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.

It has already been a 'spectacular' event up here.
Unfortunately *not* well predicted by the Met Office.

Just been out to measure it here, Stephen (2245). About 9cm on the car.
However, the temp has risen to +0.5 in the past half hour, and it feels like
there are some rain drops in with the snow at the moment.

Snow depth currently measures 20-21cm here in nearby Tilehurst, 4 miles west
of Reading, Berkshire at 2345z - still snowing steadily. Very little wind,
so little drifting.
