streets,
nor indeed have we suffered any sort of [b]-20°C ARCTIC BLAST!![/b].
More importantly, the Princess Diana conspiracy has still not been admitted.
I demand a refund from the Daily Express!
The head fell off my snowman last night
That is all!
Been away working all week. There was snow when I left. It is still here. Snowman has reduced in size by about 20% in the four days - I will take a more accurate measurement after lunch.
Thanks to all contributors on this thread. Once again shows what an excellent public service function STW provides to communities in difficulty all over [s]the country[/s] Hebden Bridge.
dry and a bit chilly in Portsmouth. 1.35 pm approx
(I can't vouch for that personally but my colleague thought you lot should be told)
Still snowing at the workshop, bored now 👿
A light dusting has commenced here in the Shire, i aim to get a final night sledge in prior to the big thaw, then off t'brewery 😀
How's the M4 corridor looking? If it's bad I may have to leave early. More concerned about bad visibility than snow on the roads.

What goes ha, ha, bonk?
A snowman laughing it's head off.
Still no snow.

The snow outside.

Nope. None here.
I'm starting to think Drac has stolen all my snow 🙁
Plenty here and did I mention it's still snowing.
give us our snow back
Was snowing here at 8am, and it was still snowing at 6pm and didn't stop at any point. Not looked outside since then.
Nope it's ours been here since last week, get your own.
Oh and I've just been to the bin and now I've got snow on the bottom of my shoe.
POIDHOh and I've just been to the bin and now I've got snow on the bottom of my shoe.
Torrential rain in pastyland.

You live in a Greggs?
Oggy Oggy or Ginsters down here boyo...
Right. Something is falling from the sky. Not really snow....more sleet. Bah.
