Somehow it remains open. All credit to the snow clearing teams over there, as half of this amount would've closed the runway in previous years.

Substantial delays though.

Indeed, bet it's quite a battle against the snow up there at the moment! Although they'll be struggling if this keep up for the next few hours as forecast..

[handler66]

Big snow flakes in the mix now

[Bogman]

2" here and counting......

[Angel Wings]

Settling on all surfaces even tho an hour ago it was raining ....

[Snoopie42]

It could get interesting if this carries on until lunchtime, as currently predicted, coinciding with the stiff breeze that we are forecast to get.....could create some nice landscapes, unless the wind cancells out any evaporative cooling that maybe assisting currently! Certainly going to be interesting seeing how this all unfolds.

And now it’s snow. From rain to sleet to snow in about 10 minutes.

can’t see it settling though.

I couldn't either, given the very wet start, but it is, quite readily now.  Hope it will all white by the time the children wake :-)

SNOWING  IN STROOD. NOT EXPECTING THAT 

 

[Radiating Dendrite]

Starting to settle now on roofs, grass etc

 

[NO LONGER POSTING]

If the band could stall right where it is that would be lovely, already a nice covering unreal lol the size of the flakes reminds me of 2010

[Scandinavian High.]

Heavy snow Orpington now setting 

[Britneyfan]

Settling here in Essex too 

[Biensie]

It was sleat here at 7.10am and a temp of 1.0. I dropped my son to work at 7.30 and the sleat turned to heavy snow and temp dropped to 0.5. Yeah!

 

[weathertoski]

Proper snow now - settling on cars

The joys of being close to the sea....! Great to see reports in other areas though

[Daniel*]

Fantastic snowing nicely makes it all worth it to think 24 hours ago it was looking all rain.  

[Tom Quintavalle]

Snow getting heavier here now and starting to settle on grass and cars,

Best wishes,

Tom.

Steve I hope you don’t mind me asking but when you decided to move to your new home did you factor in elevation ?   

 

Top on the list of demands ! 

Had to be above 150M - would have been going bananas in Greenithe now !

[Ice Day]

Heavy rain for a couple of hours, then turned quickly to heavy snow.  It's now sticking on all surfaces.  Temp dropped by around 2.5 degrees in less than an hour.  Now around 0.5c.  Plenty more to come looking at the radar, hopefully will get in excess of 5cm out of this. Brilliant stuff.

[Angel Wings]

Temp has dropped 2* in the space of an hour 

[Southender]

Snow now falling in Southend. Big flakes

And a strategically placed lamppost Nick I bet!

Bubs' winter wonderland is now complete. Photo doesn't do it justice.

 

Doesn't feel as cold, but the flakes are now bigger and it's heavy.
