East Anglia & South East Cold Spell Discussion

[WhiteFox]

same here - been continuous now for 5 hours with about 3" on top of what was still lying. Still streaming down. Finally managed to rescue my car from the bottom of my road as the ice is now covered with snow. Looking amazing out there though!

Our car got stuck at the bottom of our road on Saturday morning...

Just speaking to my missus; it's taken her nearly three hours to get from green park to the Lock and Store by the Rose Kiln Lane junction. About 1 mile!

M25 wow

[Gowon]

Oh well, it's raining heavy now.

[Timmead]

Snow is now easing here after a good 4 cm top-up

[spayne]

Still heavy snow in Potters Bar!!!! Panto due to start at 17.30......but 200+ people aren't here yet!!!!!!!!

[Coast]

Just had an almighty lightning flash here. The thunder was straight after. Rain and sleet ATM

[hot air balloon/weather :)]

luck buggers... it rained before hand here in oxford and it was blizzards 1 hr ago so didnt settle:(

Will snow settle on ground if wet if the snow comes down heavy??

Mark, Oxford

[Kay]

will we in south east kent (Ashford) see any of this snow as it pivots back towards us? Temps have risen all day now at a balmy 4oC ! Will the colder air from the north of London get dragged down with it to give us any snow?

[dapick2002]

don't worry TEITS the band is going to have a sudden rush of blood about 6.30 and push over us giving us a lovely top up after what has been the coldest day for a very long time for me.

[SnowBorder]

Raining here as well. Bit of a disapointment after such a heavy snow shower. It's all melting away.

[Downpour]

Yup moderate rain in Hammersmith now. Oh well. Nice while it lasted! <_<

[Tom D]

Amazing! This is 50000 times better than I was expecting, we've got 2/3cm in about 45 mins, still coming down heavy too! I hope it pivots back and moves back over us later tonight, giving a little bit more! <_<

[Andy H]

White out here still chucking it down, looking at the radar it seems to be moving out a bit more east if this happens we could have another couple of hours here unless it turns to rain

[rich1]

drizzle here atm, kind of expected what we had today but didnt expect areas, some less than 10 miles either side to get snow which is what has slightly annoyed me no offence to those enjoying it btw

hope the weather warnings are right and the rest of us in the home counties who got nothing but a thaw today can maybe get something from this

[Ben_Cambs]

Some radars on the internet arent very good. They have PPN over Cambridge yet nothing is falling <_<

Cars getting stuck on our road, just went out to help push 1 up the hill........

Anyone know why it's turnign to rain further south? And will that happen up here?

[suffolkboy_]

Sleet here, although it's 90% snow 10% rain. Temperature went up to 1.6C at 4.30, but it's dropped since to 0.8C.

Maybe the wash will be the northern limit Could easily be wrong though

[Andy H]

still coming

[i luv snow]

We have had rain sleet AND heavy snow in the last 15 minutes, other than the roads the snow hasn't melted either! Fingers crossed it stays more readily as snow though!!

[Hurricane Debby]

What a b***** nightmare. I've had to abandon my car near work and walk home. Its absolutely chaos out there. The snow has stopped now and PLEASE tell me no more is forecast for this evening ??? And what temps are they forecasting for tonight ?

I love the snow but the novelty factor is rapidly running out !

[Tn9]

Next frame has put my mind at ease as its still moving slowly N. Conditions here are fantastic as its remained at -1C all day.

You want to hope it only just gets to you,stays about there then retreats,cause if it scoots to far,relatively mild air is hot on its tail,knowing your luck TEITS,thats what will happen
