Snow Watch Part 2. Return of the Excitement!!!

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

Apologies to those in Norfolk who may well not be excited any more!!!!
This a continuation of This thread and is for model watching, forecasting and general excitement

Off to look at the models (and get dd up) back in a few minutes with latest thoughts!

Dd2 is 4 yrs old tomorrow
Dhs parents were meant to be coming down tom morn from hull don't think that they will get down

Building up nicely in Warwickshire. Several local schools starting to announce closing at lunchtime.

Arcady will the north of West Sussex get any of that which is yet to hit London?

Thanks for that, oybbk gave me hope for us and cheered the dc up as they were sad this am.
Anyway we now have loads, hooray, and schools closing at lunchtime! Cannot wait as get all pm to play in the snow. Have sledges at the ready!

Worst of the snow has yet to hit London

What do you mean? There's at least half an inch out there! FLEE! SAVE YOURSELVES!

Oh Arkadyrose I really hope so

Looking out my office window we just have swirly,tiny, flakes. Its settling on the roof tops, we I say settling its about 2 cm
But the roads and pavements are just wet.

Huffs.........

I had to drive DS2 to college this morning, as there were no trains running out of Wimbledon.

He's done his exam now, thankfully, but college (Esher) aren't making a decision about earlier closing until 12.30.

Snow is light here, but persistent. TBH at this rate I'm more worried about the temperature - currently minus 2 - and ice forming on the roads.

Bugger !!!!! Snow stopped and the sun is out now. Is is possible to sue the Met Office?

Has been snowing here (Manchester) for a couple of hours now but isn't sticking particularly well. Roads and pavements wet rather than snowy mostly - however, Met office gives us a temperature drop to -1C at noon so may stick more this afternoon.
% chance of precipitation this afternoon is increasing

Nothing at all here yet :(

Where are you Megmog ?????

I have a horrid feeling ours will stop soon in S.London

Those of us with snow - rulers out at 12.30?

Crikey I am in Newcastle upon Tyne, it's all starting to cloud over now though and getting a little bit dark, I love it, more exciting than anything ever. Bring me lots and lots of snow, got 3 days off work and nowhere to go. Here's to a snowy weekend.

Still nothing in York. Probably wont stop people continuing to buy all the food in the supermarkets though....

Bah. Back to tiny flakes here. Got about 3cm altogether. Can see on the radar heavier falls just petering out about ten miles away before reaching here.

It's like a hotdog stall that turns out to only sell the buns :( or something.

Grumpy now.

Heart of Kent here and nothing yet..............daughter at University in London has reported snow there tho so ever hopeful it is heading down.

It began to snow here S Herts, between 9.15 and 9,45, but like pollen not snowflakes.
When we emerged from the dance hall early at 11am, it had stopped and the sky is lighter. But is a very wet snow which will freeze in the night.
Still -1 outside my house so wet snow will not melt.

Tiny wispy bits of snow here near Colchester. It's not enough, damnit! I want a snow weekend with my DH and DD and dont want my MIL to be able to visit!

Ha Ha Skang, that's just too funny, my fingers are crossed for you that you get MIL repellent snow.

Huge flakes and blizzrady here now.

We've had nowt of note here in north-east Derbyshire - snow from Monday still lying, snowed yesterday evening, but just a few icy flurries here today.

However, DH is at work actually in Derby & says it has been chucking it down with snow for a couple of hours now! Normally it's the other way round - we get 6+ inches of snow while Derby just get a dusting.

MIL repellant snow! Have a mental image now of the Giles cartoon Granny battling through blizzard conditions to stand grumpily at your door.

4 inches here now, been snowing since 6pm last night.

Cheshire. Seems to be stopping now. It snowed last night leaving a dusting. It's been snowing non stop for a few hours this morning but it's not heavy snow, just little snowflakes swirling around. The sky's now much lighter and I think it's going to stop. I can't get back with my ruler at 12.30 because I'm supposed to be working so I've just had quick look outside and reckon it's no deeper than 1.5cm. This time yesterday we were told to expect at least 10cm.
Bit of a damp squib all round for us here.

Saddleworth here, and not doing much at all.

I think this Weather Event is going to turn out to be a None Event.
