In all seriousness it depends but typically 150m probably better to ask someone else.

it is relative.  Originally I was from the Midlands and the place I lived for that area was very low lying at around 100ft, there would quite often be nothing there but as soon as you drove away and got to 200ft you would start seeing bits on the verges, go 4 or 5 miles away to Redditch at 300-400ft and it was often a winter wonderland.  The same in Maidstone, I live at about 250ft and in marginal events have driven down to the train station where there has been nothing on pavements etc when the road outside my house is covered.  Even this year there has been nothing but I look across to the Downs and I see snow from 400ft upwards...  In summary I think living at 250ft I have a better chance than sea level, but I would hardly call where I live "Higher Ground"..

Don't say that IDO, Reigate Hill is our go-to spot when Surbiton is way too low lying for snow! Fingers crossed that everyone gets in on tomorrow's 'snowmageddon';)

And sorry to hear that Xander, don't let it get you down, keep up your enthusiasm and learning, your efforts are much appreciated around here and all of what you are putting in will take you far.

Reigate Hill for us too !  Not getting the sledges out yet though...

 

And Xander, keep going, drive them nuts ! Keyboard Warriors the lot of 'em   And yes enthusiasm, patience and persistence is 90% of everything

Thanks. I'm at about 260 - 270ft, with the top of my road about 300ft i'd imagine.  Wondering if that would make a different to weather in the estuary that is less than 5 km away.

[Neilsouth]

I live in the outskirts of Ashford, how's it looking for tomorrow? :D 

[Snowy Bob]

Just been outside to have a gander - and you can smell it in the air - can't describe it - but its there!

Typical, I'm in NE Norwich and literally meters outside the warning area.

Been banned from the mod thread for doing absoloutely nothng again,for past action which was I didn't know enough but I've gone on like every website and learnt what I need to know.

Anyway BBC has Snow from 6am up until 10am, we'll see what happens.

Xander

Wouldn't worry about it. That place seems to have some very strange rules. I think the mods struggle a bit. Not their fault, it does get very busy and things can get out of hand quickly.

My biggest gripe is the echo chamber effect that seems to be getting worse in the 3 odd years I have been lurking there. Realists are more and more being pushed out by "Rampers". It's a shame as it devalues the discussion element of it. Knocker had the right idea last winter. Get his own thread for serious discussion where you are the only contributor!

I'd still fully expect you to still see something though, being so close to that amber zone.

[Ols500]

i reckon box hill (+200 meters should see something)

[john mac1]

Since when do you put an amber warning out for 1-3cm

they must think there’s going to be more. 

[paget]

Hi all!

it’s been a lovely day with some sun here in Farnham, Surrey! 
I am not expecting anything again, I’m probably the most West of us do it will be rain when it hits me!

Main reason for it being amber is the time IE rush hour not the amount of snow!

How’s it looking for North Kent ?

[stainesbloke]

Fingers crossed for the so far, snow-starved SE, looks quite positive overnight and tomorrow. Hopefully, the front will stall and won’t turn to rain Always hated that happening.

[jamesgold]

Have to remember that Amber area will see snow for longest, and well into rush hour. That could take it into that 5-10cm bracket. The idea remains that 1-3cm widely over the yellow area

[m1chaels]

The models are showing quite widely 10-20mm of precipitation so depending whether the majority falls as snow then totals could be quite high.  The shift to amber has not added depth but has seen the likelihood increase.

[londonblizzard]

Looks like the only difference between met office's yellow and amber warning zones is the 'likelihood'. Both have same 'impact' and talk of 1 - 3 cm widely and up to 5 - 10 cm in places. So theres a chance even south of london could come off well.

[East Kent Snow Desert]

A two minute wet snow shower here near to the coast. Promising for tomorrow!
