Quick update.

We are currently in the centre of the circulation.

Sinks SE this evening and then we pick up an E,ly flow.

Temps will begin to drop at this stage as we pick up colder upper temps with the dewpoints dropping.

More snow is then expected to push S but the amounts is uncertain.

Right this did have me confused.

What i did was switch to a 4 hr ppn radar animation on very slow.

I then watched carefully and you can just see the ppn that is sitting along the coastline in the northeast is starting to come back in and you can see the rotary movement if you watch carefully.

I take it then that sooner or later this effect will start pulling everything along the east coasts back in then?pheww

well been a great one here. Woke up at 4am to see a covering and scraped off a couple of inches of snow off car first thing. At work in Radlett it was light and stop/start until about 11am when it really kicked in and was very heavy at times and pretty much non stop until about 3.00. Was settling well on the playground after the kids at the school had been out in it playing. Am a happy bunny now and will be happy with whatever we get now.

hey spoke to you yesterday. I live in park street so you passed me . not a bad day for snow. what's your thoughts tonight?

Looking ahead - the high is absolutely immense. The Atlantic systems are drifting into a brick wall. For me, today is just the starter with the main course being served at the end of the week. Widely 6, possibly 8 inches of snow.

The model thread is looking a lot more positive and interesting reading the last day or so.

Rain/Sleet/Snow mix here, any chance that coastal areas will get any lying snow before the end of the night?

Looks like there is a slow melt going on here too, In one way that wouldn't be so bad but then also fancied a snow day.

Would be nice to wake up to fresh snow though so fingers crossed.

Time for sleep for me been awake over 24 hours after working my last night shift for a few days.

Am I justified to say that the Met Office has over done their warnings? Yes it did snow hard for about 2 hrs in central Essex but it never settled and was never likely too with the temps at +2c ....

On flip side back in Dec, got pasted in snow and there were no warnings .....

we still have a fair bit on the ground so happy with that!

I am hoping for a nice covering from this tonight but i'm not getting my hopes up until i see it moving back towards me on the radar and we have a drop in temp/dew point which are both at 1c for now.

Hi yes was a pretty good day all in all. I am no expert at all, but that wraparound is looking 'fairly' likely to hit us I would say, and hopefully those temps and dew points should drop so more potential for us. Prob around midnight onwards. I know the met office have us just about under the amber warning. Keeping a close eye on this low now so another few hours of radar watching. Whatever we get I have a feeling it could be a slippery journey out of stevenage in the morning. At least once I hit the a1m its well gritted.

Slight thaw going on here at the moment so hope those temps/dp's drop soon.

With the temp and dew point still on the rise here, I'm hoping that the showers that are heading our way from the north west do miss us!

Still hoping for the 'wrap-around' will do what we are all willing it to do.

Started snowing again here in MK quite heavy although nothing sticking at the moment due to a slight thaw, but temperatures are dropping so fingers crossed for a top up on the overnight accumulations.
