If you are getting the PPN we have had since 11.00 this morning then you will get loads. It has rained hard for 3 and half hours and is still raining hard now.

Sadly some of my work takes place in Luton, I often have to drive around Luton!

But don't upset people from Luton, they may see your post!

Snowing there yet?

[stewfox]

Very light and pathetic sleety snow here! Driving me mad as I know no more than 5-10 miles down the road it's been tipping it down. Just won't come north! Needs to move a bit more north west for us to see anything significant I think.

I have never seen just heavy snow before xmas

Big wet stuff , at home sod all but here in reading amazing

Got to drive in it later

[Southender]

Sorry but that Ice this morning was totally dangerous!

True.

Tonight/Tomorrow morn won't be any better though, if the temps drop off tonight.

[Paul Sherman]

Precip band now starting to pivot to the North West if you look at the last few radar scans - run then by hourly intervals and you can see this quite clearly

Its so bad in reading there sending people home

Why does it say sleet on radar ? very odd

[lizzieloo202]

Really coming down for the last few hours now. After a few cm of slippy slush on the roads/pavements they are all now turning white. This is looking like it could be the best snowfall we've seen in this area so far!!!

You could do with putting your location on your profile, I read that and thought 'where?'

[stuboy]

Very heavy in Burnham again now, and starting to stick quite a bit! Wow, was not expecting this at all 30 mins ago. Great stuff.

Forward thinking up there. They could see this coming and shut it 30 years ago!!!!!!!!

Snowing heavy now, not so wet. But still too warm to settle. The temp has decreased from 1.8 half an hour ago to 1.4 now so looking good

[yamkin]

Snowing here and temp is 2c

[stormchaser.co.uk]

BIG Snowflakes in Borehamwood, Herts right now!

[Tom D]

Still nothing here, we're right on the northern edge of this precip band now. Temp is starting to fall away slightly which is good! 1.2c now.

Come on snow.. It's only got about 10-15 miles to come! I've been staring out the window for the last 2 hours now!

Temp is below 1c here acording to local weather station.....

Time to turn our Christmas lights on. Being the most easterly town in the UK, and it being the shortest day of the year we are now in darkness. I have just come back from a walk on the beach and incredibly I have noticed that the temperature is rising here. We have no chance of snow.

[wellington boot]

So it's rained here all day, lightly to moderately. Because we had so much in the first place, even roofs are still somehow covered, but the trees have lost it, and elsewhere it has visibly thinned. I predicted this event correctly for myself, but it seems elsewhere there is yet a chance that snow is going to fall properly.

I will stick, probably somewhat controversially, with my prediction that this isn't going to be a special event for all but a very few places, perhaps further inland, on a sw-ne line. I suspect a lot of this will fall increasingly as rain or sleet, and where it falls as snow, I see it melting quite quickly.

Actually there are a lot private flights that the so called stars use to miss the paparazzi. And there are a few chartered flights . The snow now is heavier than Feb 09 . My wife and daughter have gone to Bluewater and I have phones them to say come back now. Westerham Hill -Highest point in Kent will be closed if this carries on. Seems like an inch of snow in 30 mins

complete white-out

[chrisbell-nottheweatherman]

According to my mum it's thawing a bit out there now. Still no ppn, though it's getting pretty gloomy.
