Some high level cloud appears to be creeping in. May stop the temps getting as low as they could.

Think I filmed it Mate around 1130pm last night? 

Been out to Belfairs Woods and done some B&W Photography. Stunning over there 

Yeah around 11:30 I think (Roughly) big old flash to my East/SE. Your vid isn't playing mate?

I can imagine how stunning it looks over Belfairs.

Great picture from yesterday out in Shoebury/Gt Wakering (Poynters Lane for you locals) yesterday’s snow melt was splashed up onto the bushes by traffic and created some great ice sculptures in the frigid air.

Lovely finish to the cold spell last night in Southend. Some real heavy showers early hours depositing another couple of inches. Certain I saw the odd flash of lightning as well out in the Estuary. Could of been the overhead lines on C2C though I guess. Proper finale though and proper convection at last. Shame the whole spell couldn’t of been like that, but no complaints from me. On we go to the end of Feb. Can we squeeze one more cold spell in...

Just been on a 2 mile walk over Cherry Orchard Park so luck to have this a few hundred metres from my house. Saw a Barn Owl and Green Woodpecker but they were too fast for my camera skills. Closer inspection is about 5cm on grass. 

Western Approaches looking dicey mate!

Mate you missed probably the best snow so far.

Easterly, surely?

No they’ve shifted slightly more west. All day I’ve watched them slide to my east within touching distance. But now it’s evident they are moving back closer to the Essex coast and into the Estuary.

[South East, London and East Anglia regional discussion - 8th February onwards]

Definitely a more Westerly shift with the showers now. Just had a shower pass through Southend.

[South East, London and East Anglia regional discussion - 8th February onwards]

I’d say there’s a brief window between 00:00-06:00hrs of snow showers moving more along the Norfolk/Suffolk/Essex coast then the Thames as winds swing more NE then E/ESE after midnight.

These blokes are always at it on the pistes of Southend and Leigh when it snows!

Frost hollows doing their work

Really? That’s got to be very wrong.

The BBC is showing -10C very widely across Surrey, but I think they are assuming snow cover.

I’d go for somewhere across the pistes of rural Suffolk to hit -10c

[South East, London and East Anglia regional discussion - 8th February onwards]

How low can we go tonight across the region? I’m going for somewhere nudging -10c if skies stay clear.

Any chance for later?

Can’t rule out the odd shower between now and tomorrow morning. But they will be light and few. Wind turns more ESE tomorrow so it’s all over from that point. All about how cold the next few nights will be now.

this is going to be torture if the showers don’t clip Great Wakering / Shoebury, just watching them head straight into Kent.

That’s exactly what is happening I’m afraid mate.

Proper convection looking east from here sliding just offshore, Faversham to Maidstone and Sheerness you are in for a very heavy spell of snow in the next 90 minutes

Our blobs are still just about on track mate....Foulness giving us a bit of intensification I reckon..

Yes agonisingly close

Sheerness to Canterbury and on through to East Sussex

To be fair this was my hit zone that I expect to get the most today. Coast Hugger then onto North Kent and the Central to East North Downs then exiting out into the Channel somewhere just east of Brighton

We may just catch the edge of it mate. Hoping for a bit of help from Dengie/Foulness.

Hold together god damn it

Needs to build on its Western edge or its going to be a near miss perhaps!

[South East, London and East Anglia regional discussion - 8th February onwards]

@Paul Sherman that's the one we want...ETA 11:30 if it holds?

Halesworth to Southwold about to get another good few Cm's in Suffolk, they really are in the Jackpot zone this spell

Nice shower moving into Southend and Shoebury, this was what I was talking about earlier with local differences of just a few miles

Saying that it’s now snowing heavy here lol. Best of the spell! Big flakes.

And .........Its stopped just not enough longevity in these showers ah well

Frustrating isn’t it. There just hasn’t been enough instability around to tip the showers into the heavy category for any length of time during this spell.
