A few flakes falling in Covent Garden in central London, a bit too far west here currently.

[Lauren]

Boyfriend in London says it's nice and sunny and not a drop of snow, yet 20 miles away we have inches of it.

Amazed how much we've seen in Brighton/Sussex, thanks to the weather gods for paying back some of the snow we were owed after we always seem to miss out? 

Got between 6-8 CMs widely

 

A snap of Brighton beach and promenade this a.m. by a friend...

You're not under the arches are you??

I'll wave to you along the M25 as I head from clouding over Surbiton to as you say, probably sunny Heathrow and then Uxbridge. Under the new thread titles, I suppose I should post in the other one while I'm at work? 

We’ll let you off, as when I’m at Heathrow I’ll probably be posting in here, despite technically being north of the Thames, time to leave the snow behind.

Heavy thick snow falling fast and settling very quickly. Reckon we've had 3cms in less than an hour. 

[pureasthedriven]

Thought I’d do a bit of good old fashioned snow chasing, given that it’s so local. Balcombe/Hayward’s Heath. -2c. Beaut.

BTW BBC Five Live just now saying likely snow Thurs/Fri and cold into and beyond the weekend, ‘hopeful’ of a return to more average conditions ‘later next week’ and these ‘blocks cause the models problems. It tends to last at least two weeks’. More interest to follow I suspect. 

[anything-but]

Current depth.

 

 

[Alpine glow]

Schools that did open here in Brighton are beginning to close now as still coming down quite heavily.  I'm the snow lover in my family and i'm the only one stuck in an office!  Go figure!  Roll on home time so I can play  

[Come rain snow or shine]

Belting it down north of Steyning/south of Horsham in a shower, but, looking east/north east to kent, showers are developing into someting hefty/maybe are converging, and are on the move west/south west.

A picture looking North from Greatstone beach this morning with dry powdery snow (can't believe I'm typing that). The lower cloud you can see in the picture is where showers were forming in the bay between here and Hythe/Folkestone to the North. Amazing to watch and kept the snow going for a couple of extra hours in Greatstone as a result

[chionomaniac]

In Brighton today and a pretty good covering 

[Mark]

It's quite polystyreney, but every surface is white after 15mins 

 

 

[LightningLover]

Very large flakes now, but the sun is trying to poke through the clouds (Please don't!!).
