East Anglia & Se Cold Spell Discussion

[desperately seeking]

Looking like SE London mught catch a bit (not a big bit) but the winds still have too much of a northerly element to them; once they turn more easterly things should start to look up for the capital and it environs (south of the river in particular)...

Hope they turn off down the A14

asking nicely and turning on the fans

[mispy]

Snowing here! Hooray! Thought we were going to slip through a gap in the radar... but nope, tis definitely snowing. Really really tiny flakes so looks more like drizzle but is snow. Coming down quite fast and is certainly settling on the ice patches...cant't tell if its settling else where as it is still covered in snow from Wednesday :lol:

what are the chances of seeing more for luton? Thanks in advance

[Timmytour]

Blobs look to be coming from a more E direction then ENE lately which would improve the lot of us north of London (but so far not north or west enough!)

[hardcj]

Heavy snow in strood now.....will only last a little bit

[we1330]

Hope they turn off down the A14

That'll be no good, they'll get caught up in the traffic before they get here!

Snow has really picked up here now, settling on everything including the car tracks which are wet!

I lived in Minster on the Isle of Sheppey in the early to mid 80's, now that was a snowfest

Cut off with cars and buses abandoned, wonder how they are faring with this little lot

[Updraft]

Fine snow here in Dover at this minute... nothing of note... may as well call it a flurry.

About tonight... I can see it missing us here in East Kent Dover area. I have a feeling.

Snowing much better now, suns gone and its got darker, all good

[Snowangel-MK]

Can anyone shed any light on the weird BBC forecast for Sunday? According to the Beeb, it seems that the easterly is predicted to only deliver snow to south west England and wales, showing no form of PPN for Eastern England.

Cheers

I saw that too, not what I was expecting

Mind you I wasn't expecting any snow today and I've just been out for an hour and a half walk and it has snowed three times, be it almost invisable minute particles of snow, it was snowing and it was enough to cover my front path which was cleared and salted yesterday.

[moogyboobles]

Steady snow here, and finally the schools are closed in South Woodham.

These 'Wash Showers' are really dying a death before thay can get anywhere near us. Me thinks that is because there is little lying snow to beef them up on their journey over land. Further South, there is much more snow cover so they showers are lasting longer - any opinions?
