Hubby tells me light flakes in Northwood - Middlesex

[snowmadchrisuk]

I love snow under high pressure, it dries the snow out and it settles straight the way even though it is only light snow. I seem to be on the weston edge so hope it doesn't keep moving east or I will miss my last covering for a week.

Also it is snowing at 2 degrees (Or at least that is what my weather station is recording) Where as earlier in the week anything over 0.8 deg was falling as rain. The upper air profile must be refusing to give up easy. This event is going down in my book as the unexpected snowy breakdown.

We have light snow falling too, but most of the precipitation will miss us I see!

[stewfox]

Snow grains on and off all day but nothing major really.

Last year I would have chased snow grains with a plastic bag

We getting another dumping then ?

Light/moderate snow falling here.

[NorthantsSnow]

Reports of snow in Thrapston but here a mere 20 miles away in Northampton, zilch thus far. Still, at least the east of the county is seeing something.

[snowmadchrisuk]

Can report moderate snow now in leicstershire with an increase in flake size Bring it on.

[avalonstar]

Snowing here in south Northants.

[NorthantsSnow]

A few flakes trickling down now. About 2 tiny flakes per minute. Yep, you can be sure London will fall apart later with such intensity.

[tom_f123]

Quite heavy snow falling here now, only just looked out so don't know when it started but already a dusting.

Quite big flakes falling and settling from a fairly dark sky, no wind.

[snowmadchrisuk]

Didn't think I would be doing this today but can now report heavy settleing snow . Temps fell to 0.1 a drop of over 2 degrees in 20 minutes. Pretty cool event all in all. PPn seems to be expanding rather than dying out . Great .

Gfs 12z now saying snow pretty much all night . And shows ppn moving west not east. In the words of macky d's " I'm loving it "

there must be more development quite quickly according to the reports, as the radar doesnt look like theres alot in the west mids unless its not acurate, wouldnt be a first

looking more like sleet or rain here now, might be because its gone very light and cant really see it to well though

[snowmadchrisuk]

Temps dropping here now -1 and pressure is dropping as well, I assumed pressure would hold steady with it trying to build in from the west but at the minute the east is winning.

[ISAAC]

light snow grains here since 2pm

[tom_f123]

Ohhhh looks like its gonna completly miss the west mids
