East Anglia & South East Cold Spell Discussion

[BucksSnow]

have about 8cm in high wycombe do you think i will see anymore

[stewfox]

Belting down in the city of london, and a mate said 4" of snow in East Grinstead

8 inches of snow here in North Oxfordshire near Bicester. Been snowing very heavily for 6hrs now.

Biggest snow fall in 30 yrs id guess

There isnt much wind but there are actuall 'drifts' on the pavements havent seen that before

[Flash Elvis]

All Stopped in Rayleigh now....got more than I expected

How is everybody else fairing in Essex?

[SteveCoops]

Ended being a bit rubbish in Westcliff - Seems like it's over now from the radar too I guess I'll be getting the c2c to work in the morning then!

Surrey Hants border and into Berkshire are having the best of the snow at the moment

Where in Surrey are you?

Near Caterham/Purley. Just been out and I can hear dripping. It's still snowing constantly but fairly small flakes. I'd be surprised if this changes over night.

[Captain Sensible]

About 3 cm in Slough. Temp 0.4 C (steady) and dew point has risen to same over last 2 hours. Can't see Slough getting 40 cm.

[spayne]

easing a little here but took a couple of piccies about 20 mins ago!!!

[OldGreggsTundraBoy]

too warm here... melting... it could all be all gone.... my thermometer says 0C but that just because it burried in the 1 or maybe 2 inch snowfall.

this really feels like a last minute downgrade

Before I go to bed can someone update me on what is likely to happen during the rest of tonight and into tomorrow? So far I have had a covering, but not an enormous amount, and it has been snowing lightly now for 90 mins.

Btw, my location is Sunbury near Heathrow

[AtlanticFlamethrower]

South Woodham Ferrers didn't get the sleet phase but we got a long snizzle phase. Heavy snizzle for about 30 minutes, then another 20 minutes of small snow and 10 minutes of proper snow... and then it stopped.

Total of 1 cm so presumably further north where it's colder they'll get about 2-4 cm if the PPN lasts there as long as here with same intensity.

[Helvellyn]

Everything white here in Danbury now... mod snow

you were right.. looks like it's pepped up a bit.

[Hurricane Debby]

Ive been in heaven ! Please don't let it stop

Thats me!

I can confirm its just got heavier, been constant since 6pm although a lot of periods of light snow too. A good 5" at last look.

Off to bed soon. Will be up early to play in the snow!

Night all and good luck.

Here's a quick picture from Bounds Green in North London. It's been snowing here since 22.15, always fairly moderately but steadily and so far we've built up about 3-5cm as the snow began settling instantly on the ice-cold ground. So far in that time the only thing that's been past the house have been some foxes. When the picture was taken the flakes were a bit small and weedy but as I type things have perked up again and there are nice big flakes briskly falling to the ground.

As with all things it looks a bit more impressive in real life than in the picture .

[Guest archiesmummy]

Hi all

we have had approx 1 and a half inches fallen since 2300....slowing down now

Chigwell Essex

[Ocean Transit]

50p flakes currently.

Although the end of this band is near, later today looks interesting. Who cares about 40cm

[sgrech]

Finally some snow in Chelmsford (Broomfield). It is light but at least it is something.

[East Herts Snow]

Just started to snow here in Buntingford, North East Herts.

[Hurricane Debby]

its still going - fantastic !! I love the snow...it brings people together x

[john mac]

Snowing heavily still here in Waltham Abbey have got about an inch so far

[Hurricane Debby]

i think i have got to go out again !!

[lizzieloo202]

easing a little here but took a couple of piccies about 20 mins ago!!!

Where's that?

[john w]

Well here now still 12-13cm....and thats it as now stopped, cant complain

Looking at radar we may get a bit more (Bracknell) but interesting as tomorrow will probably also bring some.

[Buzzit]

I am in Westbourne Grove...Strange coincidence, my sister lives in Twickers, is my niece gonna have a wonderful surprise tomorrow?

I have currently got about 3/4 of a cm here in Notting Hill, would be a lot more if it hadn't turned sleety, but it is trying to fall properly again, with some big flakes mixed in, but the latest radar is still a bit iffy. What we need is some convection from the Thames.

Very strange Thanks for the info !

Just started a bit of sleet in twickers but enough ground snow that I dont think will matter to much,

the new pcp band just exiting the channel looks good for here so Im sure your niece will wake up to

a layer of snow with a reasonable depth...

Cheers

*** strike that back to snow already ***
