3cmish here in sunbury - is the front stalling? It's very fine wet snow - we need the big fluffy flakes!!!

[Essexgooner]

Just under a cm on the car now, flakes getting slightly bigger

[PLANET THANET]

Just about started in Minster, but i must have seen the very first fine flakes fall!

temp -0.7

nearly here then, just got to make it past manston

[❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️]

Slightly heavier here now and a bit of wind too - nice!

Jurassic Park!

(I thought it was Linton travel tavern?)

[Lauren]

Gradually getting heavier. Friends have reported upto 5 inches elsewhere in te country as the system has passed over them. Hopefully we will see th same if not more.

Think we will be getting the heavier stuff in a couple of hours.

I am going to love you and leave you know and report back in the morning. I hope you all wake up to a wintwe wonderland of several inches!

[VillagePlank]

1 cm so far, 29cm to go ....

[Damp and dreary]

Awww i got no answer! is there no one here that can seriously tell me why the radar is damn annoying this evening! what is it that makes it like this? makes it impossible to see whats coming for me down in Eastbourne!

[tadpole]

Lots of snow in the last hour here, really getting quite exciting. reckon nearly 3 inches. theres a few hours to go yet!

That's not fair, I'm only down the road........save some for me please

[wintermaster]

Heathrow is not closed I can hear the planes taken off. But there is heavy snow here maybe not for long.

[lewis028]

Still moderate to heavy 20p size flakes falling, Just waiting for the 50p size flakes now, could be another hour ish away yet

[tara303]

Sky's gone down... That's me law and order marathon done in then.

[❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️]

So glad it's actually snowing here in the southeast! About 2-3cm out there so far.

You used to be in Bristol? I'm bet your glad you're not there today!

[Craig Smith]

Reckon we have about 3 cm here, can't believe there is 6cm in Shepperton or Twickenham as posted on here?

[kold weather]

Just been out with the trusty finger- just shy of an INCH

S

Close to that here, still not quite upto the grass level though which is my sort of measuring stick for a decent snow event.

[Beasterly]

8cm here now....precip much lighter though

Temperature 0.7 C

Dewpoint -0.2 C

Heathrow looking very quiet - just a few planes around, watching for go-arounds!

[spayne]

Just picked my wife up from restaurant.....roads not good, even Southgate high street is snow covered.....we have at least 5cm here..!!!!

[lottiekent]

Snowing in Folkestone at long last! SM5 on the snowscale here

[Blake7]

A few small flakes blowing in the wind at the moment ... Looking at the radar were almost there !

[West Sussex Kate]

proper snow now, the road is going!!

[Brightlight]

Still reading....even though we still have sleety rain! lol....cant even imagine what the snow must look like just a short drive north of me - just feels like a slightly cold Saturday night here - still cant see how the METO have the area down for heavy snow from midnight - anyone explain if and how things might change for us on this wee little bit of marginal coastline :-)

[Paul Sherman]

Slightly heavier here now and a bit of wind too - nice!

Yes this Southerly wind is getting quite strong here as well (Almost on Convective Levels)

Grass is still visible so no great depths here but Moderate Snow all the same.

The bigger depths will be later this week when the Streamers Set-Up

Edit; Interestingly my Temp just took a nosedive on me graph from 0c to -1.3c in about 15 minutes

Yep - 2, maaaybe 3 at most...

[Gringomez]

Light but steady snow grains...
