Heavy snow now Southend. Starting to stick.

[Great Plum]

Still snizzle / drizzle / sleet / snow in Reigate - no chance of anything settling here - Reigate Hill is white though...

Rain here, with some sleet.

[Kent Blizzard]

Snowing here in Boxley, settling on grass and car roofs, not the roads/paths 

[Methuselah]

Just starting to settle on roofs and grass...must be very localised, so will prob turn back to sleet soon.

Attempting to settle? nowhere near settling in Walthamstow

Epping new road is covered in snow

 

[Essex Chelle]

The roads are awful massive puddles this concerns me regarding overnight low temp forecast tonight as I don' finish work till 11pm and have a rear wheel drive automatic ?

Monstrous sized flakes falling in Southend. We are going that grey colour on surfaces now.

I literally ran to the window to see....nothing.

[Flash bang flash bang etc]

Don't want it to settle now lest I end up stranded in Maidstone!

Dew point just too high here. Looks like I'll be missing out again  We're supposed to be moving house in the next year and I can't bl**dy wait.

What instruments are you using to get your dew point? As the dew point cannot be higher than the air temperature.

If you are already 86m above sea level, then you have been seriously unlucky!

[Whereisthesnow?]

Heavy snow in the City

[danm]

THe wife has sent me a video of the snow back in Chingford - looking quite heavy and settling on the grass at least! 

Edit: At Work in Covent Garden and snowing here. Nothing settling here to be expected

And now it's gone back to sleet; what wee accumulation that has stuck has only minutes to live!

[SLEETY]

Nothing here back to you tube for my snow fix

Cant wait to het home later

heavy snow here in orpington means very heavy at home

the forecast of accumulations over 400 feet are spot on!

lookinh at the radar im expecting 5-6 cm at west kingsdown & 2-4 at home

Steve,

ill be interested to hear how you get on driving home later. 

I’ll be heading from London to New Barn via the A20. 

Do do you think I’ll need to plan a different route? 

Cheers

[Flash bang flash bang etc]

Snowing here at Mid Kent Shopping Center. Big sticky flakes too

I suspect my dp may well be b*ggered as I'm only using a Netatmo. I'm not even convinced the air temp is correct either as it reckons the lowest temp last night was 0.8 ? I'll need to sort this out. 

[Darkcloud]

Been moderate /heavy wet snow here since 9am. Temp 0.5 dp 1? Settling on cars, roofs and grass but can't see it sticking!

[snowking]

Snowing at work in Victoria now too...shame about all the horrible sleet before that

[Nimbusman]

Moderate to heavy snow now starting to settle and replenish the thawed snow from yesterday

it's stopped here just flakes blowing in the wind on canvey - top of my road is the sea wall at the point looking straight across to Leigh.
