Light snow here to start the day, nothing of any significance overnight though with the sepths the same as when I went to bed.

Will be interesting to see what happens cos that rush up from France looks to have got pretty stuck in the Channel and even decaying, although some looks to have edged in a little towards the SW coast when watching radar

It's been flurries all night here dropping down to light flutters but no further depth, we're still on a BIG oooo 2mm, if that!

Nipped outside for a few mins and wind has picked up a fair bit and what little there is has been drifting

[lassie23]

Very cold wind blowing this morning, icicles on cars too

[stormmanic]

Light snow falling again. That wind is.a killer!

[tinybill]

That stuff coming out of France could give as some big blizzards  perhaps a new weather warning coming!

BBC news are showing diddly for our region, pretty much all sweeping west. Confused.com

Maybe they are not using the latest info yet?

Met Office morning forecast also showing nothing but patchy snow - looks like a significant downgrade!!!

[snowblind]

Radar seems to be showing precipitation building across Essex. Dry but cloudy here at the moment -4.7

This region never looked anything more than patchy snow for today anyway.

Its no downgrade - it’s no upgrade I’ll go with!!!

yes, not quite understanding the radar returns at the moment - local radar showing moderate precip over SE Essex but there is nothing dropping from the sky - even the METO forecast is unrealistic.

The ppn in the north sea is turning nw..and gaining strength.  The other blob seems to be pushing further north. And east than expected

[Team Jo]

Think the radar is struggling with the amount of snow being blown about by the wind hence the false returns.

its actually snowing very lightly here but it’s goig sideways not down because the wind is so strong. The main chunk of snow potential isn’t forecasted to reach us until after mid morning I don’t think.

Same, I check the radar to see if it's worth checking the window and it's all lies!

That wind though, so bitter.
