London & South East Cold Spell Discussion

[Coast]

is this the correct forum for Essex people ?

Must resist, must resist!

I have to admit I though this was a SE event all over, but reading your comments I think we are seeing something in Eastbourne much heavier than others. Lost the cars in our street now - they are just white blobs in a sea of white!

[gornaldo]

Light to Moderate snow in C London...

No idea If we will get anything substantial though...

Thoughts Anyone??

[Neilsouth]

where's my car gone!?:lol:

oh, under gawd knows how much snow!:lol:

Here i can see the snow sliding down my car window as we have a slow thaw and the snow isn't constant enough , why is it when we are forecasted to get dumped on we get rubbish but when they forecast the odd shower we get loads

[Updraft]

Seems it is still diverting around the east Kent area at the moment, or going over our heads...there has been the odd shower but it;'s so windy they pass over too quick. is the wind supposed to quieten down later?

[Doogle]

A few tiny flakes in the air here.Keeping my fingers crossed for a bit more .

[Flash Elvis]

Still snowing heavy in Rayleigh and getting very dark now quite early...is this the main band just about to dump on me?

Wish is would snow in Dunfermline...they are beating my 2nd team Stenhousemuir 2-0 already

[Michael Fishermans Friend]

hows everybody else fairing in Essex at the mo? - got about 4 inches so far! snowing somewhat lighter now.

are you impying I deserve to be ridiculed for asking a polite question?

Surely not from a moderator?

[Ocean Transit]

Amazing scenes outside... heavy snow and 38mph wind gusts from the East

[SF-02]

Is anyone in south-east London seeing any snow at the moment?

A shower started about 10 minutes ago. Hopefully we can top up our 1/2cm. Is much more coming here or bypassing as usual?

Brixton reporting snow. Very light snow in Ealing west London. Totally unexpected has this thing shifted west in the last hour or something??!

[FatherOf2]

Finally stopped, over 3 hours of mainly moderate falls. Half an hour ago we had 24cm lying snow. Now to watch that lump slowly moving in from the continent and a few showers which will hit us while we wait. If the Atlantic systems manage to break this spell there is a risk of serious flooding to many places. One way or another the weather could be in the news for a while. Talking of showers, it's started snowing again.

Yes East London getting light snow but blowing around in def a more East wind

[Jason H]

Snowing in Bexleyheath. Seems to be pepping up a bit. The wind has certainly increased, howling down the chimney.

[xentrix]

Still snowing lightly but this looks like a large shower possibly an all nighter ??? Actual temp reading 0c slight covering on the ground.

[Coopsy]

The radar for south east and EA looks identical to the lake effect we get over here around the great lakes. Must be the perfect set up of air temp and sea temp...This could keep going for a while and infact reminds me of the set up in 1987

Got about 3 inches in Benfleet coming down like a blizzard

[wee]

Can anyone please tell me are we in Brighton going to see any real amounts of snow today as its doing nothing at the mo and i am getting rather bored and frustrated

[mesocyclone]

Some light flakes, its edging ever closer! Wind is really getting up.

Still absolutely covered outside. With out doubt my best winter i can remember. (I'm in my low 30's)

I would think that you'll get some snow later on this evening. Amounts between 2-5 cm I'd guess. Are you on the Downs or in the city?

[chilli]

Its been on and off light snow since this morning, but just started to come down a bit heavier now..

[hippyhattie]

Much thicker flakes now in herne bay....been snowing on and off all day but not much accumulation...hopefully temeperatures are dipping rapidly now and my snow will stop slowly melting!

[fujita5]

Couple of inches in Clacton so far today, total lying (on undisturbed surfaces) now 7" / 18cm which is the most seen here since 1991 (I think)
