It looks as though the wintry weather is going to go on for a while. It hasn't been unusually cold, but it's certainly gone on a lot longer than we've been used to the last few years.

Light snowfall here this morning. It's very small flakes, which indicates cold air - just below freezing, snow is sticky and that's when you get the big flakes. Nothing lying in the road though.

Seed snow earlier this morning here in Peterborough, over the last hour has thickened into clumpy flakes, falling fast and heavy.

snowing gently in South Cheshire but not sticking - probably means that about 10 miles away they have a dense covering

No snow yet here in central Belgium but I know it's snowing 30 miles north of here.  We had such a heavy frost last night it looks like it snowed and the garden is back to being frozen tundra again.   I things go like the last couple of years, I don't expect a proper warm up till mid to late March.  There isn't a single daff poking up its head yet and I do have loads.  There are still some snowdrops and one or two crocuses and hyacinths have sent small shoots above ground.  My winter flowering clematis cirrhosa has had buds on for weeks but none has opened yet since a short burst on Christmas day.  Obviously feels the need to hibernate a while yet.

You really are welcome to it down south. We have had our share over the years, but for the last few years almost nothing ;D ;D ;D Although as I look over the hills in the distance I can see just a covering. It's just a nuisance as it is one of the few days I have not gone to the allotment because of the rain and wind.
