Just looked out the window, it's only 19th November! It's that watery type of snow, I hope it wont settle. Please go away, you're not welcome, come back in January at least proper depths of winter, not the tail end of Autumn, in fact better still don't come back at all. We're meeting friends for lunch today, first world problem I'm hoping my hair wont get wet grin

I'm in the south east, what's it like in your neck of the woods?

I’m in the S E, we have sleet, my sister in Hertfordshire has proper snow 🤷‍♀️❄️☔️

Cold and rainy in North Essex.

Bedfordshire near the Chilterns we had snow at 7am for a couple of hours it didn’t settle for long. My daughter in North London has snow too.

A friend said there was a bit of sleet earlier, I thought it was just rain when looking at the window. Chilly wind though. In the S.W

Another friend who lives in Yorkshire said she was shocked to see snow had settled up there. It was raining when she went to bed last night. She has to go out as she broke her glasses yesterday so is not impressed!

Cold and sunny here, thank goodness.

I think the weather's throwing everything at us this week!

ViceVersa Wed 19-Nov-25 10:41:51

Light covering of snow here - dog was delighted and promptly did zoomies around the garden!

Grandmabatty Wed 19-Nov-25 10:42:20

Very cold here in central Scotland but no actual snow where I am, although the hills have a goodly covering. I did have lots of ice on the frost cover on the car though.
It is unusual to get snow before Christmas and, if so, it is either just a covering or a ginirmous flump. Snow is more common in January. I dislike it regardless.

Weymouth Dorset here . A bright beautiful sunny day and clear sky , cold and breezy but my conservatory is warm .

M0nica Wed 19-Nov-25 10:46:21

Wow!

Sunny and very cold here in south Dartmoor. There might be a smattering of snow on the higher moors, weatherman said.

The snow had settled when I got up this morning. It's very icy still here so won't go out till it's melted. Can't risk a fall with my arthritic hip. I'm in North Wales.

Snowing here on South Downs, but it won’t lay as the ground is too warm.

This may be the winter -🤞 - as it due to warm up next week.

Also near the South Downs between those and the Surrey Hills in fact driving up past Surrey's very own mountain, Box Hill soon to meet friends, wondering if that will be snow capped grin Probably not! Too sleet like. I live in hopes this is a brief interlude and warmer weather is on its way. Double figures please!

ayrshire, blue sky and frost...

Mollygo Wed 19-Nov-25 11:14:43

Today in the North West, blue sky, 2°and bitter wind meaning it feels colder.
Yesterday, it alternated between pouring rain and bouncing hail.

Greenfinch Wed 19-Nov-25 11:16:17

We had about an hour of snow here in Berkshire between 8.45 and 9.45 but it didn’t settle because the ground was too wet. Our newly adopted cat was out in it and still has not come back. We are hoping he is OK.

Witzend Wed 19-Nov-25 11:17:12

We had some here (outer SW London) - very big flakes for a while, but it didn’t settle and didn’t last long.

Litterpicker Wed 19-Nov-25 11:17:28

South coast West Sussex - sleet, 10 minutes of snow, sleety rain brrrr

Hope your journey is ok ‘TB*

Jaxjacky Wed 19-Nov-25 11:20:53

Sleet in S Hampshire earlier, cold wind, cloudy.

annodomini Wed 19-Nov-25 11:21:04

Big wet snowflakes to start with in Berkshire but now looking brighter.

Tizliz Wed 19-Nov-25 11:26:35

Here in the Highlands (north of Inverness) we have had about 5" and still snowing. I have had to knock the snow off some of the shrubs before the weight breaks branches. But the dogs love it.

Doodledog Wed 19-Nov-25 11:36:20

I'm supposed to be going to a Christmas Fair in a remote area at the weekend. I hope it's not cancelled, or that the conditions are too dangerous to travel, as I've been looking forward to it.

Ziplok Wed 19-Nov-25 11:37:40

It’s really not unusual to get snow in November, particularly further North, but I agree, it doesn’t need to stay 😁. It’s been more sleety here than actual snow, but I believe parts of The North York Moors have had some. We are a bit lower down, so tend to be protected from the worst of it. It’s very breezy though, and the sky keeps looking a bit ominous.

Glorious looking day here in Cheshire. Clear blue sky and dry, but that wind! Really bitter. Stay safe on slippery roads and pavements.
