Essex Chelle

Woke this morning to fog horns at sea, love hearing them but must say I am excited now about upcoming event, about time us close to the Thames people get a bit of action!! I must have known as I just bought a AWD car too!!

Rain Today WWW.RAINTODAY.CO.UK That band off the coast Cornwall is that going to hit us in south east? Or is it tracking more Midlands?

Hope someone shuts the flood gates around the island too

Currently the heaviest rain weve had so far - canvey island

My friend just departed Caen in France sailing to Portsmouth - I dont envy her one bit

Thanks for posting this I've been able to warn a friend whose just joined m1 heading for liverpool

Tonight chelle goes into work no snow now gonna warm up bit next week - boss says no it's def gonna snow tonight I say no no no- just looked out office window.............. ❄❄❄❄❄❄

SNOWING Canvey Island

Feel bit embarrased I asked what a Thames streamer was earlier as I've just seen tomorrow is my 10th anniversary of joining the group

Have a look now - settling on the beach.

Cornwall

When aThames streamer is mentioned- what does it exactly mean?

Left work 10.15 in basildon good covering on cars drive home to canvey it's seemed to be thicker falling from sky but cars had less coverage. Been home half hour now and my car not covered as much as it did in 10 mins in basildon- sea air? 0 degrees on the car dash.

Snowing in basildon nothing like the pretty flakes on Tuesday though

Outside my work right now in basildon- it was beautiful snow fall so pretty to see proper fluffy flakes.

Just phoned home its raining in canvey yet in work in basildon lovelybig flakes settling every where

I'm at work in basildon it's literally just started light flurry

Yay finally basildon has light flurry just started

Driven Basildon to canvey back to Basildon and in that time temp gone from 5.5 to 4

Keep seeing winter 1947 mentioned on this site and well ive just been in to town got talking to a lovely older lady I warned her of the up coming very cold temps and to make sure she gets prepared and not to leave the house next week. Her reply was "my dear I lived through the winter of 1947 I still managed to get into work in the city by steam train snow was in 20ft drifts in places" bless her - but I'm taking this as a bit of spooky coincidence she mentioned that year outta all other years she has seen heavy snow

Hubbie went out in car 30 mins ago now windows are covered again. Seems to be finally settling after last few hours of no inch-age!!! Garage roof and bbq are covered too. Canvey island ❄☃❄

Nope def not settling it just seems to evaporate an inch before landing ? the whole weekend been disaster for ground coverage despite so much falling from the sky. Canvey by the sea wall.

❄❄❄❄❄ on canvey again

Much bigger flakes coming down now just as daylight skips away can see them without the need of a lamppst Canvey Island

Tick tock tick tock it' nearly 4oclock ☺?❄❄❄❄☃☃☃☃❄❄❄????
