Couldn't help laughing when I read that comment and then looked at your profile pic

Heaviest snow of the day here! 

Keep it up nature 

[snowbob]

Snowing in sutton

[snowbob]

Let’s just hope that estuary starts to light up

[Southender]

Definitely something coming out of the near continent overnight. Look at the instability and the kink! @Steve Murr what do you think?

Unbelievable,drip,drip,drip,how is that possible

Very rapid rise of temperature...here in Essex gone from -2.5c at 9 to 0.4c a few moments ago. Dew points have risen somewhat as well.

Correct. Similar positioning to last night, perhaps a touch further west with a more E'ly flow overnight. Maidstone closed!

That fills me with dread.  I have 18cms and adding that on to what we have is not good for here.

snow in Dorking now

Lol you happy now? You were snowless and on edge last night.  Then the flurries started, late, and you cheered up. 

[CrimsonSunset]

Sunny here with very dark skies to the north and east. 

[snowrye]

Getting darker again,the last hurrah sadly,hopefully those showers firing up.from holland will zip over in record time,its already dripping,not good

[warrenb]

Strength of the sun. The drip is probably coming from dark coloured objects that absorb the wavelength of the sun (the same way solar panels work), this raises their temperature slightly and hence the drip.

By the way, still heaving down here with a temp of -2.3c but dark coloured things (roads etc) are wet.

If anyone has a spare reindeer I'd appreciate it, last couple hours have been chaos around here in Boxley!

[fulham snow]

Finally.

Snow in Epsom,not much but great to see it

[chionomaniac]

The bonus thing about the drip drip from sun surface heating - Icycles!

Only if we end up with a blizzard on Thursday. 

Am never satisfied.

The dusting we got in Dover has all but melted already. I hope we have a chance of proper snow still, not really fancying our chances just now. I know what a streamer can deliver like the few we had in the early 2010's so it is a little gutting that it missed us this time!

Yeah, I'll just send them along. 

Which one would you like? Vixen? Comet? Rudolph? (Although he's a right pain)

Just now, Southender said:

There you go as I thought. Another Convergence line early hours...

Would that have a more easterly flow to it

or same again

[James Oliver]

What's likely to happen this evening then? 

[Kent Blizzard]

I'll shall be keeping a close eye on the Dutch Radar this afternoon and overnight Dutch Radar

Is being directly under/around that line a good thing? I hope so!

Posted wrong chart. Looks like a trough moving through on perhaps an W-WNW angle as winds back towards ESE

[weathertoski]

A few flakes now in Twickenham.
