Has been snowing all day here so far, whether it’s been individual flakes or polystyrene balls lol. Only a tiny dusting on some roofs and grass. Very cold in that wind, the temperature has dropped slowly and is currently -1C, very unusual for mid March. Hopefully will see much heavier snow later?

We will mate. You’ll get it first as I’m west of you. It’s developing now in association with a wave from the south and a trough aligning through the Thames Valley

For anyone that’s interested in what’s happening to the North of London the Snow has become heavier in the last half hour and is settling on all surfaces. 15 miles west of Bury st Edmunds.

Yes really pepping up in north London. It’s not stopped snowing now for several hours

Just went to move the car away from the main road and this morning's snow has frozen solid to the windscreen!

Continuing with the light snow here. Still looking east :)

There's been continuous light snow here even when the radar was showing nothing over me.

Now that is interesting! You and I champion the HIRLAM, and I stand by it as the best high res model in these situations 

That was picked up by some models yesterday, I'm wondering what the pressure chart looks like, thinking g a wave building behind today's low, how it looked, but now maybe another full low develops.

Ah, that's probably what i saw via the radar - when going back in time a bit then to the present ... Anti clockwise movement, with the centre of that south of london/north of the sussex coast.

Ok you know best. I’m just saying what I see ! 

I'm not saying you're wrong but there are a lot of people writing this event off because the radar doesn't currently show much snow but as others have said these Met office warnings are from now until Sunday night so it's impossible to make any statement based on the current radar images. What everyone who is concerned needs do to is relax and see what develops. If there's no snow this time tomorrow then people can get upset but I'd like to think the Met office warnings are based on fact not fiction.

It is very interesting. More to the circulation than first thought. I said this last night, these easterlies always throw surprises into the mix, especially when low pressure systems develop.

If the radar is to believed, snow coming in to Thames Estuary / N Kent can be traced well back into Holland, so plenty to come upstream

That's UK weather for you! Probably just temporary or a sign a low is on the go.

If only it was January (I’ll get my coat!)

I feel the strengthening of the Jetstream has and will make it impossible for it to happen during mid winter. It's more likely to happen either side of it imo.

I never said 4pm, that was another member. I said later in the afternoon. I do agree with the 4pm comment though. Nobody said the whole region would be covered in snow at 4pm, we said the developments would start then, and they are.

Apparently 17:09 is the new start time ❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄☺

Surprised at these comments really, radar looks encouraging to me for developments over the next 12 - 24 hours.

Chill everyone, am enjoying Polystyrene Fest down here today, first time since 2009 :D

Still light snow but sticking to everything. Road and paths slowly getting covered. It’ll need to snow for 5 days at this rate to get to 5-10cm lol

Having looked through the thread for that day recently, strikes me that we are broadly on the same timescale here, that evening didn't really get going till 7-8pm, though there was a fair amount of lighter stuff around during the early evening, just like we have now. Of course once it got going, it became quite impressive for a number of hours. I think the time window maybe a little shorter this time round but we will see.
