[lewis028]

Just got back from work, 2 of my colleagues on there way in are stranded on the M20, only a few cm's here in basildon

[Yarmy]

11/10 here...we're finally being recognized for something (Burnham)

Ah, the fabled Tufnel snow.

[stewfox]

Yes, I'm in Mile Oak, which is about 3 miles West of Brighton, about 1 1/2 Miles inland , elevation about 75 Meters, If I can find my Camera I'll take a picture

sorry not doubting , I know elevation location can make a big difference.

where were the gritters ? why do we always get chaos not like it wasnt forecast

[yamkin]

It aint though Yamkin.

The front is not moving north andad the night goes on th wind direction is becoming less favourable for our area. Infuriating this really, I am ten miles too far north! Oh well, at least I should be able to commute tomorrow.

Yes it is

Hey guys, I'm from the sw but am in Horsham for the night, only just logged on, what's the scoop for tonight/tomorrow morning? Has it tapered off now?

[StLuke]

Really heavy again here, that plane wouldn't have standed a chance rochford was getting battered at the time and the cross winds are gale force!!

[Met4Cast]

An Easyjet flight from Belfast to Southend had a slight problem in the last 15 minutes. 4 times it circled the airfield including buzzing my house before it had to abort on its 5th attempt and diverted to Stanstead where it landed safely. I can only guess the crosswinds were to blame unless the snow is exceptionally heavy over there!!

Thanks for posting that, love things like that! Glad to hear it landed safely!

[Alpine glow]

Looking at the reports from Brighton(news) looks more like 1cm or 2cm. you on a high hill

A mile or two away from the actual shoreline makes a staggering difference. I am North Brighton and I can no longer see the kerbs.

[dubmuffin]

Those showers do seem to be filling in a bit now, and making it past London without dying off, so maybe we will get some decent snow overnight.

[Swave Snow]

looks like those cold uppers are aiding streamer flow into london area now front loosening its grip

[mulzy]

Amazing photos guys. Happy that some of you got hammered today. The SE part of our region was always in pole position.

Very cold and windy here. A few flurries in the wind but no lying snow.

-1.7c

Fingers crossed

There's more from the Cherbourg area coming mostly in a north-easterly direction, could be some good accumulations in the next 6-12 hours.

Anyone know the synoptic for medway tonight?

[95 Degrees]

Looking at the reports from Brighton(news) looks more like 1cm or 2cm. you on a high hill

I'm 1 mile west of Hove and with little elevation but we have at least 7-8cms, that new report must be incorrect or out of date.

[Captain Shortwave]

Still light snow here, it's trying to do something. Fingers crossed

[kate1]

Bullseye!!!

11/10 SNOOWWW

I'm really chuffed for you - bet you get to go sledging tomorrow! I'm really hoping the school's closed so my two get their last snow day of the winter (probably...)

Just wanted to say thanks also for your reply to my earlier post re streamers - for some reason my tablet wouldn't let me respond to your post, but it was much appreciated - am still learning loads but definitely feel marginally less stupid than last year...

[Tom Jarvis]

Just got home here 2.5 inches of lying snow!!! Will I get any more tonight???

[scrat]

The wind is incredible here .....and for once, it's not my hubby ;-). Let's see what tomorrow brings. Night all x

[Brocken Spectre]

I'm stranded M20 J1 - 2

[snowblues]

absolutely pounding it down.Beautiful

[TheGate]

-3.5c here. Just got driven back from Orpington station in a Land Rover. In places visibility was down to 20m or less. Strong gusts, heavy snow and drifting across the roads. Got about 3-4 inches here and still coming down. Stay off the roads around here.....

[Wet'n'Dry]

Global warming my A R S E !!!! It was warmer in February last year than it is now

Accident or weather?

It was the coast road glad to see the reports from Brighton suggest inland (even 0.5 mile) you are getting a hammering
