Before I lose the will to live reading some of these comments of doom and gloom, let’s clarify things, yet again:

1) This is a developing situation 

2) The late afternoon predictions still stand 

3) The radar returns are now showing the development

4) If you’re still not convinced, I give up

Just be patient and you’ll be rewarded....if you’re in a favourable location.

But you said 4pm!!!!!!!

Think you should just do the latter ... I’ve been patient my whole life and never been rewarded ?

Fascinating to watch the sattelite capture sequence on buienradar. You can see the easterly with the shower flow, the convergence in the south east with a.. LP? Pushing up through France.

Looking at the direction [anti clockwise] of the snow radar returns for the SE ... it does look as if a low is forming over the south east  [between london and the sussex coast].  

The low is over France

Yes. Beast Mk III

It's crazy!

I forgot to mention earlier when I went on my short quick walk.. I was talking with an elderly lady who told me cold springs were a regular occurrence back in her day.. She was born in 1943.. I got the impression she was quietly enjoying the weather though even if she was struggling to stay upright at times:rolleyes:

What does that mean? Just looking to learn :)

Look at the the met officer rader ... go back in time from then to now. You'll see the direction the snow bands/showers are movingin the SE  - which is anti clockwise, with the centre of the bands between london and the sussex coast. That centre might be a low pressure forming.

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

 Both. you can track it here: https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/observation/rainfall-radar#?map=Rainfall&fcTime=1521226800&zoom=5&lon=-4.00&lat=55.01

The radar shows current weather, not the next 24 hours?

Hi John, can I ask a question? Do you know when the term Surrey Hills appeared! I hear it constantly now and have lived here for nearly 50 years and never heard it until I saw a board go up on the side of the road in Farnham a few years ago! I just wondered if you had any idea? 

i moved here 18 years ago and those wooden signs with the swirls all over them appeared a couple of years after that, I think. 

I know what you mean though... Everything is "Surrey Hills..." these days. Just easier than saying between Dorking and Guildford from my point of view!

Makes it a tourist destination I guess!

Cold springs were all the rage in the 1960s, after the 62-63 winter.

Guys i have to go to Gillingham tonight will i get home.  What time is the heavy ppn meant to arrive?

Looks like it could build through the late afternoon and evening. Stick to main roads, they’ve been gritted today and the traffic should keep them clear. Where are you going, Priestfeilds staidium?

The met office radar allows you to go back but also to look at the present situation.

She mentioned some years in the late 40s too.
