Fingers crossed the streamer on the radar hits here (Medway) then back builds!

Very heavy snow shower at my office near Harefield.

As you say GP, some of Surrey now in the zone for later.

[Easily sled]

Heathrow missing this?

[john mac]

Good signs with the amber warning extending to a larger part of our region.

[SLEETY]

of course some people are disappointed we finally have a true Siberian High and in 5 days the cold spell will be over

something has happened where low pressure from the S is able to push the dense cold air away enough to let milder air win out.

Don't know why,these Siberian highs are normally more resilient than that ,if you go through the archives,march 2013 is a prime example .

Very disappointed maybe the experts can work out why the Siberian high only lasted  days

[Wimbledon88]

EURO4 says streamers, met office says a light dusting. 

We'll end up empty handed. 

LOL. 

[lawrenk]

ICON (to my eyes) looks much better for the end of the week.

But at no point did anyone say it will last beyond this weekend. MetO always said it could.

Don't forget the time of year - winter can't go on forever. 

Just enjoy what we've got and will have over the next few days. With a bit of luck Thu night/Fri morning will bring us snow and freezing rain which I don't believe anyone here has ever experienced. It's the most amazing thing albeit very dangerous and destructive if heavy rain.

[seb]

The warning for Friday has just been extended to cover almost all of us!

[Gowon]

Yep.. snow all the way on the IKON through Thurs/Fri

cold spell ends in the SE Friday according to met office afternoon update

let's hope everyone sees some decent snowfall this week  and the low pressure coming up Thursday stalls and we end up with a mega blizzard to finish of a remarkable end to an average winter .fingers crossed
