.....I've not heard much.
Or are conditions [u]so bad[/u] that news has been unable to travel any further than Basingstoke (with its convenient motorway link to the epicentre)?
Interestingly, the predicted depth increased during the evening yesterday 😉
10cm in woking. F'boro looked like it was getting more when i left.
Snowing now.
I'm about 8 miles north of Basingstoke and we have 10 inches and its still snowing a little...
Can't tell what's on the TV news as the SKY dish is covered in snow 🙁
5 miles south of Farnham
over a foot since 17.45h last night , still snowing...
Some places, yes I imagine there is that much.
We went out riding from Farnborough last night and by 9pm parts of Cearars Camp in Aldershot had 6-8in. I got home and there was half that. This morning we have 6in at home and 9in at work in Farnham (I did measure it properly too!), so I have no doubt there's above a foot where we were last night. So 30cm+ easily I reckon, yes.
SW London - saying we've had five centimetres would be being generous.
It is coming down like dandruff now though so we may well have another millimetre by the end of the day... 🙄
[i]over a foot since 17.45h last night [/i]
A measured 30cm or
"about this much >.................................< ?"
Just slush on Brighton sea front..
7 inches on my drive near Leatherhead, Surrey
about 4 inches in the peoples republic of swindon, reports that rape and pillage instances are down are yet to be confirmed and what with burglary season in full swing I'm expecting martial law to be announced by twelve.
About 2 inches in Befordshire.
About 8 inches in Wantage well a mans 8 inches 😉 it is still snowing though.
10" and counting.

It's possible he's got that much yes, it varies wildly within a mile or two, and it came up from the south west, so it's believeable to me anyway, sitting here with a real 9in in Farnham.
Fair do's.
So allowing for the inevitable exaggeration it sounds as if there has been a dusting 'down south', if not in that London.
6 inches and counting near Bracknell and still snowing, need to get to Swinley later!
about 2cm in chiswick this morning
why do the news have to call it the WORST snowfall in in years id say it was the best

I just stepped outside the office here, stuck a tape measure into the snow at random and saw this -

But will the postman get through with the parcel I have sent for you?!
OH NOES!
Im in Fleet and its well over a 12 ins deep on my car roof.
sweet **** all in SW1, but the way people are telling it, you'd think that the country was degenerating to a tribal system of bartering, commerce had ceased between tribes, and that we've been reduced to pre-stone age levels of civilisation. FFS.
A good 6 'incher' at the foot of the "Tox".. 😆

Zulu - Yup, that's noticeably more than we have here in Farnham (Quarry at the bottom of the A331) which is about double what I have as home in Farnborough. 🙂
PP - Yeah, the extra couple of hundred feet up to here makes a difference - and its still snowing!
Suffolk (not quite the SE) nothing. Just the half melted remnants of a few days ago. It isn't even [i]that[/i] cold though it has been getting a little brisk when the sun goes down. Am stocking up on ammunition to keep the hordes of refugees orf moi laaaand!
Thats just a light frost compared to what we have here in South Staffs... 🙂

Now sow us the pic of the missing bottom 45in of that tape measure! 😉
40cm in Aylesbury!
Well at least thats how deep the pile I cleared off the drive is 😀
Probably actually had 10-12cm, mostly early yesterday evening.
There's a light dusting that fell off the roof of a car here in Cambridge .... still we can but hope!
I can walk to work though AND have VPN access so there is no such thing as a snow day for me 🙁
Holy cow as I pressed submit the first flakes started - they are pretty pathetci though!
It is snowing hard in Bury St Edmunds now so Cambridge can't be that far behind.
As I predicted about about an inch and a half in Hampton Court never the less no trains and the world has stopped. Hour and a half waiting for a train at Esher before I gave it up.
FFS.
Visibility down to about 20 yards now. The horses outside have turned white. I presume their owners will remember to take them inside later.
A good inch has fallen since it started snowing about 10 minutes ago.
I guess the people stranded on the A3M for 12 hours might argue that yes, the Apocalypse did arrive at 17.00 yesterday. It snowed very heavily for hours and whilst the depths were not huge the speed it came down caused ttraffic to stop very quickly.
The Army was mobilised to the 1000 odd cars that were stuck on a 20 mile stretch of A3 from Havant to Hindhead. They could only get a few people out at a time so lots spent the night in their cars. All the feeder roads were blocked so the snow ploughs couldn't get to the A3.
On my commute this morning there were still around 50 odd cars , lorries and vans on a 15 mile stretch of the M27, abandonded on peoples commute home as the road ground to a halt.
We've got between 200-250mm depending on where you are here in the souh Malverns, but it has stopped now.
where in south staffs is that cus in north staffs (stoke not moorlands)there's only 8cm,20 mile up the road there's 15-20 and 12 mile east in staffs moorlands about 30cm!
