[Boro Snow]

Moderate/heavy snow but its a bad sign when the snow is sliding off all the car windows.

[Cloud 10]

Fairly heavy snow here now.

Radar looking very good.

You peeps seem to be having a fun time - just a little envious here.. but happy all the same for you... no really I am, after all the talk of the south getting it all

I got these two fakes on my car this morning!

have a great day

Well someone pulled in with there car and I was going to use this as a guide to how much snow could actually be settling and despite how heavy and persistent the snow is, not an awful lot was accumulating on the windscreen and it was sliding off hence I think its a little marginal in terms of settling snow.

Nevertheless, a good covering and some has been added to earlier it would appear, but perhaps not as much as you would expect.

Glad the north are getting snow, if this was happening in the se, they'd have to issue an amber and it would be all over the news as if a meteor had just hit.

Great picture! Are you using a special lens? or just a macro?

[Andy_]

Oh my couple of inches of snow outside, I didn't expect that like hahaha

3" of heavy snow and more to come with no alert. The roads must be dangerous. Its on the right side of marginal here. Snow is stuck to the car sides and its not budging.

thanks.. its a 100mm macro yes - I only use it when a bigger picture would be disappointing (-:

[Snowmaggedon]

Woke up this morning and was very surprised when I peeped out of the window. Generally did not expect any accumulations, looks beautiful

Must admit, whilst it did look like Saturday was our best chance for snowfall, this is better than what I was expecting in all honesty. Better make the most of it though!

Great pic-more than here... how high up are you?

[gazzac69]

50m I think, not high at all approx.1 mile north of 4 lane ends metro

[saintkiptanui]

It would be quite a distraction for the saints seeing all that funny white stuff. 2-0 the toon.

Need an amber warning down here, it's snowing and if you look closely a few grains have settled on the bin, hopefully southampton airport won't close.

[Freezing-Point]

What looks to be the heaviest intensity ppm so far is moving in from the sea.......

[Summer Sun]

Around 4cm here in Darlo the dew point is now into positive territory which explains why the snow is sliding of car windows

[saintkiptanui]

20 actually, find it hilarious why you venture into this thread to post sarcastic comments

i like it in here, it's snowier than my thread
