[Louby]

Had reasonibly heavy snow from about half 6 til half 7, settled on cars and started to settle on grass, stop now though

[mackerel sky]

Snowing lightly in Rushden since about 7.30pm with the odd moderate burst thrown in. Currently 1C. Tries to stick in the slightly heavier bursts.

[xxsnowflakexx]

Light snow since about 4pm here in Brighton. Some large flakes, settled on cars, roofs etc. only. Lovely!

[coldfingers]

Light snow showers since 5:30pm. Not settling but just wonderful to see my first snow of the winter.

Time now 9:30pm and paths starting to feel slippery as temp now down to 0.5C and quite a windchill.

Really surprised to see it snow as all that was forecast for the coast here was rain or sleet at best.

Still a MILD 2.7c with the odd spot of rain and ocassional sleet shower.

Ugh,i want snow :cry:

[fine wine]

Acccording to the NW radar there is wedge of sleet / rain running through the midlands hence the sleet / rain in Shropshire.

[Tom Quintavalle]

Light intermittent snow between 5.30 & 7.30 p.m. while at work in Croydon.

Wasn`t heavy enough to settle, mind you it did well to make it to ground level & get through the warmer layers of central Croydons` microclimate.

Regards,

Tom.

[wallopweather]

finally after a long wait Sleet / Snow steady but wet. Hoping it carries on towards snow

[I can't believe it's not better]

My Atari can't handle the falling snow and the music. This must be for everyone in the south east with a modern computer

[Guest Mr_S]

3 heavy snow showers in medway today.. one turning to light/moderate snowfall giving a covering on cars of roughly 15cm & dusting to grass.

now any laying slow has an ice base to it - oh wut fun for driving tomorrow

[Kentish Man]

On driving from SW of Maidstone (35m asl) to Herne Bay yesterday leaving just before 6PM temps were 0C and moderate snow was falling and beginning to settle. On reaching the M20 this turned sleety/drizzly for a short period but on climbing Detling Hill (200m asl) in the North Downs the temp fell to -1C and all precip was snow. Conditions were quite bad and it didnt surprise me to find on my return journey (around 10pm) the A249 Detling Hill road had been closed.

Temps rose to 0C on the M2 with snow showers. At Herne Bay on the coast temps were 1C and there was no lying snow. However on returning home I diverted towards Canterbury where on the hill a few miles to the east of the city there was quite a decent accumulation of lying snow. As I filled my car up, in the icy wind it felt quite bitter.

This morning there is a general but thin covering here in Maidstone as I write this but I suspect it will disappear quickly
