South East & East Anglia Regional Discussion 23rd March 2013

[A Wintry Mix]

Blizzard in Herne Bay, at least an inch already laid and coming down heavy and fast

It might be snowing but you have'nt got a blizzard!

nearly stopped here now and temp on the rise 1.4c

[tadpole]

Snowing here for a while, settled on everything except the roads and pavements. Seems to be mainly horizontal from the east.

Off out to the theatre tonight so if it could stop by then I'd be grateful.

[Coast]

Too 'warm' currently on the South coast:

[BLUNT]

Just light almost light drizzle but snow format in it

[Shunter]

About 3hours of moderate snow here but not settled anywhere yet !

[JennyJane1]

Happy B'day, Gary...the Beccles-Yarmouth-Lowestaaft triangle has struck again! Boo! Hiss!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GARY

Don't know if i'm clutching at straws but hopeful as the sky here is sort of pinky/whity/greyey colour

snow cloud cover?

[nanu]

Graphics showing it much drier tomorrow now.

do you believe that?? to be honest they have been pretty clueless so far for our corner on this event.. got rest of country almost bang on!! but us.. looks like to me they are just looking out of the window then update their forecasts,

[Tom Montalbano]

Been snowing lightly in SE25 since 7am when I got up, settling only on grass/soil and roofs. Now seems to be getting heavier with bigger flakes.

ECM, HIRLAM and UKMO suggesting the snow will ease and drift north this afternoon, tending to dry up south of the Thames.

Probably the same here Nick, down the road in SE20 then, only just got up. Has settled on grass, cars and roofs, likewise, must say didnt expect this.

Regards,

Tom.

Happy B'day, Gary...the Beccles-Yarmouth-Lowestaaft triangle has struck again! Boo! Hiss!

Dry as a bone here ooooh what a supprise, a constant hole in the ppn as is ALWAYS the case! @#$! I'm fed up with this crap area.

[Jimmyh]

It's snowing here and setting. GFS model spot on yet again on snow result

Yams where is that

[Snowman.]

TEMP WHY U NO DROP?

[Mark Neal.]

Have 2cm on grass. Fences and roofs. Some pavements also covered but roads wet from past rain are clear. Quite poor really from the Met Office after going for heavy snow for 6am-3pm for last 2 days it never really got going, they missed last Sundays action too. Never mind, been a good winter here for snow and still very light snow falling.

[Methuselah]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GARY

Don't know if i'm clutching at straws but hopeful as the sky here is sort of pinky/whity/greyey colour

snow cloud cover?

We can only hope!

[Essex Chelle]

Totally hacked off with this sort of weather I'm all for snow if its actually gonna impress but this sort of drivvle annoys me - another couple days of no earning money - I could tolerate if it meant a proper snow day but totalling up near on 6 weeks of no income from dec to date is no joke!!!! Enjoy those who have proper snow though and sympathy to those whom also lose money on days like this!

[Easily sled]

Places literally 5 miles away reporting lying snow yet west London just rain and very light sleety mix, Any hope at all for us snowless west Londoners?

[Captain Shortwave]

Just back from the shop, there was a few graupel pellets in the grass. Snow rate, 1 flake per hour (give or take 6 hours )

Happy birthday Gary

[Jason T]

Good Morning all, Happy Birthday Gary.... Well there was no snow around at 2 am, By 6am everything well covered, and still coming down. So from AL3 TO EN11 is all white. Finish work at 12.00. Local radio weather stating heavier around midday on-wards. Gawd might have to shut early and bugger off. Take care folks and enjoy your day.

[all weather]

Woke up to a nice covering here. Went to bed at midnight and it was raining.

It was quite heavy earlier but now is less intense therefore some of the lighter coverings are fading.

[natster]

Moderate snow in Plumstead. Settled everywhere even roads.

[yamkin]

Yams where is that

Are you referring to the pics.................Just ramping pics

Still snowing heavy here.

I can confirm the MetO chief is reviewing events and will send out updates very soon. Looks like more snow to come

[snowydayz]

A white world here in Edgware, turning more sleety now. I fear ice will be a problem later

[hippyhattie]

Still snowing moderately in Herne Bay

[Heisenberg]

More or less stopped now? I thought this was in for most of the day? Anyone

[Floatylight]

Happy birthday Gary.

[icy toes]

Morning, everyone - what a winter wonderland this morning. Currently have about two inches here and it's still snowing - they're only tiny flakes of snow but quite heavy!
