I feel your pain, i hate it when someone has a flurry and i haven't!

It is looking good for your area in the next few days too isn't it? Hopefully you'll get a good dumping.

I'm not going to be at home but in Guildford so if this day fails here like I have a sneaky feeling it wil, I should still see a big amount of snow there...but I'll miss any snowfall in Essex probably as I won't be about, also going to miss the fun online as well

Good Morning!

Snowing lightly here in Peterborough, has been for about an hour, I think we're far from the proportions other EA/SE members are experiencing!!! Happy Snowballing all

BBC saying no snow for me until tonight

hoping something in the north sea comes my way!

[danm]

The snow suddenly starting to pick up now. The 'streamer' may be starting to shift slightly further south. Or it could be widening and fattening out at it's southern end.

West, Central and East Kent Quick Discussion:

What is everones thoughts on the next 24,48, and 72 hours. It is easy to get carried away with models and snow, but looking at the charts and models I see a few possible outcomes, some very good for snow others not so good, I woudl be interested to read comments on others opinions. Just interesting predicting the future

Leighton buzzard

Could say a blizzard lol.Snow falling heavier now. Just bordering 10 inches.

[Southender]

Chelmsford and Colchester look the prime spots at the moment and have been for the last couple of hours. Now all we need is that to shift 20 miles South and fast!

[Tom D]

Really lovely massive flakes here now, coming down thick and fast.

You don't want it to move too fast, be patient and it'll reach you later and give you a nice couple of hours of snow.

Well lets hope for a Thames streamer for Guildford.....................and me.

Thanks for your forecasts. Very accurate. Have a good one.

[kold weather]

Yeah same here Damn but its still too light to have a chance of settling, I need to have this stupid ESE airflow shift which needs the low to hurry up and kick itself SW rather then WSW...still I think some part sof Essex going to get a good 4-6 inches, quiten a good surprise fall for some.

saw that too. He sed potentially heavy snow into east anglia tomorrow and that it COULD move into the London area overnight. Going to have to monitor that one.

As other have stated it does not look like a True Streamer yet more an organised band coming in off the North Sea that the Low pressure is helping to pull westwards, I am seriously debating wether to head into London this morning for work, getting there is no prob, it is the picking up of the car at Upminster at 630pm and the drive down the A127 Home tonight.

If this lot is going to stay put I might as well stay put or is it going to shift Westwards towards Herts ??

Cheers

Paul S

cant believe Southeastern trains changed the timetables yesterday with the proviso that it will change "even if it doesn't snow"

got to go to work tonight Paul, so will be leaving early. not sure how it will be in C London, but the fountains in Trafalgar Square are frozen over

Hats off to John Holmes for forecasting this one

trouble with travel is that my 12 hour shift tonight becomes more like 16 hours with travel :lol:

[Ocean Transit]

Been snowing here in Chelmsford for over three hours now... getting rather deep

Proper snow for a change, snowball stuff!

& Brighton & Hove

I never know which forum to look in!

Its still snowing very heavily here. All schools are closed. When I can get myself out of bed, I will give you measurements :lol:

Tommy

how much longer to you think is left in that band? the kids have gone to school believe it or not, getting heavy here again

[saint]

We look to have really benefited from this, snowing for nearly 2 hours now and all that in the East is still moving this way!

[Hammer]

We have been ever so slightly to the north of the heavier stream of snow, so I'd expect places like Harlow and Epping to have done well in past few hours, but it has still been snowing here since about 7.00am and it looks like maybe for the next hour we fall in a slighly heavier band of snow for anything between 1 and 2 more hours, dependant on whether this shifts south much.

[saint]

Tommy

Hi Andy! I would expect that school to close soon.

[Tom D]

Tommy

Well, there's no sign of it moving south yet, I don't want to jinx it but I'd estimate at least an hour.

My brother and sister have gone to school too! Unbelievable given the amount we had before Christmas when they got off school.

[Discombobulation Man]

Well this is just fan-clucking-tastic isn't it; snizzle for most of the night here in NW central London and now the stupid City has found it's way into the screw zone. . .

I give up

[claret047]

Well theres probably about 1-2cms on the ground, there is light snow and probably will carry on for a while yet, may get heavier for a time as it will come south eventually but I think you will be fine. You've probably got more snow up there now then here.

Thanks very much for your reply. I will start getting ready to leave now

[nick82]

Hi Everyone, been charting these forums for the last couple of weeks and thought it was about time to join in the fun!!

That stremer off the North sea has been right over us in Felixstowe for a number of hours now with mod/heavy snow still falling. Must be pushing well over 2 inches now!! Think its about to leave us if it continues tracking south but has been a real welcome surprise with hopefully more to come.

Any thoughts if it is likely to pull east and continue here for a while longer or is it a deffinite southwards trend now?

Nick
