    Not much going on in Chelmsford here? Radar looks naff until much later in the morning due to that gap?

    Incredible performance from the ECM. Expectations should be managed though. As someone said, it would surprise me if the ECM were the first model to pick up on the overwhelming cold retention. Don’t get me wrong I’m excited as much as the next person but more verification is required. I rarely post but the model watching and twist and turns of late has been truly fascinating.

    Just heard my first rumble (and I've already had lunch).

    Yep, westerly skies here in Chelmsford are slowly turning a weird shade of grey/yellow....apocalyptic not quite, but something interesting on its way....
  5. Essex Boy
    Love it! Takes me back a few years!
  6. Essex Boy
    Give it another couple of hours to reach maximum gust levels. Biggest gusts/winds really reserved for the coastal areas though.
  7. Essex Boy
    Yes, completely agree with what others say about the stronger winds being further north than what is being suggested by the current MO warnings. I've attached a map tweeted by Essex Weather which demonstrates this and in more simplistic terms too!

    Had sideways hail here around 30mins ago. Looks like another band of rain and whatever else passing through now!

    Strong gusts here in Chelmsford. No idea how much, but the sound against the house is really loud.

    About time the Met Office gave us an amber for wind in the SE. I was amazed they didn't put it to amber yesterday. Bit belated if you ask me, although I appreciate they're having their work cut out down in Exeter at the moment.

    And yet this event seems to be not as widely publicised as Jude was (if you consider the general SE media bias).
  12. Essex Boy
    That's an epic chart!
  13. Essex Boy
    I don't know why the wind warning is yellow only and not amber. Based on what peeps are saying and general agreement on models, surely it should be an amber wind warning for the South?
  14. Essex Boy
    Odds on favourite!

    Expecting ambers from the Met Office later today for the Mon/Tue storm. It will be interesting to see which parts of the UK they think are in the firing line...
  16. Essex Boy
    Supposed to be doing a winter bbq later on today. Think I might have to do it in the garage!
  17. Essex Boy
    Yes, the earlier you start your drive on Monday the better I would say.

    Hmm, does this mean no upgrade to red then? I was quite looking forward to seeing that on the MO as it's not often you get to see it. Still can't rule out some nowcasting and an upgrade to red later as it remains clear that it's difficult to get a precise handle on things. As it currently stands, the Southernmost parts of the UK are in for a jude awakening.... (get it?!).

    First rumble of thunder has arrived! Very long lasting too
  20. Essex Boy
    Nervously awaiting the arrival of the storm here. The so-called calm beforehand right now and still dry but hoping in around an hour or so the party will begin!
  21. Essex Boy
    Is that it then? Absolutely zilch. Not even a dusting here in Chelmsford. I thought we had to 'be prepared'. I give up chasing this white stuff now. Despite a plan B for Sunday, my glass is officially half empty.
  22. Essex Boy
    Yep all very dissapointing here in Chelmsford. Had some sorry excuse for snow flakes about an hour ago but then fizzled out and now nothing.
  23. Essex Boy
    Fine flakes of snow has now arrived in Chelmsford. Just been outside to put the rubbish out and the dustbin lid was frozen shut so I think it's fair to say that it's pretty cold out there!
  24. Essex Boy
    Nothing over this way, but then not expecting any just yet. Think Essex have another couple of hours to go.
  25. Essex Boy
    Awesome - thanks!!!
