finalky started turning to snow now ,

[chionomaniac]

Just rain here.

I have spent the last couple of hours assembling a new weather station. Sadly I won't be able to get it outside and up on the roof for a couple of weeks. Interestingly the dew point reading from the conservatory is 1.3ºC - dropping steadily since I have put it together. I suspect that that is the correct dew point but can't understand why as the conservatory has no open windows or vents open to outside!

[Stuie]

Def. more snow than sleet here now. That 0c dew point line sliding west towards us here in S.E.London and areas to our N.W.

This is an accurate chart, tallies up with my Cambs info of 0 (ish)

Hi Tom, that's good to know, the intensity has really dropped off here so it is pretty much light rain out there now. Fingers crossed the dew point line keeps moving my way

[Lampostwatcher]

Good luck M! You may have just copied & pasted that post every time it snows in this region!

Envy..

Moderate sleet here + bits of snow.

CR*P

yep looking good Steve !!

Been very lucky so far this winter

[Charltonkerry]

Been snowing heavily for a few hours in Dartford but hasn't settled at all, assume it won't now?

[C_Scotty]

Still snowing 6/10 in Braintree. Settling on the roads now and all pavements.

[Team Jo]

Got to say that is one impressive radar, anyone who holds onto Snow all the way through it going to see some impressive totals I would have thought

House Roofs = Check

Cars = Check

Shrubs = Nope

Roads = Nope

Grass = Nope

Getting there slowly and has been quite heavy now for an hour or so

And those all important snow indicators look very nice now

Temp 0.4c

Dewp -0.6c

Lovely Dewpoint heading south!

We've got grass AND shrub coverage. Wheelie bins also.... toot!

[Lampostwatcher]

Anyone got any depth yet !!

[SMU]

Just looked at the radar- SE essex- getting caned as the PPN runs over the Thames it keeps holding intensity on those green echoes!

could be some 4-5cms soon

[Hemelgeographer]

Moderate snow, heavy at times, has covered everything here in Hemel Hempstead (149m) during the past 90minutes. About 2 or 3 cm on the grass and the wind has picked up, blowing the now much finer snowflakes horizontally at times. Everything below the snow is very wet following 13mm of rainfall over the past 24hours, so it shows how intense the snow has been in order to establish a cover. Current temperature is 0 C so it could be very awkward for travel in the morning if it all freezes and more snow accumulates. Gritter has just gone by! Out of interest it was snowing heavily on top of the Chilterns near Ashridge, by 3.30pm and was starting to settle Potentially there could be quite a cover by now.

[BlizzardBelle]

Heavy snow in Wandsworth sw18, not sticking though

[lewis028]

Pavement now turning white along with parts of the road !

[snowwonder]

Over an inch of snow here now.

[Mike Storm]

[TornadoJo]

[Bluebreezer54]

Heavy rain in feltham west London...

Heavy snow in Nw London

[Southender]

Just looked at the radar- SE essex- getting caned as the PPN runs over the Thames it keeps holding intensity on those green echoes!

Yep coming down nicely.

Starting to settle on the roads now.

[Dan the Man]

Am I right in thinking that this system is yet to peak?

[High Altitude]

Blizzards whiteout conditions

Still settling measurement to come

I'm in the same neck of the old as you and although can confirm its snowing there's nothing settling here and certainly nothing to measure. At best have slush on cars.

Temp dropped to 0

DP risen to 1

[rubble79]

Still seeing cars driving past with snow on them. It's almost like they are tormenting me.

Nothing seems to be falling here now. Back to watching the amazing time lapses of the US snow storm.

[Ste L]

2-3cm on roads, pavements, cards, here id guesstimate

(nr Goodmayes, Greater London)

[malc]

Settling snow on cars, road and grass now.

[Canalboy]

Anyone got any depth yet !!

A good old fashioned inch here and everything covered...been blizzard like powdery snow for a good two hours now and the kerbs on the point of disappearing. Even the boy racers are toning it down to eighty miles an hour along Upminster Road!

[Paul Sherman]

Yep we are starting to get mullered now, roads turning now as Shrimper says, Love you Thames Estuary - Mwah
