Snow Spotters 2018

[elsiegee40]

We have icy snow here. Not flakes but like small, very white, plastic pellets (not hail either) The coverage is pretty good, but not enough to give an all-over covering.

 

Heading home from the in-laws we have been in this on and off since Luton. It’s turning the skies dramatic colours as we approach Thurrock on the M25

Went for a walk across the adjacent hills, at about 1400ft. The weather closed in, we ended up in a strong snow flurry which settled fast. Seriously, biting cold. Welly split and I stood in a puddle! Dog loved it!

So as the "Beast from the East" starts to set in, the long range forecasts are starting to come together, Tuesday's looks interesting although obviously this may/will change....

The Met Office has updated their weather warnings. There are now warnings in effect for Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday:

The picture may change again.

About time my area got some snow. Been sitting here for weeks wanting a snow day!!

It’s going to be like the ‘Day After Tomorrow’ the day after tomorrow.

None in west Kent yet. We have clear skies

That gap in the middle? That's Witch, AJWhite & me. Grrr.

I predict nothing major (unless you’re southern then it will be the end of the world).

 

We had constant flakes over night - I know because my cameras have had almost constant recording. Barely anything on the ground though.

Hold the phone... gentle little flakes falling as I type.

It has started here! I think I am near @DaveP (not too near, I wouldn't want to start any rumours )

Well, planet Earth is pretty near, most of the time.

Just a few flakes falling now, but the sky is mostly blue

[DeGrimmy]

It's snowing in West London, it started at about 7am but it's so far been mostly very light, with a few heavier (but really not heavy at all) flurries.

Yep...but I have just watched the weather forecast and it talks about possible blizzards by the end of the week in the south!

No doubt that will be everyone except me, @Oaktech and whoever else lives too close to the sea to get decent bad weather..

... and me - with lovely a blue sky today It's pretty parky out there though.

 

Still, I've had my fair share of snow this year. Been skiing twice already with another booked and a long weekend in Krakow coming up (got too much holiday to cram in before April).

[bald_pig]

Snow falling and settling here in SE London!

[AJWhite1970]

Been lightly snowing here for the past hour. HM has just asked for the winter weather web page to be dusted off and put on the home page, for us Tuesday evening and all day Thursday looking good

[witch]

It's very quiet on here this morning...

*imagines poor edugeeks slogging through huge snowdrifts with the sound of wolves howling in the background..

[BKGarry]

Very light dustings happening here this morning, already been asked 3 times whether I have access to the Email and Text message system from home lol.

 

It's North Kent for goodness sake, lucky if we have a significant snowfall twice a decade ;-)
