I just looked and it' has slowed down a bit. Have you seen my snowy woodham pics on the photo thread?

no, I'll look. I'll send my sister to the page - she's out of the country and missing this snow.

Had an hour of moderate to heavy snow here between midnight and 1am, it eased off for 10-15 minutes, now its picking up again. Ive just been out and measured 1.5cm of fresh snow

[saint]

Here in Aylesbury, 1.2C

Really? Quite warm there then! Should really start dropping soon........

[patrickshere]

Here in Aylesbury, 1.2C

Yeah was 1.6C here.. Snows melting on trees and stuff, warmest it's been in ages. Just want the cloud to clear and temps to go down now. The crazy warnings of snow amounted to less than 1cm.

[Ocean Transit]

Snow has stopped and can report 1.8CM.

Can't complain at all really.

Total laying: 15CM (well 14.8cm) lol

[john mac]

See, now this reminds me of the vast majority of snow potential post 1991, snow forecast for my region, only to wake up to rain and wet roads. I seriously cannot believe after an ice day here, that 'snow' fell as sleet and rain!! I thought this was a dead cert!

[Sno' problem]

Having seen the (very disappointing) band go through London, there does seem to be some convection on the Northern flank. The latest radar is actually showing another 'blob' of ppn to the NE of London, but is anyone up there to give temperature readings?

I have a bad location for taking temps, but it is reading approx 4ºc here right now, but it is suddenly feeling a bit fresher.

I know! But if we were that little further SouthEast we would have got a hammering! It looked good here at the beginning but amounted to nothing, snow passed us very quickly, ahwell. BBC have us down for Heavy Snow on Monday (probably Night). Lets see lol

-----Oh and RunBoy, that pics pretty good

OK, temp down half a degree in half an hour, dewpoint dropped from 0.2 to 0.1, rain is looking sleety, do I stay up? or hope for a nice surprise in the morning?

[yamkin]

p**sing down (gutted)

Moderate snow falling here.

[Coopsy]

Just started snowing, no rain observed. First time I've seen icicles hanging of my soffits for years! I suppose over in Canada it's a much more regular thing - my kids asked me what they were, would you believe it!

Not expecting great shakes, perhaps an inch or two. For sure Maidstone Road (B2097) will become impassable again ...

wow, they were a regular occurence in the 80's lol. It doesnt snow a lot where I am maybe once every 2 weeks on average but obviously its s dead cert when it does

I would think maybe a good inchor two for sure

[spayne]

Heavy again here, but looking at the radar....this may be the end for tonight.....but happy!!! Camera on charge for a walk in Grovelands Park tomorrow!!!!!

Yes, ME. Temp 0c and am waiting for the back edge before falling into bed.

Have to go to Stansted tomorrow so hoping it's not too bad up there.
