[camiscool]

Haven't the precipitation nearly passed through ?

[Pixel]

Murr Scale Level 8 snow now being driven along on a freshening south-easterly - but not settling (yet).

0- Nothing / Nada / just curtain dust + flies around the outside light

1- Odd pellet here & there- however we can mentally confirm there are 'flakes'

2- visible light snow falling- not visible to the lampost yet ( unless you stand underneath & obscure the light)

3- flurry level- makes light blue on the radar & a few flakes seen across the lampost

4- we can confirm snow falling without staring at the light- Can confirm to friends & loved ones its snowing via text etc

5- Status 2- moderate flurry, its fine snow at the moment still- it looks quite hard in terms of snow falling however its not amounting to anything

6- proper flakes falling- you will see them now- the odd flake mixed in with the moderate fine snow

7- transition to normal flakes all complete- moderate snow outside

8- 20p flakes going at a steady pace now- accumulating around 0.5cm - 1cm per hour

9- heavy 20p Snow - visibly accumulating + 1cm per hour

10- entry level heavy snow arriving- 50p flakes fluttering in the 20p flakes.. awaiting the beast...

11- 50p flakes nearly transitioned over- we can call it heavy settling snow 2cm ++ per hour

12- Very heavy snow inch per hour all 50p flakes

13- Blizzard- combined with +40 MPH wind-

'Currently 'snowcon 7' settling on car windscreen (stationary) T 1.5c DP 0.5c Street light OFF, Radar looks good. snowcon 8 imminent. Over... '

Sleet with flakes here now. That changed very quick.

Snowing in Sittingbourne. Not laying as its very wet. I'm expecting between 7-11pm to be the peek time and the snow too settle

[Tom Montalbano]

Sleet here at work, not far from Central Croydon.

Cheers,

Tom.

[abruzzi spur]

Practically stopped here now! Wasn't expecting that.

[Snow Queen one]

snowing proper now with it settling on the grass and the decking.

[Iceni]

Need to see that dewpoint drop — guess it would about 1ºC and the temperature's on 2ºC, so sleety rain only here.

Just doesn't have that nip in the air you have with snow that'll settle.

[yamkin]

Snowing in Croydon - Temp is 2c

[Sara]

Gone very dark here. Still raining . Waiting for the lamposts to be switched on :-)

[anything-but]

Central london=yukk. :-(

Rained all blooming day,be glad to get home,rather soaked through just now

How's the rain/sleet/snow (Delete as appropriate) in medway?

[Dan the Man]

Moderate snow here in Luton. Starting to settle on the grass, not on paths/roads as yet.

[Mr Maunder]

Snowing properly in Tunbridge Wells (where I am on the high ground anyway). Lawn now more white than green, car roof white (it is a black car!). House rooves turning white, but no settling on roads or pavements yet. Temp dropped from 2.2c to 0.5c since the rain to sleet to snow transition started an hour ago. No DP reading I'm afraid.
