AS - the streets of Reigate are currently lethal and will only get worse!

Crampons and mountaineering boots are primed and ready for deployment!

a few little flurries in the wind here too

am not expecting much fo the next few hours but we will see what develops downwind

am quite happy with what I have, will look back on this and feel this is the best winter I can remember really, no matter what happens for the rest of it

and I cant see february being dominated by a bartlett or anything, and there is no real sign of anything mild for the forseeable future with the models backing off a proper breakdown

patience, a rare commodity these days, could be the thing, but in hindsight many of us will remember this winter as a classic. No double figure temps since the first half of december and a January which may be below the 2 degrees CET value...its a real possbility

think back to 2007-8...now that was pants

Still very light down the road here in Purley. I do mean light though, just the odd few flakes. It's a shame this hasn't kicked off in the way we expected. It looked quite promising earlier with the heavy showers that passed over.

Tiny thaw but that's to be expected generally with compacting snow and the wind doesnt help. Fantastic icicles all around. It's been many, many, many years since i've seen them this size.

Nice 5 -6" of fluffy powdery snow that was here and lying (as also stated by Beeb and Sky forcasters) is now in transition, due to temps turned VERY wet and one small snowball is enough to remove 4" of snow down to grass level in one revolution!

Love Snow - Hate Slush! :)

In my opinion which is not fact, so not open to a bashing (:)), I can see the rest of tonight panning out as thus. Snow for Kent, over, slight thaw of lying snow making it slushy to all except those that have greater depths thus giving insulation to lower levels.

Snow pushing over from Netherlands reaching Wash and pushing Midlands and Pennines way.

Event over, no snow for Kt,Su,Sx, Lon & Ex. Gradual thaw, temps pushing to 2'c then 3'c next day, 4'c and staying 3 - 4'c most of week with very little frost.

I hope I'm wrong for us snow lovers here in the SE, but thats how I see it.

This extreme episode is over, but temps still under normal but not front page stuff anymore.

(You watch, I'll have 4" of new snow on the drive by 9am now! :))

There seems to be a developing streamer in the channel. Something of interest for southern areas tonight?

Just logged on for the first time today, all very disappointing after the big build up! However I'm currently in South Woodford and haven't been home to South East London so don't know what's been going on down there today?

Still hoping we may wake up to a surprise but having just seen the BBC Red Button forecast I was amazed to see what a difference a day makes, come on snow don't let us down!! :cc_confused:

I feel that is the way it is going. Above freezing maxima for the next few days seems likely, with a slow and painful thaw of lying snow. Clear skies overnight mean ice could be more of a major hazard this week than last week because the melting snow will turn to slush and freeze.

Edit: that line over the channel does seem to be heading back NWwards now - how odd!

I'm surprised with the light snow too. Nothing on the radar showing this light snow at the moment.

Is it coming from the Germans? Russia? Mars?

Nope it's coming from the Channel just on our doorstep(?)

Talk about stealth, what the heck?

Well I assume it's coming from there, looks like it's starting to fire. . . or else where the hell is it coming from, got to be thinking it's going to happen with all the agencies still going for this.
