Well to correct my statement....

Good to hear for everyone south of you :-)

[Andy H]

Few flakes about half an hour ago, now sleet

[Hodgheg]

Snow keeps on and off here in Sutton. My friends in Scandinavia and Russia are taking the jaffa cakes out of me :(. I can't help being british and excited by our constant knife edge will it or won't it weather.

[SMU]

Great radar returns moving south ( increasing over peterborough etc at 2115 - 2145

will change the PPN to snow for many

as for greenhithe im going for a remeasurement on height

i think its sub sea level.- only place to be -Meters 

anyway.... Have fun

[snowbob]

Settling curb side now and patchy bits of pavement

only very slight dusting

but still good as I thought it had warmed up too much

[snowray]

Erm nothing here!

[snowbob]

If it snows like this all night I may get 1cm

[pegg24]

Snowing coming down heavier now and stating to settle in northamptonshire.

Use to live there and that bit of extra elevation can make a difference.

Its a transitional period...sleet/wet snow morphing more in the snow camp later..with heavier precipitation following in!

I'm with you on that it is turning increasingly to snow here...watching the lamppost like a hawk.

I ran upstairs

[80sWeather]

Just seen two flakes in the lampost light 

[blueballs]

Right...I'm putting my chimney sweeping hoover and dyson on to try and suck it down from Peterborough.

[Gowon]

I've just managed to get my lazy butt up to do a snow check and can now confirm it has been snowing with a slight dusting on pavements and cars

[mike Meehan]

Slight snow at Watford, settling in patches in the rear garden but no more than a dusting and still above freezing.

[Ben Lewis]

Heavyish but extremely wet snow falling. Making everywhere soaked. 

My height is 400ft, wasn't expecting it to be so wet. 

The air needs to get a lot colder for the METS 2/3 cm to materialise 

[paget]

Temps 

0.7 dp -0.8 

Its showing rain on radar, nothing yet though!

Can definitely hear something on the conservatory roof but it's probably just rain. Or a nocturnal tapdancing pigeon. Nothing visible on lamppost-dar.

[snowbob]

Settling nicely now

very thin like icing sugar but holding well

[SMU]

Rain / sleet on the turn in bexleyheath

 

flakes starting to appear- main band radar return on 10pm increased again-

making a B line for South essex & NW kent !!!

[Sparky68]

Been looking at this lampost so long i would recognise it before my own kids!

[weathergeek]

Sleety or wet snow here near Epsom in Surrey!! Starting to settle on cars and roads, hoping ppn keeps up as we head into the colder night......!!!!x

[Lampostwatcher]

been snowing here moderately 20 p size to 5 p flakes for the last 45 mins but still not settling having looked at the latest radar the bigger heavy clump should be reaching London soon this is when I should imagin the settling should start temp at this moment 1.1c dew 0.5c colder enough for snow
