Thanks for that, SH, but I'm probably the only one relying on Shanks's Pony; got to go collect my latest Fit Note from my GP, too...Cue blizzard!

Indeed blizzard has arrived

ABSOLUTE WHITEOUT!!!

These showers are incredible Chris! Let’s hope they keep coming and we could end up with 20+ cm’s today alone 

This has the hallmarks of an ‘old skool’ easterly now, wind freshening now

The region could be buried should the evo-be of correct nature...

Some serious totals   -accumulations!

yes just seen that  looks like snow for more of London on Thursday  ( West of region ) for longer and Friday a Amber warning could extend NE 

[Uxbridge90]

Come on Thames, we need you to start beefing up!

[snowblind]

Under estimated the snow depth this morning. I have now done an official measurement in several places and it's actually 13cm. The heaviest fall since Feb 2012.

after a brief lull it's snowing again now. Still -3.7.

Great webcam for watching the snow in Great Yarmouth.

[Number 23]

Snowing again here looks like potential for 10-15 mins

[JennyJane1]

medium snow here again we are going to have a good accumulation by this afternoon if the sun doesnt melt it.

[tight isobar]

Yep, if it continues on it's current track and growth this could catch a lot of people out by surprise.

And with that, I'm off out...I might be gone for some time!

[Meggy]

Getting very dark now after the beautiful sunshine! still about -3. 

[snowblind]

Actually snowing pretty hard now. Glad I managed to get out for a bit of a play with my daughter earlier - no school for her today.

[Paul Sherman]

SE Essex and the coasts might not do as well as 5-10 miles further down the line as these places seem to be the initiation point. And I guess its only fair that places that have not seen the snow get some.

Share and Share alike

[Lebowski]

I cleared my car to go to work, then was told to stay home. Treachorous road conditions in Norfolk today. The car is showing snow since about 9am.

Now up to 11cms here, 10 miles west of Ipswich. My interest now is the strengthening easterly wind. First of all, for those in the west of the Region this could see showers reaching further inland. But secondly, the snow lying on tree branches and roofs is already being blown about. I can see problems later as the wind gradually increases. Gusts of up to 40mph by this afternoon will see this dry, powdery snow getting blown off fields, etc., and possibly blocking roads. Despite snow showers easing, will places experience 'ground blizzards' later on?

Arpege gusts 14.00

Edit: Have the Met Office lifted their Amber warning too early? It expired at 10.00 and it's still moderate snowfall here with worsening conditions.

Come on showers - just a little bit further, you can do it.

 

[Number 23]

Heavy here at the moment, flakes smaller than earlier but quite blustery.

[Farmer101]

Snowed heavily overnight here in Thurning (North Norfolk). Clocked up something like 7 inches, with more heavy snow falling. Radar looks like it will ease though, so perhaps I should get ready for the melt.....

Still, this is the heaviest snowfall here for a good 10 years.

Just measured accurately as 6" (sorry - old school!) depth here in Worlingworth - NW of Ipswich. p.s. anyone seen our cat?
