Suprised not more reports from upwind- bexley/ bromley etc-

S

EDIT : heavier snow now- larger flakes..

Virtually stopped here in Farnborough/Biggin Hill Steve, waiting for the reload.

[VillagePlank]

Alas nothing here in Rochester, and the light falls this morning is just about gone ...

[jayney69]

Nothing here in Rainham yet (east Medway Towns), overcast.....still waiting

[crazy_diamond]

light washing powder snow just started here in benfleet

Love the description, it fits the scene I'm watching at the moment in Thurrock!

Steve any hope for the few of us in Ashford and Folkestone?

[abruzzi spur]

Pretty much stopped in Reigate now, odd bit of sleetiness around, lots of dripping. Temperature has now hit +2.0c

I suspect that's it for snow here for a while but good luck elsewhere

AS

[Mikel Nimbus]

3cms in places here. Snow has definitely turned more sleety in the last 15 minutes and dew point sitting at 0.0C.

Can't see any way back now, the mild sector looks too big. All eyes to Friday/Saturday which is looking interesting.

[BarnetBlizzard]

slowed down with very small flakes hmmm

[craigore]

Cheers People-

Looking at the dewpoints coast has posted we want everything to be sliding now- the further NE you are the better-

CMON SNOW HURRY UP!!!!!!

S

Would East Kent fall into that catagory?

[MarkQPR]

Overnight snow all gone, but we've just started again with a wintry mix of big flakes, and sleety rain. All going on!

[Kentspur]

Bexleyheath - bigger flakes, now settling on roofs / cars.

Same here in Dartford but doesn't seem to be able to settle quick enough

Bromley is fairly moderate at the mo according to my wife. Im in the City and its been moderate, heavy, light, moderate... and now light. Steve - I take it Bexley is being hammered now, is that correct?

[Met4Cast]

Alas nothing here in Rochester, and the light falls this morning is just about gone ...

Check again

[Jellis]

Rain, Rain and more rain In Bracknell, yawwwwn

[Coast]

All eyes to Friday/Saturday which is looking interesting.

GFS not looking wonderful for the end of the week currently for us.

Steve,

Here in Anerley, SE20, we had sleety rain for a while during the lighter ppn but back to sleet/snow in this heavier stuff.

Regards,

Tom.

Still snowing in Canary Wharf but not as heavy as before! However, looking at the metoffice's hourly forecasts that change continuously the last hours I believe there is a lot of uncertainty on what is going to happen in the late afternoon/evening..it can be anything for the Greater London

[jayney69]

Confused (not hard)...all this talk of a wrap round. Is this the tail end of what we're (supposed to be) having today, which will come back this evening? And will it catch the North Kent coast (near Sheppey)??

[Meggy]

Light snow is now falling in Leigh On Sea!

And in South Ockendon. Very fine to start with, getting heavier as I type.

[VillagePlank]

Check again

Maybe God's just shaking off his dandruff. Looking West and hoping ...

[john mac]

Trying to settle here in chingford

[Wilks]

constant here for 3 hours but melts on contact with anything so nothing settled at all, might as well just be rain, same outcome!

[weathertoski]

Turning sleety now in Twickenham - can hear it on the velux window!

[SMU]

really chucking it down here now 50p flakes-- just entered the 'green' zone on the radar-

wonder if we can get settling-

I thing inner london / south london are slightly to warm because of the milder sector & the UHI effect- that UHI is probably worth +1/2 degrees in the daytime.

Snow starting to settle now as it cant melt fast enough- I bet at the top end by bean its covering already-

[danm]

Flakes getting bigger here in the City!
