I'm wondering if it's stalling, seems to be taking an age to get here! 

I'm in Ashtead (between Leatherhead and Epsom) and the pink blob had been sitting about 5m to the west for 1.5hrs then started and got about 5-6cm in 2.5hrs! Come up Epsom Downs now for a little sledge, still been very finely snowing but brightening up now. 

Meto has more snow overnight so looks like it's coming back over later??!!!x

West is best. Accumulation precip map showing who has had the most snow

2cm at best in NE london

[Lampostwatcher]

Finally stopped snowing in Harrow weald north west of London 

Current snow depth was 7.2cm 

Now waiting till later to see if the band comes back south east to top it up  best snow event since 2017

[Number 23]

>Well. Snow just started in Chelmsford but it must be about as marginal as it gets, alternating sleety mix and falling on wet ground.

What is the expectation for the west of the region for the rest of the day? Around 2-3cm here so far at least.

[Floatylight]

Graupel .

Good for starters,still await the main course x

The band is seriously fragmenting just before me!

Radar says snow overme ,but Nada?

[Hammer]

Places to my NW have definitely had stronger PPN. Almost been in an area of much lighter snow (look at M11) when you run the radar loop. I might benefit from stall and pivot though. But again those NW of here may benefit still further.

Similar, looks like it's starting again - admittedly very light - but there's a clear thaw underway. 

Light rain now . All In all though a great event though 

[BeazleyBlizzard]

Taking the opportunity to get the compulsory i love snow family picture. Skies are clearing now. The band certainly doesn't look like the pivot is going to be as strong as first thought.

[john mac1]

Rapid melt already!

Generally bad always here except for one of two rare events now and again. Global warming and almost always anomalous high sea temperature moderates weather way too much here now. Father in law near Leicester, hammering down with snow. Unless very cold eastern Europe temps creep across from the East any events like this are best towards midlands

seems only the beast from the east delivers now to the far SE,,, where uppers are cold enough to give snow despite the warmer seas in our regionon even at 800 ft it was only wet snow,crude  on the downs,

Ended up with 4 cms here - a bit more in Windsor Great Park!

Nice! That last pic is one of my favourite spots, love the Great Park. Is it still coming down?

[Kentieo Weather]

Time to call it a day soon still no snow this winter so far take I am going to kick the can down the road for another week then all of a sudden it will be spring.

[Speedbird]

My retirement to the Cairngorms cannot come quickly enough . . . this winter, for my location, has been as bad as it can get.

Truly shocking.

Actually am quite proud of 35 months of snow less heaven here and  confident we can make it to 48 months by next Feb

Current view

Reverse phsychology... I like your thinking 

[Matty J]

Met O radar seems to be a complete waste of time today for some reason. I’m under moderate precip now and it’s absolutely bone dry
 

Normally their radar is spot on 

[Met4Cast]

Not sure what went wrong across Kent, but people on the Downs are even reporting rain now. Absolute flop for most SE of London. Wont know until the re-analysis but my guess is a wedge of less cold air aloft moved in across Kent from the south as winds veered southerly, combined with the band fragmenting & weakening meant rain rather than snow for many. 

Areas that saw the heaviest precip, London etc have done very well. 

What a sh*t winter this has been for us down here.

[mulzy]

Sleety rain now so I think it’s wrap here in Raynes Park.

Drip drip and the  thaw is on.

2cm at best so best event since March 2018 but a long way from winter nirvana.  Roll on the next chase in early Feb!

[lewis028]

Snowshield of South East Essex continues, raining here now in Benfleet  . Next!

Spot on. If it's not from the east or north east we are scuppered on the SE coasts these days. MO thread reporting further sliders this week so more of the same to come unfortunately

[Cumulus62]

Another poor sleet outcome for Galleywood
