Things looking far more promising in central Essex at the current time. Just a very light dusting of snow overnight around midnight, which was disappointing.
Currently we are covered by a fairly narrow band but the precipitation is quite heavy. We have around 2" of snow in the past 90 mins, which i think is a good total in anyone's book. Just checked the radar - newly subcribed to this morning and there appear to be more of the same for at least the next hour or so. Having said that the snowfall is lighter at the moment.
Much happier!
Best of luck to those that are still waiting for snow.
