It's almost gone from gillingham. Looking at radar I wonder if that chunk out on the Atlantic will make it in and across tonight.

[BLUNT]

NW Weather radar doesnt seem to be working correctly nor the site

Thanks all........ a few minutes of inconvenience can stop a lifetime of grief.

It's been an impressive day, but purely from experience in these kind of set ups I thoroughly expect a significant thaw throughout tomorrow.

[yamkin]

Well the snow has finally stopped in Bromley. I've totalled 13cm on an untouched bin.

Drove to Farningham where totals were 15-20cm. 3 inches fell on my car in 3 hours!

Main roads between bromley and the A20 are clear for tomorrow's commute (for those interested). Chislehurst hill has been treated and had nothing on it at 18.30. I'm traveling to bexleyheath for a 7am start, and I imagine the biggest problem will be the ice.

Fantastic totals. Deepest since 2010.

Better look out of your window because the ppn which was moving away from our areas has actually pushed back and the snow is getting heavy again

[southbank]

It's not lightning, thundersnow is RARE. So rare that Mr Weather himself Jim Cantore goes nuts if he hears and sees it!!

No lightning around!

because of the snow and cloud would the sparks from the trains going over the rail be reflected back

[rubble79]

Moderate snow again. Odd but very welcome.

No that looks to slide just to our south tomorrow eve. A slight nudge north though and we are on for an unexpected top up.

[CrimsonSunset]

Today really was the main event, still lightly snowing after 10-12 hours of heavy snow! Around 6 inches everywhere. Is there more on the way? For once I'm kind of hoping it eases as I need to fly tomorrow night...

[msx999]

Snowing heaviest its been today now in w London

[David P]

12 hours solid and still coming down. Amazing day!

[surrey slush]

Started snizzling again here in Chertsey in the far nw, a band formed on the radar right overhead, and has now joined with the London mass?? Been an odd day, been right on the margin, but it just hasn't stopped.

[Met4Cast]

How long will this snow be on the ground for? I'm hoping at least a few days!

[Helvellyn]

just measured 8.5cm.

[SMU]

Another slightly heavier burst has developed over Purley / croydon that sort of area- worth maybe worth another 1cm-

Still going here- 10cm

Bet you're chuffed with that mate!

[rubble79]

Close up of the radar and there's been very slight intensification which is why I've got moderate snow suddenly.

[BlizzardBelle]

Errrrm v heavy in Wandsworth. WTF. LOVING it. Am seated on the only chair in the house with a lamp post view!!

[john mac]

Still going here best part of 6inches

[Biensie]

Hi all,

Yesterday. there were 'joke' photos being posted of a road dug out from VERY deep snow. I have gone back but it is taking too long to find one. If anyone can post one or tell me where to find one, I'll be grateful. Thanks

I've noticed that other spots have also developed - just the norm or something else at work?

Time for a silly question, BB...Why have you only got one chair?

[leemondo]

still snowing here, light but still snow!

[Sussex Jules]

Well I have managed a respectable 10cm today well chuffed with that certainly more than I expected. Had a great day throwing snowballs for the dogs even if they did decide to mess up all my snowcover. Roads are pretty bad out so anyone driving please be careful.

[Heretic]

Wow started to pep up again here. What a crazy day!
