London And Southeast Cold Spell Discussion

some very heavy echoes on the radar down your way mate

That's just the tears welling up, as I think of how deep this would be if it was snow.....

grrrr not far from Epping or N weald really but got very heavy rain here, just goes to show how localised snow can be....certainly glad others enjoying it tho, Those parts of Essex dont often get the good snow! (like here!)

[mitre10]

Hi all,

I am also in Epping and can confirm that it's still coming down albeit not quite as heavily as 15 mins ago.

Didn't expect this at all!!

[tomavenell]

rain, rain and more rain. this is the most frustrating cold snap ever

[Kiwi]

Started as rain here.

Now heavy wet snow!!!! Probably won't last but for those NE of here or on higher ground all is not lost!

[Bikerbiker]

Heavy snow in Ware, Hertford. Settling on roads now. Pavements and cars well covered now. Did not think it would settle as was heavy rain early this morning!

[High Altitude]

woke up at 6am and it was raining at a temp of 2.8C now at 8:45 temp has dropped to - 0.4C and its snowing heavily. Nice big fluffy flakes. Didn't expect this at all, however long it lasts. Not quite sure why temps have dropped off so much because precipitation hasn't been heavy. Any suggestions?

Stewfox ....I'm about 7 miles south of Reading and the rain suddenly turned to snow here about 20 mins ago. Temp has dropped from 2.8c to 1.4c at the same time. Also reports coming in of snow in other parts of North hampshire now.

[loretta]

Started as heavy rain here in Braintree now got at covering of snow suprisingly after all the rain, roads awful

[Weathizard]

Absolutely smashing it down with rain on the south coast.

Yes wet snow in Reading now. Didcot had heavy snow at 8am

But some of the road at 300ft in North Oxfordshire we getting hard to pass this morning

Big contrast

[Amanzi]

Been rain, rain and more rain here for the last few days. Had a giggle when I saw the rain and remembered some members on here would not have to do any hat eating! At least thats one positive to this mush.

[SLEETY]

Very heavy rain here,to go with yesterdays,at least a couple of feet of snow if it had fallen instead:wallbash:

Winters well and truly finished here,enjoy the snow further up folks:drinks:

[Shutterbug Netty]

After my earlier post of heavy rain, it turned to snow about half an hour ago (just as I was about to walk my son to school)!!

Still snowing now, although not settling as it's so wet!!

Best I jump in the car and head north.

I'll keep a lookout for the Reindeer!

My kids are still on half-term break (inset day) any ideas for a tobogganing hill?

... wet snow stopped now and we're back to drizzle/light rain

It must be frustrating for you lot on the south coast, with all this snow to the North of you.

At least you have the best car parking restrictions in Brighton I have ever seen

Pishing down with rain here and has been for 2 days now. Depressing. Roll on spring....

Why not

Drive 30 miles north get some elevation, North downs for you or Chilterns, there has been so much snow and max temps only 3c that wont melt much

ps Discalimer, if you find no snow not my fault

[Neilsouth]

Way too much rain , the fields and some roads are flooded !
