[The Snow Bulldog]

Just had a quick look in the London and South East thread, reports are that snow is beginning to intensify from south coast upwards

[atrow]

I've just seen in,the London forum it's guna stop in an hour, maybe 2 in the far east but looks like there's loads to come on the radar. can anyone confirm this or is it wrong?

[Mark Burton]

Looks like 'Will it rain today' radar is down - anybody else experiencing this?

Also Temp on the rise again, up to 0.7C with very light snow - not good.

It has stopped here already. Sorry, no it hasn't stopped, what I mean is it hasn't started.

[If Wishes made Weather]

Looks to be a band of slightly heavier snowfall running north south through the region ATM. Someone on London thread suggesting 'blizzard'. I wonder what would happen were to actually get a blizzard one day!

[Nick.F]

Still light snow, probably just over 1cm, but definitely some melting, still see green grass. Fairly meh here.

[Captain Shortwave]

Nothing here yet, but it's really windy, regret not putting the washing out, most of the snow from thursday night has gone and it's bone dry. Perfect for settling, have to admit if there is heavy snow coming, we are going to get a blizzard here

[Methuselah]

Exactly ponce! Even though we got 6" in the week we also need a top up over this way. I do t trust the met forecasts said we would get it Friday and we got nout then.

And, who needs a fancy radar, eh? I can see it's doing nowt, and done nowt, just by looking out the windy!

[Long haul to mild]

Coming down fairly steadily here in Kesgrave but nothing out of this world as yet.

[Gary_R_Walker]

I'm not talking to anyone who has had snow today until I get snow. That might sound childish but I don't care, because I'm sulking.

[Staffordshire]

Looks like you guys in the north of EA are going to be smashed from that ppn off your coast very soon

[TEITS]

Temps dropping, snow increasing outside, radar improving and that idiot has gone inside with his spade.

So looking much better for this afternoon.

[Norfolk_N_chance]

Is that massive area of precipitation off the east coast heading in a west/northwesterly direction? We still have nothing falling from the skys, all except my expectations. Met office do reckon that it should snow in north Norfolk from 3pm onwards and be heaviest towards this evening.

[WheresTheSnow]

I want to see some heavy snow falling, that is the best part ! Still light though, guess the heavy stuff will be further N & E of here.

Hi TEITS, is the snow struggling to settle where you are. Do you think as temperatures fall and the snow potentially intensifies that all surfaces will start to get covered? Ground seems pretty wet here now.

[Captain Shortwave]

I thought it was forecast in the north by 3ish, judging by the 13:30 MO radar, looks like a large surge in energy approaching the Suffolk and Norfolk coasts, should be here about 14:30 hopefully. Not too hopeful after this. For some reason temperatures Tuesday onwards are about 4 or 5 where I am as opposed to 0 inland

Didn't have frosties this morning, was pretty much forced to eat hot cross buns, hopefully no a bad omen

look east mate!

[Justin Pearson]

Well been snowing here in Ipswich since about 11.30 nothing fancy just light snow more of the powder!! But looks to be picking up a bit now with some bigger flakes mixed in. What we need is some of them massive flakes coming down fast for a good 20 mins or so then this small stuff will settle quite nicely. So if anyone has big flakes please send them over. No frosted flakes tho thanks tried them last week and they didn't work

Finally there are a few flakes in the air here in Beccles

[Gary_R_Walker]

look east mate!

I am looking east, I'm looking straight out at the North Sea, my house faces the North Sea, and I'm sitting in my comfy chair looking at the North Sea. What do I do now?

i think the temperature has dropped in the past half hour as my hands are cold also it seems a bit darker.I'm supposed to be writing a really important report to deadline, but I keep staring out of the window and losing my concentration.Hope it starts soon, then i can ignore it for a while.

Yee Ha! Just spotted some. Didn't want to get too excited, too soon!!
