tweet from Tesco:

There are going to be some icey roads this week. Book a FREE sight test at Tesco Opticians and be safe!

Anything to make money eh?

[jayney69]

tiny grains here now

[loopydreamer]

does anyone known when conditions should become less marginal?

if this precip had landed on us after 14:00 i think we could have been okay. It's just arrived a little too early.

less marginal? late afternoon 16:00.

Only one thing for it in this weather!

[Marie]

It's been a horrible day here on the south coast cold wet and dull .Glad lots of you have had snow even though I'm slightly jealous lol.Temp here is now 5.1 and dewpoint 4.1

[Paul Sherman]

Just Kent ?? Wow localised or what

[swash]

Missing a trick there, the Special Edition one with a hint of chilli is much better!

[Thinon]

blizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzarddddd

Slizzard

[stainesbloke]

Snizzle here

Back to heavy wet snow in my part of the Staines Riviera

[Mikel Nimbus]

I can't believe how big these snow flakes are! Golf ball size and sticking to everything. Never seen anything like it and shows how marginal things are at the moment. Temp 0.8 DP 0.1.

Had half an hour of sleety stuff before turning back to these humungous flakes.

[CrimsonSunset]

Last nights dusting disappeared and just drizzle now Disappointed

[ambient]

Now steady rain at Canary Wharf.

[Downpour]

Its not that marginal, just not really settling that well but can't complain really

Still sleety here at the office in W10. Quite keen to hear more from Barnet, Harrow etc as the conditions there are likely to be more like those back home in Ealing. I would ring my son, but as he is at nursery over there I'm not sure he would be a reliable source

[loopydreamer]

jeez! how reliable is the nae model? met office have said nothing about that much snow for us.

[easton888]

Crouch End (North London) still steady big flakes but not settling. Ground too wet?

[Downpour]

Snow will turn readily to rain south of the thames. snow tonight for anybody south of the thames and just east of london out to the coast. possible accumalations of 2 or 3 cms. light snow showers filtering in of the coast on tuesday, possible heavier shower, wednesday chance of little more organised snow but only slight accumalations.

I am based in north west kent and i forsee our best chance of snow and snow cover from the tail later this eve
