Guess what folks, you’ll never believe it........it’s still chuffing raining! 

[BeazleyBlizzard]

On my journey across the Surrey hills this morning from Bordon to Horsham, Hindhead and Haslemere were the only places to have any light dusting of snow on the cars and grass. Was good just to be driving through the snow to be honest.  Seems for now we are clutching at the tiniest of winter straws.  Still early on in the season with plenty of opportunity ahead though.

Just taken a walk round the block - as you can see there's a slushy covering. Usually the wooded landscaping here is pretty in the snow but it's been washed off the twigs and branches already. Apart from the snow what's conspicuous is widespread waterlogging, the ground is really sodden here atm

[Bogman]

Enjoy the white stuff peeps. Lucky buggers.

[Matty88]

It's turned wet here in Ely but no snow to report, just spots of rain unfortunetely. Looks like further inland and with elevation it is snow though... maybe with any heavier PPN? 

[Bazza118]

We had bout 2cms in the garden but having walked up the hill to Old Coulsdon and there is around 3-4cm's up there (about the same as Nick F and about the same elevation as well just a couple of miles away). This then turned to sleet and now rain. it's  a bit of a slushfest out there at the moment. It does at least count as my first lying snow of winter though. hopefully everyone will get some before winter is out.

[Nick F]

Built a quick small snowman with son, as the snow is melting

[Great Plum]

A colleague on Horley has just reported snow...

[Southender]

Congrats to those of you up hills that have some of the white stuff. Here in Southend I am pleased to report I can see chinks of blue sky and finally after nearly three days the incessant rain streamer is stopping. Good news for those of you further South West of me, it’s coming to an end as the wind is beginning to edge more Northerly!

If only this was all snow. We'd probably have a foot!....fine margins and all that.

Anyhow, nice to see some white stuff for a lucky few in the region, get out and enjoy it quick!!

Will be nice to have a few dry days ahead now, perhaps even a frost or two. Might even see that orange looking ball in the sky at some point.
