I think the radar was showing something but not sure anything was making it to the ground. -
I think it's because the air is so dry at the moment so little visible frost even when well below freezing.
-
I am under those pink blobs to the west of Colchester but nothing is falling from the sky.
-
A bit too much cloud around for a really cold night here. Only down to -3.1 in the end. Obviously the cloud isn't thick enough to produce any snow just thick enough to stop the temperature falling too far.
-
The ECM looks similar to GFS and GEM I think. Pivoting the system up across Kent then pulling something across East Anglia as it moves away. Not sure it will amount to much but you never know. I think we need one of those the weather ignores the models and does it's own thing situation to help us out.
-
Briefly made it up to 1.5 this afternoon. Already down to -1.3.
-
I'm looking on wetterzentral and it doesn't look as good as the charts posted above and it doesn't show any accumulation either. These look like the best 2 frames 3 hours apart. But it's a start. Let's see if ECM can improve on it.
-
GEM seems to be the keenest on something across our region on Wednesday. Again pivoting the system into Kent and dragging something in across East Anglia. The others are pretty much the same as previous runs, GFS just clipping into Kent. Icon and UKMO, a bit further south.
-
Temperature bang on freezing after a low of -1.9. Lovely and sunny
-
Just to keep a bit of interest going the GEM pivots Wednesday's low up across Kent. And ECM moves if further north running along southern coastal counties.
-
Looks pretty similar to the previous run to me. Almost exactly and rather implausible hugging the exact contours of the south coast all the way along and not really making landfall.
-
Just got a notification from my weather station that the temperature is below 3 degrees. It's starting everyone.
-
Would be interesting to know how many were showing the snow heading into France when the ops were keen on disruptive snow getting up as far as the midlands.
-
Still 4 degrees here. When's this cold air supposed to arrive?

The further further outlook hasn't changed for days but means nothing really it can change to a milder outlook in the blink of an eye. -
Ok getting desperate now but GEM has something getting pulled into Kent and East Anglia north of the main system on Wednesday. No accumulation of snow shown so probably nothing to get excited about.
-
Yeah, looking like February after reading the met office latest long range outlook.
-
GFS as well. Think it's a bust now.

Not a great update. -
A few days ago the most unlikely scenario was that is was going to miss us and head into France. How things change. Only the GFS currently really interested in sending it north enough to affect our region.
-
0600 runs from icon and GFS both move the snow slightly further south. Icon now misses so only the GFS has anything at all for our region.
-
Met office mention the possibility of light snow in the south on Wednesday. See if that changes later on.
-
The ICON and GFS show the best chance with the snow running along southern coastal counties then pivoting a bit in the east and pushing up across Essex. GEM and ECM take it further south just clipping up into Kent. The UKMO isn't interested keeping it across northern France. Still not resolved, we live in hope.
-
The trend has been to move the snow risk north today. See if continues tomorrow or moves back south.
-
GFS similar to the icon maybe not quite as far north. GEM and ECM slightly further south in the channel. UKMO furthest south with the system still across northern France.
