London & The South East Regional Discussion - Part 8

[jogoget]

Just been for a quick drive and its starting to snow here

Lol step away from the car!! too dangerous...u can admire from home...even tually!

[Great Plum]

I'd love it if we had our own micro climate! We are unfortunately only just off the top of Cockshot Hill, not anything higher, but occasionally it seems to help . Much settling in Reigate?

I walk up cockshot hill every day to work... everything that's falling is settling - not a lot is falling though! About 1-2cm at the mo

[Rich1970]

Tiny flakes started now just outside Ashford(Woodchurch)

[Jezzer]

Setting in now, this is more like it!!!

[Essexgooner]

Coming down alot better here now, proper stuff

[Laurence Hill]

Must admit, watching the radar for the last half hou (NW radar) the front certainly seems to have slowed down a lot

[abruzzi spur]

Yes, imagine finding yourself in Brighton on snow night

aaaaargh. I am dealing with it well. aaaaaaargh. really.

Thanks for the support

How is the snow falling in Billingshurst? Heavily or dandruff esque?

Dandruff esque.

[Paul Sherman]

You've changed your tune...

From the intensity rates in the West of the region picking up and the reports of them having 2-3cm already - That is going to be a good estimate imho

Did not say this part of the world would receive 10cms

[bazookabob]

Cheer up you lot down there if you're still waiting for the heavy stuff and worried its not coming... here's a preview video- I'm 8 miles from leeds at 86m above sea level, in the far more marginal (today) north of England and I've still got 15cm plus drifts outside. You lot will be rolling in it come morning!

Night all!

[Snow Saint]

Does it not look/feel like quite "wet" snow though?.....does to me...

[hippyhattie]

Just been for a quick drive and its starting to snow here

Whereabouts did you go?...I'm in Beltinge and it hasn't quite reached here yet....hopefully it's imminent!!

[tadpole]

5 mins down the road from Crystal Palace/Syd and I can confirm approaching 1cm of lying snow, currently snowing moderate intensity but small flakes.

I've just checked again and got 2cm, come up the hill a bit, we've got more snow

[sarah7meme]

It's begun - phew!

[Guest]

Say about 3 cms now at Watford - still moderate snow, though the temperature has risen to +0.4C and a humidity of 89%.

Has anybody got a formula for working out the dew point with that info?

[john pike]

snow has now turned heavy here

good covering

be with you soon snowbob

[Crystal Memories]

Come on snow i'm getting impatient here i have got a bet that the snow would be here by 10.30pm lol

[MeteoF]

Def starting to get heavier now..

probably very slightly on the wet side but still crunchy underfoot and laying on the main road, even though it was wet earlier and i didnt think it would lay on the road at all
