Well...as predicted it has started, the snow began falling about 5 minutes ago and has already blanketed the surroundings in a thin layer of hope. I expect it to continue throughout the night and wish you all luck!
Pavements are lightly dusted with snow here in Wivenhoe but nothing yet.
It should pick up again later given the heavy snow forecast for the early hours of tomorrow morning.
Fingers crossed no school tomorrow!!!
