Default 2008 "where's my snow?" complaint thread

Thought this might be of use...!

All quiet here in Central London - a lot of the northward moving
precip approaching London seemed to fizzle before reaching here,
although there does seem to be a blob to the SE of the City at the
moment.

I still have hope of seeing a snowflake this winter. I think.

I think I spotted a snowflake earlier today here in north Manchester, but it
may have been those "Siberian" temperatures causing hallucinations again.

---------------------------
It went East so to speak. Small amount in East Kent and about 10 mins of
fine drizzly stuff here, mid morning. Temperature has now dropped back from
2.4C max to only 1.8C but dew point has risen and the current pale blue
radar blob is producing some slight sleet in the wind. Doesn't warrant a
[WR] Snow report I'm afraid, Richard.
Dave, S.Essex.

Stamford, Lincs.


5 flakes fell on me walking to the pub. I'm very angry!


At least it's snowing in Saas Fee where I'm off to next week

Very thoughtful of you Richard.
25 minutes of very slight snow/snow grains mid morning, slight drizzle
at 1510z. Local Council took the very rare precaution of gritting the
main road through the Village last night, and with just a Tr of ppn
and little traffic it has mostly blown off the road, or been thrown up
into
pedestrians faces by the odd 4X4 that has braved the conditions
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to complain, it will save me

About three hours' worth of sleet/snow in the Dover area in total,
giving a semi-covering on higher ground but pretty much all gone now.
