Hammering down with snow here

[Charltonkerry]

You should! Ask them to check your line profile. I had an issue with mine a few years back and it turned out that it was fixed to 1mb when it should have been variable. Once they switched it I ended up with 8mb!

Thanks apparently its due to a old BT junction box before the main socket should have been removed about 6 years ago by sky, when they finally decided to test the line I was having over 500 faults a minute being recorded, hence I am waiting for an engineer which they are sending "free of charge" that's something I never heard sky say before.

Better get back on track still snowing and temperature fluctuating between +0.1 and 0.2 in snowy Dartford.

What are the side roads like mate I've got a shop in Epping?

[Coast]

Snowing quite hard in Benny Hill (Mid Sussex) but nothing laying. I'm going to Bucks tomorrow, well I maybe.....

[stratty]

A good 2-3 inches here - already been out to play

Almost as much in January

....and still lightly snowing......beautiful!

[tight isobar]

Heavy again here now...

[Snow Obsession]

I so need to move up the hill. Carol Kirkwood said that there is 13cm of snow in parts of High Wycombe. We have about 3cm here...

Snowing lightly still

Certainly hammered down for an hour or two last night here in Appledore, but there's little more than 1cm of slush to show for it today.

Shame it didn't go down like this amazing timelapse from the East Coast (US) ...

Judging by train ride in to work my location has done fairly well. About 6-7cm in rear garden.

Possibly was close enough both to decent ppn and temp/DP profile was favourable..

About 250m ASL in the snowy Chiltern's

Wool post more later :-)

[Dexter29]

The non grit side roads as ever are terrible!

The main roads are ok but have snow build up to the side!

Around 11cm here now, apparently Loughton where my other half works only have around 6cm!

[Sussex snowstorm]

Rain all day yesterday ad last night, snowing heavy here now 50p snow flakes and laying on grass roof tops and cars in Brighton !!

hey Coast

Snowing really heavy for an hour now and settling nicely up here on the downs in Telscombe Village , any idea how long it will snow for sir?

[Hotspur62]

Went to bed after MOTD2 last night and we had a bit of wet snow on cars and roofs and that was it in petts Wood/Locksbottom borders.Woke up at 7 this morning and it was snowing and we have current depth of 3.5cms and as at 8.40am it is still snowing very lightly.Be interesting what Biggin Hill/Knockholt way have as i would expect with the elevation they will have double what i have got.Make the most of it though as think it will be pretty much gone by tomorrow!!

[dubmuffin]

Morning all

Not much snow here in lyme

Heading back home in a couple of hours here's a cam if you wanna see where I am

HI Dazz, hope you had a good weekend, there's a bit of snow here for you to come home to (if it hasn't melted by then!)

[Coast]

Sir??!!! Let me go and look at the radar

[Southender]

Looks like some done very well then. Here in Southend.....pish. A cm or so of slush. Missed the boat again. A frustrating winter for this part of Essex.

[Heisenberg]

really heavy snow in Hatfield. Didnt go into work as someone decided to crash into me on Friday so got a bad back....will try to upload a pic later (of the snow not the crash)

[Jason H]

Very localised distribution of snowfall! Bexleyheath has a slushy covering side roads a bit dicey but main roads OK. The A2 at Dartford Heath was quite snowy with the hard shoulder covered. Snowing all the way to the M25. Down at Crossways nothing! Literally nothing, no lying or falling snow. Colleague living in South Woodford reports lots of snow and can't get into work! All very bizzare.

The heavy snow that's been falling over me again from 7am

Is this a streamer or part of the low pressure system?

[rubble79]

Around 4am the snow was pretty heavy and settled everywhere including pavements and roads. This morning that's all cleared and it's thawed a bit on the cars but the current falling snow has recovered those patches on the cars. The roads remain wet.

I know it's annoyingly marginal again but not many winters do we get some falling and laying snow in Dec, Jan and Feb. A few years ago this would have been HUGE. I remember people proudly taking photos of their 1-2cm's a settled snow. How times change! (for the better!)

Well and interesting 12 hours or so, absolute dross up until 10.30 last night, then snow so heavy you could see it laying on puddles, followed by an overnight thaw before more heavy snow this morning between 6 and 7am, never had more than 1.5cm but it was fun. Bit snizzly now looks like it will melt quite quickly this morning unless the Thames can come up with some more.
