South East and East Anglia Regional Discussion 11th March 2013

[Paul Sherman]

Well thats a first for me.

Snow sliding off the conservatory is leading to the formation of huuuge Icicles. Never seen these form in the daytime before let alone in March!!

Temperature at 8am was -0.9c and it is now plummeting even further!

[Chris101]

2" in Colchester?

WTF?!

Lol, shall i go and measure one of my drifts, the shower train has only just got there aswell, i was under it for 2 hours and only managed an inch, or about 8cms in the drifts that have built up.

[Ruthie]

hi from city of London, hefty snow shower here blowing around eagerly in the wind. Cant see the sky scrapers from here.

[Frostbite80]

I'm in exactly the same boat lol

i wouldn't mind but we will be lucky to see a flake all day and this is the last chance saloon for snow until next winter IMO! What a load of tosh lol by the way all getting snow enjoy and make a snow ball for me ay!

[abruzzi spur]

Briefly stopped, sky lightened for a moment, wind died, but now it is coming down good and proper again, big flakes too.

[jodaw84]

Isn't the heaviest stuff from the low coming later?

[Neilsouth]

No snow at all!

wtf... Radar lies!

[nanu]

Gurnsey shall turn to snow soon, if Jersey has then you can bet any money Gurnsey is probably a matter of an hour or so away from heavy snow.,

The front will pivot around them, so there is certainly a chance for a record March fall in the channel Islands I'd have thought, 6-8 inches quite widely by 12z Tuesday IMO.

acually im questioning that website and its webcam because this one shows guernsey airport at a standstill http://www.camscape.com/Europe/United%20Kingdom/Channel%20Islands/Guernsey-Airport-and-Weather-32290.php

[Captain Shortwave]

Nothing here this morning, not even looking like it's going to snow. Just hazy sunshine as the edge of the cloudsheet from the front to the south grazes us.

[Mark Neal.]

Just very cold here this morning, windchill of -6c. Dry though and the sun just came out for a few seconds. Those showers are packing a punch in Essex, perhaps odd chance of them getting here to give a flurry?

[Kentspur]

Dam looking at the radar on rain today looks like the shower train is heading just west of me into inner south east London coming from North East London/Essex/Suffolk sun just came out melted our lovely layer it needs to do one!

[Tom Montalbano]

Ok, how about a measurement at 9.00 p.m. tonight (Half-Time), just in case you get some melting (You might have had already of course or none at all. Get to the point!) And then a final measurement at some point tomorrow morning, after snow finally clears, if its still about. Usual rules, only cms, no Kentimetres, TOWIEmetres (orange snow, in other words), Londonometres.

Just good old cms, please!

Blizzard here in the City of London - Can't see Canary Wharf from my window as all I can see is snow. The flakes are getting bigger and it's getting darker too.

[Mark Neal.]

Good covering of snow @ University of Anglia...

[weathertoski]

Moderate flurry now in Twick

[Paul Sherman]

Yes amazingly as Kentspur just said, the main shower train looks like it is London Bound, could be in the dry slot here in SE Essex, the main frontal band to the south is starting to pivot on its North Eastern Side which could become interesting this afternoon along the Thames Estuary and North Kent though for those missing out now!

[Coast]

A break in proceedings here in Benny Hill, more on it's way though

[Whereisthesnow?]

You wouldn't even known it had snowed here. A few remnants of snow on the grass. Good to see it coming down. Anymore due? I see the City of London is being plastered.

[TheGate]

Thick, heavy, blowing snow. -1.4c. Heaviest of the winter so far.

[> mark]

Nowt in Buckinghamshire again, guess it will stay this way ....... bl**dy cold tho!

[jamesslater93]

Got about 1cm at most here, with various intensities of very small flakes.

Regarding Guernsey, here are a load of webcams: http://www.camscape.com/view/34033

[NO LONGER POSTING]

[nanu]

We had a 15 minute blizzard, now lovely sunshine. I have a feeling that might be our lot for today. Jersey looks the place to be right now.

[capt.snowman]

Down in worthing on the coast barely had any snow. Very light and has now stopped completely. Thought we were the place to be for this lot!
