[Jo S]

Jo, just remember..... Don't look back in Ongar

Lol soo funny :rofl:

[Essex Boy]

Nothing to report here (Chelmsford).

[NO LONGER POSTING]

Okay snow reports poping up all over the place now on the twitter snow map..And as you can see much further east that predicted Hold tight everyone..I think it is going to be a long..And could be a frustrating night

That big red blob over the North sea..Just still hanging on pushing south..COME ON!!! IF there is a God he will give all my fellow lovers of weather snow tonight! XD

No snow in Felixstowe, :-(

Been under the precepitation for at least an hour and a half, although as I said earlier it looked like it was getting much darker (clouds) out to the east before dusk!!

No its pretty much as forecasted

[SMU]

There must be snow in there then- just not as widespread as the radar-

I cant get that snow map at work-

I will rely on old fashioned reports from Sleety Southend-

Need to get my new car home- it doesnt drive in the snow- it just go sideways like a crab

Bone dry in Ipswich

Steve..Thank you for supporting my observation

[danm]

I think there is snow moving S/SSW from the Peterborough area, but if we were to believe the radar completely, then Chelmsford would currently be having heavy snow.

[steveinsussex]

shhhh im trying to jinx

jeez

[abovefreezing]

Nowcasting snow is a nightmare @ the best of times...

So why's the radar letting us down at our greatest time of need?

I wonder what's causing all the fake echoes?

Its not all that hot air rising from Yamkin's ramps, is it?

:help: :help: :help: etc etc

Not really...?

As Steve says " huge movement to the East"

[clark3r]

metoffice radar and raintoday.co.uk both show the same!!!!!!!

[Brightlight]

METO have adjusted the snow symbols in our area and its earlier and further east by the looks - nothing post midnight - radar showing sleet isnt representative as nothing here in Brighton at the moment and its green on radar!

[NO LONGER POSTING]

Okay so with things more east now..This is my take on things...The red circle indicates precipitation that isn't there.. (error)

[abovefreezing]

As Steve says " huge movement to the East"

Only if you believe the radar. And we can'r right now. People living where the radar shows ppn simply don't have any, not significantly.

[zAiN]

Radar says YES! Chelmsford says NO! ... Bone dry here.

Steve that is because of the stuff in the North Sea

[rmc1987]

An alert has been issued to Croydon Council by the MetO for heavy snow this late afternoon/evening :help:

This area isn't in for much so can't see how Croydon can be due heavy unless an area of ppn is going to break of and drift that way, or maybe Croydon council are being a bit ott.

[abovefreezing]

I think the blob to the sw of the red area is also fake, otherwise it would've ppn here a little while ago; it didnt!

Not entirely correct. There have been lots of snow reports in Peterborough, and someone in Stansted reported some light snow. But all those bright echoes over Suffolk and south & east Essex are either false or the PPN just isn't reaching the ground.
