East Anglia & South East Cold Spell Discussion.

[saint]

Sun is out here for the first time since Tuesday.

[kold weather]

Seems to be quite a clear slot coming into a Lot of Essex now, but things could change as the Low pulls Southwards and the orientation of the showers change, but for now nuch much happening in SW, S & SE Essex for an hour or so.

Good because I've gotta head to the station, as far as I'm concerned I'd like an hour dry slot then it can come down again!

[Nick F]

Blizzards in Tunbridge Wells centre ... lol. Settling thick on main road outside :lol:

Didn't expect snow to arrive this early today

[Shutterbug Netty]

After a brief spell of beautiful sunshine, just started snowing lightly here again.

Seems to happen every time hubby goes out to clear the drive:lol: Hmmm, shall I make him stay out there all day?!!:lol:

[AtlanticFlamethrower]

Sun is out here now and there are icicles forming on the roof due to snow melt. Amazing, sun been out for just 5 minutes and it must be -3C.

[Brocken Spectre]

Incredibly heavy shower in last hour dropped 2cm in 15 minutes flat!! Temp was minus 3 !

Radar suggests just a few sprinkles behind, light flurry now!

That 10 minutes deluge was some of the heaviest snow I've seen in this area! (Shame it didn't last long!!)

Snowing quite well here in Sawbridgeworth. CM21. Hertfordshire.

Wind is reporting to be coming from North West at the moment. Temperature -3.4°C

Ok so between 3 and 4 inches here in total of past few days is not massive, but it just really reminds me of some good winters of old. Been really impressed so far.

[Coast]

Up to the heady heights of -4.2 DgC now! Just finished gritting the 100yds or so from my house to the main road in a hope that some people can now drive off our estate. Can I get a rebate back from the local council for the £15.00 we spent on rock salt earlier this week as the yellow bin was empty??

[Updraft]

Will any of the snow fall in East Kent later? I'm hoping so but not sure... If so how much could we expect? Last night we got much more than was predicted.

[loveletter]

Nothing here at all. Had a hours snow yesterday and thats been it. My son been watching the rader and said we keep missing it by just a few miles.

lol.. yes lock him out there!

Just out of interest where is Silver End in Essex?

[nick82]

Someone in the KNOW?

Would i be right in thinking that as the low pulls further south the clump of showers in the north sea will effect the eastern side of Norfolk/ Suffolk and Essex before moving into Kent as at the mo alot of the showers seem to be further inland?

getting heavier in herne bay...hopefully it's headed your way!

[Neilsouth]

Heavy Snow! :lol:

[crazysnowcatz4]

Heavy snow in Canterbury at the moment, has been snowing for 20 minutes no stop. Roads are like skating rinks. About 5 - 8 cm of laying snow ATM more to come.

[loveletter]

Any one think I could get snow today. Blue sky's here today but -2 at the moment very cold

[damp patch]

Very heavy snow for last 20 mins or so here in mid-kent. Nice top up to our 10cm following yesterday evening heavy fall

[Upgrade]

The radio & tv forecasters are rubbish . they promised snow for london within 2 hours at 8am . Now 10:30. Nothing.

[Essexgooner]

Suns out now in Rochford. No real sign of any showers coming our way in the next 1 hour or so

[icy toes]

Its probably because of where the low is, once it gets a little further south the bands of snow that are further north should start to come a little further south towards you guys hopefully!

Thanks, Kold. Here's hoping!

[moogyboobles]

Lovely blue skies now. Nearly had a snowday for the children today, radio said at 8.10 the school was closed...10 minutes later it was open again!

really fancied sledging today too.

[Shutterbug Netty]

lol.. yes lock him out there!

Just out of interest where is Silver End in Essex?

Silver End is inbetween Colchester and Chelmsford.

Sky getting darker again now so hopefully more on the way!

[Neilsouth]

Stopped now , Winters Over

[maidstone weather]

25 mins of steady moderate snow so far, must have 1 or 2cm by now added to the 10cm already there. No sign of stopping yet either.
