Can already hear it dripping and thawing out there.

Is that the fog already rolling back in?

I wonder how many schools will be closed tomorrow here in the SE. No one has mentioned anything about 'breaking out the sledges' yet

My daughter works in a local primary school and has been emailed this evening to say a decision will be made in the morning. 

With the amount we have, and with it still falling, something tells me it will be shut tomorrow!

Been snowing again here in Locksbottom last 10 mins even though not showing on radar.Something odd going on here?not complaining though

[matty40s]

Dp at 1.1.

0.5 rise in an hour 

Ridiculous. Just back from a drive. Had to see the madness with my own eyes. Snow line starts at Hadleigh on the A13. All points east it’s Rain. 5 bloody miles is all it takes.

Really?! Maybe it's just a medway thing, although your altitude is good. We're only 25m higher than you here in the weald, and it's icy and silent. 

Final tally here is towards 4 inches. Will have better idea tomorrow. One car had 3 inches, the other 4... 

Drove a few miles East towards lamberhurst on a rescue mission and everything is just blanketed. Looked like they had 6 inches in places.

Heavy PPN falling again in Central London

In my view the whole system is moving NNE so its not going to suddenly turn around and head SSE is it? I get what your saying about the wrap around but is been doing that since 5pm. It gives the impression of moving back south but the whole lot is moving NNE. 

Agree with that

the met office website rainfall charts are looking fairly accurate with their predictions of where this is going

There are two main risks. The first is for this afternoon / early evening mainly for inland Kent / eastern London, 3-8cm possible fairly widely. A localized 12-15cm possible on the tops of the Kent hills. A possibility the heavy stuff will reach central London - atm on the edge so probs near 5050. The immediate coast will keep rain and near to the coast a mix with snow under the main core. As winds veer NW later this may allow some snow on coast.

Another development early hours into Essex / north London with similar pattern of snowfall i.e. scattered accumulation on coast with general 3-8cm inland & localized 10cm+ likely. This may reach central East Anglia / Cambridge early hours producing 2-5cm. Locally up to 15cm may fall in a narrow corridor in Essex / Herfordshire.

 

 

 

Very pleased with this

[IanT]

Yes - very hard to see what might shift the whole system southwards no. I’ll be happy to be proved wrong!

So you said!

Actually - it’s a decent effort, well done.

Cheers!

I was in a rush so couldn't give a full prognosis

- Really happy to see you all getting some snow.

Bit underwhelming here but was always going to be on the cusp, slight dusting in places but nothing special.

Indeed, just looked at the lampost. PPN picking up from a NW direction.

[80sWeather]

Really great to see all the pictures on here of the snow you have.

I feel very grateful that here in South Cambs it’s still coming down nicely.

About 3 inches of snow in Upminster, ENE London near M25

Just drove through it. Snow has just covered the grit and cars are struggling 

[minus10]

7cm here ...still snowing..

[Scandinavian High.]

This evening with Christmas lights on.

 

 

[Sno' problem]

It looks like it's beginning to fade and head into the North Sea. I personally have done very well, but I feel for those who missed out.

It does make a nice change for London to get a pasting though.

[Severe Siberian icy blast]

My punch is the pivot happens between bishops stortford and royston. Looking at radar movement of the low pressure system. 

 

[SilentSnow]

Snowfall is petering out here now. Amazed and delighted with the 10cm /4 inch accumulation however.
