Yeh sure there is a v v slight thaw outside with bits of something falling, either v light grauple or sleety rain, won't know until i get out in it soon BUT Meto upgrade to heavy snow by 3pm?! V confused?!!!x

[ChartViewer]

I'm very-much liking the sound of that, Tamara!

Me to RP.....Looking at wind obs for 3pm onwards you can see that stiff East wind picking up and surpressing those temps as Tamara has suggested.

[exodus]

Can't work out whether it is raining or snowing in walthamstow, looks like wet snizzle.

[Jo S]

still snowing lightly here

I'm very-much liking the sound of that, Tamara!

Yes, I think much as yesterday, we can look at what conditions our European cousins have as that plays an important part when we have the wind blowing from that way

[Jo S]

still snowing lightly here

We dont get snizzle or grauple here as i live in a posh area

[nanu]

thawing very quickly here.. at this rate by 2pm it would be all gone.. quite amazed actually!!

[keke]

So, tomorrows snow is coming in the morning/afternoon now? Not in the evening/overnight? Grateful for either, would rather an overnight snow beating though=more disruptive :-)

[rubble79]

slight thawing here. The iron railings now have no snow on and I can see the drip. Pavements that have been walked on are thawing in the footprints and that slow thaw around the edges of buildings and manhole covers etc. Not a rapid thaw, I'm not worried about it. Hopefully the temp will fall back and we will get some cool icicles.

Feel a bit underwhelmed today after the buzz last night of an awesome ECM and the odd surrey shower swirl on the radar. I'm really hoping we get a surprise today and that tomorrow ends up being a far bigger event then we expect.

[Reefseeker]

Surbiton this morning seems to have the snow melting just a smidge from the rooftops, pavements etc, grey skies but nothing falling, although light snow continued to fall until past midnight enough for a millimetre or two on cleared surfaces. Hope we get a top-up tomorrow from the snow event, and wishing you guys over on the 'other side' in Essex/Kent a nice outcome, having experienced the disappointment of a non-event earlier this week. Can never believe how hard it is to forecast/get snow in the UK!

Anyway, some pics taken on my new Samsung camera's maiden voyage in the snow yesterday:

[CrimsonSunset]

What is the Netweather 'Will it snow?' based on? It has 95% for here today which definitely cant be right, there's nothing on the way until tomorrow.

[clark3r]

I think there must be alot of uncertainty about the snow in the south east tommorow as no weather warning in place! maybe it will come in to place this evening!

[jright35]

Temperature still rising in Dartford now 0.6. With dew point -0.7, bit of a thaw starting to set in, think my little lot will be disappeared by tonight.

[PrettyYellow]

Thawing here...snow is slightly melting...hopefully the snow to come replaces the lost snow...
