? It doesn’t feel warm to me at all even when I was in the sun. Hands numb. 

Same here, mind you it's just sunny spells here, convective looking cloud has been blowing in, initially from the ene now from the ne.

it' s 2c and dew  p -1c feels bitter 

I think those showers over Norwich seems to be pushing quite far in land and pepping up

Here it's 2 and DP -1.3 so the same really, wind seems to be swinging towards the nne now.

Slightly heavier stuff here, snow/ graupel mix and it looks like the showers are merging together more now... interesting

Be careful you don't get hit by one !

[Daniel*]

At least there is no marginality involved in tonight that’s something in itself. 

[Daniel*]

Cold 3.2C, dew point well below freezing and I’m essentially in the middle of London. 

[alexisj9]

Not sure it's the front it's self that will cause tonight's snow, but developments along it, it lifts over the top and tries to form an upper low. If it does so expect a very heavy slow moving fall somewhere, will be very localised, though. That explains the forecasts that mentioned possible thunder as well. It's a wait and see what happens situation. No one will know 100% what Will happen until it happens with this one.

Just watched the weather forecast for the south for this evening and over night - clear fake news. 

Metogroup are no better than the Met office!!!! 

It suggested snow in Worthing ! 

[Nimbusman]

Everything turning white now! Still graupel but nice to see

[alexisj9]

It the front heading east at all anymore, or just dropping south, the later is what it looks like it's doing on radar, will check sat so I can see more of it.

Everything here dropping due south now, so you guys directly south of here maybe be in for a surprise this afternoon, got some proper flakes mixed in now after a good base of graupel!

[Sno' problem]

The ppn is slowly converging on our area, looking to be building slightly to the North of us, but still looking like it is struggling when it heads into the London heat island. Looks like it could converge nicely on us, a case of radar watching now.

[Chris101]

A more steady graupel has given way to a steady light snow with a few slightly bigger flakes.

[SMU]

I believe the NE part of the front that over the Humber will swing south then slightly SW as well hitting Kent / Essex Norfolk etc

It looks that way, plus the front to the NW is maintaining it's strength, so the two could collide nicely over us.

[Team Jo]

Some very shelf like style cloud action happening just to the NE of me at work...(Camden)

No snow tho :'(

Can't see it hitting our side of London but parts of the SE could do quite well, especially more towards Kent and Sussex 

[Chris101]

Now thick graupel shower, settling very quickly

Visibility very low.
