What's happening your way?
Currently thick and fast (oo-er missus) in Derby.
The sky is absolutely full of it.

In South Yorkshire near the Peak District. Lots overnight and today but it’s gone now. Was gorgeous on Easter Sunday. Spent the day in the garden with family. Can’t believe the difference.

@FannyCornforth I'll give your regards to the beach!

Hail after a 30 minute flurry of snow at 5.30. The ground is merely wet. “Feels like” - 1C but the temperature is noted as 3C here on the Sefton coast (t’other side of EV’s Costa Mersey), Fanny.

Just starting again and judging by the sky, we're in for rather a lot this time around.

Heavy flurries this afternoon and early evening in South Yorkshire but nothing settled and all is now calm and the sky is clear and tinged with the pink of the setting sun.

Shandy you are on the Northumberland coast?!
You are living my dream ?

mrshat Tue 06-Apr-21 19:34:38

Flurries throughout the day here on the Herts/Bucks border. Now have 'white' lawns, plants and garden furniture. Bitterly cold hmm

Witzend Tue 06-Apr-21 19:27:07

We had a couple of flurries, then the sun came out.
It was still perishing cold, though. (Outer SW London)

Sky's a bit threatening here after a short burst of snow. That wind is cutting with 2 degrees on the Costa Mersey. No buckets and spades today. Heating's on but the knee-caps are like ice grin

G/Net has been intermittent with a 502/ 522 Error this afternoon.

In North Cheshire we have had blizzards on and off this afternoon but the snow melts away almost as soon as it falls. It's still bitterly cold; my outdoor thermometer said 1 degree a few minutes ago.

Here in Berkshire we have had brief snow showers this afternoon and have just had some flurries around half an hour ago.

Springlike it aint!

Blossoming Tue 06-Apr-21 19:08:48

About 5 minutes of snow, otherwise glorious sunshine all day ??

Aldom Tue 06-Apr-21 19:05:37

Snowing again, not far from Oxford shock Quite heavily, but not sticking.

Bluebellwould Tue 06-Apr-21 19:00:16

A brief flurry of flakes swirling in the strong freezing wind, near Heathrow.

Oofy Tue 06-Apr-21 18:36:32

Bright spring sunshine here in Pembrokeshire, with a few wispy white clouds. 6 Deg C but feels colder as chilly wind. No snow. Kids here grow up hardly seeing snow

Aldom Tue 06-Apr-21 18:35:09

I'm in Oxfordshire and on Easter Sunday whilst out walking in Oxford there was a prolonged period of snow. We sang Jingle Bells as it felt more like Christmas than Easter. Today we have had a couple of flurries but not enough to bring on Jingle Bells grin

We nearly got to 4 degrees in the north of Norfolk SueDonim!

NfkDumpling Tue 06-Apr-21 18:28:14

Apparently that lumpy snow we had in Norfolk today is called graupel. I never knew!

PamelaJ1 Tue 06-Apr-21 18:25:18

Beautiful sunshine now but 30mins ago it was snowing here in Norfolk

Redhead56 Tue 06-Apr-21 18:20:28

My daughter WhatsApp me from Lancashire it’s was snowing there. Just-an hour later it was snowing and hale stones here Liverpool.

SueDonim Tue 06-Apr-21 18:11:16

Uh-oh, Met Office snow warning for us here in N of Scotland has just been issued. Batten down the hatches!

Shandy57 Tue 06-Apr-21 18:08:22

We've had flurries on and off all day in Northumberland but it's melted, lovely sunshine now and blue skies. Do be very careful near the sea, my dog and I got soaked with a huge and unexpected wave, I thought I was going to lose him.

I spoke to my daughter in Belfast this morning, she said it was heavy there.

shysal Tue 06-Apr-21 18:05:58

A few flurries plus a brief blizzard this afternoon in Oxfordshire.

SueDonim Tue 06-Apr-21 18:02:25

We woke up to about two inches of snow yesterday. It thawed as the sun came up but it’s snowed on and off ever since and hasn’t been above about 3deg.

Whitewavemark2 Tue 06-Apr-21 18:00:39

Sun but freezing
