Massive wet clumps of snow here in Walsall for the past half hour, though it's now turned into rain and is tailing off.

See ^^.  I can confirm that the Berwyns were indeed white over this morning, first time this winter - wonder when will be the last time?), once the cloud had lifted.  But they aren't now as far as I can see (but I'm looking into the sun.....)

Stop talking about snow! I'm in a tent!

It WAS you!!!
I wondered who owned the bent at the far side of the field. Then Rich turned up and mentioned a Kim going home.
Kim?
Bent?
Tent?
Na it couldn't be!
Then as you were leaving I noticed the Yacf Jersey!

First flurry of snow of the season here in West Sheffield this morning before dawn - didn't stick around to be noticed, though...

There's none down in Hillsborough

The guy who lives next door but two to me reported seeing snow this morning. I looked outside and couldn't see any.

I mentioned this to Phyllis who then told me an amusing anecdote that perhaps ought to be in a "Child Utterances" thread but it relevant to this one.

Phyllis's (and my dad's) youngest sister, Glenys, was married to Arthur, a keen gardener. Every couple of years or so would see him sprinkling lime liberally over his turned sods. On once such occasion, next door's small child could be hear wailing "It's not fair! They've got snow next door but we haven't got any!"

I saw a few flakes in the air this morning here in west London, nothing settled on the wet ground. The temperature was about 2C.

Driving up towards Birmingham today, at around 7 am just north of Oxford on the M40, there was an intensive slushy-snow storm reducing visibility a lot, for about 5-10 minutes, before clearing away.  There was a brief settling of white stuff on the hard shoulder.  Then as the sun came up, it was all blue sky & sunshine.

A few flakes in Chester, most are not making it to the ground.

A few flakes in the rain on my way home tonight but no snow. I'm guessing the fells will have had a dusting.
