Re-started again after a brief pause!

Seens to be a very slight change in wind direction, more N.

0030 MetO radar looks cool.

i have to keep getting up to look, its like being kid again!!!

[Noctilucid]

Snow still falling at a steady rate here, its been going for 6 hours more or less constant here now.

Quite a large covering here now by London standards, 3-4cm estimate.

Damn fine winter.

Hah thanks for the link MCT, some rather drunken snowball fights going on in city centre.

Shouldn't laugh, but just witnessed a guy cycling down the road one handed whilst holding something under his arm............yes you guessed it, he's just wiped out. Got up and continued his journey....walking with his bike!! The snow is relentless, I've not seen anything like this in London before.

[HighPressure]

Before this thread gets underway I wanted to say a big thanks to all the NW guys for keeping everything going tonight you must be snowed under (sorry for the pun)

[Mammatus]

cant be far from me then seasons

Not far at all mate. Some heavy snow showers developing to our east, northeast now......... Could get very interesting for our area again. (Sudbury through to Haverhill).

*For some reason I can't upload a radar image from NW extra 5 min* It shows quite clearly what we could be getting in 30 minutes......

Thanks paul glad to see your not giveing up yet mate. Here in raynes park 13cms and counting with the main precip not yet ariveing still in the north sea things are going to get better and better i have my pro plus red bull and 40 menthol. ice spikes about a inch thick hanging from lamposts. also just listened to the surrey forcast the low comeing up from france is suposed to give seven hours off heavy and severe snowfall to give another 10-20cms. this is brilliant. B)

[tasty_snacks]

couple of pics. from front door only - didn't want to ruin the view with footprints! can't see anything but the walkway. the colur of that sky is something to behold, and check out the icicles on the lampost!

Wow tha'ts amazing!

[TA_Snowboarder]

cheers again seasons, you may have just kept me up abit longer!!

[coxxy22]

snowing nicely now in portsmouth and settlein very fast B)

[rctonka]

Looking at some of those pics, we havn't got half that amount, although it has been snowing steadily here in Rayleigh there is probably 3-4 cms at the most although the wind is blowing most of it around

[wellington boot]

Got probably 2 inches now. Look like things are going to quite down for a while here though. Here's a not very interesting picture.

By the way Andy_Leics, we actually do pretty well in the south east corner. We got 7 inches in 2005 in the far south east (localised since london and north kent didnt get it), and every other year for a while we've had at least 3 inches at some point.

[KT]

Hertford Hertfordshire snow.

I think my partner needs Head and Shoulders. B)

We have got 2 1/2 inches or 6 1/2cm of snow.

While I am typing this it is still snowing. :o

[yamkin]

We now have 4 ins of snow here and it's still snowing B)

Croydon Council have declared an emergency based on the latest MetO advice.

We are now expecting in excess of 8 ins + here and more from late morning.

All personal are working flat out and all have decided to take less breaks to help out.

It really is going to be quite bad out there especially late morning with heavier snow forecast.

Please take extra care if you really need to venture out.

[donna-m]

officially snowing here now, half mile from the coast, and not stupid pellets

B) :o

[rubble79]

What's the best settings for a camera to take night photos? Flash isn't a good option and I'm baffled by iso's etc. Thanks

[Sno' problem]

Im 39 and have seen some good snowfall in my teens, but tonight rivals it big time, simply unreal in Kilburn with the main A5 totally white!!!

I just went out around Notting Hill, it is completely blanketed, but the main thing i noticed was...There isn't one road that has been gritted, there are vehicles really struggling out there, with over 4" of snow, there are gonna be a load of accidents out there, so sorry to be boring, BUT PLEASE BE CAREFUL!!!

Beyond that, it is ruddy gorgeous out there, only the sound of the snow rustling and people having snowball fights! Feel like a child again, and a bit cold and soggy. B)

[Noctilucid]

Eerily quiet here, even at this time there is usually a few people out on the roads, the only people mad enough to drive are the bus drivers.

I wish i lived in the city centre now so I could go out an join the drunken snowfighting madness.

Also no roads gritted here. :o B)

[TA_Snowboarder]

best stick it on non flash then. it will do the iso etc for you. just need to hold camara steady. make use of any extra light like lamp post etc
