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.

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.

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.

Jon.

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.

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.
