Looking great in the latest radar runs... Good convection, reports of lightning and a definite Easterly component in the Thames Estuary. 

Another late nbight, but worth it this time I think!

It was a matter of time... It is going to take a lot of people by surprise tonight.

Wouldn’t worry too much about that, it looks like we may have showers moving into the London/Essex area.

Maybe 4 or 5 inches to be honest.

Not bad. i confirm a Beasterly here after that. I have seen worse but so far. exciting.

I think they might well extend the warning. Time will tell, but the ppn is far more intense than last night.

I wouldn't rule anywhere out in regards to getting these showers, though coastal areas will see the highest totals. Intereting that thunder and lightning is being mentioned. This suggests some real decent convection off the north sea tonight.

Interestingly I did get an email from work regarding snow, interesting that it was today and not a few days ago. To be honest most of us dismissed it but maybe, just maybe there have been thoughts that tonight could get exciting.

Does seem like convection has started. Before now was just 2 min snowfall every hour for last 48 hours. That blizzard was awesome. good hour long.

The blob near Maldon is holding it's strength as it starts to move Westwards... The wind does seem to have changed to more of an Easterly. Looking promising still.

Sounds like some interesting developments with the 18z GFS in regards to the low at the end of the week! 

The jet has changed and stayed further south - means cold is staying for longer - snow situation for our region still not clear though, could mean main precip stays a bit further South and fizzles on Friday. One to watch. Never known charts to change mind so radically in a short space of time

Recently lost power here due to a really heavy snow storm and associated lightning. Thick snow on the ground here now but thankfully power is back.

Yes, at the moment it looks like the further south and west the better. However, as you said there's so much change going on it could easily be very different come tomorrow! 

We've also got tonight and tomorrow's snow chances anyway first!

Yep lights were flickering in the pub.  Real nice to experience this again. I was very negative yesterday. Blown away today.  Brancaster is the place to be tonight. it is still chucking it down.

Been very heavy snow in Norwich for the last few hours - quite a few cm's already! Loving this and still coming down!! ?

Hope it continues overnight but I'm naturally pessimistic. Would like another snow day tomorrow. :D
