London and South East Regional Discussion - 20th January 2013 13:00hrs>

[Downpour]

Still snowing lightly here,not had any big or medium flakes just constant light snizzle,then medium snow all day woopyyyyyyyyyyyyy

I have come to the conclusion that light-moderate mini flakes is the best snow (as long as it snows all day). This gear is utterly brilliant, lovely powder. Perfect.

Annnnnnnnnd, I think we're done. Finished on 7.5cm.

[Tilly]

Two flashes to north of here really coming down now..... Another cm in 30 minutes after three hours of lightish stuff.... Big flakes.... Temp 0c dew -1c

how many CM's are we at now Will?

[snowbob]

Would love an EENE wind to set in now lol

Just being greedy

[therecoil]

Here's hoping for another snow dose tomorrow evening

[john mac]

Still snowing here but lighter been amazing today. Any chance of a few more heavier bursts before we finish?

[Jimmyh]

Wow wot a day pushing towards 7 inches here

[recoil76]

here too i am high up on the downs , been skiing all afternoon and called it a day when found myself upside down in a three foot snow drift , too cold and wet after that . enjoy the snow dude.

Sounds like a laugh..skiing in East Sussex eh.. who'd of thought it, what a day!

[snow raven]

A few reports of seeing flashes (including myself) Could it be thunder snow?

[SMU]

Well we have an hour left here-

total currently pushing on 10cm- cant really argue with that-

Cant believe the radar- EPIC echoes over suffolk!

I know, weird 3rd day in a row i have skied on the south downs , a lot cheaper than the Alps!!!!!

Its been rather odd to be honest.... Think that when we had the light stuff this afternoon the snow compacted as the last hour footprints etc have covered up but we have between 6-8 cm depending on where you measure it....flakes are quite big now when i just put recycling out.... Very pretty looking at the trees glowing white in the street lights....

[rubble79]

JP, Have you noticed the ppn is being shunted and pushing back towards Croydon. This is truly amazing

Still snowing here and temp is -2c

I can't see it doing that on the radar? I notice it's evaporating quicker to our West more than it's shunting towards us in the other direction. At this rate we will be done very soon.

Yes, I agree, much sooner have this than big flakes which degrade when they hit the ground. Tonight you can see tiny individual snowflakes sparkling where they lie - amazing.

So, after the agony of the last few days/weeks, has everyone cheered up now?

[john mac]

Snow getting heavy again! Bigger flakes. Radar is pepping up a lot across north and north-east London. What a day.

Where are you mate?

[craigore]

11 hrs and still falling all be it turning lighter., wth temperature falling fast.. what a day, Will the schools be open tomorrow, I doubt it..

[TheGate]

I think the flashes are trains, when the third rail gets a coating, the shoes can arc

[atrow]

will the snow stop for me soon ??

[Kent Blizzard]

On last check at 5.15pm was at 7cm

[k66yla]

virtually stopped here now, hearing a lot of drip, drip, drip but think thats because everyones heating including mine is working flat out. Sky is still really cloudy.

[SnowBorder]

Still lightly snowing here.

alot on the fence had started to thaw! I'll go and have a measure in a mo. It seemed alot deeper out the rec than in the garden. It looks lovely out there doesn't it

I hope they're not because I've been so busy watching/going out in the snow with the kids, I've just realised I haven't washed/dried/ironed any of their school uniform ready for the morning...

[manutdmatt1986]

Who cares?

Thanks.
