6-7cm here in NE Colchester and coming down nicely, probably heaviest spell we have had in the last hour or so. Temp has defintiley been above freezing as snow has started to slip off cars. However I cant see any dripping anymore. Still not settling on roads. Pavements have partial cover.

Coming down alot heavier here now. White roads and pavements.

Good shower currently here. Approx 2 cm covering

Whilst I appreciate it's only the app it's still good to see!

80-100cm of snow in the SE is farcical at best. That's a couple of times a season dump for high ski resorts. My head says we should expect obligatory downgrades in the days to come and we end up with a chilly, but mainly dry spell with some snow around. I'd be happy with a decent covering that lasts a couple of days would be good. My heart says bring on the 3 feet of lying snow!

Only an hour ago it was all rain in ardleigh!

Slight covering here

Starting to snow 2/10

Looking at the radar there looks some reasonably heavy precip heading into Suffolk/essex. Met office app just updated to show heavy snow for the next couple of hours! Not holding my breath

Well I have woken up to the grand sum of a dusting on the grass, cars, roofs etc. Still snowing lightly

According to Essex Weather Centre's response around 30% of members bring 'real cold' to our shores.

Edit - I'm not superstitious, but just noticed the time I took the screenshot!!

Another apparent let down in the chase for cold with the UKMO seemingly calling it right. I for one am enjoying the roller coaster though. Huge spread in the 6z GEFS. Nothing decided yet. I bet the UKMO flips on the 12z this evening and the EC/GFS go mild. Seen it so many times here in the past when the only model that goes against cold becomes the only model for cold!!
