We are at snow mach 3 - blizzard stage!
Think this is going to be great for our region, the radar is looking brilliant with everything a lot further east than forecast. Some heavy returns moving up into south Essex moving northwards and Cambridge looks in the middle of a snow storm right now!
edit, haha just saw mb018538 post!
Where is the Snow below us going is it going straight up?
Had some kind of snow falling since we got up at 6:30. Horrible walking to school, snow being blown every where, bubs has world book day and went as Belle, but she should of gone as Elisa in the new dress we got from the Christmas short. Although belle went wearing snowboots and 2 jumpers.
Light blowing snow has intensified in the last hour to moderate-heavy snow here in the North London suburbs about 6-8cm on the ground with snow now accumulating on the main roads - bitter winds as well feeling even colder than yesterday with the cloud cover. Will be interesting to see whether we see a more organised heavier pulse of snow later on as if we do we'll be pushing Amber warning territory.
Can confirm that south essex is currently blizzard conditions!
We've been flurrying pretty much since 5:30am. Must have got a cm now.
Morning all, still snowing albeit lightly now hope you are all white - the A41 outside obviously got a covering of snow during the night but the traffic has worn away tram lines back to tarmac. Temp -3.9C - difficult to estimate a total depth of snow in these drifting conditions.
are we going to loose the snow is everything pushing up?
Radar showing heavy ppn yet not a flake in sight.
Funny thing...but the radar must be a bit tetchy today.....I've been under no echoes of any note, but it was certainly coming down a few minutes ago.
Looking at the radar I reckon it will last until midday.
Tomorrow we could be in the money and get a better covering. Fingers crossed.
What a nice Brucie bonus this morning's snow is. The heavier area of snow over Essex is moving North. But I think the radar is having a laugh showing rain out in the North Sea - the air temp from here to France is currently between -3C and -4C.
More bands will swing up from the south later today and into tomorrow.
If you zoom right out on the radar you can already see the PPN off the NW of France. That looks angry; can see why the red warnings are out for the SW - will be interesting to watch it develop.
Not sure what you are getting but if it anything like I am experiencing it is a long way off what I would call a blizzard. Certainly experienced far far worse.
