East Anglia & South East Cold Spell Discussion

[yamkin]

Very lightly snowing here now!

At last GP, Still snowing here

[Guest North Sea Snow Convection]

Still have patchy light snow covering from the 2cm snowfall on New Years morning. Since early evening there have been light snow flurries and a dusting of flakes over cars and road surfaces. Hopefully a bit more to come tonight

We will still get quite a lot of snow from Tuesday night for about 48 hrs non stop and then a slight pause and then more snow. that can't be bad in my books.

IF that is going to be the case then yes I'd agree. Just hope I see it too ;-)

WOHOO!!! Very Heavy , the road at the bottom of our hill has vanished in snowfall

[hobbielancie]

Bloody BBC Look East they just showed the cold front coming down and then showed it falling as rain over north norfolk, come one it's snowing now

Take no notice of Look East, they haven't a clue. They always downplay it. The Snow is coming don't worry about that.

We wont be going anywhere tomorrow unless someone uses grit , we live on a steep sloped hill

Where is your location?

Good to hear it has to be said, cloud cover from the shower heading up the thames has really prevented temps from dropping to ofar so my location tomorrow will probably get upto around 2-3C, further inland, esp the Midlands, I can only imagine an ice day is on the cards up there.

Where is your location?

North East Kent

RMC I think Slough does almost as badly as Bracknell does.

Full moon here or full to the eye at least.

18z does reduce the snow risk next Friday. Ensembles in agreement with that too.

C'mon man, you're a photographer!! Now don that Berghaus and snow boots and get out with that camera and get us a few frames!!!!

G'wan you know you want to, and put the kettle on so you can warm up when you get back inside!

[Paul Sherman]

As LeighShrimper says max depths around the Southend area are about 1cm so not so shabby for a start to Cold Spell Part 2.

Neil I would have thought you might scrape 3 Inches (7-8cm) by the time the last dregs of that shower train has passed through, which again is a great start.

Anyone think by next weekend we might be on Part 50

C'mon man, you're a photographer!! Now don that Berghaus and snow boots and get out with that camera and get us a few frames!!!!

Lmao , the flash will wake up half the neighbourhood

[Paul Sherman]

Winds in North Kent have now swung around more Northerly in the last hour so places like Hythe and Folkestone might get an extra surprise in the next 1-2 hours if that big shower near Whitstable and Herne can hold it together.

Amazing to think Southend got a cm and my location didn't even get a single flake, both showers decayed right before reaching my location, thats why my location needs a slightly stronger flow then we have currently.

Saying that still very cold but cloud cover is preventing temps from going down too much, typical!

[Brocken Spectre]

Brace and slow shutter......... gwan! Flash only lights up the flakes and makes your lens look minging!! LOL

No excuses now, might be all gone in the morning!

[Snow Queen one]

Neil has stolen all my snow lol. The wind has changed and that big shower is going to miss me awww that's a shame never mind my son will be able to get to school tommorrow so not all bad lol

[yamkin]

Cheers Paul...The caveat being, IF the shower can hold out...

[PureOcean]

Here on the beach at Whitstable we have 2" inches officially now (sorry only give measurements in old money!)

[Neilsouth]

Well this has made up for the CRAP 2009 , unforecasted heavy snow is always the best

[yamkin]

Tomorrows Daily Mirror says it is the coldest in the UK for 30 years and the Big Freeze will last for 15 days

My Kids would get to School even if I had to hire a Snow plough!!

You can actually hire them from snow-plows-direct.com..................think they are American though.

Being off School, college again due to the Weather is enough to make any Mother wince.
