Snow Watch: London, Se England & East Anglia

[NickyS]

About 10 mins ago, your pavements should be slightly wet.

Paul S

I know <_<

ah... well, if that's all we're getting at least we'll be able to get home!

[snowray]

snow started here. lot more to come by looks of the radar! could be some real problems for rush hour if it settles

Indeed! The BBC have been caught out AGAIN!!! <_<

[rubble79]

moderate snow now. I'm so lazy that i've set my webcam up by the window so I don't have to get up every 5 mins to check <_<

[Paul Sherman]

ah... well, if that's all we're getting at least we'll be able to get home!

Might be an Idea to look at the radar, only Light at the moment with more heavier bursts to the North heading South

But yes It really is not going to amount to that much in the Capital

Yes looks as if the front is shifting back west - all of London covered by 1900......? <_<

[yamkin]

Light snow here and temp is 4c.

The MetO sent out a weather warning very late to the duty manager at the Croydon council.

The snow onslaught is yet to come <_<

[Louby]

it has just started snowing here, not much mind, temp is still at 4c.

[A Wintry Mix]

Excuse me for not getting excited <_<

[danm]

good to see this thread busy again. the last couple of days have been depressingly quiet, with no snow to forecast

[Michael Fishermans Friend]

Now 4C and dewpoint of 0.6C, but cloudy and dry here in the land of no snow - but waiting with baited breath. <_<

[Great Plum]

Just started snowing here in Biggin Hill, Kent.....only slightly, but fairly big flakes.

Light snow here and temp is 4c.

Are they expecting much for Croydon then?

The 9 flakes of snow have stopped here for the minute!

I don't know, I seem to remember (although I'm not quite with it today, laid up in bed fluey) this morning Matt Weatherboy (as I call him) did say it could cause disruption during rush hour.

That's more like it... <_<

[Sno' problem]

Very light snow in Hammersmith but now seems to have stopped. <_<

Yup, light rain now...

[PB22]

Cloudy and dry here in east Suffolk...awaiting precipitation.

[kold weather]

Looks like best chance for settling snow will probably come between 6-9pm, after that dew points should start to rise as a weak low pressure center starts to develop and the milder starts to tuck in behind.

At least the cold spell is going out with some snow, better then some other cold spells have gone!

Yes it seems to be. Looks like areas to the east of London such as yourself may actually get a decent fall now as they are no longer forecasting it dumping in the North Sea. Here in west London I'd be delighted with a pretty inch to see off the winter...

[Tim Bland]

Heavy snow and 1.2c here starting to settle

[spayne]

Just starting here in Brentwood, very light but def snow!!!

[Coast]

Indeed! The BBC have been caught out AGAIN!!!

To be fair I think this has caught a lot of people out and is another one of those knife-edge calls. Last time it was a shout for more snow than many got and people were disappointed as expectations had been built up. For us mere mortals this might be even more exciting because a few hours ago we weren't expecting anything!

I wouldn't be a professional forecaster for any amount of money, it must be like being a traffic warden!

I don't know, I seem to remember (although I'm not quite with it today, laid up in bed fluey) this morning Matt Weatherboy (as I call him) did say it could cause disruption during rush hour.

Its gone from probably not settling this morning, to 1 cm max early pm, to 1-3cm now.

Yes indeedy, some small comfort hopefully for the snow lovers who have missed out in the East recently.

BBC 24 hour forecast updated to light snow in London starting 1800. Turning to heavy snow overnight before a period of light rain.

[danm]

the graphics on the latest n24 forecast showed quite a large area of snow over these parts. didnt look fragmented like earlier forecasts. according to the graphics, for london, the main snow kicks off around 6pm and lasts until 10-11pm, then starts to fizzle out and turn to rain. so hopefully should get a few cm's if we're lucky and it starts to settle.

Getting heavier now, 1.1c and leaving a dusting on the lawn and dry surfaces, not the road currently.
