Had a decent fall overnight in Hockley, not so much here in Chelmsford. Where do we go after today? Looks like there may be a a couple more CMs today and night. What about the rest of the week?
Thanks. -

Did anyone else have to put a kettle of hot water on their condensate waste pipe from the boiler this morning? Yeah that was me at 6am this morning, as the boiler was making horrific gurgling noises. Fun. Not.
Hope you sorted it, not a day to not have a functioning boiler.

Pretty poor show almost 12 hours after rain was supposed to turn to snow. London barely seen anything settled anywhere.
I have to agree, especially with the Amber warnings in my area. Unless it massively ramps up in activity.
-
Heavier in Hockley, larger flakes and settling but only just.
-
Well, Rayleigh is in the Amber warning area but Chelmsford (where I work) is forecast to have a relatively dry spell tomorrow and Monday.
Just wonder what member's thoughts are? Thanks -
Does this pivoting improve the snow chances for Mid Essex?
The forecast on the MetO app is getting worse for this area with every passing hour.
-
Is the storm coming up from the SW going to affect our area with regards to precipitation?
-
I have not looked on the MOD thread and I feel better for it. However, it means I have no idea as to whether there is an end in sight for this cold, snowy period now. The forecast on my phone's app suggest that by Saturday/Sunday - the temps will rise??
Thanks.

No, it can never be too cold to settle but when it is very dry snow does sublimate i.e. ice changing from a solid to a gaseous state without the intervening state of being a liquid.
As it happens I see the cu is now building up more, the temp is now +1 C
, however the radar shows showery activity over Holland and the North Sea heading in our direction.
They can throw down Artic snow proportions into Chelmsford, just just settling! Very frustrating really and surprising.
Just had a persistent, heavy fall, the ground is now damp as it has all "sublimated" ... -

Pretty sure someone mentioned sublimation - think it's more or less evapouration straight back into the air but I'm just repeating what I've read, so probably best someone who knows their stuff explains it!
Que??
Do you mean it is now too cold to settle?
If that is the case, let just have spring - it is miserable. -
Need to be educated here! Why is snow failing to settle in Chelmsford? Just had a heavy-ish shower with large flakes but as soon as they his the ground, they melt! The temp is around freezing and dew point must be favourable??

I’ve waited years for a decent easterly and......it’s a bit cold and there’s a frost. Disappointed and embarrassed that yet again my excitement has got my kids’ hopes up and made me look foolish!
Yes! Kids are seriously miffed by the weather forecast "Where's the snow? Thought we were going to have a snow day off school ?"
What has been delivered as promised is a poor rail train table despite the lack of snow....

Chelmsford centre this evening at 6pm... Will it look significantly whiter tomorrow? ?
-
Had a "reboot" here in Chelmsford earlier whereby the ground dried off after this mornings snow showers. There has been a shower of polystyrene and .......it is all wet again
-
Chelmsford - heavy snow showers BUT nothing is sticking and it is getting awfully wet on the ground
-
Seeing some of the snow depth predictions for Tuesday onwards in seriously underwhelming, especially when watching the MetO's forecasts quote "persistent and organised bands of snow". Circa 5cms... Got more than that from the transient stuff bck in Dec! This is "The Beast" would be hoping for around 20cms.

I've been waiting since Jan 1987 for what I call significant snowfall
-
I asked this question earlier in the week - How do people see this spell potentially comparing with previous sold spells?
A lot more data and closer to the start of the event now. Something like 2010 or my personal cold/snow nirvana - 1987?
Thanks, -

What are the chances of exceeding a forecast like this, one of my all time favourites.......
Just doesn't seem possible anymore after the past winters during past few years

WOW ... Maybe we should leave the country now to save ourselves?

But, if you want to take a punt and potentially see some real convective stuff, then head my way (Southend) at the mouth of the Thames. Monday onwards.
Filling me with a lot of anticipation Southender, although I am further down the track in Rayleigh.

Do you mean it is now too cold to settle?
