There are so many patches of snow about. Surely if the wind is blowing NNE some of these will push further inland and catch us 

That is a lot of pink .... but bone dry here in Chelmsford

Heavy snow, and settling!

I always wonder how the heck they Can accurately research that sort of thing , I mean it’s not like counting plants or trees, how can you know you’ve not counted the same one twice..?! ??

They have highly trained administ-ratters that count them.

[Dbarb]

Been very dark and overcast for an hour here, just had a 5 min light shower of 20p sized flakes so far

[Methuselah]

Everything is all white now. Except the road. It's like blizzard without the wind...

[alexisj9]

And this site is still sending these showers east lol.

Wonder what model that predictive radar uses, if the models are so wrong at t0 how can they be right about anything after.

Sorry a little random, but just wondering -  have the BBC switched over to this Metogroup? Only for the first time ever (well it's the first time that I've noticed) the forecast for my area on the Met Office website doesn't match up with the BBC one, and it's normally exactly the same. Plus, they've switched over to new graphics etc as well, so just wondering 

Yes, all TV forecasts switched at 1PM today; website and app should be Meteogroup but the roll out was staggered so some might still get MetO. On the website you can check if you scroll to the bottom.

show off...we've got some flakes coming down on the Essex Riviera, getting heavier now (now waiting for a covering a lot deeper than yours)

Temps dropping fast here. Down to 1.9c

Hope this bodes well for settling dnow later.

It would be good if some of these snow showers could pop over to west sussex coastal areas!
