I'm probably one of the only ones here who would rather have the snow go away and keep with warmth and storms, We had our little bit of winter late Feb/early march and now that the sun is getting warmer having additional snow would be pointless. It will cause nothing special and it would melt within a few days unlike in December or January where it can be laying on the ground for weeks, so for me the further north the better.

Fair enough but most of us down here haven’t had the luxury of snow in December or January for years, so anytime of the year is a result as far as I’m concerned.

That milky cloud is clearing here as it goes, just had a shower, sun now out. Gravesend up to 14c, never expected it to be this mild today.

If it's preceding a shower mines just leaving le harve, unless that goes SE east or disappears.

cant make its mind up here if it wants to be cloudy or sunny. i think temperatures have dropped but not by much. it is still a lovely day. i love the snow but i also like the fact nights are longer and says that are nice do seem a lot warmer in the sun.

It'd better snow; I've cleaned my windows so that I can analyse the flakes' finer detail as they fall!:wallbash:

I'm preparing my goat for the cold as we speak.:shok: It's looking tatty, so i'm going to wash it, dry it and give it a good ironing.

Yeah I can understand people getting happy as everyone has their own weather tastes and I admit when it started snowing I was excited as well but within a day I got bored of it, but I know a lot of people love snow and want it to stay for quite a while but its coming to spring now so they shouldn't expect it to last too long.

Atmo no-one expects it to last more than 2 days at most. The chance that its mid-late march for such a strong windfield from the very cold east is a thing of beauty. just goes to show how our winters have changed, and it is warmer sometimes on xmas day than in march!!!!. snow fills me with happiness it brings me back to my childhood and the wonderful 81, (walking to school in shorts), 87 losing a week off school and 91 being on my work experience then we move into the 00 2008, 2009 & 2010..

Looks like somewhere round Basingstoke to be hit “hardest”.

We actually have a lot to do this weekend, so wish this was better timed. Never mind. Snow is snow, and it’s always special. 

The snow warnings form the beast a couple of weeks ago were only yellow by memory. There’s amber now. Should this be read much into. Is there more expected this time round? 

 

CORRECTION, looking back at my screen shots, there was an amber boomerang last time. Ignore me. Nothing to see here

I'm supposed to be in Stevenage for breakfast tomorrow and going to the top end of Hampshire for the night.  Amber warning firmly includes the M25 and M3 - I don't think I'm going far from home!  Anyway, the birds will be frantic Sunday morning if I'm not here to feed them.  Bullfinches in the garden yesterday.

just washed the car,feels like a summer day

Its pretty unusual in this country to get such a rapid drop away in temperatures, to go from 13-14C maxes to 1-2C in 24hrs is a decent drop away, something a little more familar in the USA for example.

I remember after 2009 Croydon started gritting pavements, I don't remember seeing that anywhere before then, although I'm sure it happens in all off London now

Just looking at the raw data on the UKMO website (is it from UKV?) and it makes for interesting viewing. 

Basically, front comes south, strengthens around the London area, then kind of sits over us. Showers kick off from the east, then gradually through the evening it becomes increasingly filled in as the front starts to (re?) develop, pretty persistant mod snow developing over a large region, though steadily transferring more to the west throughout the 2nd half of the night.
