  1. In my opinion, it would be very unlikely that a general band of snow would extend from the south and cover all of England as far north as Lioncolnshire, without consequence - I'd then expect southern England to then get sleet / rain, then milder drizzly type weather.
  2. Wind has picked up here in last half hour. Not sure whether light flurries or blowing snow.
  3. If I lived in your area, I'd expect the chance of snow to be higher than where I live over the next 24 hours. However, due to the unpredicability of the weather, who knows? Fingers crossed!
  4. Not sure, as it wasn't my original post. I think it might have been from a BBC region further south than here. We have the 'pleasure' of Julie Reinger on my local BBC. I'm sure she just repeats what someone tells her parrot fashion. She even explained the first tranche of this cold spell as 'originating in Belgium' last month. I'm sure I sighed audibly.
  5. It's back down to flurry level now. Not sure if this means your stuff is still on the way. Have notived that we must have had a very small amount of graupel this morning too, by what's lying. It's interesting in that Brightlingsea had only half of what we had here yesterday at a maximum ~ < 2 inches versus about 4, when it's literally 2 miles as the crow flies and they didn't have any rain.
  6. Hopefully, as clouding over Looking at the radar pictures from 8 o'clock, it seems Colchester had more snow than just a little way east.
  7. Yes, looks like the shower we had an hour ago in north Essex is due to hit you.
  8. Excellent! He was one of the best. Just the fluke of weather presentation shifts caused his reputation to be unfairly tarnished.
  9. Ditto me. When I was skiing ( when fitter than now ) Couldn't see my feet or my brother who stood next to me. Ended up being blown along (just had sensation of movement, without seeing I was moving) Inevitably crashed. Surreal and very scary.
  10. Snow has JUST got much heavier. No way a white out though. How many here have experienced a true white out?
  11. Carol Kirkwood called the feature, coming into Norfolk, a polar low, at 6:15. Wouldn't there be a major blizzard if so?
  12. I'm one and thanks! It's great to see the first proper spell of winter here since 1991 - I missed the February stuff last year, but I was told the snow wasn't great where I live.
  13. No worries It's great to find a forum with weather enthusiasts! Have been a weather geek since a young kid in the 1970's - sparked by a big storm on 2-3rd Jan 76.
  14. Kold and Shrimper ridiculed the Met Office forecast earlier. What do they say now?
  15. Just back from six lunchtime pints in Brightlingsea - delayed bus back though! Can definitely say that Brightlingsea has had at least two inches of snow less than where I live, even though it's only a couple of miles, as the crow flies.
