  1. Back to a few flakes in the wind. Heavier stuff to south seems to be filling and heading this way though.
  2. I'm not complaining! That constitutes a good fall around here. Before last year we hadn't had so much as a covering since January 2013. Before that it was January and December 2010 then you're looking at maybe 2 coverings in the whole of the 2000s! This is a treat.
  3. Just been out with the dog. Nothing like the sound of fresh squeaky snow underfoot! Very wet snow though and very different depths depending on surface. Varies from about 5-6cm on some cars and plants, to about 2cm on some pavements. I'm guessing that the temperature being just above freezing has contributed to that. Looking at radar, looks like snow easing for now as band is still heading north. Some heavier showers still to south so maybe a bit more to come.
  4. Looks like a clearer slot moving up; must be all the anger from @kold weather! Maybe it'll fill again that it has been doing for the last hour.
  5. You'll be really angry when that hole shrinks to 100 metres!
  6. Whereas I have a light grey cloud and dry on the MO app, and yet it's snowing heavily! I expect it'll stop when the heavy snow icon appears...
  7. Main roads are pretty clear here, but plenty on pavements etc. http://www.reading-travelinfo.co.uk/live-traffic-cameras.aspx
  8. Starting to think we may be in a real sweet spot here just south of Reading. Over last ten minutes greens and yellows have started appearing right overhead.
  9. Local differences are amazing. Up here it just keeps filling: Every time I look at the radar it seems a drier slot is approaching, but then more appears. Temperature 0.1 DP -1 Pressure 981.2 falling slowly. Will be watching for the pressure to steady which would indicate that the front is stalling. To be honest, it's falling so slowly now I think it has already slowed right down. Three Mile Cross.
  10. Still coming down nicely here. Probably around a 6.5 on the Murr scale.
  11. He won't sleep! He'll be waking up in a cold sweat after dreaming about radars and checking the window!
  12. Everyone is praying for a cm of snow in Liphook! I hope that @kold weather blurs the private bits when he shoots the YouTube video in his birthday suit!
  13. Ah! It's a nice campus. What's the temperature reading there?
  14. Temperature has edged up to 0 here in Three Mile Cross, but still reading a dew point of -2. Snow is back up to 5 on the Murr scale, so snow getting heavier again. Are you on campus at REading Uni?
  15. I really want to belive that Met Office forecast because Reading is somwehere under that yellow blob. I take back eveything I said about your app being rubbish MO!
  16. I notice the goal in the background; I'm assuming any football will be called off this weekend?
  17. *Prays to the weather gods* Headline news in Liphook Observer next week "Man dances naked through streets of Liphook in Birthday Suit"
  18. Back to 3.5 on Murr scale now as slightly heavier band pushes up from SE. Three Mile Cross.
  19. Chin up @kold weather! Maybe you'll be in just the right spot for the pivot and wake up to a surprise! Seems to be some filling going on just east of Basingstoke. In line for Reading if it keeps intensity.
  20. The Met Office app has been as useful as a chocolate teapot when it comes to forecasting this snow! At 5pm I was supposed to be under drizzle, and it was showing mostly sleet from about 9pm. About an hour ago it has heavy snow through to about 3am, and it now has light snow (which is correct), dry until 11pm, light snow until 2am and then heavy snow until 6am! It's making it up as it goes along!
  21. In to the lighter band of PPN now; back to light snow. Temp -0.3 Dp -2 Pressure 981.9 falling slowly. Three Mile Cross
  22. So, can someone remind us of the definitions for the Murr scale?
  23. Has been so far and I see no reason for it to change! If it wasn't moving north why is it snowing in Reading?
