London & The South East Regional Discussion - Part 13

[Mike Storm]

not bad suppose around here, just be for a drive.... all roads ok but my grass is now covered... wet snow but ok... slowly fizzling out..... temp 0.2c dp -1

[Lampostwatcher]

West of London city is getting hit

[Brightlight]

I do believe that might be the dusting over with - it seems to be blowing west, its original pathway and the lamp-post is not shining its light on much at all now

[Hammer]

About 1-2 cm here in East Herts/West Essex border. Still snowing.

[winter watcher]

About 2-3 cms here in sw london at the moment and still coming back to heavy status...

[Gowon]

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.

It's turned very light now in Shirley ...I think 1cm max now for us...lol. The band appears to be shifting SW now.

[Rinse The Raindrops]

Looking good down by The Beatles old haunt!

Nothing to shout about

[john pike]

still moderate snow in west croydon

laid on roads and pavements

the backstreets round croydon will

be interesting when this ices over

[Bluebreezer54]

Here in N W London its gone from light-moderate to moderate heavy in the last few minutes.

[Robbie Garrett]

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.

Theres a lot still to the east, the radar is not working properly I dont think.

You better tell Yamkin.........

[EML Network]

yeah not settling on the roads or pavements, but it is on the grass and cars, dew point currently at -0.7 and temperature at 0.9 and dropping , but the wet bulb is at +0.3 which is why it's not settling here on the roads and pavements I think, dew point is indeed going down though, so who knows , a knife edge yet again, but I can see the wetness of the snow glistening in the snow flakes in the light of the lamp post, so it's not looking good really, same thing happened last weekend :-( BLOODY ENGLISH CHANNEL GGRRRRR

[john mac]

Heavy still here

Some parts of Croydon has light snow cover on roads and pavements and also settled on cars grass and roof tops. Shirley is a prime example.

[kold weather]

Yeah the band is moving SW/SSW right now, howeve I think its safe to say pretty much the whole region has done quite alot better than forecasted. Very pleased with the result of tonight...

[Sussex Jules]

You guys in Brighton glad you got some at least seems to be our turn over in Eastbourne not to get any

[Nick F]

Wonder how Heathrow will cope now there's a risk of of a few cm of snow accumulating!

[Ruby000]

Heavy snow here, covering cars, pavements and the road despite the gritter whizzing through an hour ago. Estimate 2cms thus far.

[weathergeek]

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

Thanku so much for letting me know this!

[dubmuffin]

Still moderate snowfall here with larger flakes, now making an effort to settle on the patio, especially on the fringes of Saturday's leftovers, but the pavements are putting up a fight

[NO LONGER POSTING]

Wonder how Heathrow will cope now there's a risk of of a few cm of snow accumulating!

Well te planes go every 7 minutes and that's when I hear them...But they are every 20mins I would say now..

[Kawaii]

Still snowing heavy. Shame most of its not settling but I can't grumble because last weekend was great here. Current snow has topped up about 2cm on top of lying snow which I'm happy about

[Nick F]

It's turned very light now in Shirley ...I think 1cm max now for us...lol. The band appears to be shifting SW now.

Actually getting heavier here now in South Norwood, almost 5p size and looks like it could be trying to settle on the road now.

[danm]

Got a heavier burst here again. Even though the snow will slowly ease off, there could be a few hours more of light/moderate snow in east London & Essex. Quite a bit of heavy snow in west London for a while.
