[dallas]

going again in greenhithe, glad I'm off

[classylady]

Snowing here in Ninfield this morning.............covering everthing nicely...........makes a March, Monday morning so much more exciting!!......... Have a great day everyone...........

[tight isobar]

Cold,grey no snow of any decript. But lets not forget,the Lps and any worthy convection, will most likely be this afternoon/through tonight....

the cold grey/dry id for where i am. Good stuff if your already seeing snow....

[Charltonkerry]

In Dartford, suddenly the small flakes have doubled in size and now we got Dallas's famous sideway snow, if this keeps up then I might be able to measure something for the snow cup, certainly interesting when the wind blows.

[Tom Jarvis]

Ban you blow the snow over the downs as it seems to be missing me need a big push north.

It is going to be an interesting drive to bluewater today to say the least

[SLEETY]

heavier snow just off the coast now-please hurry up

[fulham snow]

Snowing hard in Epsom and starting to Lay

[Jan_Bromley]

Snowing with big flakes. Looks amazing in this gusty wind

[GoonerGregg77]

Flock of seagulls just flown past my house! Just shouted out to one of em' "What ya doing round here" Seagull replied "Severe weather further south" lol

[Tom Jarvis]

How manny miles further north is the low than predicted??

[nicki myers]

Snowing in Chelmsford, light dusting overnight. :-)

[alexisj9]

The weirdest band of ppn I have ever seen the bottom is moving north the top end is more or less stationary.

[Charltonkerry]

Only just settling on the roads Tom, think I be exaggerating if I said we got a millimetre at the moment. But in my long life I have seen this type of set up before and just sometimes (not saying today is the day) but Dartford and north west Kent gets hammered. If these showers gang up then whose know what might happen, that's the fun of a Thames streamer, but whose know the wind might change then you end up with a Kent slapper and bluewater will be good if you want to see one of them. Sorry only joking all you lovely Kentish ladies.

[bluearmy]

The winds seem to maintain their direction throughout according to the ukmo. That likely means the lines of activity will be sustained.

[Captain Shortwave]

morning, hope everyone is getting their fill of snow.

Current conditions here. Sunny spells and just some scattered cumulus blazing through on the wind. No real sign of any showers at the moment. Still a dusting on the ground from last night though.

It would be very strange to have a nice day considering a very strong easterly wind.

Heavy snow here now, blowing around in the wind, it looks beautiful!

[Paul Sherman]

Dusting of Cat Litter here this morning, but as other East Coast Inhabitants say, that wind is the main feature! Cutting

[cooling climate]

Very disappointing this morning to see the heavy snow to the south so close yet so

far away. Looks like the met have called this right along with snow amounts generally

across east anglia and the southeast.

Could have been so different today with heavy blowing snow and drifting etc,etc etc.

[Paul Ashford]

Is the low much further north than predicted?

[leemondo]

very light snow here, dusting on most things except the road, when is the main band ment to get here?

[tight isobar]

The Channel low, seems keen on progress on northern push,although typicaly the convective,occurrences off east anglia are somewhat holding things back. Thats just the scénario,that can see some burried while others wonder what all the fuss is about!!!.all needs watching...something must give...

[abruzzi spur]

Quite fine snow in Reigate, not particulalry heavy and patchy settling only, despite my current temperature reading of -1.6c and a dewpoint of -6,0c. Can make out Colley Hill through the greyness and it looks quite white up there. Pretty windy, but not enough snow falling at the moment to have much impact.

Dark looking out into the estuary at the moment and another heavier shower starting, could be an interesting day on the Thames Riviera if it keeps this up.

[sarah7meme]

What's the plan for today

Currently snowing -I guess 1-2 cm but hard to tell as drifting

Nw says 35cm tonight !
