NE. Dead silence, nothing is moving.

Same here in Fareham, now snowing heavily again. 10cm snow depth.

M27 motorway has been snowbound for over 2 hours near Junc 9, people
are considering abandoning their cars.

This is quite, quite remarkable for my part of the World.

This is an extremely serious situation developing. The snow could go on for
hours looking at latest GFS, we are talking 40cm+ in places maybe. The wind
is due to pick up Weds morning and that could cause accretion on power lines
giving possible cuts. Be prepared for the worst this will almost certainly
be a spectacular event - well predicted by the Met Office.
