SE and East Anglia general weather discussion 03/03/2018 onwards

[Paul Sherman]

Been snowing since 630am here non stop, as others have said settling easily on trees, cars, grass and sticking to everything giving that Alpine Look, a decent base for later

[abruzzi spur]

In Brighton for a couple of days. 3.1c, dewpoint 1c, dry.  Strong Easterly wind as I walked the dog along the seafront at 7:30am.

[Gowon]

The flakes are bigger now

[andreas]

In Crystal Palace, the snow is settling readily now on grass, not yet on pavements or roads. Temperature 1.1, dew point -0.5.

 

[Southender]

A nice covering building in Southend now. Roads still clear, but everything else gone white.

[kold weather]

Nothing much here in the western end of this section, but it is coming, radar shows a decent band, could geta couple of cms for you guys further east.

dew points should drop away nicely, as are all other factors that we need to be looking for, over the next 2-3hrs I'd think the snow will be settling more widely, the concrete may take longer simply due to it holding the heat better. I'd have thought by this evening that won't be a factor either.

Looking great for tonight, I'm sticking with the HIRLAM based on how it has handled this first front.

[paget]

Still waiting! 

Game of scrabble anyone! ?

[snow raven]

Snowing in Bexleyheath, starting to settle now too! After yesterday's fairly warm day, I think waking up to settling snow is going to shock a few people!

[Bazza118]

Very light snizzle here at present but wind picking up again. 

[SMU]

already fairly white @ home

missing it but hammering it down here in Eltham

[Gowon]

Hrilam and IKON showing snow chances up until sunday eve and maybe early hours of Monday.

[Gowon]

Big fakes now.. This should make a difference

[CI Weather]

Had some heavier snow here in South Essex settling on grass, cars etc temp now down to 0.3°c. Should soon settle on pavements.

Just as a matter of interest, how much snow did you get from the late feb / early March spell?, as with the NW, there seemed to be huge variations in the SE/

Pretty poor - deepest flat accum was about 3 cms and that was after the Friday frontal push through

Proper snow here in Wallington now! The wind has blown my pond cover about so a trip up the garden is due soon

Mines not lying how heavy it got to be 

[Nick F]

Moderate fall of big flakes now in SE25; starting to settle on grass now, as well as roofs, cars and fences but not on pavement and roads.

00z EC keeps much of the SE under snow for much of the day and through the night, radar shows more to come off the E Anglia coast.

[moogyboobles]

It's so monochrome! Wet dark roads and everything else is white. 
I woke to really fat flakes, it's a little finer now in South Woodham. 

[CrimsonSunset]

Getting heavier in Bermondsey SE London. None settling though, I suspected this would happen given the recent mild conditions and warming of surfaces
