I couldn't bear the thought of little boys outside playing football in this bitter weather... Their poor little knees shivering in the wind ?????. Hopefully they will be able to play their game.. 

Trust me their well wrapped up in several layers and running around loving it. It’s the parents that get cold ?⛄️

[IPredictASnowStorm]

Flood warnings should be out never miss a rain shower me ?

[Nick F]

Light snow here in Croydon, struggling to settle on the ground, as I expected, especially tarmac/concrete given how mild it’s been, but settling on shed roof and fence.

[Come rain snow or shine]

Dry as a bone on the Sussex coast.

looking forward to seeing what Mother Nature can produce today and tomorrow

 

Us southerners have to be a bit patient. the front is edging our way, but it's been very slow so far, but it has been building, so fingers crossed. after that, maybe tons of snow showers.

we have become a snowflake generation,used to enjoy it in the snow,if your running about playing football your not going to get cold  .god forbid we don't get a month long freeze up next winter then

[Dorset_mist]

Very light sleet here in NW Surrey, brisk NE veering E wind blowing, can I expect snow later? Met Office suggesting 24 hours of the stuff! 

[IPredictASnowStorm]

Is this band of snow going straight down or to the left ?

I remember playing football when young in cold weather. My bits shrunk to nothing. Wish they would come back or is that another problem?

[BlastFromThePastbuzz]

Do you guys think the game at Twickenham today could be impacted? 

[fulham snow]

Go away snow at least until after the qphaaa game.The thought of sitting on the terraces with snow and E wind does nit sound inviting.

however beating the haaaaa will warm me up 

[crazysnowcatz4]

Very light snow in Canterbury atm

Snow can settle on wet ground, it's a myth that it can't, you just need the temp to drop ever so slightly and boom its very strange to watch because you can almost watch puddles turn white 

Lowering dewpoints also aid the process.

[danm]

Heavy, blowing snow in north London.

Starting to settle on the grass and cars

[NO LONGER POSTING]

Still cant get over the fact that it is my Birthday on Wednesday and here we are on the 17th March with the prospect of some disruptive snow... 

More so the change in conditions overnight, everyone yesterday kept saying to me, How can it possibly snow tomorrow with weather like this.. I said "Give it time.."

[paget]
