Here on the North Downs in Surrey conditions are becoming difficult with the
wind picking up and snow blown horizontal. It has been snowing mostly all
day but it is all happening as far as lying thickly above about 150 metres
or 500 feet. I tried to get to the higher part of the Downs on my way back
from an afternoon engagement but the road was becoming treacherous so I
turned back. The conditions at the top of Botley Hill 267 metres south of
Warlingham must now be extremely interesting with drifting now starting in
earnest.
Altitude really shows today with the bottom of my road with hardly any snow
at 80 metres and quite a cover 3cm to 4cm at 160 metres. A couple of miles
further north and into London nothing at all.

Hi All.

Been snowing steadily here in West Wickham, but not settling due to
earlier
rain. Has now started raining, but I expect as temps fall later, will
turn
back to snow, and will hopefully settle.

Anyone got any reports near to me?


no where near you but we had snow blow across the yard here in South
Cumbria
about 4:30pm.
No sign of settling, only lasted about ten minutes but most we have had
all
winter so far
