[Mrsf16]

Right at this moment I really really hate where I live!! Good luck Northants guys n gals!

[mackerel sky]

Just started lightly, 100% snow, 100% settling. I thank you.

[Candice]

It does seem to be a touch warmer where you are.

It is currently around 1c here with a dew point of -5.4c

Yup it's risen 2degrees in the last 2 hours and a dew point of 1 - no chance of snow at all. There appears to be some warmer air coming in with the showers

[Mrsf16]

Just found a weather station online for peterborough which states Temp 2.2 DP-0.1 Not sure of reliability tho

Will add link incase anyone wants it : http://www.peterboroughuk.weather-watch.com/

Been checking this Cambridge one out for a couple of years now

Just looked out of the window and it's chucking down with snow. Where did that come from? I didn't think we'd be getting much more for the next few days. Looks like there's more to come from the radar, although they may be a few miles to the north. Edit - proper big snowflakes and everything's covered. That's two nights on the trot, although the few cms we had this morning had thawed by lunch today

[ickledoozer]

The blob should be hitting MK soon, large flakes please, none of this graupel nonsense!!

Temps up to 1.4c now!

Operation Lampost watch report from East MK, just started to snow here

Excellent

Lampost update, it is snowing in SW MK!!!

[pinball wizard]

haha, yes I noticed that !

She is one of those annoying weather forcasters that considers 'bad weather' to be anything that the rest of us find interesting/exciting

I'm not going to get my hopes up about Tuesday until I have seen Countryfile on Sunday, if they mention the 'S' word for our region then I will go

Just noticed 'chance of snow tonight' comment, really for here, I didn't think so O good ~ better keep an eye on the lampost then !

Is she actually a forecaster or just a presenter? She's more often than not wrong anyway, tuesday evening she said just light flurries for our region yet wednesday afternoon saw nearly 2 inches settle in Ipswich.

What ever she is, the information she 'presents' is from the Met Office not just her personally so I suppose we shouldn't 'shoot the messenger' however she is just annoying for oh so many reasons

[icy toes]

She must be a presenter because she's useless. She looks ridiculous as well. There must be an 80s vibe going round their office at the moment because Susie Fowler-Watt has gone all silk-shorts and shoulder pads as well. I wish proper meteorologists would present weather programmes - at least they get excited by weather extremes.

[Mrsf16]

Looking at http://www.sat24.com/ theres a line of cloud currently over us which seems like streamer..... I may be completely and utterly wrong... Anyone more knowledgable verify/explain. Thanking you

[Snowangel-MK]

Excellent

Lampost update, it is snowing in SW MK!!!

Any idea how long this could last ?

It's quite fine here but lot's of it, given a dusting cover already.

If it continues like this into the night we could get quite a bit ! It's going to be a late night me thinks, lucky I haven't got an early start in the morn.

That's why I like the Countryfile forcasts, they give a better explanation of the weather and don't say silly things like you will need a brolly tomorrow because it's going to rain !

Shoulder pads are all the rage again ! I've been there and done that once in the 'Dallas' & 'Dynasty' era, & I do not intend to go there again !

No idea, it depends on how fast it is travelling, I don't think we will see more than a dusting!

The few flakes I saw earlier must have been a cruel joke because it is NOT snowing here at the moment, I just stuck my face out of the front door and felt nothing!!

it looks like I am in a gap

Oh, no that's not so good.

Flakes have got bigger here and swirling round the lampost at the mo. I will give it a bit longer and then I might just go to bed after all then !

[ickledoozer]

Light dusting here so far!!!

[mackerel sky]

With the temperature at 0.9C it has been a bit selective where it has settled. Some bits of the roads are completely white, whilst other bits are just damp and slushy. The grass is covered though.

I noticed that it was a bit slushy, especially the bits that landed on my nose!

That's better then, meantime your 'gap' must be over me, it's either stopped now or it's so fine I can see anything, and no way am I going out to check heating off now and I'm cold as it is.

Think I will call it a night, anything more than 5mm will be a plesant surprise tomorrow morning.

Nite all

Its even snowing in Rushden ...

So far, thats Mk, rushden, leighton buzzard and no doubt Luton .

Think I'll move back to Lancashire at least Bolton is situated perfect.
