East Herts Snow's Achievements

You may be affected by London's heat island effect...... I actually consider Ware/Hertford/Hoddesdon as the outer Northern limits of London nowadays, as it is so built up along the A10/Hertford Road corridor. As modern buildings become more and more well insulated in the future, London should begin to cool down again!

Its also very rural here so no town/city heat effect. The soil type around here also has more chalk in it which I recall reading somewhere has a lower dew point as it loses heat much quicker. All I know is since moving from North London to Buntingford a few years ago, the winters are much colder here, even though its only 20 miles North of London!

About 4 inches in Buntingford, North East Hertfordshire. I think the main helping factor was altitude. Using West Essex as an example, Waltham Abbey (40m asl) had a couple of inches and Epping (100m asl and only a few miles away) has had nearer to 4 inches. -

Yep so far the sweet spot for falling and laying snow has been West Essex with higher altitude - 100M ASL (Stansted/Epping) across to the East Chilterns and East Anglia Heights (Luton/Stevenage areas). -

You beat me to it, I was just about to say we have around 5cm of snowfall now. -

Those fields are at the back of my house! You would have loved the February 1991 snow storm, now that was blizzard like snowfall, with very heavy dry snow for 24 hours for many areas. -
I still remember the 1980's so well, Kent experienced some amazing snowfalls and was always the sweet spot for heavy snowfall!

We starting to get a slight covering on the ground now (cars are already completely covered). We just need the precipitation to pep up now and we would get a decent covering.

Does it ever rain or snow in Suffolk.... ;-) Is Suffolk considered the driest county in the UK? We visit Orford a lot and the soil is really sandy around there.

All snow now in Buntingford, East Hertfordshire. Starting to get heavier and beginning to settle on cars :-)
