Take it you got back from work to sunny Clacton okay ??

don't know about SE essex, But NE essex is doing brilliantly

yup its definately over here at moment, big flakes, not lightning up at all - settling fast

OMG, we have Massive Massive thick flakes, biggest all day by miles !!!!

Snowing lovely here now, gone from lightish to moderate the last hour, now settling roofs turned white etc. Think i'm right in middle of the band going from west-east, as long as doesn't sink i may see a couple cm,s

Norfolk, Suffolk are now orange in met office warnings

Hi ya, we now have a sprinkling around Clacton - only slight but covering quite quickly. Schools are shut, typical first day back!!!

And will it intensify if it does ??

Yup we've had a whole snow band crossing over us now, and not one drop/ flake. Frustrating when your waiting to be under the band whats not even there !!! wonder if Colchester got anything looked very dark towards that area a hour ago Never mind lets hope for more this next week

Welcome fellow Clactonian, That makes about 4-5 of us from Clacton on here now Hopefully will get some snow as we did before Christmas ,around here its a bonus if it lays, let alone lays for a couple of days. but heres hoping Donna -m

Yes I've experienced Thundersnow and never ever wish to again on 17th Dec 09 I was picking my 17yr old daughter up from her dancing group about 20 mins drive away, driving along the seafront the snow started and i couldn't hardly see infront of me-let alone the road i then had to drive across the marshes what where nearly unpassable due to blizzard like conditions. But i managed.I just reached a main when it started flashing blue around me, all my electrics died on my car yet the engine was still running at the same time a electric blue went across my windscreen- my thoughts were i'd been hit, clutching to the steering wheel with dear life the lights and electric all came back on in the car. I finally got home after what should have been a hour round trip after two Everyone was talking about the thundersnow as much as the snow as its something unheard of hear, and so is laying snow!! The next day i went to go to the shops to do the last bits of xmas shopping when again all my electrics died along with my car, so my poor car ended up getting towed to the garage. After a anxious wait the garage phoned to ask what had i done to the car !!!, The battery was fried ( all cells totally emptied) the alternator was fried, All the wires in between !!! I don't know if thye car got struck by lightning that night or if i was in some kind of electrical field .But all i know is that i have never been so scared in my life and so glad to get home and after 9 yrs of waiting had enough snow to build a snowman with the kids

Will these showers filtering over the next few hours have any thundersnow with them like the pre-xmas event ?? As much as i love snow, blizzards and general cold weather, i don't really fancy having thundersnow again. yes it brought lots of snow and we had total white out within 10 mins max. But it also cost me alot after my poor car got struck by lightning frazzling my alternator, battery, and all the bits in between !!!
