Snow Watch: London, Se England & E Anglia

[saint]

The depth total of 25cms is certainly possible locally near the Thames esturay I suspect but away from that and maybe the Humber I would'nt expect quite that much but we have to wait and see, still widely expect 10-15cms in the SE/East Anglia.

Hi Kold.

Can i expect some decent snow overnight?

[Hellboy]

Snowing quite hard here, I am currently just off Lottbridge Drove.

Callie

Clear skies here in Brighton. Hope some of your showers make there way over soon.

[LLWA]

Blizzards still going on here in wimbledon surrey 2cms in 20 mins best snow in ages

[PLANET THANET]

Planet Thanet and me have been crying all day!!!

please someone tell me that the NE corner of kent will get something tonight!

Please help!

I think we have to face facts, we have a wall of snow surrounding thanet and we wont be able to escape untill the great thaw sets in.

Evening all,

For those worried about NE Essex chances of snow, normally in this kind of set ups This part of the coastline tends to do fairly well as the colne estuary generates its own snow showers too which fall over colchester and the surrounding areas

[john mac]

Some really bright echoes now on the latest radar with an intensifying band of snow showers heading wsw into London! Chaos looks likely to ensue in the capital shortly!

will that hit me nick

Hello Callie!

If you've finished your shift, best get home now as Friday Street is starting to fill up!

If not, you'll have a quiet night with the 'punters'!

[wellington boot]

Sorry mate , unless the showers start forming east of us in the southern north sea then well. I'm in whinge mode

I've looked at where you are on the map and cant believe your not getting snow. your under snow according to the met radar. In any case, it will come.

we've got heavy snow at the moment here near t wells, and depths and moving past an inch now.

[hotsummer]

Pah and yet here just outside of West London it is clear!!! I WANT SNOW, I've been getting really excited about the prospect of a bit of snow with all these warnings from the meto and S&SW Londoners! I know one area can be clear and the other cloudy but this just takes the buscuit. Anyone know what we can expect here in the East Berkshire area?

Cheers

Another shower lasting approximately 10mins hit here - snow settled instantly and has given nice covering.

[kold weather]

The thing to remember is at the moment the only region that has any real forcing and instablity is indeed near the tHames with the snow streamer setting up.

However by about 2-5am the forcing will have increased quite a lot across the whole of the SE and so we should see much more in the way of shower activity in the region so no one should worry jus yet, still very much in the early stages...which bodes very well for those already having heavy snowfalls!

I think we have to face facts, we have a wall of snow surrounding thanet and we wont be able to escape untill the great thaw sets in.

hehehe.....maybe we'll wake up to that wall!!

[andy_leics22]

I reckon Paul S earlier wish has come true.

Snow showers to the SE appear to me moving from a ENE,ly direction and around the Wash there now appears to be a NE,ly instead of a ENE,ly.

Hopefully everyone is a winner.

Are you sure Dave? Earlier on today showers were moving in W/SW direction now they are moving in a straight W direction, this sucks for my location because it looks like it will be dry here for the rest of the night.

I'm just about to travel back to my home in Islington, North London but I get the feeling we won't get much... Am I wrong?

And have I a chance of getting anything from a Thames Streamer?

[runboy]

Well so far we have had snow showers since 9.30am, but the the showers have been fairly light with one or two good showers. The sun in between has melted a fair bit of snow and tonight there is a very thin layer. Skies are clearing and I'm not hopeful of anymore.

Someone pleae tell me Norwich/North-ish Norfolk are going to get some decent snow out of this. So far the snow we had in November is more than this.

[Jason H]

Snowing again in Bexleyheath. This could be a long night

I take it that doesnt include Ramsgate

[LLWA]

What time is the streamer suposed to set up?

[Upgrade]

getting heavier in sittingbourne now

Crikey - just looked out, a fair bit of snow has fallen in the last few minutes here, the roads have been gritted but are still getting choked with snow - think things could be extremely dodgy tomorrow.

[Iceni]

Ace forecast on Anglia ITV... 5–10 cm and could be 15 cm for S Essex and high ground (that's me ). Likely to stay cold all week with another reload or battleground on Thursday/Friday with our region on the front line. Lots of remarks like "heaviest snow for 5 years" and "coldest winter for 12"... hard core weather porn

Just popped my head out the back door with the camera and it was snowing like crazy, the grass is covered and drifting against the door — well if an inch or two is a drift. Just great.

[magicpatch]

Seems to have stopped here for now, but a good 2cm or so has fallen, should be an interesting evening.

[Essex Chelle]

My Oh and my son just went running out in the garden - really not dressed for the occasion and I couldnt resist grabbing a pic lol:

[saint]

Looks like some snow has acctually settled on the M25 in Essex!!

But the M2 in Kent the whole carriageway is covered in snow.
