[Wet'n'Dry]

Na,Suzuki GSR600.

Oh? My condolences

[95 Degrees]

Normally have a phone call from my mum who lives near Limoges by now. Guessing they've had it bad down there and the phone lines are down. No let up here, small powdery flakes with larger ones occassionally. The grass has almost disappeared.

Snowed as far south as Toulouse today, everywhere has it.

[Biggin]

Biggin how much snow you got...ive got you in the Snow depth cup

+5Centimetres trying to upload a picture as we speak

[<<Ryan>>]

Never posted a picture before, so hope this works!!

[Southender]

Getting on for an inch now. And you know what I am over the moon. If it stopped now I would still be a happy chappy. Just glad to see a proper covering at last.

[sgrech]

Blast Chelmsford is right on the edge of the heavier stuff. So near but so far!

Oh well im out

[tonbridgemole]

Small flakes tons of though 7/10

[Southender]

Seem to be in a bit of a sweet spot here at the mouth of the thames, the greens keep back building.

Word!

[Lauren]

Happy to report it is snowing here.

[Essexgooner]

Similar to the Shrimper here too, around an 1 inch now and building

[Whereisthesnow?]

Possibly beating the amount we had on Friday here, which is good. Would live to see larger flakes for a few hours so the grass disappears. This light to moderate is great but takes longer to cover the entire grass in the garden.

[Snowy Bob]

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!

Agreed on that. Hardly any of the town's paths have been treated neither as the snow is covering those paths in town - particularly around the shopping centre. Only so much people can do.

Tomorrow for a lot of people is gonna be an day off me thinks.

Looking at the Raintoday radar it looks like this is headed NW which is good cos means there's more to come over me but the heavier orange blobs seem to be breaking off east covering east Kent and N Sea? Is this right? Not the best at radar interpretation?!x

[Lampostwatcher]

8.3cm

[Tom Jarvis]

[Brocken Spectre]

Looking at Sheerness webacm (IOSSC) snow looks marginal right on the coast. +0.6

Luckily it's not here

[Ice BIast]

we are catching up with you, i would think we have had approx 2cms at the moment

And it's starting to get heavier as well. Still small flakes though.

[Jezzer]

Heading round the M25 anticlockwise into the eye of the storm, still fine snow but getting heavier! Now passing junction 8 and the temp according to car thermometer is -2 and snow now laying on motorway

Are you getting bigger flakes now?

[Guest bjaykent]

nearly 2cm 5 on SM scale, Wife just woke up and said it was my fault, I said synoptically it was the fault of low pressure coming from France and nothing to do with me, unfortunately I cant type the reply to that LOL.

[chionomaniac]

Good to see some happier easterners on here today. Good to see you getting your turn now.

[Southender]

Still -0.6c/-5.4c here.

Marginality shield holding firm.
