going by the radar it looks like the capital will be facing widespread disruption tomorrow. Quite a development

Yes, looks like a direct hit this alright....could be famous last words here BUT anyway, its settling very quickly on roads, pavements and on top of my inch or so that came down yesterday.

[Snowman.]

Let me tell you @Daniel* that was beefy shower 1 hour of heavy snow. Given me 5cm easy.

[SMU]

Well I guess maybe once / twice in a lifetime here

-5 & heavy snow - hosing it down & chasing 2cm ATM

Is it finally time for London to get pasted please make it so..

[Dbarb]

As usual the precip starts to break up and lose intensity here while everywhere else gets a pasting, got to love it.

Steve - chances for us in Sunbury SW London?

[londonblizzard]

Excellent, for once the wind direction is now favouring north London rather than south. 

[throwoff]

Serious snow for 2 plus hours now in Gillingham. You can see a mark now on the roads it’s as if nothing moved yesterday. All car tracks etc totally filled back in. It’s slowing off a little now but we must have 10cm

[Mike Storm]

Heavy snow in Crayford ? everything is white now 

[londonblizzard]

Best hit London itself is about to get so far this cold spell I reckon

I think as long as PPN holds together your ok for a possible cm - I know its not huge  but nice to see - it also *may* fizzle out

[throwoff]

I wonder if anything else is going to pick up behind this main band. The radar is teasing something.

London is about to get a dumping it seems! I haven't had such pleasure in watching moderate/heavy ppn heading towards me in the knowledge that it WILL fall as snow!! What fun!!

Is this a Thames streamer setting up?

It certainly looks like it!!

[Big Snow]

Is the wind not due to switch SSE or SE soon? If so would imagine any streamer would be brief...I would love to be wrong! I'm bordering on excited!

[Sno' problem]

The MetOffice need to update/upgrade their warnings. London isn't going to get off lightly with this clump.
