Still very light in Raynes Park

Temp 0.0

[Jezzer]

The Cheshire Streamer has reached Oxford

[CrimsonSunset]

Getting heavier in Clapham but still tiny flakes, I suppose because it's so cold? A nice dusting on the cars so far, hopefully it keeps up for while!

EDIT: Flakes getting bigger now!

The Cheshire Streamer has reached Oxford

What are the implications of this Jezzer?

Just woken up so not sure of directions and prognosis etc

It's more the dry air than cold air that causes smaller flakes

Morning all, light dusting here on the ground and its still snowing......only little flakes though. Time to go to work.

I find head and shoulders does the trick. Oops sorry don't want to get rid of them. Haha :-)

[Laurence Hill]

For those living in London, LBC are giving useful updates on the snow as they are chatting.

[SMU]

Up another notch here- dustings starting to appear on the cars & not in to the heavier stuff yet!

Hi JP, The GFS 0Z ppn looks very tasty for the rest of today into Tuesday. UKMO 0Z is really leading the way and is breath taking

[Planet Stow]

Dusting on car and roofs only so far. Melting on the roads in north east London..

[Optimus Prime]

Well the mega armageddon snowstorm (with traits 1987) is blasting away out there. I'm guessing maybe 1cm on the cars but on and off at ground level. Will we survive? Only time will tell.

It's feeding further snow down the country, this is passing to the west of London but as I mentioned earlier this evening it just goes to show that these events can crop up out of nowhere and won't necessarily be forecast on the models.

Cue poor drawing...

Just popped over from the Midlands thread to say good luck guys, i hope you get plenty of snow. My 2cm of snow will be gone in the next few hours thanks to the rain forcast. Already started to my West. Would rather have had none than this situation.

It's hard to tell if its going to settle on the ground here but the cars have a nice dusting. Snow getting heavier! Even if it's just a 1cm layer on surfaces in the morning I'll be delighted!

[Mike Storm]

Blink and your missit type snow but yes light dust on my carI

[SF-02]

Currently about 0.5mm in Se London

I am feeling the same way albeit from a cold and snowy Canada. It sounds weird but I love all this radar/lamppost watching. It's not the same here when it's guaranteed. I would love to be sitting in the front room of my old house up near Blue Bell Hill looking for the snow against the orange glow of the street lights.

[Jezzer]

No probs Sharpedge, right I'm off home shortly.

Have a great Monday everyone. I've no doubt I'll be back on this afternoon to track the next batch, fingers crossed!!
