Will do a culverstone run-

It's chaos around here; lots of roads have abandoned cars already - and we only got (so far) max three inches.

[fulham snow]

A good 50mm of snow here in Epsom downs,looks a bit skerry now but was great to see it come down 

[Hurricane Debby]

Blimey, the snow is one thing but the winds are another !! It's blowing a hooley here !

[Delka]

Hopefully the morning event brings me something.. didn't even get sleet here, The Wash managed to keep it as all rain until it cleared

Don't worry, everywhere in Norfolk got sleet and I didn't even get that up in my little corner of doom..

Well it was great too see snow again and was a fantastic few hours waiting and watching to see if it would actually snow and lay .Its currently stopped snowing now , it laid really well to start with but now I can hear the dreaded Drip Drip Drip .Im more concerned about the morning rush hour now , once the skies clear the temps drop it's going to all freeze and it's going to be treacherous out there .Stay safe people x

Do we know what time snow is expected for the SE tomorrow and whether totals might be similar to today or more? 

[VillagePlank]

Stopped snowing in Rochester, wind is picking up. As of yet, no thawing ...

[southbank]

Was fun , but compared to the Thames streamer 03 , thunder snow 04 , Feb 1st 09 , Dec 1st & 19th 2010 , Jan 13 was a bit like hunting down the side of sofa looking for loose change.

 

im lucky to of been old enough to remember '78 , the classic 80's winter and 91

Somewhere between 9am to midday. Models don't agree, and we can't estimate it until we see the mesoscale feature appear on the radar.

Who else is in the NO SNOW club?

Nothing but cold rain!

Just spoke to someone from the environment agency at Wells-next-the-sea and they are expecting flooding on par with December 2013.

I love snow but hate northerly winds that deliver nothing but coastal devastation to this area.

Hunstanton didn't fair well yesterday let alone tomorrow when the surge is at its highest and most powerful.. it really isn't looking good for us. Great for further South with snow but all we've gotten out of this spell so far is flooding

Thanks. Just debating whether to drive to work from north Kent to London

Not one bit snow here, little bit sleet for few mins, sky's now clearing but temp has gone from 1c at to 2.3c oddly maybe as the wind has picked up makes me think the North Sea has something to do with it, 

[SMU]

So for most the snow we mostly be gone in the next 2 hours although the gardens will retain them

dewpoints now between 0 & 2c 

10pm models say it will be @-2 dewpoint over out region so come 11/12 expect it to start to freeze up

we *may* see some more flurries overnight & some tomorrow-

The models havent taken the easterly totally away, just the convective element so next week would be dry & very cold, also there is NO sign of a return from the atlantic, if anything there are currently more signals for the cold to strengthen !

anyway look out for more updates soon!

its a HUGE triangle, it goes between great yarmouth and lowestoft on the coast with about 12 miles between them, to beccles inland about another 12 miles. Someone will correct my figures in a minute, lol.

I think now is about as bad as it's going to get. Local gritters said they wouldn't go out until the snow had stopped, so expect them to be heavily busy overnight, with roads clear for rush hour tomorrow. Someone somewhere has actually been using their brain ....

Not sure about that. I went around the southern M25 at about 4pm and all the signs said "Salt Spreading", which, given the rivers of water on the road, was the very definition of futility.

[VillagePlank]

This is a thundersnow setup, if ever I've seen one,
