BAck to icy rain here

[Laurence Hill]

Anyone have any idea how much longer this is likely to last?

[throwoff]

Starting to settle a few miles north in Reigate... Nothing significant though...

Thanks for the update. Best get some sleep then hate flying so much!

[Jo S]

still really fine flakes here but all gold platted,as ive the best snow

[dallas]

50p flakes ( or the big ones )

are often milder wedges where snowflakes have blended together- & 50p flakes can be in deformation zones where strong updrafts in the cloud send them up & down until they are to large to float anymore

STELLA DENTRITES!!

best part of 1cm in the last 20 mins-- thats new england rates lol

Hopefully that stuff out in the channel will keep taking the its current track Steve

[john mac]

And it still keeps falling!!!

[danm]

Snow really pepping up, much heavier again with the 50p flakes. We've got about 3cm's lying at the moment, far better than I was expecting this afternoon when it was soaking wet outside!

[ChartViewer]

OMG Fantastic starting even here!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[03jtrickey]

Moderately heavy wet snow in Oxford...the heaviest that I've seen so far this year.

[steveinsussex]

Rain again, effin great, unbelievable

[tasty_snacks]

The chunky monkies have arrived in SE15 now. Putting down roots on top of the fine slush layer we have had since 10pm. Nice to see, since I missed the Jan 17/18th event.

Whats happened is the low in the channel has just lifted a tad NE probably like forecast & moved the convergence slightly east-

that does bring milder air NE- or rather slightly more marginal- hence some of the southern contingent seeing rain- however at the moment we are in the snow zone.

Heavy snow persists, one great advantage can no longer see Essex! Only joking my wife's an Essex girl!

Ummm, Men do?? lol

[mpkio2]

Well its been snowing since 9:30pm here in Camden Town, Central London. Temp dropped quickly and snow has been falling slowly and now its coming down fast and heavy.

Even in places where rain has fallen, some snow is starting to settle. However I don't think we'll have a full covering; hopefully I'm wrong though.

At least we got something out of this.

[Biggin]

OMG Fantastic starting even here!!!!!!!!!!!!!
