Are we expecting any reasonable snow cover today?

Heavy snow in braintree essex
-
i bet it will all miss me by 6 miles......
-
arggh we seem to be just 6 miles to far north as everything is missing us in braintree. Must of got just another 1cm and places further south like witham get plastered!!.
-
ahhh diffrent school high schools closing ,junior still open
I can't imagine the junior school not closing anytime soon tbh.
-
ok ermmm in braintree here
got to walk 3 miles to get son from school later,couple of inches here so far
my question is are we likely to get much more before 4 oclock or should i think of getting him earlier.
Well they said they was closing so i would go get him now so he can enjoy the snow tbh.
-
i hope not my kids school has just rang to say they are now closing
I wouldn't worry too much as all it takes is a wiff of snow in braintree to close the schools.
-
well it looks like braintree in essex is going to just miss out on the main part but 6 miles further south in witham and chelmsford should get the 5-6 inches of snow.

I thought you was into the synoptics rather than the "now"....
-
If you looked at the model section tonight then you would have noticed an incredible ECM model run!!!..... Which was also almost a MILD outlier!!!!!!!!
-
O well looks like i'll miss out on the good stuff in essex tonight.... Enjoy the snow in SE you lucky people.
-
Its not the "models" that have downgraded slightly its just 1 model and thats the GFS which since its upgrade it has been acting funny. I would pay more atttention to the ECM and the METO for the coming week to be honest and start getting worried if they start downgrading.

I see Kent now has a warning for Thurs.

Fantastic for Cambs, Norfolk, Peterborough with warnings for Tues, Wed, Thurs.
Yeah don't rub it in for us in essex
-
Yes, but up to next friday the low is centred over us therefore no convection will occur midweek until the low moves south. Then i believe it looks rather like feb 2nd again. But troughs and fronts will give us a cm here and there until friday and then the fun really begins. Of course if it doesn't move further away again.
As far as im aware the main event has always been next weekend. The snow during the week is just a bonus.
-
Areas north of the river look to have the best chances for snow for the coming few days. Essex might well be on the boundary of that - the further north the better I would guess.
Kent and East Sussex also look to see quite a lot of snow too towards the end of the week, assuming that the models are consistent on output beyond midweek
typical sounds like we will be on the boundary for both those snow events!
-
Yes, but this is what we already know. It is just being made more official on television.
The area that they are highlighting is many parts of East Anglia and all eastern counties northwards to Northumberland and Durham. Basically the areas already highlighted on the watch/advisory
Clearly with the BBC presenters now broadcasting it they are very confident for those areas.
Typical I missed it!. Did they happen to include essex in the effected regions as i hear lots of posts about kent and Northeast anglia but nothing much about essex over the next few days.
-
I'm starting to think flooding is going to be a very real concern just on the southern side of the boudary for snow, where heavy rain looks like lasting a fair time. At that moment I'd guess that runs very close to the M4 region running eastwards, so London and Essex could well see some of the heaviest rain...of course if it all gets further shifted south then East Anglia comes into play for snowfall.
Which set of charts are you going by?. Would the latest ECM charts bring snow for Essex and london?.
-
Some small flakes of snow in the air in braintree essex. No idea what the temp is.

Looks like this could be much worse than first thought as New Zealand’s NIWA accused of CRU-style temperature faking!!!!:
The New Zealand Government’s chief climate advisory unit NIWA is under fire for allegedly massaging raw climate data to show a global warming trend that wasn’t there.
The scandal breaks as fears grow worldwide that corruption of climate science is not confined to just Britain’s CRU climate research centre.

sleeting here in braintree essex.
-
Around 4 inches in Braintree, and it's started snowing again now.
Yep thats the most i've seen in ages. I just hope the main event isn't sleet for us this afternoon.
-

-
