UKMO gave us 5 hours of light snow overnight this morning.
All gone now 😢

We're right on the edge of the snow warning but even if we do get some it's unlikely to pitch.

PestoSurfissimos · 04/02/2018 21:13

I really, really want some snow

itsazoohere · 04/02/2018 21:26

I seem to remember some of you are near Brighton-I'm on the coast v close to there.
My children are desperate for a snow day-but I just can't see it happening!
I sulk most winters after being let down by yet again no snow.

PestoSurfissimos · 04/02/2018 21:47

I’m on the outskirts Itsazoohere

But up high, so we get any snow that’s going, even when Brighton itself doesn’t...

GloriaSmud · 04/02/2018 22:32

We seem to be having an 'appeared from nowhere/not forecast' wintry shower at the moment. We've had a bit of snow settling but think it's melting fairly quickly.

WordWeasel · 05/02/2018 07:35

South Oxfordshire is looking like a snow-free zone this week. I'm gutted!

GloriaSmud · 05/02/2018 07:59

Having had a snow-free forecast the last day or two, the metoffice now have us down for 'light snow' 4-8pm tomorrow.
Word ~ you never know, you might get the odd flake/snow shower.

whatalifethisis · 05/02/2018 08:20

We have snow here in Kent but it's a bit half hearted :(

RatOnnaStick · 05/02/2018 08:22

Well, having not seen a flake all winter the children are very excited because we had a small flurry this morning in S. Kent with a bit more forecast for the next hour. I understand there were several accidents on the M20 earlier probably because drivers locally have no idea what this white stuff actually is!

whatalifethisis · 05/02/2018 08:31

Ok, I take it back...it's not half hearted now! I have to do a 60 mile round trip on the M20 to work so it's a work from home day for me :) (when I've finished mumsnetting of course)

itsazoohere · 05/02/2018 08:35

NOTHING down here on the SE coast. We are predicted sleet though-yay.
It's my sister's fault really-she bought a sledge yesterday.
Way to jinx it!

itsazoohere · 05/02/2018 08:42

Pesto-let me know if you get anything?
Last year I was so cross that everyone else had snow (honestly, I'm like a small child sometimes) that a friend bundled the children and I into the car and drove us until we found some. I think we got as far as the New Forest!
Was lovely Grin

GloriaSmud · 05/02/2018 08:51

whatalife ~ having a 'work from home day' might be a good move, judging by the BBC report here.

Lots of snow reports showing for the SE here. Smile

BishopBrennansArse · 05/02/2018 09:06

Snow falling here now but it's a bit meh

RatOnnaStick · 05/02/2018 09:28

That snow report is showing mainly n and w Kent. No use to me. We've had a few minutes here and there of proper fat snowflakes but mostly it's sleet. I'd rather it didn't bother.

magimedi · 05/02/2018 09:42

Had about 45 mins of big flakes - just a dusting & I hope it is now going to bugger off!

(Just in land from Eastbourne, Sussex).

PestoSurfissimos · 05/02/2018 11:00

Fairy flakes here - yay!!

whatalifethisis · 05/02/2018 11:15

Gloria hopefully by the look of that I might have a 'work from home' week Grin

anothernextsale · 05/02/2018 11:19

We woke up to snow, enough to cause chaos getting to work but now it's all gone ⛄️

PointlessUsername · 05/02/2018 11:26

NW London here and have not seen a flake. will we not be seeing any do you think Gloria?

GloriaSmud · 05/02/2018 12:06

whatalife Grin
pointless ~ you might get a few flakes or the odd snow shower but that's probably about it over the next few days.

Makingahome · 05/02/2018 12:15

I've just got rid of the unused sleigh. Bet it snows in Cornwall now.

BishopBrennansArse · 05/02/2018 13:03

Just had a heavy downpour of frozen rain!
