It's snowing heavily here now. The sky is full of the white stuff tonight, dread to think how much we'll have by the morning .

How dare you say that. 

radar looking good forming into lines and heading west lovely jubbly

Looking at the radar it seems that Chelmsford might just get in on the snow action (I hope!)

[Sno' problem]

I can see the London area getting some snowfall out of this. There are some nice strong pulses of ppn appearing in the Thames Estuary and off the coast of Essex now.

First signs of light snow, lightning to my SE.

Big sferic Clacton

Certainly more organised shower formation getting going now.

And more of a horizontal flow too.

Some action on the cards in otherwise less prone parts-previously...

And streamer unlikely....but certainly not out of the question!?..

As the winds pick up tonight I reckon these snow showers will penetrate further inland than the last 24 hours.

I always feel there’s an umbrella over us in Chelmsford!!!

[Sno' problem]

And here I was hoping to get an early night tonight!

It looks so much more promising than for ages tonight. The next few radar runs should indicate whether the Thames will increase convection, but it is looking great so far, with the showers starting to band together to the East.

I can't see that happening tonight. You should get at least a covering. There is a nice blob heading towards you and you have the perfect wind direction to blow ppn through from Maldon.

Meanwhile, the ppn that is affecting N Kent is expanding as it moves West and has spread to the North of the Thames by Tilbury.

if I hadn't seen the 1157 pm forecast I was just going to bed

[Robster]

The radar looks better for London with every run. Let's see how far inland this can get.

EDIT: Expanding as it moves West... Very nice set-up now!

Hopefully it won't die out. I feel for the the snow starved inland, must be really frustrating to say the least.
