still coming down, covering everywhere, small flakes though

[blackprince]

Just sprayed half a can of de icer on my dish to clear snow, back working now

Good choice...sod getting in the car to go to work in the morning lol

[Hotspur62]

To Jimmyh-Live in Petts wood/Locksbottom borders and just a little bit on tops of cars and a bit on roofs of houses and on grass.Stopped now.Think Knockholt will have a good covering,its all about the elevation and with them over 600ft asl they will have done pretty well i think.

[jodaw84]

Im in Eythorne between Dover and canterbury. I think around 90 asl? Got 2-3cm now easy. How long is it going to go on for.

[easton888]

radar shows a big yellow blob over Brighton/Eastborne right now, by the looks of the chart it could make it to London by about 9:30pm, anyone seen this?

[PurpleButterfly]

still moderate snowfall here, light dusting on the grass and pavement. but the kids climbing frame looks like its got about 1cm on it!

temp/dew point still no change at 0c.

[Dexter29]

Sky signal gone.

[Lampostwatcher]

Well according mr Alex Decon another 5 hours left of snow north of the Thames

[Mark wheeler]

Back to plain old rain last 30 mins before virtually stopping. Oh well never mind always next time. Glad at least some have snow .

[Matty J]

Heavy here now and all surfaces are now covered!

Very surprised given how wet everywhere was but its great to see even if it won't be on the ground for long.

[WillinGlossop]

[masked_firefly]

Where are the other Ipswich folk tonight?

Just peeped outside and within the last hour it has started sticking to grass/cars etc, guessing with meto going for snow all night we could have a good covering by morning

Coming down nice here. I think the heavier stuff as you say is out towards Shoeburyness. Not doing much for accumulations though to be honest. Perhaps 0.5-0.7cm now.

rain turned to sleet about 4pm turned to snow about 5:30pm coeing down fairly hard since then about 2 cms accumulation so far in Billericay. My gritted road seems to be turning white.

Same here, been snowing for an hour, but only shed roof having any joy.

It's like slush puppy on the windows!

[johnashw]

Elevation matters - at Aylesbury end of Aston Clinton -virtually nowt. At other end of village (maybe 50 to 100 ft higher) then all is white and road up to Tring and A41 covered.

I'm giving up!! We won't get anything out of this tonight...... We need our snow to come from the east!

[matty8]

As we've seen so many times this winter for some reason most of Cambridgeshire/Norfolk/Parts of Suffolk are seeing barely a thing in the way of precip, it just fizzles out when it gets here!!! grrrr. Quietly optimistic we might be in for something better in the early hours/morning for this area as it moves away from London/Essex. Not holding much hope though :/
