With a temperature in the shade of 40 degrees, how hot would it be in direct sunshine out and about today? I put my thermometer in the garden but the LCD display melted lol.
Heaviest snow of the week has just started falling randomly. Looking at the skies I don't think it's going to last more than 5 minutes though as the sun's shining!
Infact it's stopped whilst I typed this.
Snowed quite heavily here around half an hour ago, enough to redust my car which was completely clear after my drive this afternoon. Still snowing but eased off a bit.
It is an interesting one. The water in our hosepipe on the outside wall of the house is frozen solid, it feels more like a rigid pipe than a hose! I feel it's more to do with the wind and generally slow pace of the snow?
I can't really describe the situation here as any more than a light dusting. Although it seemed heavier at times, I think that's just the wind really. There is at least a dusting on our road surface now which should help anything heavier later lay better.
Very fine snow being blown around in Surbiton for about an hour or so.
I'm going for a nice 8 mile walk today so hoping for something on the ground later to make the walk a bit different.
I believe that red alerts will only be very localised, not blanket for a whole large region.
As an example, 6" snow in a Kent village will cause far less disruption on a Sunday that 2" snow in the centre of London?
