Very nice. 

Love this - I live in Sydney but my parents and family are in Ipswich and have been sending me photos & videos of the snow there. I still follow the snow events even from the other side of the world!

[eddie1]

Well I'm in a amber zone and it is snowing but not heavy really can't see this being any great depth unless this picks up

[Maidstone marginal]

Come on mate the snow is settling even in Maidstone. And that's quite rare even by 1990s standards

Woke up to snizzle, but in the last 5 minutes actual snow is falling with some quite large flakes. Settling on cars and grass.

It has turned very pretty. It's taken 2 hours from sizzle to big fluffy flakes.

[Vesuvius]

Just back from taking the dog for a walk. Waded through the blizzards and heavy and drifting snow and made it back home safely. 

[Dave90]

So only a couple of hours in from snow starting and people are writing it off?! Have a bit of patience this is on for the next 24+ hours

It was always going to be Hawkinge. Is it settling in ramsgate now? It has started settling here after like 16 hours plus of rain

Yeah its settling on all surfaces but painfully slow build up. Would take a lot more and heavier to get anywhere near 10-15cm

But shouldn't complain as it looks beautiful.

[Howie]

Light snow in North London has been getting a tiny bit heavier over the past hour or so

You're half a mile from me!

Yeah, I live to the south east of Dorking so I am always walking in and around Brockham! 

[Whereisthesnow?]

Very light snow here in the village of Bexley.  Looks more encouraging for later though.

Right. I am now much more optimistic. 

Radar shows the precip band building & intensifying, slowing moving westwards. If you're in N Kent, Essex, NW Kent & E London, snow will be with you in the next few hours and once it sets in, it wont be going anywhere fast. 

MO Amber warning looks bang on at the moment, wonder if they'll be any adjustments between 10-10:30. 

Snow already here in NE London, has been for about an hour or so. Light/moderate at the moment but powdery and blowing around. Settling on some surfaces - grass, cars, roofs etc. Nothing on pavements, roads yet. Need those lower DP’s to filter in. 

[Dami]

i'm a second away from seeing sun here.

[Kentieo Weather]

Just not laying on the paths roads only light snow if it keeps like this all day might get 3cms at best.

[Downpour]

Light snow in Chingford, but struggling to settle. Not expecting much but we shall see.

[SnoFlakeEar]

Been snowing for about an hour now. That’s snow not snizzle or sleet but snow!
