London & The South East Regional Discussion - Part 13

[Vesuvius]

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...

Not sure about 'whole region' - don't think the Eastern areas got more than a few flakes but yes, many areas did / are doing well for a 'non SE event'.

Moderate snow here to the west of Woking, Surrey. Cars and grass covered, roads becoming slushy.

[msx999]

how long we got left in West London, going by the radar I'd esitamte another 2-3 hours?

[scrat]

still moderate snow in west croydon laid on roads and pavements the backstreets round croydon will be interesting when this ices over

you really don't want to be on the back streets of Croydon though, whatever the weather

Seriously slowing down here, however, have a decent covering on top what we had which is great. Just pepped up again as I type. Wondering if the teachers might fancy starting half term a day early?

[Louby]

Snowing nicely here and has been for about an hour and half, about a cm so far, road covered too, didn't think we were gonna get too much.

[NO LONGER POSTING]

I would think that too...Enough for a ood 3-4cm if it can keep this up!

[Reefseeker]

Cars all nicely covered here in Surbiton, but roads and pavements not interested - boo!

well the met office and the high res models didn't get it right but check precip type chart on the awful 6z gfs it has called it correctly. miracles do happen

[MeteoF]

Still moderate in Twickenham - nice dusting on grass, a little on some pavements too but it's a bit of a struggle..

[EML Network]

Just went outside to check, and it's defanately snow still here, just that wet bulb is stopping what is falling settling on the paths and roads (good news for local motorists)

[Nigerian Prince]

Heavy snow at Battersa, London, Temp 0.5c and falling, snow settling everywhere now.

[spayne]

everything covered here......road, pavement, cars trees.....amazing!!!!

[winter watcher]

Going by the meto radar the precip seems to be gaining intensity when it reaches London good news..

[MidlandsSean]

First post in the London thread before, as i'm from Birmingham.

However, I'm staying in Heathrow as working here, snow has just picked up intensity and is now heavy with decent size flakes!

[BarnetBlizzard]

Around 3 cm here now, been unbelievably lucky.

[weathergeek]

Much heavier here now, looks more like proper snow than Saturdays! Only thing is its not gonna snow for as long so don't expect to wake up to total white tom morn - still not settling on road?!

Off to bed now so we'll see come morn!

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

Maybe te delay is due to de-icing?

[winter watcher]

Oh my got massive 50p flakes falling and fast yippppeeee

[kold weather]

Nice heavy burst moving through SW.London right now down to about Guildford, could be 2-3cms in an hour in that area so travel will be a problem and in the heavier bursts it'll probably start to settle on the roads as well.

[Mike Storm]

not good... my humidity is now 95%... temp 0.1 dp -1c wet snow......

[Essexgooner]

Not alot happening here...............moons out

[danm]

Dew points must be falling because the snow is trying to settle more on the pavement now. Road still wet though.

[PrettyYellow]

seems to have lightened in E london

EDIT: I should look out the window more often, got heavier I mean xD

[HighPressure]

I can report light snow for last 2hrs here, with probably @1cm added to the already lying snow cover.
