dunno. I’ve just measured almost seven inches here so in the line of the streamer in the cold of the forest… who knows? 

Seems very localised in East London. Just a couple of miles away in Walthamstow I doubt it's 7cm let alone 7 inches!

good lord. and from nowhere 24 hours ago. 7 inches is a LOT

I think that’s the event concluded here. An exceptional event for my location and the best since 2010.

We didn’t have that much here, but this is from Chingford up the road:

I would say a total of 4 inches here in Beckton.

Well Stansted airport is shut  not surprised we must have 10cm now and still hammering down. Probably the most snow I've had here since we moved from north London over 8 years ago.
 

Presumably, Stansted will be open again tomorrow? I'm due to fly from there in the afternoon.

Yes hopefully by the afternoon.  Still hammering down here though 4 or 5 inches I should think.  Good luck.

Just a little rain here 🙁

Thanks for the reply. Fingers crossed I'll be OK.

It’s not a streamer; looking at the radar it looks like a frontal feature. 

ita agonisingly close to here now, only a dozen miles to the east and intensifying again.

Really good snowfall from about 5:50-9:15....at times some of the fattest flakes I've ever seen.

Have a good 2 to 3 inches (estimated, not got the measure out)  but can hear some dripping!!!! Not sure if that's due to the fog expected to roll back in overnight?

After being at -3C earlier this evening things have warmed up some what to 0C with a slightly negative dew point. We've just had our first shower of Rain with a bit of sleet here in Mid Suffolk.

This is going to be agonisingly close for our region.

We have, I estimate, about 7-8cm so far. Still snowing steadily but the radar suggests just another hour or so left.

A couple of the high res models were very accurate, as was the UKMO high res model with its midday run.

yep. Crazy amounts here. Epping Forest in the morning is going to be fabulous.

Looks like a small amount of elevation has increased depth by 30% or so with the temperature a degree or so above freezing at sea level although air may also have been colder a bit futher north. The temperature was just below zero before it arrived here so the only downside if I wanted to be picky was it ruined my ice day!

---

Still snowing heavily with around 5 to 7cm of snow.
An amazing amount, best December snow since 2010.

There has been no thaw with temp -0.9c and DP -2.6c wind NW.

---

Snow pepped up a bit been snowing for about 5 hours or so. 

About 8-10 cm

It's petered out with a final moderate burst with some bigger flakes. 

Turned out to be a very good event for this location. One of the most wintery days I can remember from -5C and snizzle and freezing fog in the morning- afternoon to 4-5 inches of snow in the evening. 

So, after being awoken by some heavy rain (drumming on the flat roof), I soon drifted back to sleep. It then turns out that for the first time in years I've awoken to an unexpected snow cover, barely. And yes, there was just the faintest suggestion of that lighter look to things as the lamp post reflected from the snow.

The temperature reached 2.6C in the heavy rain, then fell back to 0.8C as presumably it turned to splodgy snow.

It's now 0.3C, dew -0.1C, with more echoes on the radar headed this way.

So here, in all its glory, is the Leysdown snow. Amazing eh? 😄

EDIT: Those radar echoes, though weakened by the time they got here, turned out to be light fluffy snowflakes. It's melting on impact, but there's that faint rustling sound that I remember so well.

Arrived in Central London for work probably about 5 inches in Stortford then maybe 6inches in Harlow lots of abandoned cars. M11 was ok going south but still big queues going north . Snow stayed thick until central London really.
