Enjoy it everyone and keep an eye on any elderly relatives.

Going to work now, won't be able to post (much) but will have the radar open :-)

Light snow in Leatherhead (Surrey) at the moment - settling a little everywhere by the looks of it (that'll be the low dew points then). Noticed the roads were really well gritted on the way to work today - even the minor country lanes had been gritted!? Well done to Surrey county council for once (normally they are completely hopeless).

[Downpour]

Just saw the bbc weather

No downgrade there

Great - missed today's frames by a few seconds!

[Buzzit]

We have dandruff in Twickenham - though will very soon be a lot better (now where's that shampoo ?)

[Flaked Queen]

[Ruby000]

Light graupel falling and being blown around in the wind.

[Coast]

Light snow started in Benny Hill, Mid Sussex - they're here Mommy !!!!

[keke]

Forecast from Carol Kirkwood was definitely a Carlsberg moment.

[Hammer]

The M11 seemed like a point that didn't allow PPN to pass last night.

On the predictive iPhone thing from METO seems like front again stalls for a while before moving past for example light snow in St Albans now, be interesting when here can report same.

[CrimsonSunset]

woooohoo just started in central/south London

[Kentspur]

Small balls of snow falling in Dartford

[fluid dynamic]

How did you know i just got up?

Don`t think the motorbike will be going anywhere today!

Job done

And errrr my motorbike is staying put too

[NO LONGER POSTING]

From making this post it has really started to come down now! Everything nice and white

Just a bit of fun. Enjoy.

Come on people, get your entries in. Think I'd better make cut off point 9 a.m, as snow starting to settle already!

Tom.
