Just wanted to show you the snow lanterns I made last night - they stayed alight for a few hours:
-
Hello, not sure I would like anymore snow this week lol, OH has lost 2 days money as it is, as nice as its been having him home, bills still have to be paid!!been out and about again today in Basildon, more photos, taken midday today:
-
Just in from work (very early finish for us) hardly any one on the roads, car temp is saying 3 degrees, main roads clear as anything, side roads turned to slush, still lots of snow on ground with no signs of grass peeping through yet lol. What a fantastic day its been, better than I could have imagined last night, apparently son was in bed just after 6pm absolutely shattered from all the running up hills and sledging back down again.
Oh and on Essex FM they have already announced list of schools still shut tomorrow - which amazes me!
-
Me and OH have both just said how much colder the house has gotten and had to wack the heating up again!!!!!
-
Still snowing in Bas thick and fast.
-
Right now in Basildon its snowing hardest its been so far, cannot see the town buildings again, the snow my son wiped off our bannisters an hour ago has been replaced with another inch already.
-
Have spent over 4 hours in the stuff today, playing with the kids, we rushed to sports world and brought the last sledge as they opened their doors (they could have made so much more money, if they had been prepared) then found the lovely park near us with big hills and have played to our hearts content, red faces, sore legs and tons of calories burnt up. Been snowing constantly here now with no let up for the last 3 hours, here are some pics:
-
We have about 3 inches, its beautiful out there, I woke at 4.15am and it was bucketing down, really blowing a gale too! its so nice to have this, even if it means OH cannot work and earn any money today, seeing my sons face and so excited is worth it.
-
Well thats it for me tonight, as much as I want to stay up and watch it getting thicker, I need my bed, now do I set the alarm for school run tomorrow or not lol - been fun, hope everyone here gets a nice big downpour over night xxx
-
Looks like a lot more to come in the next few hours
-
Link for the lightning strike earlier, shown in slow motion at the end:

sorry about that lol must of missed it, Im in Burntmills, starting to snow heavy again now...going to be atleast 6-8 inches by the morning :unsure:
I work near Burntmills (Hovefields) looks like may have trouble getting there tomorrow evening for my shift, as its a mare trying to get out of our turning when it snows - not that I have had that problem for a few years!!!!
-
How is this possible :blush: :lol:
Pleased for you, really I am, but Crikey I am stumped, have not seen a proper Flake, COME ON GOD DAMMIT
Still got those nasty pesky Snow Grain Polystyrene Thingermejigs
I cannot understand it either, I will scoop some up and store it in my freezer and send it to you tomorrow if I make it into work (work at TNT lol).
Spoke with a friend who lives on the cliffs in Southend and he had some earlier but not a lot.
-
hey where bouts in basildon are you?
its been great for basildon tonight, and loads more to come :blush:
I asked you this earlier lol, but let you off as the threads are moving so quickly. I am just off of whitmore way, quite high up I can see into town centre, and when we get a big blizzard the lights of town dissapear.
-
big big big downpour right now in Basildon, sky is so bright atm.
-
Some latest pics, still snowing lightly, saw the moon about an hour ago but that dissappeared quickly, the sky has been orange most of the night so far:
-
Right I am off to watch Lost for an hour - be back then to see whats happening for us all x
-
Latest pic in Basildon:
snowing still:
-
Woah hang on! let's draw on all that experience now... It's 20.05 - there are 9 hours before tomorrow morning for you to get your showers. don't panic yet.
I can understand what Paul is saying, because he is literally 15 mins drive from me, he has said what he did have has melted, when we have at least a good 1-2 inches here, its strange because in the past Southend way have always seemed to have more than us in Basvegas.
-
Im surprised by the Rayleigh, Leigh on sea peeps not having any, we have just had a really big downpour in Basildon, I am quite high up and can see into the town centre, well I can normally, I was putting my son to bed when the sky went orange again and the town lights dissapearred where it was snowing so heavy, good covering all over now, can still see some grass but not much.
-
I did exactly that last night and I'm so glad I did! Its so worth it! Watching the radar is great!
How much is it and how do I get it? cheers x
-
Our footsteps from half an hour ago on the decking are now covered, its chucking it down out there!!!! My kids never really have experienced what we used to get when I was a kid. Its amazing though how my daughters friends on MSN are already saying that their school is shut tomorrow rofl x
-
My Oh and my son just went running out in the garden - really not dressed for the occasion and I couldnt resist grabbing a pic lol:
-
Can anyone post a link to a radar that I can watch for the next 24 hours, just looked on BBC website and they have it that right now it is raining - idiots, although from 9pm onwards it changes to white white and then more white for tomorrow. Thanks x

Just in from work, this time last night I had to scrap the car off before I could drive home, tonight, parked in same spot, didnt have to, feels warmer and temp outside here in bas showing as 2.5degrees. Still got my snow lanterns intact and quite a lot of snow on the ground, infact my kids school, where it had been closed and the fact they didnt let them on it today, still looks really lovely, how I want to climb the fence and run around like a loon all over it lol.
