[Snowangel-MK]

Nothing here so far.

So your powder is still dry then is it Mr C

[WheresTheSnow]

Is it still snowing in our region? It shows rain by 4pm in Watford on BBC Weather, Im now heading towards Hampshire, heavy rain !

[Steve C]

Changing as I watch. Now have flurries. How is MK?

[Snowy Easterlies]

yesssssssssssssssssss starting settle big fat flakes coming down

[TEITS]

Looking at the radar it appears anyone from around Huntingdon N is in the sweet zone.

Just add the wrap around isn't expected until later this evenng although the radar isn't exactly the same as the models. Probably best just to watch this unfold.

Really coming down now.

[Shere Khan]

Very Heavy snow starting to settle on my road.

Was not expecting this today. Must be bringing the surface temps right down.

[starstream]

very fine snow falling here...

[icy toes]

It's really chucking down - settling nicely on the snow we got last night on grass), but not quite setting yet on the paths and roads as they are pretty wet

Please include me in that TEITS, in only in St Neots a few miles further south. Do you think I will benefit from this wrap round later ?

[patrickshere]

Here is a radar grab from 12:45 and another chart showing temperatures at 12:30.

Nothing here so far.

Edit. Light snizzle now.

Got to laugh how I'm pretty much in the only light area down the entire length of the country.

[saint]

Would appear to be settling again... What's going on! Haha

[Boro_andy]

Looking lovely out the window here at work near Eye! Started off light but not starting to really get going!!

[Guest archiesmummy]

Great news, and in Epping ;-)

Looks like we should do quite well teoday and tonight.

That warm sector should stay to the south and west of us in Essex :-)

I certainly hope so hun, think we will do well tonight! Still heavy here, all heading in right direction!

[Boro_andy]

Starting to settle now too!

[KDME]

Chelmsford - It is coming down moderately here but it is not settling on anything

Sounds good to me ! It's getting heavier in huntingdon now

[MarcB]

I'm on the south east side of the city at the mo' and yes it is pouring down, flakes getting bigger all the time.

Perfect.

[WheresTheSnow]

Very Heavy snow starting to settle on my road.

Was not expecting this today. Must be bringing the surface temps right down.

This is what I like to hear. Hopefully have a few CMs by the time I return later in the afternoon

[Iceni]

Light snow flurries here in Haverhill Suffolk.

East Anglians look well placed for a good fall today.

As Dave (TEITS) said in an earlier post, the wrap around tonight will be an added bonus for those snow-lovers out there .

NH

I'm just up the road from you on the A143 northwards. Good innit?

[Teflon]

afternoon snow fans

just started for the first time since circa 9am here in West Wratting, SE Cambridge

heavy now, sticking on what was left from the overnight light fall

[ITSY]

snizzle has turned to consistent light snow. Getting heavier with every few minutes that pass. Radars suggesting that the front is strengthening from both the north and south (in terms of PPN intensity) so should be fun later on. Have my fingers crossed for the magic 10cms, but we'll see what happens. Really feels good seeing the snow after the weeks of Strat warming and predictions of mid-month changes.

[Jonathan Leaper]

radar showing sleet for leigh, is that all we have too look forward to til the wrap around :/ or will it turn to snow soon, slightly sleety outside

[Shere Khan]

This is what I like to hear. Hopefully have a few CMs by the time I return later in the afternoon

Yeah hopefuly. Will it hold out in the warm sector through it the question

[Snowangel-MK]

Since I went a walk and took these the snow has come down heavier and even the treated roads are now white, lovely flakes the sort that stick to your nose and eyelashes *sings these are a few of my favourite things*

Goodness knows why the radar is showing green over MK, it is and always has been nothing but snow here

Yes, I flicked through the radar sequence and I got the impression of intensification too.
