Watch the GOOFUS correct the low west in the 12z run. I still am not believing until it arrives.

Are you a typical Essex girl? Grammar less? Lol ;-)
Lol, nothing typical about this Essex girl!! My grammar is fine, didn't want to embarrass myself somewhere down the line by saying "Oh, you are from La Minge, are you?" or "How's things in Me O Pham?"

Two locations I see on here often make me wonder how they are pronounced: Lyminge and Meopham, anyone able to enlighten me?

my kids still go to Heycroft
My kids left there decades ago! My daughter was born in November 1981, I remember there being record levels of cold at the time! I was too hot in the delivery room so opened all the windows, midwife was not happy!
Lol @ Paul S, I remember The Maze as a building site, I think there used to be a snooker club on the corner!!
Blimey, too long in the tooth here!

i'm not worrying yet
Yay, used to live there, off Whitehouse Road, kids went to Heycroft!!

There are several roofs remarkably free of snow around here. Lack of insulation or rather more nefarious activities going on in those lofts?

There was no further accumulation overnight, in fact there was a bit of a thaw early this morning, but things are changing here, temperature is dropping, and there are tiny grains of snow falling, no more sleet!
Last night I let the cats out onto the balcony to investigate the snow, two of them (the eldest two) absolutely not interested, one of them sniffed at it, not particularly bothered, the other one, she sat down in it and was most reluctant to come in. Never seen a cat voluntarily sit in snow before! Strange animal!

It is very dark here, ominous even! Something flying around in the breeze, but I gotta say, it looks very much like sleet! No no no no no!
How's things at your end of the river, Shrimper?

Hang on. Southend snow shield breached!!!
Yay, the opposing team has come out onto the pitch!

It has been snowing lightly here for hours, but doesn't seem to accumulate, I am not sure that I can measure the dusting we've had! Currently much larger flakes falling, but not anything coin sized! Temperature is falling now at +0.1.

Still snowing here, but I'm becoming convinced that it's the same bunch of snowflakes just whirling around in the breeze!
Temperature is slowly rising, +0.2 here atm. Going for a nap, can't take the pace. Hopefully I'll be woken by a dull whoomph, that'll be 8cms of snow falling on this location!

Really not looking clever for us south essex guys and girls, by the time it eventually reaches us it will be sheared to death and bugger all left on the front. Someone from Basildon or Rochester give me hope!!
Just another reason for me to hate this god-forsaken place!

Looking further ahead. I am wetting myself and I expect Paul S and the rest of the Thames contingent are, at this wind direction on Sat afternoon, for a good 24 hours...
Cor!!!

Oh er, snow is definitely getting heavier and the breeze is stronger too, road is starting to turn white!

It's just got to snow in Southend, Mum simply won't believe me if I tell her I'm snowed in at South Ockendon and won't be visiting tomorrow!

let's just say it doesn't look quite the same this morning!
Hopefully it will look entirely different again later on!

Morning CD. Check out my pictures from Davy Down. They have got lost on page 3 of the last thread from last night in all the excitement!!
Yes, I looked at them at some disgraceful hour this morning! Stunning piccies! Yesterday was a lovely day for a walk there, wouldn't attempt it today though!

Did your snow gauge get reposted, Steve. Snowfall is slightly heavier here! Yay!
CD

Ah OK, thanks for that Jayces

very light snowing falling here!
Quick question: Where the sun didnt thaw the frost yesterday, it has stayed put, but there hasnt been any more frost overnight. Why would that be?

Phew, just caught up with the postings. Am I too late for the Depth Cup?

We battled GFS on netweather, ECM on metiociel, UKMO on weathercharts.com! We have seen countless smaller models have their day in the sunshine but then fade away! We have ushered in the highs of a SSW, tasted the lows of uber lows and mild zonality! But today......today we will taste victory!
Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Heck, that's almost Churchillian!
Morning peeps!
-2 here, very light snow falling. I thought it odd that where it stayed frosted all day yesterday is still frosted this morning, yet no frost elsewhere.
Would it be possible for MKS to cut and paste Steve Murrs' snow gauge in her opening post, so it's easy to refer back to?

My back garden still has thick frost. It gets virtually no sun in Winter.
Yes, much the same here, sun sits behind the trees out the back for much of the day, so in shadow, and of course the building casts a long shadow out the front too.

I'd compare it to a smear of Clover in your sandwich! I'd need an electro microscope to measure the depth! I've a sneaky feeling you've kicked a goal in!
