Na LS, its got my name on it, the weak streamer that sets up will save you probably, but the streamer probably is not quite running this far west at the moment, though its hard to tell to be honest...

Will see in the next 15-30 mins, though upstream actually for once looks half decent...bet it weakens though before it reaches here of course, plus it probably won't settle until maybe the very back edge...

There is a moderate risk of severe weather continuing to affect much of eastern England during Saturday.

Snow showers are likely to be heavy and frequent at times giving further falls of several cm in many areas. This will lead to icy stretches on roads and pavements.

Areas affected:

• Bedfordshire 40%
• Cambridgeshire 40%
• Essex 40%
• Hertfordshire 40%
• Luton 40%

• Peterborough 40%
• Southend-on-Sea 40%
• Suffolk 40%

Eastern End looks to be- North Kent coast-

Sittingbourne & away South West as the front sinks-

Bullseye zones look to be-

Chelmsford down to befleet on the northern side & dartford out to bluewater on the Southern side-

This is expected to move through SW direction-

Can confirm really heavy snow here East of Chelmsford at the moment. At this rate it looks like to exceed what fell before Christmas!

Need a longer ruler soon.

NOWCAST ...WOW !! Not seen flakes as big as this in my living memory ( and yes iam old ) . Started here at 8.30am this morning, then stopped for about an hour around midday.But since then its been streaming down, another point is in the last 15mins, the wind has picked up., now a brisk n/easterly. If it keeps on like this Iam going to have a snow-go-birthday 2mrw.
