Here's 2 pics one looking SE and the other NE
The first one is looking SE at the snow band which is hopefully coming this way
Are you located somewhere near Constable Avenue?
From walking this morning, it appears our depth of snow is less than it was yesterday evening, even though we've had something of an overnight top up and no thaw. Obviously rate of compaction was higher than the rate of top up.
-
This is interesting. Note the recent movement of the band. I like the fact you can zoom in here too.
-
the wind can blow in different directions at different altitudes, so at the height where the clouds are forming the wind could be NW while nearer the surface they can be NE...
Yes, sometimes you can see this by looking at different cloud layers, eg shallow cumulus at a low level and at a higher level altocumulus or cirrocumulus - they can often be observed moving in different directions.

Yes, going to Mauritius in a couple of weeks, so wouldn't appreciate the devastation if it hit there ( not withstanding the strife to the locals! ) Thankfully shouldn't be an issue.
An impressive storm indeed. Is 905mb close to a record for the Indian Ocean?

Does anyone have any idea if Danbury/Maldon Essex are likey to get much snow in the next 24 hours...i live in a village squashed between the two,so eithers forecast will do..
many thanks in advance
My opinion is that with the current direction of the showers, you've got too much of a fetch of land - the showers develop over the sea and gradually decay as they pass over land. Therefore I wouldn't expect much before late tomorrow, when the weather pattern may change. ( now I've said that, you'll probably wake up to a massive covering
)Do you have much snow now?
-
Id love just this one to see thundersnow , i havent seen it happen in years!
Haven't seen this for about three weeks!
-
sweet hoping for one or twelve to just flare up.
Looking at the latest, you'd be very unlucky not to get a covering tonight
-
where abouts in kent do you think?
regards chris
It looks most of it'll be just to the west of you, with the north coast getting the worst, but to me it looks like the activity has recently got more intense over the North Sea, so something could flare near you with not much notice.
-
Kent looks like it's about to get a load of heavy showers.

Hello all. I've been coming on this site for a couple of weeks now.
I love everything to do with the weather, it is very interesting.
I just wanted to know if we are going to get light or heavy snow hear in luton this weekend?
I've had a look on the met office but it always says the same thing!
I thought I'd ask hear as you all seem to know an awful lot about the weather.
Thanks
This is going to sound a bit glib, but it's probably best to wait till tomorrow, as there seems to be lots of uncertainty.
To stick my neck out, I'd say you'll get very little until after dark on Saturday, but if the frontal zone develops, you will get a few cms during Sunday.
-
Car yesterday afternoon and this morning.
I'd say a good 3 or 4 inches fell yesterday eve.
-
Off to bed now. Looking forward to seeing what daylight shows.
Cheers to all correspondents today. It's been fun.

Well our local one for Suffolk (which isn't so far away from South Norfolk) was completely zilch. Julie Rein-whatever: Friday and over the w/e, snow showers confined to the odd shower on the east coast before they warm slightly on Monday, but less than a minute ago News 24, snow over a wide area all over Norfolk, Suffolk as far as Bedfordshire. This is the same Corporation
!What is going on?
I saw the same forecast by Julie Reinger - particularly unimpressive for tonight at least.
-
Hope you are all enjoying your snow
mostly clear sky here with the odd cloud floating past but not producing anything
Temp -5.8c at the moment.
Think I will head to bed soon as this snow event is really not meant for the wisbech, downham, peterborough triangle lol
Have fun all

From BBC forecast, the way I read that is you might get in on the act tomorrow.

STILL SNOWING HERE IN CLACTON GOOD COVERING ON TOP OF WHAT WE HAD ALREADY
Yeah, it's funny. It looked like Clacton was going to be on the eastern edge of the shower, whereas it's bullseyed.
Still snowing here, but radar suggests imminent halt..
-
Still nothing here
To my untrained eye, it unfortunately looks like passing to your east in the main. I guess the big towns of south east Essex are in the firing line.
-
Shame to leave that out in the cold
The layer of snow will protect it from the frost!
-
Picture of car today. Just before dusk.
Will upload new picture in morning - we've had lots of snow this evening and it's coming down hard now.
-
It's started now.
Between Colchester and Clacton.
-
Clouding over now, but no snow yet..
Neighbours must think I'm going mad!
-
Looks like I'm right in the firing line!
Nothing quite yet though.
-
Always interesting.

The winter of '63 certainly wasn't sub zero all the time. I think the very coldest time might have been between about 15th and 25th Jan, when it was mostly continuously sub zero.
I think the mean CET Jan temperature was -2.1C, which was the coldest month of 20th Century. February 63 too had a negative CET. Feb 1947 had a CET ( I think) of -1.9C
Certainly a very impressive winter, but it had brief less cold periods. So I imagine we'll cope with this, whatever.

To be honest, I thought that was what might happen. It seems to be a developing trough.
