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 

They now state 4cm the slipped that into the warning sneeky

We have a light dusting but i didnt see it falling,i saw snow on the ground in Newcastle yesterday and today and on the way home saw an impressive hailstorm just have not seen snow falling yet will keep checking outside.

[paget]

I'm starting to wish we had a nicer lamppost to watch, one of those nice old fashioned ones! 

[Andy H]

Looking at the radar all looks good, but don't be fooled, I am right in the middle of that, and had a few flakes, bit of sleet, and now nothing 

[lawrenk]

Nothing to report here.

Other than that my wife's getting fed up of me going out into the back garden every five minutes to make sure that nothing is still happening.

[tight isobar]

Moderate complete snow. ..slush sheen appearing on cars etc!

[Ruby000]

The back garden lampost shows chunky rain but the one the front shows fine SNOW 

Temp 2.5

Feels like zero

Dew point 1oC

[Southender]

Naff all but cloud here at the mouth of Mother Thames. To be expected, too far East. Hope some of you get a dusting of the white stuff.

[Rich44]

Just come out with friends Mark Watson gig in Norwich and snowing here, wet everywhere but gone from sleet to grains to flakes so here's hoping for overnight a good covering for Norfolk especially North Norfolk a streamer up the Glaven Valley would be nice lol.

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

We must be at risk of lamppost fatigue......

Edit just seen three more flakes!

Soaking wet outside, big wet snowflakes falling. Apart from seeing the flakes it looks like a normal wet night.... Oh well!

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

Raining in Canary Wharf...reckon you'll be rain too at that height 

[Met4Cast]

Sod all here so far - Right on the edge of the PPN band but it doesn't seem to actually be moving anywhere

[TheGate]

Snowing quite well up here. Road is fully covered after about 1 hour of snow.

Temperature has crept up to 0.9c from 0.6c, but doesn't seem to have turned the snow to sleet/rain. Looking forward to a few more hours of this.

[snowblues]

Steady sleet now and some 20p fluffy flakes in the mix.Couple of cm tonight would be great after the last few  snowless winters.

[jamie82]

Think I saw a few snowflakes in the lamp post. Either that or I need to clean my windows!!

Been outside for a closer inspection, it seems that despite the lightness of the snow, not every flake is disappearing on impact with the ground. There some evidence of settling. Having just this second watched the weather forecast, not keen on the "petering out" phrase
