London & The South East Regional Discussion - Part 13

[winter watcher]

The pavements have turned to snow and the roads went from wet to slush puppie and now starting to settle

[Anthonyb]

Heavier stuff in London is now pulling west! The clearing over EA is heading for us. Whilst the precip towards the wash heads for Bristol

[Charltonkerry]

Still snowing in Dartford, not settling on roads.

[Jo S]

just re-subribed to netw radar - and Chelmsford is literally about 10 miles too far east - hence why Ongar etc getting snow

but we had our fair share last weekend so can't complain

I dont know but its still coming down quite nicely here trees all covered,cars,pavements,etc

[Vesuvius]

Nothing for a while now. Still got loads left from last weekend mind so must not grumble, well not that much anyway

[> mark]

Pretty much stopped now ....... a let down thus far!

[Lampostwatcher]

4.3cm in garden with moderate 30 p flakes falling

[Brightlight]

Actually i'd rate this on the same scale as the weekend so far, but could become better than it if it continues and sticks on grass and pavements, stuck on some things though.

Dont like to say it but here near Fiveways Brighton its looking a bit sleety now. Not sticking to the roads or pavements, very wet, tops of cars have a dusting - it actually feels like its a bit "warmer" than earlier - just been out to let the snow fall on me!!

[Marie]

Yup this is much better than the weekend...what a nice suprize :-) I'm happy for you, proper snow AT LONG LAST :-) just hope it doesn't go pear shaped like it did at the weekend ...fingers and toes crossed

Well temp is dropping currently 1.2 and dewpoint is 1.1 .Its laying on the cars and surfaces,cheers to you, im happy

[weathergeek]

Question....its not settling on roads yet but would the fact its making roads wet and its gonna be below freezing tonight mean that it cud be severely icey?! Just thinkin about the school run tom morn?!

A dusting here now in Croydon and still coming down, however, not settling on pavements and roads.

Looks like the heavier stuff now beginning to develop more to the west, but not bad considering the snow was supposed to stay mainly to the west of London on yesterday evening's and even this morning's forecasts.

[IanM]

where in horsham are you? i'm in broadbridge heath, its light here at the mo

Not far from you, Shelley's is the local school. I'm out in the sticks a bit, and the kids are desperately hoping I'm wrong about it all blowing through...

[tcc]

Still snowing here, about a cm on cars and dustbin lids! Still only small flakes but lovely to see! Never know this might be the last snow of the winter!!

[danm]

West London looks like it's doing well at the moment. Snow has eased off here but still snowing lightly.

Same, wet but stuck on cars, temperature dropping as well as dew point so hopefully should turn less sleety soon!

Surrey CC are doing regular gritting runs on the main routes, and the current light snow will create brine, so it should be ok in most areas tomorrow

[Anthonyb]

All moving west now!

London Heathrow - Light snow

London City - Snow

Biggin Hill - Snow

Heavier in the east at the moment...wind coming from 110* so the weather should be going about 250* magnetic.

[snow eagle 1]

im in brentwood, its still snowing here, has been since about 1830hrs, about an inch has fallen, happy days

[NO LONGER POSTING]

really coming down here..Good covering so far..

[bobbydog]

lol, it seems to be taking the predicted SW track now so it probably won't keep the kids off school. i'm out in the sticks a bit as well, near rapkyns.

Yeah but looking at the radar, the heavier snow at the moment is west of central London and towards Herts. Lighter in the east. Which makes sense as the whole system is slipping SW.
