Yes, lots of ups and downs obviously. I Keep checking the met office forecast on their website, not the most accurate, but it's stayed pretty much the same for my location for next week temps 5 or 6 maxes and 1 or 2 at night. Mostly dry except Monday when rain is forecast. So despite all the excitement in the model thread I would say cold - yes, frosty - possibly, snow - no. That's for here anyway. I guess we'll see what happens.

Threatening sky to the north west with rumbles of thunder. Not sure if it's heading this way or not.

Yet another fantasy thunder storm warning from the met office. 15th time lucky? Doubt it.

I see the metoffice are trolling us now with another thunderstorm warning, 14th for me this year I think, and not one thunderstorm has occurred. I just ignore them now.

Been under 7 thunderstorm warnings this year and not once has there been anything resembling a thunderstorm, had some rain on occasions but not even that the weekend just gone. Even yesterday's forecasted heavy rain failed with only a few spots not even enough to wet the ground. Seems we get all the heat and humidity, Saturday was ridiculously humid, but all the storms were further north again. Had one storm this year and this was when I wasn't under a thunderstorm warning, ironically. But nothing like storms of the past when there were regular French imports several times a year. Never really had too many homegrown storms in this part of the world, from what I remember, it's the imports that don't seem to happen anymore.

Quite a lively storm just clearing north Essex. Some 30 mins of pretty heavy rain and decent thunder and lightening. Still rumbling around now and raining lightly.

Reached me here in north Essex. Not even under a thunderstorm warning today and the met office app says less than a 5% chance of rain

Rain looking a bit sleety. It's 2.7. But it's basically a cold wet miserable day.

Bigger flakes now. Starting to settle on grass and cars. Hoping to beat this mornings 1mm.

Snowing quite heavily. Not settling though.

Nope, got used to it over the years so take every post ramping it up and all those fantasy snow charts with a bucket load of salt. Set my expectations low so as not to be disappointed.

Every now and then there's a little burst of snow. Just when it looks like getting a bit heavier it stops.

Same here, I'm right on the eastern edge. I could literally walk a couple of miles down the road and be out of it.

The most snow I found on the school run this morning. Still snowing but the wrong side of marginal to settle much.

I guess this counts as snowfall, just....

Wow! You've done really well. Looks amazing.

Slight dusting on rooves, grass and cars. Snowing lightly ATM. Automated met office forecast going for mostly rain and sleet today even this evening when it was showing a period of heavy snow yesterday. Every time I look at the snow charts posted and think wow that looks amazing and every time the reality is considerably less amazing.

Even a little bit of altitude makes a difference

Ooooh but just noticed an 80% chance of double snowflakes between 8 and 10 tomorrow night..

According to the automated forecast on the met office site I have a 30% chance of a single snowflake at 6 tomorrow morning...

Yep. I reckon we will be too far north tomorrow and too far south Thursday/Friday.

At least there is a dusting of snow. Is that Ivinghoe Beacon?

Oh no! Now I'm just inside the northern limit of the warning. It's the hope that kills you.

I know I said I would be looking at the met office forecasts to try and get the best idea of what will happen this week, but I'm really struggling to see this happening. Outlook for Thursday to Saturday: Staying cold with frosts overnight. Risk of disruptive snow and strong winds to occur on Thursday and Friday. Saturday daytime looking drier and brighter. Updated: 04:00 (UTC) on Tue 7 Mar 2023 This is from my regional forecast, east of England but the south east England one is similar.

I used to live in Hemel, not too far from there. Used to love going up there. Looks stunning in the snow.
