The radar shows something coming in from Northern France that will hit here around mid afternoon. Not sure what it is yet but I'm hopeful because its a good direction for us down here.

Feeling very raw here today in the wind, which is fresh to strong at the moment the temp is 5C currently.

The sky also has that snowy potential look to it so fingers crossed. 

Been snowing lightly here for about an hour now giving a covering. Still a bit left in places from Tuesday morning's couple of inches, so readily turning white again 

Ive heard you've put your "cock on the block" so to speak and gone for 3 inches

We had a period of snow, moderate at times this morning. Here in Arborfield the snow was not really settling, there was just a bit of slush on the grass and car windscreens. The car said it was +0.5C.

I then took my daughters to school in nearby Eversley, which is slightly lower down than here. There it was -0.5C and the snow was settling on most surfaces. Then I drove back to Arborfield, which was still green and +0.5C. 

Looking at the radar, I'm thinking this is going to be a bust. 

Very light now and nowhere near as good as the fall on Tuesday IMHO.

All surfaces covered though.

Well.....as I cycled in this morning, I nearly hit a lampost! (I should have been lampost watching to be fair, so I'd have less chance of hitting one). Anyhow, I digress....I was distracted by a fantastic looking anvil heading my way, complete with that 'burnt ochre' tinge to it! Yipee, first snow shower of the day is coming. Got to the office to watch it in comfort, and....yes, you guessed it! Feeeecking rain again! FFS

Maybe the Dutch radar will cheer you up?

Marginally.... 

That one word sums up winter 2014/15!

Light snow here

Nothing again here!! Grrrrr 

Foul here. +0.9C. Just had a rain shower. 

Just had a graupel shower rattle through here.

But it seems that the "epic" snow event I tried to forecast for my local area is slipping away before my eyes as the sun comes back out again.

Oh well, I gave it a shot. While it appears that I'm getting my Facebook group page forecast wrong, I hope my readers do understand how difficult it is to forecast such events and why I usually am reluctant to issue snow warnings unless it is deemed necessary.

Sleet.

There is a weak warm front heading south today hence the sleet/snow turning to light rain.

I would imagine there will be plenty of forecasters in the same boat Ian, even the meto if the " Thames Streamer " doesn't come off, i suspect that's what they are getting at with the talk of the Thames Estuary.

At least you don't go into hiding when these things happen  

someone has turned the wind on

really starting to blow now, air feels colder, sky looks cleaner, clouds taking that shower (convective) look about them.

...keep the faith Ian. We have a 12 hour window of opportunity ahead of us.

 I'll hang on in there.

Have to say, it is all very addictive stuff and at least my followers are being very understanding about it all.

Just had a brief snow shower but it was very wet and now the sun is out.

Dunno, Steve and Ian, the stream of showers in the North Sea appear to be fragmenting. I'm really not hopeful now.

I'm looking across toward the Thames Estuary way past Gillingham and something looks to be falling from the clouds in the distance
