It's very cloudy here and I agree to a possibility of the ppn stalling over Kent. Could stall over the rest of the SE too

Yamkin,

Its really snowing here, very heavy. BUT ITS WET.....

IM 250asl

[londonsnow]

the bigger the flakes the more marginal the conditions. not sure what london will get from this, maybe hampstead will get a dusting

[ZONE 51]

theres another band for later(warm front bringing a warm sector) so dew points would rise soon later

so more rain/sleet maybe snow still in kent tho.

edit...sleet here moderate

Well the ppn is just about to hit Central London...Anyone in NW London that can confirm what it is falling as?

[Mikel Nimbus]

Up in Barnet it's coming down HEAVY as snow. Showing signs of settling on grass.

Cool, there have been flakes in the air all day here, so hopefully it will snow for a short time to brighten things up here.

EDIT: Just started snowing here, but it is very, very wet snow and so unlikely to settle.

RE EDIT: More rain than snow now...

Here in zone 2 it's falling as fine moderate wet snow

[jaynemc]

Moderate snow now falling in Walton-on-the-Hill Nr Reigate, surrey.

Huge flakes blowing in the wind, signs it may well settle, but looking at raintoday radar, its only going to be a shortlived shower :-(

Blizzard conditions now.........total whiteout !

this line of ppn has got wider to ! looks like kent could get snow from this as it might slow down and they have lower dew points staying

are we talking just north kent here?

[ZONE 51]

got to go now be reading posts tho!

[Sno' problem]

It's doing it's normal routine of skirting around me at the moment. The ppn hasn't got heavy enough to fall as snow, so the ground is completely damp now, so unless the ppn decides to expand and increase then it is just an extra bit of dampness to make the evening commute that much more uncomfortable.

What a shame.

[Guest archiesmummy]

starting to sleet/snow here, very lightly.

fingers crossed!

[tcc]

I thought it was supposed to be dry today?! It's now snowing with biggish flakes! What a lovely surprise!

[Sno' problem]

Well somehow the ppn has skirted round me!!!! It was never heavy enough to fall as proper snow and has now seemingly passed me by. The ground is only just a little bit damp, so don't get your hopes up people. Unless it decides to do it's normal trick of building again once it passes the capital.

If you have NW radar and can be bothered, try putting in W11 into the NW postcode search and see how the ppn just disappears at it hits two tiny hills (Campden Hill (W8) @ 42m asl and Notting Hill (W11) @ 32m asl) it causes a tiny microclimate here and even though they are such small hills, they really make a huge difference.

[BarnetBlizzard]

Wow, seriously heavy snow here for a good half an hour-40mins. Rather wet though but there is a thin layer of slush on the grass. The tem went from 4.4 to 1.9 during the snow!

[yamkin]

Started snowing here

[Discombobulation Man]

Just light rain now

[crazysnowcatz4]

Looking at the radar there seem to be 3 bands of ppt ,one is going east ish, centre over london, looks to be doing about 20 mph. Not very long of wide but seems intense. Could affect anywhere in London , South Essex ,Kent but only briefly.

There are two more banks behind that , approaching at aout 80 and 160 miles respectively.

Lets wait and see.
