Well I have had a flake or two, so I know what, you stay in the Bounty thread and I'll stick around in the flake thread.

Then we can meet up in the middle later on for all the gossip.

It's more of an East Anglian streamer at the moment, though perhaps some signs of some cells moving towards the Kent area now.

Yes its another north of the M4/Thames estuary affair.....so far anyway.

[SMU]

Its getting now ! at long last the south & central part of the thames has plenty of yellows firing-

[tinybill]

now snowing in ipswich 

[snowray]

Well I have showers to my north and now more moving in east/west but way, way south so I'm off to bed, pointless hanging about for more of the hole in the middle and just a flurry if I am lucky.  

[SMU]

snow up to 3 on the scale - best its been now

[Laurence Hill]

Loads of people phoning in on LBC saying it’s snowing, but nix here really.

-0.6, temp slowly dropping

steve looks like the north sea producing its own snow now by the way the rain alarm looks

[paget]

Right under the big pink bit but nothing here in Farnham, Surrey! 

Sky looks full of it though! Am I just being eternally optimistic??!!

Nothing here yet. I’ve notuced any cars passing by are being driven very gingerly.

[Freezeflake]

Nothing in Orpington, thought I'd be in a good spot? Oh well off to work

 

[southbank]

Despite radar nothing here in sutton

[Speedbird]

light snow here in Leigh being driven by a strong easterly - not settling yet and the expectation of heavy, disruptive snow has not materialised yet

[Radiating Dendrite]

Nothing here yet, but this was not meant to get going until this afternoon.

5 shades of pink, best idea is to ignore the first shade take the second with a pinch of salt and hope for one of the remaining shades to pass over your location.

have learnt the hard way about this where i live

[Jimmyh]

[SLEETY]

Wait till later today ,showers seem to be building out in the North Sea

UKMO looks like keeping it as snow,gfs still looks wrong in its tracking with it approaching the SW then it end up going NW hmm
