Night again see you later. Didn't expect to be woken by wind lol. Thought that was coming later on. Has the system come in a bit faster than thought?

I don’t believe so. Impressive to look at.

Snowing in Chelmsford.

I am in Chelmsford - looks more like sleet to me.

[Snipper]

Rain here plus a bit of snow. Can't see too clearly as Essex County Council can't be bothered to repair their street lights. Can hear patter of drops. 

[CanadaAl]

Looks like sleet in chelmsford. Doesn't look great for coastal areas

I’m galleywood and the snow has definitely turned to sleet , let’s hope it turns back in the next hour , temp still the same as when it was snowing 

[sgrech]

Just checked again and most definitely rain now :-(

Has the low pressure come in further north or south than forecast?

Are you sure? Only 1.7c here..

with a temp of 3.6c it was only going to be one thing, rain unfortunately here, those models over cook the snow potential for north london

I would say pretty spot on to be honest.

[Delka]

Don't have my hopes up for any snow here, should be around 8am by the time anything gets here and with being by the sea i think we're out of the game. Oh well, maybe a trip on the bus further inland may be fun this afternoon.

[Frostbite1980]

Snow line moving back south again peeps ?

Rain to snow the models have showed for London. Have a report of settling snow in EN5 north London.

I’m just about to drive from Cheltenham back home to Lewisham but All I can see is rain everywhere on route. Is the rain supposed to turn to snow over a larger area ? If it’s going to rain all day i’ll Drive back later.

Coming down heavier and 30 miles south it's rain

Just rain here in Slough, 2c and storm warning on weather station

[saint]

Just had a quick look out the window, seems to be quite heavy at the moment. 

[sgrech]

Wind is getting up and raining moderately, looks like a wash out unless the low changes its track :-(

Might go back to bed,

I think it'll come back around 9/10AM. Supposed to turn back to snow later on

It will turn, give it a hour or two at most. Best update yet for me..

So the 0530z BBC forecast completely ignoring what's going on out of the window.

Still reporting rain for the Home Counties.
