level snow in the garden measures 31cm. This is deeper than the snows of
Feb 1991 and in Jan 1982. I am fairly confident that this is the deepest
snow here since Jan 1963! Still snowing slightly.

The M25 seems to be in a state of chaos SW of London and it is clear why
given the snow depth which is quite remarkable.

Just had a brief sight of the sun through thin cloud here but now snowing
lightly again.

I'm impressed. How much did you have in Jan 1987? Here in Cranleigh,
I think that occasion was the deepest we've had since Jan 1963. Here in
Cranleigh we currently have a measly 7cm or so, though even that was
quite enough to produce chaos on the roads.

Interestingly, the BBC Weather just commented about another 4-6 inches in
places in the south-east. We could be pushing to beat Feb 1991 amounts for
some, if not beaten already ( Peter's measurement).

Days like this make me smile, not only because of the weather but as a
lovely yah-boo sucks those who said global warming would mean we wouldn't
get notable snow events (oh where are you, Danny of West Kent!!)

I see that Peter's measurement is now included in the main news story on
www.meto.gov.uk

Indeed. I remember arguing with him many times that a warming of a
degree of so, while it would make heavy snow rarer, certainly wouldn't
mean that it never happened.
