So South Essex watchers do we think that large shower coming down from Ipswich way has our name on it? Got a horrible feeling from looking at the net weather radar it could slide over the top off us through mid central essex!

my thoughts exactly at the moment

Paul now he has gone maybe sombody can answer my question? on the radar there there seems to be a big lump heading this way it seems to be getting bigger but not moving very fast if at all, where is this expected to go?

If it goes the same way as the last then should hit East of London "if" it holds it together presuming you are talking about the Ipswich Precip, the last one from Ipswich split Southend and Chelmsford in two, missing most people and going across the Fields in the 12 miles between here and there :yahoo:

The showers of the Suffolk/N Essex coast have just arrived I just got back in from visiting the sports centre about a mile away in town. The town roads round here are treacherous, not ramping when I say driving is like ice skating without the control. Since the last fall about 90 mins ago it has all been compacted by traffic and frozen to an ice sheet. Unless something changes like serious gritting there will be many accidents in the morning unfortunately so take it easy out there! Air temp 0°c Dew Point -0.7°c Wind NNE 12 MPH

white-out........you guys to the south of us are in for a treat in the next hour or so!

Just hope it move just slightly more to the West, otherwise I think I will be on the edge of it - better than nothing though. Looks like Danbury is in for another pounding - wish I was there!

Snowing in Bexleyheath. I wasnt expecting anything tonight, I must admit!

Might get lucky and hop on those line of showers off the Essex coast. Getting a bit heavier now!

It's looking like the Braintree snow shield will deflect it just to the south of Braintree and it'll head down towards Brentwood/Loughton area...unless it swings a smidge east...then game on!! The next radar on rain today should give a better idea good.gif

A smidge West even!!! I don't seem to know my erse from my albow!

Can't believe that last clump split into two as it approached Southend! Hope this next bigger one doesn't...

Got a feeling the whole lot will go North of our area, Rochford, Southend, Leigh, Rayleigh.....hope im wrong

yahoo.gif sorry for the rampede tonight, but this is the best spell for us since the December 16th streamer. Snow depth has gone from 0.5cm to around 6cm tonight, and we've now got good old 50p flakes falling yahoo.gif
