Optimistic 10cms there milly? Looks about 5/6cms

I'm always optimistic.

I'll go and measure again.

Okay, will you give me 8.5cm?

[NO LONGER POSTING]

Has winter finally coming to an end? Thats what some of the models are suggesting I for one am very happy with winter 2012/1013 got some great snow falls and snow falling now. But I am looking forward to spring and summer. Roll on the thunderstorms!

[MKN]

Yea go on then lol. Looks good anyway. Is it still snowing? The radar returns further south seem to be quite heavy atm.

[alexisj9]

that's what I mean't it's moderate snow but there's lots of it (heavy to me), remember I live up in Shirley near Yamkin so it's always heavier here.

Push some over just a tad lol.

Hi just managed to escape from my control room and look outside...yes its snowing still in Docklands....

[alexisj9]

Looks like it's going to stop soon now looking at radar, nothing new by the thames, was hoping it would stream.

[Tom Montalbano]

Btw, just started snowing again, after lull!

Had around 2 cms laying at 3 am lat night!

5 min updates and precip type. Should be useful for you guys today. Its free btw

[blackprince]

Just looked again its stopped lol....no more snow reports lol

[Lauren]

I am at work Tom. Could you drop me a PM so that I remember to do it when I get home? Ta.

[Steve C]

Looking decidedly sleety now here. Snow melting quickly on the roof tops, although whether that's due to poor insulation in the business premises, I'm not sure.

[chilly milly]

Yea go on then lol. Looks good anyway. Is it still snowing? The radar returns further south seem to be quite heavy atm.

Yep still snowing. Light fall, moderate size flakes.

[Paul Sherman]

Should have measured last night really but thats the chance you take when you have not had 3-4 days of hard frosts before a snow event, the ground underneath is simply too warm and the melting is quicker than the accumulation.

Stick me down for 0.5cm Tom, very poor effort in a strange old winter really!

Not long for Spring now!

[snowblues]

A whopping 3cm for me Tom but is still snowing lightly,might be able to add a further 1mm at the end of the day:)

[Gowon]

Push some over just a tad lol.

sorry, that's out of my control.

still the snow falls here.

[warrenb]

Seems to be brightening up here in Tonbridge with the snow looking rather sleety and almost stopped anyway. Snow that was on the ground is melting as you would expect, us being in the bottom of the medway valley

[alexisj9]

sorry, that's out of my control.

still the snow falls here.

It falls here but need the landing type lol, just to low I guess.

[ryan93]

Stopped here now was nice while it lasted didn't expect anything to fall lol

[Nick F]

2cm tops Tom.

Looking at the 06z don't think a Thames Snow Streamer will set up today unfortunately, despite ENE wind 500mb cold pooling looks rather weak and flat. Plus GFS and the ever optimistic NAE lighten the precip and turning it back to sleet/rain for all this afternoon as temps recover.

Shhh the 6z is wrong.

Well we can dream lol.

- Nah you can have it - Pi$$ing it down with rain now and a re-measure shows 0.4cm just now.

Hope you win it and I go out to the eventual winner
