Light snow falling now might build a snowman, anybody got any name ideas?

Frosty?  On another note slightly more snow falling but not settling very well.

Is the snow settling on the ground for anyone? Not Doing much here 

[Southender]

Took a screen grab of the radar at midnight from the BBC.

Thames (ish) Streamer "Potential" not quite a true one.

Also perhaps some interest in the Channel for snow to funnel through the straight.

We only need one heavy snow shower to cover everything again! So lets hope everyone in kent gets one atleast

[Easily sled]

Much heavier now, slab still struggling to get covered though......this all bodes well for this evening where I have high hopes.

Maybe this light snow just has a hard time really merging together and settling? Definitely below freezing here

[Tim Bland]

Temp -2 DP -3 moderate snow..but it’s still struggling to settle Ground is just a bit too warm still

 A little further north than their online version, I’m hoping it’s somewhere between the two

Nice covering here in Hastings now. Snow is getting heavier as I type

I think that's just some highish stratus, not sure much precip from that...

It appears to be gaining traction already,the radar is getting 'filled in' at all points around the Sussex coast.

Uptick now in falling powder snow.

How can the ground be warm though? No doubt it would settle after dark. 

[echodelta21]

You couldn't make it up...even with what little is falling in the local area, there has been a show shield hole on the radar around Romford for hours

Same here been snowing all morning but not settling. After dark this would have been a few cm’s by now.

[SHM040519]

Snowing again in canterbury. Radar says it should be dry.

I think we are looking for convective showers coming in this evening and overnight, rather than the mass of light precipitation to our East

[Chertseystreamer79]

Is it setting up....?

[throwoff]

South east BBC forecast just now -

 

More to come this afternoon

2-5cm this afternoon possible 

5pm big stream coming into Medway and north Kent and running to 4am ish.

Patchy showers tomorrow.

 

[Captain Shortwave]

At work now in Huntingdon, underneath that frontal band. Just thick high cloud and the occasional cumulus along with some patchy snow. The streamer over Lincolnshire remaining solidly a few miles north of Peterborough.

Now come on.. you want to screw up my journey home... don’t you...
