[london-snow]

Just measured a total of 16.1cms that means 4cms have fallen here today on top of the leftovers from a few days ago.

Still coming down heavy

[Terrence]

Coming down quite nicely in Tooting arguably heavier than what we had on Friday

[Whereisthesnow?]

Seems heavier now in Bexley - and long may it last!

[Heretic]

Really coming down quite hard now! Flakes still not that big but a decent size. Looking a lot like it was on Friday.

[MrsB28]

Just measured 4cm now just from today

[yamkin]

Much heavier band of snow and currently -2c

[pages]

Any reports from Ockendon way?

Want to know how my snow cup match up with Crazy Diamond is going!..

3.6cm

[Froze were the Days]

Yes as the low moves north the precipitation will gradually have a increased sea track so will pick up more moisture, eventually around early evening the low will move to far north and cut of our feed of snow.

I see intensity increasing for next 3 hours then maybe the reverse possibly for another 3 hours then just odd showers into early hours before the sky clears and very very cold night

Serious trouble tomorrow rush hour any roads that are fine now will freeze over with minus 8 widely tonight and the same for the trains.

I very much doubt temps will get that low overnight, I can't see the cloud cover thinning until at least the early hours and if it does -1 to -3 will be closer to the mark.

[ChartViewer]

Heaviest its been all day right now

[Weathizard]

The thing I like best about the snow is watching it falling. Once it stops I worry that I won't get any more, a bit like the falls of the last few years, so this snow on snow event is rather exciting

Yep. Its very rare especially for us down here to get snow on snow I find, even in 2009/10 I'm not sure I had more snow added to first band of snow. Very nice to see it, not sure how long we can keep it for mind!

[Southender]

Mini avalanche from the solar panels on the bungalow across the street (far left)

[yamkin]

a little bit heavier - latest raintoday update shows a clear amplification of ppn over the channel - good times... any word on school closures tomorrow?

It will be best to wake a little earlier tomorrow to find out if schools are closed. I think many will be closed

[Guest bjaykent]

Just measured 4cm now just from today

Same in Gravesend 4cm all today!

[Laurence Hill]

Intensified in Raynes Park

Temp just dropped a notch to 0.0

Great day

[danm]

Flakes are the biggest they've been all day currently.

[Met4Cast]

This snow just keeps coming and coming!

It's a shame it's nothing more than heavy snizzle, if this was proper snow we'd be buried by now!

[manutdmatt1986]

Just been to the shops. The snow is lovely and a good covering. Lovely powder powering from the sky, and there should be plenty more to come :-) Currently -1 with the dew point at -3.

Just a quickie from work, snowing about as heavy as its been all morning now, in Croydon.

Re. the Snow Depth Challenge Cup, if its ok with moderators,Paul,etc, would it be ok to create a separate thread?

Fair point from Thinon.

As the threads are moving so fast, its cluttering up the thread each time I post draw and any posting of depths is getting lost in the white noise of this thread. Would make my job easier too, collating all your totals!

Please let me know.

Regards,

Tom.

Tom for competitions like this, in future I recommend using google docs to list everyone, really easy to use and you can issue a link and the chart/table will load for all to see

[keke]

Just seen ITV weather (yes, I know, what was I thinking?!). Says snow for south tomorrow too, more towards the west.

[<<Ryan>>]

Had just over 5cm today, snow seems to be getting lighter now

[john mac]

Bigger flakes coming down soon

Now lol

Anyone know what the trains are like?

[Whereisthesnow?]

8 more hours of this could be interesting. (According to BBC Weather for my area). I know, I shouldn't read too much into that.
