UPDATE FROM THE YAMKIN CAMP

Memo to the Croydon Council:

MetO suggest we could get more snowfall of 1-2cm during early hours on Monday 0300-0900hrs

I think this calls for another YAMKIN RAMP :o :lol:

Well a fantastic event after the all the mild muck we have endured so far this winter! I have around 15 cms and some of the drifts are very impressive indeed, a true winter wonderland!

Thunder snow as well last night around 23:30 with a couple of nice flashes of lightning, the power even flickered and my PC went off. No real sign of thawing which is great.

Whats peoples thoughts on tonights little feature, will we see anymore snow?

I'm in Ashford (North), snow hasn't stopped here. 13cm from last night.

About the same in Willesborough too..seems to have stopped for the moment. Just spent the last couple of hours clearing the drive and the top of my road!

Thats what i was asking just want more now lol

Had some fun in the 4x4 last night.

Between 6" & 8" snow generally here in Springfield (North Chelmsford) temperatures hovering around freezing. Good fun walking up to the local shops snow up to top of walking boots made walking rather difficult.

What are the chances for more snow tonight?

[chaffordred]

Just drove from Liverpool to Essex. The roads were very quiet. Started off on the M62 and sheet ice and fog, but no snow. Through Staffordshire the snow depths started to pick up. The M1 had a jackknifed lorry which was being crane hoisted from a ditch/field next to the hard shoulder. Rows of abandoned cars on the hard shoulder of the M25 and quite a few snowmen in the fast lane! The M25 anti-clockwise was closed due to an incident around the A10/M25 area. Quite a journey!

[Lampostwatcher]

13cm fell last night with up to 15cm where drifting accured by our front door

Fantastic photos. Thanks for sharing (from a mild, damp west Wales)!

Went out for a long walk this morning, starting at about 6:45. The reason for this being to walk a pensioner's dog in Great Bentley (the next village to mine) - the pensioner fell and hurt himself a few weeks ago.

It was great, walking by myself, through quite deep powder snow and even though I started well before sunrise, the reflection of light from the snow made visibility fine, even in woods. I was the first person to set tracks on pretty well the whole walk. The only other tracks were those made by wildlife.

The only slight downer was that the drifting snow meant that the uneven paths I was walking on were a bit tricky to gauge, but otherwise it was fantastic. It was great that the snow was not the type for snowballs either, wonderfully dry!

Walking back, I did manage to fall over onto some hard ground and bang my knee and my earlier first tracks were covered by many others for part of the way, with 'yellow snow' in evidence. Otherwise, especially due to no thaw, it was great again.

Although I have no weather station, I don't think the temperature has yet got above zero here and this snow event has already been a lot better than I was expecting. Off to the pub soon! Thanks once again to all the model watchers and interpreters here.

Now that is proper snow, looks amazing! Great pics

[Jezzer]

Just about to venture down to the Surrey Hills, shame it's thawing but will be some lovely views. Might pack the sledge just incase 38 years old and never growing up!

[Guest]

I'll amend my depth to something approaching 15cms - just spent a couple of hours clearing my driveway - the interesting point is that although it is thawing here the surface underneath the snow was still dry indicating snow falling on frozen ground which remained below freezing insulated by the snow.

[Callie]

Well had a decent amount of snow here, went out for a midnight walk last night and it was quite pretty

[Vesuvius]

About 15cm in Rayleigh. Lovely

[Weathizard]

About half a cm here, now just a slushy mess you lucky buggers!

Same here, but luckily have a 12 year-old as an excuse! Just off to Hinchley Wood, Telegraph Hill on the off-chance there's enough snow remaining for some sledging; will report back later:)

You really do like a ramp! I don't think there is any snow forecast for the rest of this week?
