Fairly heavy snow here at the moment, no sign of rain.

Radar parameters must be slightly off then because has St Albans on the boarders of rain/sleet....good to here ?

[Ben Lewis]

Stayed at my mates at Ampthill, Bedfordshire last night.

Just looking outside, decent covering and coming down fairly well. 

I’d say 1cm 

love to see pictures of that report of thick snow in North London. Hmmmm @Daniel*

Definitely a wintry mix here of rain and sleet, wonder if any of us will get lucky oh and yes, snow can settle on wet ground, that's a myth that it can't 

Morning Surrey - certainly is a myth - I’ve seen it turn very suddenly when it’s been raining all day and it left traffic chaos here in Reigate a few years ago...

just rain here at the moment...

It's had us as under sleet all morning so far but it's been just snow and it's heavier now.

Definitely a bit sleet here reigate is south of me, can here the icy bits hitting the window sounds like hail lol, anyway even if I see falling snow with non settling ill be happy, one thing is for sure with freezing temps tonight it's going to be like an ice rink out there later

Not as in thick snow in the ground! As it coming down thickly.. 

[Gretal]

Rain/Sleet mix turning increasingly to large snow flakes here in Chatham and gusty too! 

[Daniel*]

The snow line is coming south from the reports im getting 0700-0800 all of Essex & London should be in it.

Oh I see, I thought it was a little out there. 

Snowing very well in Ampthill, Bedfordshire!

Yep a few very wet flakes mixed in here now... Interesting times it's turning quicker than I expected, I wasn't eden expecting to see sleet when I woke up, not much wind here at the moment so I guess evaporative cooling can take place

Yup same here - temp now gone from 2 to 1c and yup more wintry . 
fingers crossed

Just over an inch in North Bucks.  The sleetyness has gone now, just steady moderately heavy snow.

[Great Plum]

The precip type is off it’s based on data not in real-time so I suspect that’s why, as far south as north London.

Here’s hoping! We are meant to be test driving a car in Epsom at 2 this afternoon - if it’s snow by then and with the added elevation, it could be interesting...

It's no good there it need to move NE

[snowking]

Wet on the ground....but starting to turn here in Greenwich with plenty of flakes mixed in with the rain. and that's at pretty much sea level

[Ben Lewis]

A little check outside. 

1 inch of snow cover in Ampthill, Beds. 

Snowing steady and moderately.

You’re nearby likewise just a little up the river should definitely turn between 0700-0800. 

[Britneyfan]

Looks like it will turn back to snow soon, bbc have heavy snow here from 8am

[Snow Obsession]

Snowing heavily and settling in High Wycombe despite the radar saying rain - and I'm in a valley...

Good luck everyone!

[topbanana2011]

Now snow here - although light.

very wet on ground so doubt it will settle

[Snoopie42]

After Sleet at 3.30am we now have heavy snow which is settling on the wet ground....going to be an interesting days viewing! Its Christmas! ☺
