So near, yet so far… gutting to see the low just slide along the channel today, when we were the right side of marginal. Fingers crossed for February we’re due a decent dumping !

Still keeping an eye on the low down south, although it does seem very unlikely now all models are siding with a southward shift, we have seen lows modelled shift north/south a further 50/75 miles during a nowcasting situation. This should come into view later tonight. If i was on the south coast, i'd still be feeling optimistic...

Been feeling very seasonal today. Took the kids to the first Christmas outing seeing Santa, feeling very festive with frost lingering and feeling very cold. Not bad for the second day of winter! Freezing fog still lingering and the fire is on… onto the next chase

Showers popping up again in the North Sea, parts of Kent may see a dusting soon

Still holding out putting the central heating on, have lit the log burner for first time this evening, heating the house up lovely.

Rain turned to sleet and steadily turning to snow now in Benfleet

Snowing heavy now in Benfleet, starting to lay on paths. Roofs and grass already covered. Any signs of transition in southend?

Started off as rain in Benfleet but turned to snow around 5am. Nothing settling. Seems to be getting a little heavier now.

This is going down to a nowcasting event as it pretty much always is with snow, I wouldn’t hang everything on every single model run. All eyes now on the radar watching the track..Good luck to all, il be driving to work near city airport around 5am watching with caution..and hopefully turning back around

Low is fast approaching, I wonder if we can get any sleet/snow on the front edge?

Heavy 50p size flakes falling settling on main roads too. Should be a good few hours of this to go too

Rain turning to snow now, awaiting the big fluffy flakes..

Sleet just started here in Hadleigh, Benfleet..

Looking at the radar, models have underplayed this low, would expect to see some disruptive snowfall this evening, wouldn’t be surprised to see an amber warning out once the band starts to pivot, we shall see.. exciting radar watching everyone !

Interesting little feature sill popping up for our region on Sunday afternoon, one to keep an eye on
