In reply to mick taylor:
County Durham (North Pennines) - sunny spells, lots of storm clouds floating by in the distance, some come overhead. A mix of small flakes and graupel. Couple of inches lying where the wind hasn't stripped it into small drifts.
The last couple of days have had a very "lake effect" feel to the snow, although much of it was sadly lost to warm ground.
We've had multiple heavy snowfalls this winter, and sustained periods of sub-zero temperatures. Each seems to thaw about a day before the next one arrives; it's close to being the epic conditions seen around winters 09/10 and 10/11; coincidentally, now as then we're at the tail end of a solar cycle.
