I reckon we've got about 7 inches on our shed roof now. No more forecast for today, so far as I can see, but it's going to be very windy.

Here, in Sunny S. Northants, there's been about a dandruffy fart's-worth in 3 days.
I'm off to do me shopping while the buses are still coming throught the village (they can slide in on snow but can't get out - could end up a bit congested!).

Ooh! We've got thunder and lightning as well as snow now.

Blimey. Didn't get that over the other side of the creek in Whitstable. Or maybe I just slept through it. It clearly did snow a fair bit overnight though.

We had barely two inches overnight here in SE London, it's melting rapidly, but the main primary school in Blackheath is closed. My son's primary school, barely 300 yards away, is open as usual.  He was not happy walking to school past the neighbours' kids playing snowballs  ;)

A good thing about temperatures below about 3 or 4 is no more nose drip.

Near my work: http://www.seacroftmarine.com/webcams/east/

looks a bit breezy.

CB6 is now in range of TBFTE, a dusting overnight, but snowing steadily all morning

maybe half an inch in total now

An inch or so here in the North Downs, melting in the sun. It was frigid when we got home about about 11.30pm last night. I doubt we'll be seeing the bin men (they are all men, I checked) any ungritted roads (all of them, it's Surrey) will have turned to ice.

Bin, picked up and gone here.  We have 10cm now, easy and the untreated road is still white.

Snow report from Chester.

About 1.5 cm yesterday morning. Sun came out in the afternoon and melted anything that wasn't shaded. Today light cloud and well below freezing.

Proved to be very useful this morning.
Useful until the moment I stepped onto the wet marble floor in Highbury and Islington station's ticket hall.
At which point it all went a bit

We've got SNO here now, about 10cm of the stuff and it keeps having extra flurries to build it a bit higher.

I declined to move the car at 5:20am this morning1, so Dr Beardy (Mrs) being made of YORKSHIRE and being somewhat bloody minded to boot, set off for the railway station. Being early, she completed her train journey before the Greater Anglian management were awake enough to cancel the service.

About 1/2 inch overnight, now thawed where the sun shines, despite temp not above freezing.

Currently snowing and sunshine, but no sign of a snowbow :)

The tiny dusting we had overnight has all but gone, tho temps are well beli2 freezing, and further showers are threatened (soon judging by the clouds). ETA - Yep, just started.
 
Looks like a real do in the Firth of Forth if the Met Office RED warning is to be believed - don’t recall seeing one of those before.

In other news, Gillingham and Chatham snow centre has had to close. Yep, you guessed it, because of the snow  :)

An inch or two seems to have settled here.
Temperature's sub zero.
For now.

Looks pretty.

Is it just me or my part of the world (Shropshire), but anyone else think this so called 'Beast from the East', is err, lacking some teeth?

Still no snow to speak of in Shropshire!

Still snowing here. We've had no heating all morning, as we had someone booked to flush the radiators out today. It's quite chilly. Still, I'm not complaining, because I'm not in work! Back to painting skirting boards...
