A good few centimetres overnight in North Yorkshire and constant showers throughout the day.
it's melted a bit and it's -3 outside now.
If it freezes and more snow arrives as predicted, it'll be fun tomorrow.

More snow overnight and there's now a foot of snow on our drive. And it's snowing again. I cleared 6 inches of snow from my neighbours path yesterday and another 6 inches today. They are a frail couple and he needs a wheelchair to get to the ambulance that collects him for dialysis.

Good job this snow was affecting the south east - otherwise it would never have made the news at all.

We have winter tyres on both cars (Honda Civic and Jazz) and I have to say they are chalk and cheese when compared to summers. The snow we had in Shropshire before Christmas was a good 300mm and when we were out around Shropshire Hills we only saw tractors and Land Rover Defenders, saw a few numpties in 4x4's stuck (they don't realise that with summer tyres they are no better than a normal car, in fact braking is worse due to extra weight of 4x4).

We are seeing very little snow so far just about 10mm but pretty cold, salt only works down to minus 5 degC so some roads that don't get sun still slippery though.

4" here and it's still going. Main roads are passable but the estates are lethal
