South East and East Anglia Regional Discussion 10th February 2013 15:00hrs>

I'd certainly suggest the Downs, they'll have the most snow in the whole area, and will see the least thaw I suspect tomorrow.

I would say Ashridge forest. fantastic elevation and always get loads of snow, also a brilliant sledging spot

[Southender]

Not here it aint - Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Oh well only a 2 mile drive west to see some settling snow tomorrow!

Coming down at a good clip though Paul.

You never know, a few hours of this and we may scrape a slight covering.

[Reefseeker]

Temp and dew point now going UP in Surbiton and still raining,

[Ste L]

Just wondering how long itll take until we get the prats wheel-spinning on the road for fun... road is now white, cards are and snow is coming down heavy 50p+ sized flakes and a strong wind.

(nr Goodmayes, Gtr London)

Wouldn't the 'Ups' make more sense?

Not if you're on a sledge! Still coming down nicely here and definitely starting to lay

Its amazing just how well West Essex has done compared to us fishes down the Estuary this winter.

Lucky Lucky Beggars!

[stewfox]

and now for something silly:

sorry couldn't resist it... missed the last lot u all had in Jan as was away (-:

Nice all snow here now but not settling yet

[Stuie]

Driving Snow here still, things turning slightly white now. Settling on cars and roofs now.

Small flakes really though, but heavish also.

Temp 0.9c

Make the most of it Gregg, the car will be nicked soon.

[pinball wizard]

I've always wondered this: why are the called the Downs? Wouldn't the 'Ups' make more sense?

Always pondered that myself

[Hammer]

No alterations to conditions still snowing, still

Temp 0.9

Dew point -0.1

No alterations

Dartford seems to have matched East Herts temp/DP pretty much all day.

In fact things have levelled off in past hour or so.

Could just do with increased ppn rate now.

[Tom Montalbano]

Cant remember who was posting these dew point temps earlier, saw them at work. 0c line def. creeping further west. Meant to say London/North.

Only started settling on grass recently. Maybe the slightly higher position helps, and should start settling Leigh way soonish ?

Nowt on the roads yet though.

Yh just looked at me lamp post and it is horizontal heavy snow but just cannot get going on the grass or cars or shrubs, the road is a long long way from turning white

[dubmuffin]

and now for something silly:

sorry couldn't resist it... missed the last lot u all had in Jan as was away (-:

Haha! I always do that too (though no chance tonight yet!)

[Lampostwatcher]

Wow

[tight isobar]

The heights at Greenland, are at present modeled ön 12z ecm as by part not complete heights gained, but who knows. Ehh...more runs......

[Ste L]

True, Goodmayes , Greater London possibly lol

I didn't think anyone still classed Goodmayes as Essex!

Glad it's snowing there though!

[Flaked Queen]

Very light snow here now after hours of rain

[Lampostwatcher]

Wow

grrrr bloody copy in way of lampost lol

[Froze were the Days]

What a waste of the white stuff! not settling here apart from sludge on the car windows. ggrrrrr!!

[final dest]

Moderate snow here in Colchester.

Light covering on cars, grass and roofs but roads still clear. Shocked considering how wet its been today.

[NO LONGER POSTING]

yeh I have to say game over now folks below the red line here is the snow line for tonight and tomorrow:

The line going to the North of kent this is where it will move to as the night progresses.. Better luck next time

[danm]

This is turning out to be MUCH better than expected. All surfaces now have at least a dusting, with the grass, cars and roofs having more. Quite heavy, powdery snow falling.!

[Bluebreezer54]

So frustrating, dew point 1c = rain here, heavy rain too.... Oh to be. 10 miles east, can't believe we not dragging in those colder conditions

You were writing it off as a non event days ago. Karma

[yamkin]

The lack of excited posts from the Croydon area says it all, not looking great here at the moment. I checked the Met Office WOW site about an hour ago and all the temps in the area were showing 2c, now all the temps to the south of me are around 0c, so maybe the cold is coming and things will improve. There is certainly enough precipitation.

Still snowing in this part of Croydon
