Snowing like mad here on the Wolds right now. Just got back from walking the dog in time.
I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that.

My colleague reports snow in Golders Green

None here yet, but it's a very chilly wind, my run later will be "bracing"

We had hail here earlier and now a few flakes of snow.

If you do decide to build snowpersons, ensure that they are more than 2 metres apart.

A few flurries here up north last night but not enough to notice. Odd microflake or two this morning...

Snowed in Herts for an hour yesterday. Right bang whilst we were out getting our daily exercise.

We had a snow flurry yesterday as we were out walking Jack.  We've just had a few flakes appear this morning but nothing of any substance.

Yes, I totally mis-read the conditions when we set out.
It was sunny and warm, so I set out in shorts, with a thermal top under a short-sleeved top.

The utter folly of this became apparent once the sun went in, the wind picked up and the first flurry came through.
By the time I'd done half an hour into a biting headwind and the third flurry had flayed me, I cut and ran for home.

There’s white stuff falling from the sky here in the wilds of the Angles. It forecasters have now updated their ‘predictions’ to suggest that it might snow here.
For every complex problem in the world, there is a simple and easily understood solution that’s wrong.

the back yard in the Fens is looking festive, with the bonsai covered in white, even the fuscia that is still in flower.

I predict it will all be a slushy mess by lunchtime.

I have a day off from work today (company holiday). Tipping it down here, the ground will be miserable wet slush very soon.

Snow in my son's garden near Colchester this morning. A mere 27.6mm rain for us yesterday. Now if that had fallen as snow...

We had snow as we woke this morning but, by the time I took the dog out at 8.30am it had changed from large dry flakes to sleety flakes.

Usual snow numpties and muppets on the road.  Four accidents in less than 1/2 a mile...

We live somewhere now where you can see orographic snow in action; there's a 120m high bank right in front of our house with a village at the top. They had snow this morning, we didn't. It's proper snowy over the high Pennines; drifts and snowploughs kind of snow.

Bit of a dusting around Durham, before reverting to the usual British slushy goop.

Yes, snow here (south Suffolk) first thing. It wasn't very much and it's gone now, even though the temperature is only about 2ºC. Far too iffy to go out onna bike, but a lovely day for a walk.

Snowing gently in Whitefield.
