In fact it isn't....snow can fall accumulations on other hand.

Dew point is -4C the temp is hovering at 3C at the mo I'm getting a horrible feeling it is going to clip here.

At least it isn't the dry powder snow otherwise that would be even more excruciating if it doesn't hit you.

If it's any consolation, tex from friend in Bury ST Edmunds says it's still mostly sleet/wet snow. Ground soaking wet  

[TheGate]

Now below zero. -0.1c

It was forecasted to be a sleety mix near the coast as snow starved as I am I'll take anything that comes, powder snow in my location is incredibly rare. I would be most deflated if I ended with zilch. 

[Shutterbug Netty]

Just started snowing in my little part of Essex   Not much, but at least it's snowing!! 

[throwoff]

That radar return is edging closer..!

[anything-but]

Local station (couple of streets away) shows 0.8c and -4dp....bring the rain please!

Yeh I guess, we had 5cm here on the 17th January so I don't mind the fact it's going east of here as at least I got to see some decent snow. 

Update from bury: still sleet with a few wet big snow flakes. 

[slater]

after 10 mins off wet snow around 17.30 it's now just sleety rain so still 3years off any measurable Laying snow ahhhhh!

You lived a charmed life at your location in the SE 

at heights & slightly rural is worth 1c below most

we are moving this summer for one more rental before buying another house in kent

its got to be istead rise / meopham / vigo !

 

latest radar return consolidates just a slight weakened but importantly the continued protracted track is SSW...

temp here at sea level est 1c

[Iceni]

Snowing at CO10, quite fast - and they haven't gritted the roads, so fun times tomorrow. 

Where's the radar on here now?

I chose it! I love snow, and when we decided to move to Kent, I looked for height. 1 or 2c doesn't make a difference in the Summer, but can make all the difference in the Winter. In December 2010, we had a monster snowfall, when about 12 miles (as the crow flies) in Central London there was nothing.

Hoping for a small covering tonight.

I would hardly call Bury St Edmunds coastal! I'm over 15 miles east of Bury St Edmunds and it's been snowing here in the past hour. Now 0.5C and the next shower incoming.

Looks like the showers are going to fade a bit soon before picking up again after midnight. Anyone east of a line very roughly from Kings Lynn to Brighton I would say has a chance between now and tomorrow morning of seeing at least something.

[Vesuvius]

We have snow in Rayleigh...
