Whiteout at Heathrow as this moves through the red dot, settling everywhere.

big difference between moaning and stating facts. maybe i should say that it's belting down in kingston - complete white out..... polar bears spotted in the bentall centre and that eskimos are fishing through the ice on the thames? :rofl:

It's clearly far from 'all hype'. Read these pages more closely. It's met or surpassed expectations for many. Big hit I'd say.

Wow! that was one of the best "stand-alone" snow showers I have had ever seen in London. 1-2cm on cars in 20mins or less. -2c now.

Moderate shower just passed through.

Still over an inch covering in the shade which is good.

Its no 82,87,91,10. Lets be honest.

To late in the season & not enough convection.

Love to be proved wrong..

to be fair, while some favoured areas have had decent snowfall, region-wise, most of us have only had minimal snow. the "beast" hasn't delivered anywhere near the potential it had. however, thats no-ones fault, its just the way it is. some have mocked others because they predicted a hell of a lot more snow and it didnt happen, which is unfair because the charts were showing it. if anything, it just shows how difficult snow is to predict.

i should add- its not over yet...

Not ideal wind direction for some of us. Hope Thu/Fri deliver for those not had much snow yet.
