Probably about 2 to 3cms at Watford, slightly above freezing, still snowing but not so heavy as it has been - the problem is that with it being so sticky it has gunged up the tv satellite dish which is facing into wind and can't get any programs on it.

A bit more to come according to the satellite.

Just down the road from you Mike and its suprising how little has settled given its been snowing for almost 9 hours in this area now.

Just marking 7.2 against your name on my hand written chart Jo, I'll have you know, and expecting a lovely brown envelope on its way to me now. That is 17.2 isnt it, my eyes are terrible!

Tom.

I have just been out with the measuring stick, 5cms now. Am on the last of the Wine then will have to crash. After last night and tonight I think most of my blood has been turned into Alcohol.

Actually stating to settle on pavements, but it will need a good hour at this thickness to cover

[alexisj9]

[Tom Montalbano]

The Radar returns are amazing. Sudden brighter colours popping up which of course means thicker Snow. I would hate to be at the Met Office tonight. What a nightmare for them. Snow is notoriously hard to predict but most people seem to think that they should know anyway. Bless 'em.

Took a good long drive this evening. From Reading to Christmas Common around 7pm, a bit lying up there and in Stokenchurch by then but only a covering. Drove through High Wycombe and up to Amersham, then over to Dunstable. Some decent stuff coming down by that point. Then I drove back down the M1/M25/M40 to HIgh Wycombe again and it was realy coming down! Proper big flakes. Driving down the big hill on the A4010 there was a tanker stuck in the snow. Thence up to Stokenchurch again, by which time I reckomn there was a good 3-4 inches. Driving back towards Nettlebed I encountered near-blizzard conditions; so much so, that I had to drive with dipped headlights as the snow was blinding on full beams. A small covering in Henley, and now back in Reading where the cars are covered, but nothing else. Still, the front of my car has a large amount of snow stuck to it to testitfy to what I saw!

So much for "patchy snow" re the met more like widespread with varying amounts I'm in zone2of London right now and really thought I was in for a slush fest this is the second most amount of snow I've seen this winter (though it's not hard) lol

We could, but not tonight, White Handbags would get lost in Snow. A bit like my Daughters mate who on a Hen wknd in Barcelona buried her Handbag then forgot where it was. She lost Hundreds of pounds. ROFL.

[SMU]

[Tom Montalbano]

Perhaps 1cm here. Everything nicely covered

Hi Jan,

You've probably got this heavy stuff now too, have you?

I wonder how Tilly is doing?

Cheers,

Tom.
