Will high ground in London see snow from these showers?

I am 250 foot above sea level.

I just had a very intense hail squall, wind picked up very quickly indeed, all surfaces have turned white within 5 minutes! I stuck my arm out of the window, and it felt like needles against it.

Funny other day I had no luck with the showers they seem to be inbound here from the Hampshire coast dew point is fine temp is a bit high however.

I think you’ll see sleet / hail or snow. That’s if they get there.

Blimey Daniel I was about 3 miles away from a snow shower last night and it evaporated in quick smart time . ? I wasn’t a happy bunny especially as someone sent me a clip from there of fat juicy flakes coming down .

Yeah knowing my luck they won't. I might pop in the car to go the showers if not:)

Since they’re coming up from the south they may stand a better chance typically they don’t fade out when in the summer! Anything from the north west is cursed here, maybe chilterns has an impact.

Yep concur with that LL, only small hail but quite intense and the patio was covered in minutes.

Well, hopefully within 10 days we won't have to worry about whether the showers make it to us, or if they will be of snow, because we will have -10 uppers over us

The blob has grown I’m expecting sleet if I’m lucky. Indeed.

Gives one a warm fuzzy feeling. 

They've gritted the roads in a Horley. Can only assume someone has sneezed. 

[chionomaniac]

Waiting to see what this next shower brings. Red on radar so hoping for a good bit of hail.

[Darkcloud]

Just had a heavy polystyrene ball shower, turned everything white briefly. Temp dropped to 1.2 but has risen to 1.9 now it's passed.

[lottiekent]

First shower hit and it’s sleety but definitely more rain than anything.

Currently 2.0c, dp 0c

[chionomaniac]

Hail/rain mix. Ice pellets that cover the car.

[East Kent Snow Desert]

Intensifying blob west of Ashford looking promising for North East Kent perhaps!
