You've probably got to look pretty hard for lying English snow that
that is accessible by road, but here's some at the Cat & Fiddle pub
at 515m asl.

http://www.maccinfo.com/cat/

The road was apparently closed to lorries earlier today.

Nothing on Winter Hill above Bolton (and I took a good hard look),
which is 456m so not quite high enough on this occaison.

I think today was one of those days that was meteorological
unusual given the track of the low and the central pressure
reading rather than any really unusual weather conditions.
Sure, it was wet, windy, cold, raw and very unpleasant but
nothing that the general public would think of as being
anything out of the ordinary for this time of year.

Hi Col, there was continuous moderate sleet here all day with the temp stuck
between 2.0 and 2.5. The precip was 70-80 percent water and 20-30 percent
solid. The highest bit of land I can see from the house/garden is about 400m
asl. There was no sign of anything lying there. If I walk a couple of hundred
yards over the fields I can see hills that go above 500m but I wasn't going to
do that in today's weather! The vis wouldn't have been good enough anyway. The
stuff on the ground at the Cat & Fiddle looked pretty wet. The temperature
there was probably just above zero.

One of my esteemed colleagues flew from Birmingham to Londonderry earlier
today and tells me there was "snow on the hills", although I don't know
which ones.

There were many warnings and a lot of talk about a "potentially
dangerous" system. Here in Dawlish, there was no damage I have seen
and we got a grand total of half and inch of rain, though I admit it
kept me awake for a couple of hours. Like last weekend's damp squib;
would you say this was overplayed - again.

Fairly easy in Cumbria this morning, still some around by dusk
A689 Alston to Stanhope
A686 Alston to Penrith
A66 Stainmore
A592 Kirkstone Pass
B6277 Alston-Middleton-in-Teesdale
Plenty of other ones aswell

350-400m was the height of the snowline with 5-7cm of lying snow on
the tops, visible signs of drifting. Not bad for 8th Nov.

Not really, no.
Nobody was ever predicting widespread severe gales or very high
rainfall totals with attendant flooding.
It was going to be cold, wet & windy and that's exactly what we got.
