East Anglia & South East Cold Spell Discussion

[Sno' problem]

Absolute blanket of snow here in Central London, but too wet to settle.

It is beginning to settle on roofs etc, but the ground is still too damp right now, but looks like Central London is about to get about 20 mins of heavy snow, so should make things interesting!

[gornaldo]

Does anyone know how long the band of snow will last over London?

Probably another 45 mins max.

I so wish I was near a window right now

Although I reckon they might notice if I suddenly disapear from Reception at work!

Apparently the radar is showing snow over Cambridge, still nothing yet, should start to fall soon though

Ignore the light snow on the radar, it was over me here for about 1-2 hours before any snow actually started.. Falling nice and steadily now though.

Meteox radar at 4:30pm shows the PPN about 10 miles south of Cambridge

Meteox is a reliable radar so I believe it is true in saying PPN is near here

Mr Snowman please keep posting. I am out of my mind with worry and praying there will be no snow where I am. Will I get the same as you here in Cambourne. Could you tell me what time every thing will be over. Many thanks

I will say when snow is falling and how much. Still waiting at this moment in time

[Tom D]

Well I'm right under an area of really light precip in this band so there's only a few flakes and a bit of rain falling. 0.2c now, hopefully we'll get a heavier burst shortly.

Sky just shown Westminster live. Heavy snow. Could hardly see Big Ben.

Sky News now showing the snow in Parliament Square, plenty of heavy snow over central London, thank goodness I'm not driving out in this, rush hour's going to be interesting!

[danm]

its amazing that on thursday night we had about 6 hours of blizzards, but in the past 45mins more snow has settled than than whole of thursday night for this area. This is completely unexpected. I wasnt expecting anything thing more than sleety wet snow. There must be about 2-3cm's now. Everything is covered! And the roads havent been gritted.

Believe me, I have been tempted to disapear for 5 mins But am leaving in 15 mins, so hoping that hasn't put a jinx on it and it turns back to rain

Here we go SR:

Very funny Coastyplops!!

[i luv snow]

If it's snow in London, why is it rain here? We have 15cm of snow being washed away. Now I'm peed off! haha :lol:

I was just thinking that, amazing how much has settled in so short a time, this is just like Feb 1st

Lighter PPN here but is still snow!

But that is because the temp her is about 0c now and DP -1.1c.

Hopefully some more heavier stuff arrives soon.

It started off as sleet here half hour ago but now its turned to Snow and starting to settle.

It has been raining hard down here since 11.00 and it is raining harder now than at any other time today. I thought this would be dieing out by now. Some places are going to get loads of snow.
