Is the snow still forecasted to come back south this evening?
Yes but probably only light and patchy.

So my official measurement is 3cm on the grass in Twickenham. Can't complain, it was impressively heavy for an hour or so this morning. Slush fest now. Will be chaos tonight/early tomorrow when it freezes.
-
Turning heavier again here but quite wet snow. It's going to be insanely icy if skies clear later.

Back edge to my west starting to liven up again as it pivots.

Just passed peak intensity here in Twickenham. Reckon we have about 3-4cm on favoured surfaces.

Proud to present Twickenham's 3rd tangible snow event of the winter. This time just about sufficient to make a small margarita! Other two events also attached. Good variety if nothing else! Time to get a new hobby I think!

Some comparison made on the MAD thread at the moment with Feb 86 cold spell... I don’t recall much of that winter, with the exception of the exceptionally cold temperatures in Florida that January that contributed to the Space Shuttle Challenger exploding just after lift off on the 28th January...I was living in Haywards Heath at the time and vaguely a few very snowy days that possibly closed the schools.. can anyone else add any details?
I remember that winter quite well even though I was only 12. I was living near Winchester at the time and it was a frustrating month (where I lived at least) because it was dastardly cold but with very little snow. We had maybe 2-3 cm from a front from the east to kick things off then about 3 weeks of endless grey skies, bitter winds and just the odd light flurry. The problem was that the winds were just too south-easterly orientated, coming off a very cold but dry continent. With daily maxes close to zero and very low dew points the initial snowfall barely melted but was never really added to expect for a couple more cm right at the end during the breakdown.

Just thought I would sneak a peak at the "Dartmoor webcam" Nice!

Plenty of thunder coming from that cell to my north-west! Grrrr.
-
I was sure i heard thunder to my east at about 4pm but now that I am home there doesn't seem much evidence for this and I am beginning to doubt myself. Can anyone confirm? (or confirm that I was indeed mistaken)? Thanks.
