Glad some of the essex lot have had a short burst and seen some snow at last

[Buckster]

snowing here in chelmsford too

[Daniel*]

Wind is from a ESE direction - I gather this is is why some are reporting snow.

[Captain Shortwave]

The snow has just about stopped now. A dusting on the rooftops, cars and grass. A decent result in the end to be honest.

I did get a couple of pictures on my phone so I will post them later.

Thought it was all over, but moderate snow just started again.

[Team Jo]

Big fat flakes in Hutton this morning, looked like it was settling.. Had to go to work

[Essexgooner]

Had some wet snow here this morning and thats about as exciting as it got, haha

[PLANET THANET]

wow,you'll never believe it,but i got nothing,again.what a cold spell this was,not

Me neither,we could join the club of "no show snow" if it existed 

[Timstar1]

Some snow this morning here in Hawkwell, Essex but very wet, still nice to see it falling!

 

Looking at the forecast there is seems to be some hope for us overnight into Friday morning with light snow from 2am - 6am on a NNW wind direction and temperatures around 0 degrees.....  Any thoughts on this?

 

First post so Hi everyone!

[Kent Blizzard]

Really please that loads of you have had snow this morning.... hopefully that calms the frustration a little bit?

Some folks were like small spoilt children keeping on asking same questions and throwing there toys out the pram lol

[Heisenberg]

Naff all as expexcted

Isnt there going to be a new thread soon? Or are the mods going for some kind of record?

[Captain Shortwave]

I will probably start a new thread this afternoon, get the last of the snow out of the way before a clean slate so to speak.

Light sleet/snow again here now, edit moderate to heavy again now, interesting how these patchy clumps seem to pep up as they cross the Thames estuary.

Temperatures and dewpoints hovering between 0C and 1C so it is when the moderate to heavy bursts when the precipitation falls as snow.

I am pretty sure they got snow in Northern France last night, why is the South-east always the sandwich filling and never the bread?
We had some sleet about 1am last night but other then that nothing,

[John Snow]

Nothing, and wasn't really expecting anything

There is still a hope for tonight, would be good to see even a dusting before this spell ends

[Jo S]

still nothing here, stayed on here until 1.15am, got up twice to peek out of the window,, just cloudy here, dp 0, temp 1, fingers crossed once again for something today 

[chionomaniac]

Sleeting in East Grinstead.

[BLUNT]

Yes got snow as well, heavy then light the wait has finally ended

[alexisj9]

wow still looks dry out side, and much colder than I thought it would be this morning, cloudy with temp of 1.1, dp -0.4, not bad considering kent where expecting the front to warm things up a tad.

[TheMoonman]

Just threw it down for about 30 minutes on the walk to nursery. I have never seen my son so excited!

Good idea. Can you call it "Pray Friday has a massive turnaround" . Bone dry Saff W, you were right to move ;-)

TEITS, did you get any in the end?

[Snowman.]

Snowing!!!

[john mac]

Temp 2.3c

Dewpoint 0c

Still nothing here!!

[TEITS]

Dull overcast nothing again in London...wasn't expected so not disappointed.

 

To be honest I don't want snow if it is all going to melt the next day anyhow!

 

ECM Day 10 chart is interesting....cough

Im the same. One of the reasons I love snow isn't only to watch it fall but a snow cover that lasts a few days. I especially like the period around dawn when it looks magical outside with snow cover.

[Paul Sherman]

East South Easterlies rarely deliver for the Coastal Parts of SE Essex due to the SST's in the Tepid Bath (Thames Estuary) and thats what occured here which is why there are hardly any reports from places within 5-6 miles of the Estuary/Coast. Just goes to show how much of a knife-edge situation it is for our part of the world, with Bas Vegas (6 miles to our West) and Chelmsford (10 miles to our North) reporting snow.

 

The 22 month wait continues for some parts of Essex!

 

Drizzly cold and yuk here, we really need those strong North Easterlies for this part of the world it seems.

 

Lol and then Southend reports snow as I was posting! Mad Mad Weather!
