Snow Watch London, Se England & E Anglia

[deehamps]

Wow - Looks like i'm in for a snow day (something between a holiday and working from home). We have about 6 inches of level snow something i haven't seen for at least 20 years and it's getting worse!!!

[LLWA]

HOLY CRAP

The last time I saw those snow depths at low level was back in Feb 1991 and I still had to walk to school in it. Fantastic streamer you've got there and a lot more generated than I initially thought when looking at the synoptics.

yes and still alot off showers comeing off the north sea and still keeping the snow streamer going. then we got the low comeing up from france could give a further 10-15cms thursday has another warning out for 10-15cms aswell

As steve said my house is on for the magic 50cms currentley 18 and a bit inches

I have now recorded 30cm - 1 foot of snow

Right, it is still snowing heavily which is only the starter.

The main course has yet to arrive. In a few hours time I am confident that 40cm + will be recorded here.

[Jayces]

Dissapear, as in you have over 6 foot of snow?

Absolutely fantastic.

I'm really happy for you lot down there (although admittedly jealous too). Just shows what a good potent upper cold pool; slow moving and slackening trough to the south and a conducive gradient and convergence zone - can do for short term massive gains in snow.

Well that would certainly be interesting! Gonna get breakfast for the missus now rather than later!

[Snowy Bob]

Depressed by the lack of snow here.

Really unhappy...

[Jayces]

Here you go, some pics to give an idea of depth.

Just seen a neighbour walk to work, the man is insane, no way I would even attempt to get to central London today.

One is of our garden, the other a dvd on top of a plastic toy bin lid to give you an idea of depth. I've measured and it is about 9 inches / 23 cm's on the path.

10cm Chelmsford. Continuous snow throughout the night.

Will be getting heavier this morning with the same to come before warming up tonight

If the 0Z GFS happens at the end of this week, this event will look like a joke compared with what may be on the horizon

[Amanzi]

Morning all. What a snow fest! It is still snowing here and we are up to 20cm here in Ewell.

[Snowmun]

Anyone know if this is just an essex thing I'm travelling to Suffolk is it as bad there?

Fantastic pics mate

I really am astonished at the amount of snow in the SE, very gutted at the same time though...

even larger teapot??

[Tom D]

Been out with the old ruler, we've got 13-15cm widely with 18cm in places, such as up against the backdoor!

I don't think I have ever seen this much snow.

[SLEETY]

About 4 inches here on the Sussex coast-and its still snowing heavily-What a fantastic day this is going to be

[West is Best]

I don't think I have ever seen this much snow.

News programmes are reporting it as the biggest fall for two decades! The pictures do look stunning.

[Snowy Bob]

Why is it that parts of Sussex, such as Shoreham have had more snow that ourselves. Surely as we are on the far east coast of Kent that we would have got hit

[Jayces]

All, that is ALL London buses have been cancelled.
