Steve M, what do you recon for the chances of heavy snow this Sunday? Just seen Sky News ramping it up on their weather.

This band of heavy snow Pushing NW from the near continent appeared in the models on Sunday at the 144 mark, then it got dropped a little - mainly the GFS only to be redevloped at 144 - now 120 again-

All this means is it was actually always a potential- its just the models were a little to progressive with the evolution-

However theres SO much going on over the next 2-4 hours- then again 24-30 hours its worth putting this on the back burner-

Heavy snow still here with more away to the North- temps down to 0.2c....pavements going under now-

Yep thats something of an upgrade from the GFS, closer to the NAE now as well it seems. I'd expect more upgrades over the next 24hrs as well as per normal with these set-ups. EVen Guildford might get some snow according to that...

Cheers Steve. I am so surprised Kold has been so unlucky. You are no more than 7 miles away from me and it's snowed all day and now settling on roads.

Persistent light snow pretty much all day. Cranbrook has a good 3/4 inches of the white stuff now so far, but Staplehurst just 4 miles further north has about inch at best because the snow partially melted here, being at low altitude, so today's snow isn't sticking yet.

Edit: I suspect the TSS may come into affect with this front, intensifying it as it moves into Kent perhaps?

Just when i thought it was stopping, its gotten heavier again! Big flakes, blowing around in the wind, really heavy.

I dont know if any of you were watching BBC news a few mins ago. They were interviewing someone, and behind him on the screen was the palace of westminster, in the middle of a blizzard.

Ligher now here at Excel but right on Thames, find it great we can still see these scenarios and has been snowing lightly to start since early morning and really came down for an hour covering everywhere.

Also winds have changed to NNE...So could be rouge showers off North Sea possible tonight.

Also still possible of seeing more from Essex Suffolk in next hour or so.

I just don't understand either!

Also the radar has put my mood at an all time low...

Notice the radar image at 15:15 on NW extra and look due north of the Thames, then look at 15:30 and see how the whole weakens quite rapidly...pretty much as it comes over me!!!

You guys in SE Essex should get an inch or two from this yet...here in SW Essex...yep just like I said earlier...Jack all...

I feel for you mate.

Youve probably got winds coming straight off the estuary. What is your temp/dew points like?

I recon it's due to all the Burberry gear that's worn by the chavs in Lakeside that's deflecting your snow!

Note to self: empty wardrobe of Burberry gear...

Light snow now in South Woodham Ferrers. The fun didn't last long. Culmulative 1.5cm here, plus the 1cm from last night which had melted to 0.5cm. Doesn't look like we will have the highest snowfall in my experience* since the early 1990s now, for which we need more than 4 cms.

*I did miss 3 of those winters.

Bit galling that Danbury got about 7cm (for total of 13cm?)in the time it took us to get 1cm!

After almost 24hrs of constant snow seems now to have finished and can see some clear skies

With 30cm + and snow fields , going to get some cold temps tonight although think wind will be too much to for anything less then -6c ??
