London and South East Regional Discussion - 20th January 2013 - 06z onwards

[Whereisthesnow?]

Looking good here - BBC forecast says 10am heavy snow. To be fair it could be accurate because flakes are gradually increasing here.

[Roadrunner]

Anyone know of any webcams in northern France we can look at?

[john pike]

Hi all

Its snowing :-)

Check the updated weather forecasts on bbc

Tomorrow looking good for us now as well

Snow here not heavy but did lay very quickly

[95 Degrees]

Radar show the heavy flakes refusing to hit past Newhaven but it just doesn't seem to matter, this fine stuff is quite heavy and now settling well on the pavements and roads replacing the slushy stuff.

[Buckster76]

seems earlier than I thought the snow would arrive ?

[Southender]

Moderate snow. 2cm and building rapidly.

[Alpine glow]

I thought that the Met Office would've upgraded this to an amber.

[mulzy]

Still light snow here in RP, easing a touch. Looks like the moderate snow is east of the meridian at the moment as predicted.

-1.2c

[Hotspur62]

About a 6 on Murr scale.Everything covered but still waitng for the heavier stuff in NW Kent(Warm shield working again!!)

Temp risen to -0.6.

At this rate and with snow projected to end about 4pm so i reckon about 3cms at this rate

[Froze were the Days]

Lightish snow (which has arrived early) about 1cm and temps of -0.1c

[tight isobar]

Yes certainly, looking, good for smashing,the expected 2/5,cms, as thought seems a good pep, is/will occur as front land bound....some suprises, in regards accumulations, maybe ön cards..all added with many hours of falls yet to come!!!!

[Snowy Bob]

It's like a form of snow I've never seen. Proper powder.

[john mac]

Flakes getting a bit bigger here. Got a feeling this is going to be a very good day. Going up to high beech this our little one friends and our lovely Siberian husky

[scrat]

Morning everyone! Snowing in good old Biggin. Managed some sledging yesterday and today going to get the snow board out haha. Have a great day x

[NO LONGER POSTING]

Yes certainly, looking, good for smashing,the expected 2/5,cms, as thought seems a good pep, is/will occur as front land bound....some suprises, in regards accumulations, maybe ön cards..all added with many hours of falls yet to come!!!!

So tight Isobar.. We meet again eh? With this westward shift.. I feel it may be a fight to the death!

[Snowy782]

Snowing small flakes at quite a nice rate here:) a good cm already. As they say let it snow...

[Lampostwatcher]

Snowing

Light to mod

I can see London getting 10cn

[SussexCoast]

Here in Peacehaven 7 miles along the coast from Brighton ( East of ) we have continuous light snow with some decent intensity, laying well again.

How long is this band programmed to be with us today, is there a second band or greater intensity due throughout the day, or is it due to fizzle out??

Thanks Guys.

[SMU]

A good cm here now & climbing in Bexleyheath ( DA6)

Heavier stuff out to home DA10- should be a bit better there-

the mouth of the Estuary getting green on the radar south extreme NW/North kent More particular to South essex looks good-

PLENTY more to come...

[matt brid]

Very Light Snow falling in Harrow.

Dusting thus far ...

[snowrye]

Small flakes here but building up nicely,and potentially more for my area tomoz night

[finny]

east kent coast

[Lampostwatcher]

7.4cm

Lost 2cm with the thaw yesterday

[lottiekent]

It's like a form of snow I've never seen. Proper powder.

I agree! About a 5 on that scale posted a few pages back.

My Dad works for Shepway council (he is one of the guys who drives the big cleaner machines usually) and he started at 6am. He said the snow started at 6:30 and by 8:30 they were all sent home as there was no gritting overnight apparently. He lives in Densole and said Spitfire Way was not good at 8:45ish so if this keeps up won't be many from up on the hills getting down to town if they need/want to!

[anything-but]

Bikewatch as of 2 mins ago....

Was pretty clear about 8am so looking good for the heavier stuff later.
