Tunbridge Wells is buried, must be at least 6 inches though haven't found my ruler to confirm. No cars likely to get out my road which has steep hills either way out. Moderate snow still falling, seem to have been under a snow streamer last few hours.

The true extent of the snow is now known as the sun rises!

Some beautiful air shots for the TV companys today!

forecaster on BBC 3 Counties said: little or no thaw of lying snow today as it has froze and expects it to freeze tonight again, mentioned we could get a few CM's on top of it Saturday night.

A winter wonderland in the run up to Christmas with little chance of a thaw!

79 schools in norfolk closed to far including my sons.

My daughters school is a cambs school but as she is in a wheelchair and needs lifting in and out she will not be in either.

Hard to say how much is on the ground . . where car tracks are it looks like a few inches but will measure in a bit.

Hope everyone enjoys the snow today but manages to stay safe esp this close to christmas.

Good news. I work up near Rochester airport, so a day off for me I think laugh.gif . Down here by the River Medway west of Maidstone, we have 6 inches so lord knows how much you must have on top of the downs.

Stay indoors! Bluebell Hill is closed, so you won't be able to get here! It is mad but fantastic!

Wow - we've woken up to about 5 inches maybe 6 in High Wycombe and I'm not even on a hill! I haven't been outside to measure properly cold.gif

My daughter's school is not on the closed list but as they are finishing at lunchtime anyway I don't think I'll be struggling in!!

Have fun today those who have snow, and those who haven't - you might still be lucky smile.gif

The ones that are trying are failing and can't make past it 10 meters at the bottom!:cc_confused:

Very nice!!!! A small amount in the middle of the evening and now a more sustained period of snow! I don't have to go to work today (chaos apparently in Mid Sussex), so plenty of playtime and photography for me. :cc_confused:

88 Norfolk schools closed it's pathetic really, makes you wonder how this country ever built the worlds largest empire ever lol.

A little more than a dusting perhaps 1cm or so now the suns slowing coming up, total cloud cover though, I hope it snows some more for the little ones, poor William was gutted this morning when he woke up to little snow and he's only 3

Gob smacked with some of the pics uploaded looks really good, very jealous

That must be one strong vehicle, Getting up a hill with snow is very difficult. I live on flater ground so cars should be able to move! :lol:

Well, on the high ground in Tunbridge Wells, my plastic ran gauge in the middle of the lawn cannot be seen - and that is about 6" tall.

It is still snowing quite hard. The radar suggests a bit more to come.

Virtually nothing here just 4 miles north west of Norwich. Strangeness. What has fallen is now frozen so local roads will be interesting regardless. Doesnt look like we will get any today either.

I must have 2 or 3 inches here in north london. IM pretty hhappy with that. But i what i found intresting is that the bbc weather has said 10-15 cm more snow likely over some areas today. MY guess perhaps around northwest kent and south east london but the snow did look to hit most ares today so more snow for many:)

Also, looks, like some snow for saturday night.:cc_confused:

Yeah!!:lol:

I'm glad St. Albans has altitude, seems to have helped us a lot! Compared to depths in other parts of Herts.

And I'm glad I live on a hill, means I can't get to work!
