snowing quite hard here did not have much over night still not settling on the roads though whicj is good but it won't be long till it does if it keeps up like this.

[whitespike]

Very fine snow blowing about in the wind here in Bexhill. Very cold in the wind.Have a covering on the grass but roads are still clear.

[Jan_Bromley]

Thanks Paul.

Must be getting something from the Estuary. Bromley does well in that set up. Very localised as Catford only 4 miles away and it's dry

[utdman_67]

Nothing just now up the road from you here,but curtain twitching every few mins......when i`m not radar watching here!

[loopydreamer]

Blizzard here!!!!! Haven't seen anything like this for awhile

[tight isobar]

Still no precip, of any.there are signs of banded showers, but as again due to the nature of the beast some will not expérience. Just simply watch and wait...

[Ali1977]

Is it snowing at gatwick does anyone know. Heading there today before heading on hold tomorrow?

[Charltonkerry]

Snowing Dartford, nice 20p size flakes, beginning to accumulate an all surface, snow blowing around so depth measurement could be tricky.

[Stevieray1]

I really wish the woman on the BBC would stop saying the snow is not going to settle until this eve. My son's taxi has just rang to say his car was sliding over the road and its not safe to drive (he goes to a soecial needs school...im not lazy!!) but because of the BBC forecast ive sent my daughter off to college on the bus. Worried now

BBC forecasters haven't exactly covered themselves in glory though the last few days,only a couple of days ago according to them no parts of the country would experience disruptive snow!

[SMU]

Snowing here in DA6 & getting heavier!

[Southender]

Eddie Snizzard of epic proportions now in Southend
