Ponce it's in Norwich now, we'll just south west very small flakes but blowing a very cold wind

[WheresTheSnow]

Just looking at the Raintoday radar, it looks like everywhere around me has dark oranges and im still in the yellow precip!! Need a little shift West, heres hoping !!

[pipsta]

We have been building this bad boy all day

Only a very minor event here on the east Essex Suffolk border so far. Maybe more to come, but from the reports in the London and SE thread a much bigger event in the south and West of the region, which must be a surprise.

Wish we could have snow like Feb 1991, and Jan 1987 then I wouldn't have to struggle to work tomorrow.

Around 6cm fresh snow since 9am , persistent steady snow and still going .... East luton

Just a quick reminder to Alessio42 and any other new members, or those who haven't already done so to please put your locations in your profiles. Its handy when reporting snow fall to know where you are.

You can do this by clicking on your profile (top right hand corner), then clicking "edit profile". Add your location and save - thanks !

Still snowing in MK, light still but the odd few minute burst of heavier stuff then back to light small flakes again. Keeps getting deeper & deeper, up to 12cm again now on the grass behind my flat, so 6 or 7cm fallen since 9am.

Feels colder too, turned the heating up and just got a huge helping of shepherds pie out of the freezer for dinner later, nom nom

[Wikki]

Seems to be coming more of a westerly direction now, fingers crossed!

[Hammer]

In rear garden slightly more sheltered than out my front, measurement just under 8cm. So about 5-6cm today. I would say looking at radar still a good few hours to go and I am just far enough East to be in slightly heavier PPN than those to my west.

yes i was saying that been in the light stuff all day

[Ben_Cambs]

Afternoon all.

Snow has really picked up in intensity over the past hour and a half. Haven't measured it yet, though 2 inches (5cm) perhaps outside with more to come!

[Mark Burton]

Have noticed that the band of snow on the Western flank is narrowing very quickly indeed! Was snowing in Swindon earlier, snow line almost back to Oxford now and still moving NE. Anyone have any thoughts on this? Is the front fragmenting, the midlands area of snow could be breaking away from the main area.

How much has fallen where you are Wikki?

[Bolton67]

top of the fence was clear this morning.. about 5cm so far

back garden, must be over 15cm + there now.

[Stuie]

Think I will take back my meh comment earlier. This is ok

[Whiskie the Cat]

Not a single flake all day in Norwich - Jan 2010 all over again for us by the looks of it

Nice piece of reverse psychology by me here - Level 5/6 snow for the last 5 minutes or so

[Yarmy]

A good 6 inches of anaprop on me now according to the radar. Exciting stuff, but invisible alas.

[WheresTheSnow]

yes i was saying that been in the light stuff all day

Slightly bigger flakes appearing now, or it is maybe just wishfulthinking. Looking at the SE thread, seems as though Croydon are getting it good. Still think we may get in on the heavier action, or thats what im hoping anyway

[Candice]

Nothing at all in West Norfolk

[Wikki]

Hi Ben, I've had around 6cm now, still coming down quite heavy, what do you think the chances of that load over the North sea making it this far south?

[PurpleButterfly]

Now up to 4cm here and still coming down.

[Eskimo]

Will post a snow depth once this event has gone by but Cheshunt has been hit HARD!

Frustrating isn't it lol.

Yes Cheshunt seems to have been in a similar band of PPN to my location for several hours. Looks good for at least a few more hours.
