No snow here in Lincoln.

AWimbaWay · 18/01/2013 10:09

No snow yet here in Harrogate either. I just checked metcheck and apparently it is snowing here right now, you'd have thought they'd at least get the current weather right. BBC says it could be here around 3pm, but they've got it wrong for the past week too so I'm just going to wait and see.

Megmog2005 · 18/01/2013 10:11

It's official. It's snowing in Newcastle upon Tyne. Yippee

ArkadyRose · 18/01/2013 10:11

Coming down steadily and settling here in E17; it was starting to swirl meaningfully as I was dropping DD3 off at school. I bet the assistant head that the playground would be white by 10am and it looks like I won my bet! Grin We were weather-geeking a bit as she has a geography degree. She said school may shut early if it looks likely to get bad, to avoid staff being stranded - I'm expecting to get a call or text about midday.

SilverAndSparklyKat · 18/01/2013 10:14

I have big, proper snowflakes and lots of them! Yay snowy Birmingham!

DreamsTurnToGoldDust · 18/01/2013 10:15

Its really coming down in SE London and settling and slippery. Now DH and DD are over the side of London and both think they wont need to come home early, Im fed up of telling them, so looks as though theyll both be walking home tonight.

I think we might end up having more than they said, have my ruler....

TobyLerone · 18/01/2013 10:19

Still nothing here, but if it's in SE London it can't be far away.

MaureenMLove · 18/01/2013 10:20

Dreams - real proper big snow in South London? I'm just beyond Greenwich and it's pathetic atm!!

Supershiv1 · 18/01/2013 10:23

Chester - been snowing for over 4 hours.
Wind really whipping it up as well. No sign of stopping.
Am sitting tight and working from home!

ArkadyRose · 18/01/2013 10:24

Dreams we're just getting the leading edges over us right now - I think things are going to get REALLY interesting when the main part of the snow band arrives over us at midday. Grin (also standing by with the ruler)

Laska42 · 18/01/2013 10:26

we have a total Isle of Wight - out !! Grin

Jackiewackytiddler · 18/01/2013 10:26

Tiny little snowflakes falling quickly here in Hertford. It is settling on the gardens but not the roads or pavements yet. I'm supposed to be going to Brighton today for the weekend - not sure how likely that's going to happen now Sad

morethanpotatoprints · 18/01/2013 10:27

Lots here in Lancashire/ Greater Manchester, yey brilliant. It doesn't seem to be stopping.
Whole family having a really lazy day, loving our onesies

thegreylady · 18/01/2013 10:31

Lots of snow here in Shropshire-good cover and still falling heavily many schools closed or closing but roads passable.

UndercoverExpert · 18/01/2013 10:34

Morethanpotatoprints, where are you in Lancs/Greater Manchester (if you don't mind saying)? No proper snow today here in the hills above Oldham (yet).

morethanpotatoprints · 18/01/2013 10:41

Undercover, I post a lot about my dd so in case of recognition will pm

WeAreSix · 18/01/2013 10:41

helenagrace snap! Schools starting to close in Worthing, only high schools so far.

sittinginthesun · 18/01/2013 10:43

Snow in Watford. Schools closed in Rickmansworth etc. The main road outside my office looks okay, but it's settled on the path. The phones in the office are very very quiet.

mankyscotslass · 18/01/2013 10:51

Dusting of snow now here

crikeybill · 18/01/2013 10:54

crap rubbish snow here is South West London !!
We have pathetic tiny white flakes swirling around !
I cant tell you how disapointed we are Sad

PLEASE tell me it will get heavier it wont will it

Helenagrace · 18/01/2013 10:55

Feeling very smug here. DC's schools have just closed and are requesting that children are collected ASAP. Less than two hours they've been open!

Glad we called our own snow day earlier!

Willabywallaby · 18/01/2013 10:57

Loads of snow in Dorset, even Poole! Tricky getting boys to school and me to work, work closing at lunch time to will pick up boys on way home. Hopefully without incident!

Rain forecast to follow later Sad

snowflakehellokitty · 18/01/2013 11:02

So deep here took girls out on sledges still snowing too Wink
Gv 2 inches +

juneybean · 18/01/2013 11:04

Snow in Newcastle?! Nothing in Washington yet

ArkadyRose · 18/01/2013 11:04

crikeybill Worst of the snow has yet to hit London - give it another couple of hours and you should see a dramatic increase I reckon.
