Still coming down here,Been light to medium all day. No real increase in ppn at all really just constant small flakes. Guess thats how it will stay untill it finally passes through. Got a good 7-8cm out of it though.

Sunday evenings are always quiet on the roads, but tonight everyone is staying in and it's dead out there! The gritters hate this as it means the grit won't work.

Tomorrow morning may be interesting.....going to be on A14 and A12 at 6am....going to be leaving early!

Saying that, if the snow keeps coming like it is, i'm not going to be able to even get to the A14.....shovel is in the boot ready!

[Mr_Pessimistic]

You're not all that far from me! I can be in Diss in 20 minutes. We have had about 4cm now, been snowing properly since about 2pm. Very fine snow but building nicely even on the road. Not a soul to be seen this evening!

Yeah I'm v unlucky with reguards to snow, always the liest hit area, totalling 3 inches since the begginin of this cold spell so far.. :-(

[atrow]

Snow has settled on the soaking roads for the hours, conditions are bad!

how much longer should we expect snow ?? thanks

[saint]

Main roads have a covering in then, this has surprised after earlier! Oh, and because it only started around 4, you'll all be sad to hear I was only able to grit the hill in the work car park!

how much longer should we expect snow ?? thanks

No idea I'm afraid, only just left work.

[Polar Front]

Been snowing here since 9am & is still coming down. Over the last hour or so the snow area over the southern North Sea has really intensified. Will the area over East Anglia intensify as well?

[fenland ice]

Darker blues getting closer on the radar so might start properly soon . . . . greens still a long way away. Just a shame I have to work tonight but at least if it shows properly then driving will be more interesting :-)

Drive carefully, starting to come down more steady now, would just love a good covering by dawn.

Hows it looking in northampton as due home tomorrow from wales.

[Mesoscale]

Unfortunatley I am on the very western side of the snow! we have only had 1/2cm here in watford unfortunatley.

Main Roads will be fine, side roads will be bad. still coming down.

I think you will have a very good covering by dawn! If that darker ppn in the N Sea hits you tonight you will be digging yourselves out in the morning.

Main Roads will be fine, side roads will be bad. still coming down.

Cheers for that.

Anyone know of conditions near elveden centreparcs? Heading there next week

I would imagine that all the main roads will be well clear by 10am tomorrow, first thing may be tricky. Will little significant snow forecast after tonight it should all be clear. Back roads on the other hand will still be icy come the end of the week...with only a very gentle thaw this coming week!

[MarcB]

Very fine again now but the intensity is still there. Looking at the different radars, we could still have 4-6 hours to come, incredible.

Currently a 5 on the SM scale.

I take it there wasn't much prior to today?

[Hammer]

Not doing quite as well as you in Elsenham kris, but 7cm here or so. It does look though like some of the heaviest stuff may be on the way

.

Nearly 10cm in total, so about 7-8cm from today. Seems fairly moderate again out there right now. Would not rule out 9-10cm from today when it finally stops.

[WheresTheSnow]

Unfortunatley I am on the very western side of the snow! we have only had 1/2cm here in watford unfortunatley.

I think we've still done fairly well, it's still snowing as well, and according to the radar it shouldn't be. Not sure how much we've had overall as I haven't been able to find a ruler anywhere, lol.

[Dan the Man]

There's still plenty to come - just look at White Hart Lane in North London; Level 8 flakes there.
