Wow - what a first post - you know how to make yourself popular! I'll have you know that not all school run mums are like that!

Anyway - steady snowfall since about 6pm here in High Wycombe. We have about 5 inches - maybe more and still going. Luckily for Dan my daughter's school has already said her school is closed on the Bucks County Council website. Lucky for me too as I've already had a bottle of pink fizz

Think a lot of people on here are celebrating with a bottle of something or other - a lot of fuzzy heads in the morning?

Yep well done Kold. Made a brilliant call yesterday. Why dont you replace some of the script readers at the BBC?

Just was thing the same thing ...... Great call kw

[fatyido]

[Michael Fishermans Friend]

With the server under a lot of load tonight anything is being done it seems to lighten that load!

Every flake here in Westcliff is settling Although the flakes aren't all that big, but there's a lot of them.

Remember guys on the SE essex coast- we could be working in reverse to the other week- I sat & watched the band of snow come through Herts & Essex- then as the snow picked up the surface air from the thames through lift then the dewpoints & WBPT went up by 1c & we got rain-

THe same is happening tonight- but reverse for the onshore flow over Essex- I mentioned it earlier....

3 cm of snow here in Bex- still coming down nice- The only drive on my road thats clear is mine because I gritted it earlier-

S

Yep good call Steve

Total non event East of Basildon, have had yellows and greens over me for about 20mins and absolutely nothing falling, dewpoint all wrong and evaporation falling through the layers, gonna hit the sack and will be lucky to get 0.02cm rather than the 20cm touted by the Beeb

And to the guys saying it will intensify as it hits the thames corridoor we must be singing from a different hymm sheet and not quite seeing where you are getting this from

I have seen enough of that radar tonight Nite all - Waiting for the Showers on Saturday now

Quite pleased with my prediction of where it would stall and pivot though, seems the 23z radar shows this nicely and almost horizontal.

[kold weather]

wheres the blinking snow...

Wow are you still dry?

I've got about a 1cm here, I must be just on the eastern extreme of the heavier snowfall, don't expect this to last long. I just hope the second part of the wrap around can make it this far north later in the night.

Tomorrow looks interesting again...hopefully the front gives some goods!

Locations probably removed to prevent crashing the site, I'm off to bed, dreaming of plenty more of the white stuff when I wake up. Curtain twitching all night is also a possibility.

Night all, enjoy!!

[Tom Montalbano]

Steve M, KW, Paul, Nick and anybody else who would like to comment,

What do you make of the latest Fax for t120?

Wrong side of the 528 dam line, know its still a fair way off!

Regards,

Tom.

[yamkin]

Sutton sw London ..... Moderate snow for an hour dewpoint 0 air temp 0 winds 34 n ......... So far haven't seen the intensity in the snow fall like there was in feb 09 Thames streamer . Still things developing all the time and did alex deakin really forecast 40 cm for the London region on BBC weather or did I misunderstand that ?

After several hours of snow into Wednesday pm, you will have several inches

[Michael Fishermans Friend]

Milder air moves into the S/SE on Sunday oddly:

528 dam through the midlands?? - can't see where the milder air is coming from??? Seems wrong to me.

thank you nik but i thought half the fun was seeing who came from where . does not seem the same somehow anyone agree (sorry last comment off topic !! )

[rctonka]

Very light snow in Rayleigh, how long and how much, that is the burning question, i fear we wont get anywhere near as much as predicted earlier

[riki]

Still heavy snow in Hornchurch, Essex borders. About 1cm so far!

[mesocyclone]

5 inch's and counting........

Feb 09 gave 6". Can the channel beat the Thames streamer?

I think the Thames may have another go soon if these easterlies come off!

[maidstone weather]

528 dam through the midlands?? - can't see where the milder air is coming from??? Seems wrong to me.

The continent! We are above 528 in terms of dam. Can't see much snow potential from that, if anything rain!? Dunno very odd

[Ocean Transit]

Can't understand your comments Paul??? Intensifing rapidly in the Thames between Kent and Essex and reports of heavy snow in benfleet, Rayleigh etc

[Shunter]

Still snowing heavily in Gravesend - methinks I should have gone to Sainsburys on the way home from work tonight...

You wouldn't have liked it at Sainsurys, Pepper Hill, quite a bit of panic buying today by pensioners.
