I see there is a severe weather warning for HEAVY snow, up to 5cm ;-) , for
most regions Midlands southwards, for early hours of this morning. Issued
2231z. Must be expecting some intensification or a " just in case" as we've
had in the past.

...... but the main map may be a bit misleading e.g if you click on Eastern
England, Luton and Hertfordshire are the most Easterly and for London and
the South East it is mostly Western Home Counties.
Kent being threatened for Thursday though, probably similar to just after
Christmas last year.

Heavy snow up to 5cm?? Do the MO know what heavy snow is? Even with GW.
Once agiain the North misses out on the warnings. If they are applicable
from the Midlands south, why not here?
Anyway, we have white rain falling and standing on grass. rooves, roads. It
must be about 1 - 2 cms deep and is not running away.

"Snow falling at a rate of 2 cm/hour or more expected for at least two
hours."

Current radar returns indicate 2-4mm/hour, which, if taken literally,
translates to 2-4cm/hour of snow.
At 2345Z the rate was briefly 4-8 just south of the Humber.

Only patchy rain for me, since i'm low ground in the south-west

Seems to have been spot on. We had about 5cm overnight in Cranleigh,
Surrey.

Yes, thought it was pretty accurate. I did stay up till 12.30 am plotting
it's progress on the radar and thought it would come a bit further East than
predicted. Ended up with about 1cm here.

Spot on for South Oxfordshire, we had 5cm this morning in a low lying
area. I think that is the deepest snow we've had for about 4 years. I'm
sure the Chilterns just south of me had at least as much if not more.
