    Snowing lightly again in north Hampshire. Lying on roads and paths immediately unlike yesterday when it took a while for the snow to lie on concreted areas. Obviously ground temperatures are much lower now after 36 hours of freezing weather. How long will it last? Radar watch I think.

    Just started snowing again moderately here in Odiham. You can clearly see an isolated blob of precipitation on the MetO radar that is perfectly aligned for you (Farnham) and then me. Looks like it will last for about half an hour or so.

    Just about stopped here in north Hampshire and judging by the radar that's it for now at least. Didn't expect to be walking the dog in thick powdery snow on 18th March. Fantastic.

    About 10cm in north Hampshire and still coming down moderately. Amber warning area spot on for here, although I do realise that other areas have got less/more than forecast.

    A good assessment of your recent posts.

    Snow growing in intensity due south of you in north Hampshire. Don't think it's all north. You were never in the amber area whereas further south all seems to be going to plan.

    Must be pretty close to peak now. Disappointed that the Baltic Sea hasn't got greater coverage.

    The current forecast is for the heavier snow to miss the south east. However, all the major forecasters are emphasising that this is open to change. We will have a much better idea of what we can expect this time tomorrow, by which time the models should be converging on a solution. Tiny changes in the models can result in huge changes in where, when and how much snow falls.

    Final bit of snow in the garden just about to disappear. The drifts at the side of some of the roads around here will probably last another week or so.

    Surely if the jet remains far to our south, there will be less of a north-west trajectory to this low. It could therefore produce more white than the models currently predict.

    Just come back from a walk in Farnham Park (Surrey). Beautiful pristine snowy walk with very little, if any, melt. Temperature 1C and the sun poking through the mist made for a magical scene. We should retain the snow for today but the thaw is sadly on the way.

    Temperature 0C at 5am. Undoubtedly above freezing now with dampness appearing at the edges of the snow. Still a full cover but not for long. This has been a tremendous period and I am delighted to have shared it with my fellow weather geeks. Our obsession with cold and snow really is quite odd.

    Nice moderate snow now on the Hampshire/Surrey border - probably had 3cm from this one so far. If any of those nearby want a reminder of this snowy period in the days/weeks to come, then get yourselves to Odiham and take the road to Alton. There are huge drifts (4-5ft) at the Odiham end. This road was blocked earlier today.

    Would be good. Only snowing very lightly here now - hopefully there'll be a few more intense bursts. From the reports on here it seems that the best area today is mid Surrey. Anyway I'm off to take the dog for one last 'snowing' walk.

    Let's hope you're wrong and that it is moderate/heavy and lasts another 3 hours - would be a very nice way for this freezing spell to finish.

    I would argue that freezing rain is the most dangerous of all winter weather. While I understand that it is difficult to forecast, surely once the MetO/BBC realise that it's happening over a pretty widespread area they should immediately issue a red warning
  18. coram
    Yes, moderate now in north Hampshire. Interesting that you think that after the next burst that will be it. BBC predicting snow in our areas until about 5pm - is there a specific reason that you disagree?
  19. coram
    Getting heavier now in north Hampshire. Come on.
  20. coram
    Light snow just started in north Hampshire.

    Great spell of weather in Odiham (due south of you). 1" Tues, 3" Wed, 3" Thurs and hopefully more today. The main road out of Odiham (south to Alton) was blocked by a 6 foot drift this morning. 3 foot drifts elsewhere.
  22. coram
    Larger flakes just started here. Hope it's the start of something and that the heavier snow gets much further east than forecast.
  23. coram
    I didn't say there was no such thing as freezing rain, just that there isn't any in 'our' region at the moment. I'm on this thread because I'm on the cusp of two regions and this one has a higher quality of poster. Like yourself.
  24. coram
    Can we stop this now. There is no rain, freezing rain or sleet anywhere in the region. It is all snow.
  25. coram
    Agreed. MetO/BBC/Meteo seem to have this one about right. West and north of you, I'm still hoping for an increase in intensity for at least a couple of hours but I don't think there'll be a big addition to the snow that is already on the ground.
