Nice steamer setting up to my NE and heading this way. Snowing lightly outside now, awaiting a bit more hopefully! 

Nice little covering in Newmarket now seems to finally be a little shower activity in our part of the world !

anyone know a good snow depth site. I tried to upload to weather quest but doesn't seem to be updating. I have 10cms here now

Amazing what a couple of miles can do, I have, maybe a dusting, and im just down the road

Snow almost all day in Burgess Hill, virtually nothing settled. 

Ours started snowing late morning then continued all day but again didn’t amount to any laying snow Very frustrating isn’t it 

[Biggin]

I didnt know you can view your local cameras on Windy . com

Absolutely. I've seen snow falling when the sky is blue and the sun is shining. I'm sure that someone way more clued up than me can explain the mechanics behind it but I guess that the snow falls high up, gets blown about in the higher atmosphere winds and lands miles away.

It happens when Upper Winds are very strong and the snow is actually coming from a Shower Upwind of you, sometimes it can be over 10 mile away - Has happened here before in Convective Easterlies as well

The lazy way to get you photos from the Downs here in Kent, its too cold outside

Blizzard condition here in Margate. Been snowing most of the day.

That reminds me when I worked at Margate Delivery Office, must’ve been 1990/91. I had to cycle out to Garlinge in a blizzard to start the delivery. Thought I was going to die of hypothermia. Luckily nowadays I can retreat to my van.

[Jamie M]

Manston now up to 14 cm.

Only recently matched in January 1987 as a total I believe.

Crazy.

[Eagle Eye]

Considering there was a few flakes of snow here at about 4pm beggining to lay quite quickly. 

[LightningLover]

Yet another heavy burst here in Bexhill!! 

[Matty88]

Looks like I’m in for a pokey streamer which is edging this way and I’m pleased to say looks quite meaty on the radar now... seems to be gaining strength as it goes. Fingers crossed would be nice to at least get a covering tonight. I’ve heard that it’s given a covering down the road in Newmarket

Lots of showers in North Sea. BRING IT!!

Your constant moaning over the years tends to not be very accurate either buddy. Try to chill out and be a bit of a happier person mate. I'm sure at the end of the day your excited for any cold snowy weather that may happen!  

yea man,if the mountain wont go to mohammad ,ive now icicles at forty five decrees ,proper windy and icy ,no settling on roads though,165m :#] 

[Number 23]

Still something falling which is starting to settle lightly on the bits which couldn't stick earlier. 

Going to be very dicey underfoot tonight I think. 

Let's see if we can squeeze a bit more out of the next phase further inland. 

Edit : think it's just drift as the sky is clear

Predictive Dutch radar suggests ppn pepping up and a bit of a pivot westwards

If correct should help those places in the corridor of doom (Brighton up to Ipswich)

Dont know if the dutch radar is any good - but the ppn does seem to be backing up a bit in the north sea

Heaviest streams currently, red bringing worse conditions towards the far east Ramsgate/Margate

It looks like north Kent will be the favoured spot. Could be some really big accumulations there I suspect.

I'm loving this cold spell. Snow, Ice, whatever its my cup of tea as a weather enthusiast. I'm old enough to not let the 'let downs' bring me down as much as when i was a child in the 70's

A light dusting on parts of the ground here in Cambridge. Only just covered, but a start I guess....

[bluearmy]

The most westerly steamer now finally tracking west .....presumably it will begin to die out as it does so ( reverse psychology)

Yeah I know, used to live there

Snow settling here now and just keeps on coming! Wonder what it may look like in the morning. Some outputs, and indeed support from the radar have it continuing all night. Convection from Hunstanton to Den Helder!! 

[Ackkers]

Level snow here 10.5cm (4 inches). Some drifts. Still snowing. Fine powder. Temp -2.2C (day low), DP -2.5C. Wind N 9mph gusting 20mph.
