i know its a stupid question but what is ppn hahaha

Precipitation, can be used for snow or rain!

[Eskimo]

A good 8 on the Murr scale!

[Dunstable Snow]

moderate snow here in Dunstable now but flakes very small ( wash powder variety). Has deposited a further cm so far. Good luck to everybody today. Snow fall Looks set in for much of day light hours.

[tinybill]

very light snizzle here at the moment

[claret047]

haha yea i now 90 quid for xmas tree. do hope it gets a bit heavier

Why how much does it weigh?

Here in Chelmo still fine sleety snow falling like it has been for at least the last 90 minutes or so. Anyone know what conditions are like it the Godmanchester area, as we have to drive up to there in about an hour or so's time.

Kind regards

Dave

Yes same here in St Neots, moderate persistant snow falling, although also tiny flakes, im not complaining though....snow all day please

[TheBigFreeze]

Bugger me, I'll have died of old-age by the time the snow gets here!

if it gets here....i'm sitting about 5 miles north of that norwich to peterborough line TEITS was on about and it just seems to have stopped!!!

[REAVE]

Here in Bedford is there a reason why all the heavy snow has missed here this year it's the same as Friday all the heavy stuff skirting around us , is it geographical maybe ?

[Summer of 76]

Still snowing, we have had a cm so far although my main concern is that the temperature seems to be rising slowly here, not much but enough to make the paths start losing their cover, really need heavier ppn to bring the temperature down.

[tinybill]

light snow falling in ipswich at last!!!!

[Snowman.]

For those who it may concern, I've filched the Murr Scale from the LSE thread:

0- Nothing / Nada / just curtain dust + flies around the outside light

1- Odd pellet here & there- however we can mentally confirm there are 'flakes'

2- visible light snow falling- not visible to the lampost yet ( unless you stand underneath & obscure the light)

3- flurry level- makes light blue on the radar & a few flakes seen across the lampost

4- we can confirm snow falling without staring at the light- Can confirm to friends & loved ones its snowing via text etc

5- Status 2- moderate flurry, its fine snow at the moment still- it looks quite hard in terms of snow falling however its not amounting to anything

6- proper flakes falling- you will see them now- the odd flake mixed in with the moderate fine snow

7- transition to normal flakes all complete- moderate snow outside

8- 20p flakes going at a steady pace now- accumulating around 0.5cm - 1cm per hour

9- heavy 20p Snow - visibly accumulating + 1cm per hour

10- entry level heavy snow arriving- 50p flakes fluttering in the 20p flakes.. awaiting the beast...

11- 50p flakes nearly transitioned over- we can call it heavy settling snow 2cm ++ per hour

12- Very heavy snow inch per hour all 50p flakes

13- Blizzard- combined with +40 MPH wind-

About a 7 here then hoping for a 9 maybe 10!

[Floatylight]

theres not such hole on the nw radar

[JMTD]

Started a bit better over here now, coming down pretty fast. Not too heavy or anything, but just glad to have it underway!

Bedford sits in a valley. (so i've been told)

[Hughsey]

Light snow for about 90 minutes here now, waiting for the heavier stuff later as this isnt really doing much

[Steve C]

Settling here nicely. It just makes me want to go the pub, this weather. Snow outside and a nice log fire. An hour till opening time...

[Nimbusman]

And there it is again........The big hole over Ipswich.

Yup! Remarkable! The durability of the Ipswich snow shield is demonstrating its one of the strongest in the uk!

Light snow here now!

[Stuie]

Considering the heavier snow is a few hours away there is no need for panic. If by 3pm it has stopped, cry.

[Keraunic]

Snizzle in Ippy. YAY! !

Light snow in Luton :-)

[Methuselah]

if it gets here....i'm sitting about 5 miles north of that norwich to peterborough line TEITS was on about and it just seems to have stopped!!!

I feel your pain, BF: I'm almost slap bang in the 12cm accumulation patch...And with a suggestion of a slight thaw developing, I might even have slipped to -1 on the Murr Scale!

[Gary_R_Walker]

Damn, not a flake, so it's back to work. Much brighter here now

[Stuie]
