Not saying it is a hurricane lol.

Yeah I am in grays on the river front saw a flash to the northeast

[Southender]

Slowed to light snow now. A cm covering so far. Better than nothing!

[White Christmas]

really heavy big flakes love it

[Met4Cast]

I'm back from getting my McDonalds. The only place the now moderate 20p flake snow 4/10 was settling was on my black coat, as I got home though I noticed slush on the cars!

[VillagePlank]

No sferics detected .... yet

Yes saw that too, think it was more SW Of us over by Basildon way!

Looks like chuks of ice coming down now, very convective!

[WillinGlossop]

Really heavy snow here huge flakes settling everywhere except tarmac at the mo, a cm at least already..... Temp 0.4c dew -0.5 flakes are easily 50p size wowza...... If this keeps up for a few hours.....

[Planet Stow]

I hope so, because that would be just to North of me, and I didn't get a storm in the summer, this year. Time for yet another ciggie and a walk?

[Rinse The Raindrops]

Think it will freeeze after?

[abovefreezing]

tryin to settle in Ashford.

DP still a tad high, but dropped 0.5 Deg now.

Need to be heavier and prolonged for any major impact down here

edit: dp dropping by the second!

Gonna have a sherry and a smoke b4 looking out again -- hoping for better.

well for the second time in 24 hours- heavy sleet & sopping wet.

crap location this 1 mile from the QE2...

I will be bloody moving to bluebell hill for 2014!

[Mark Neal.]

Yeah We've had such poor luck..a slight dusting last night ,if you'd even call it that, and sleet followed by rain today

Yes, sods law that closeby sees something while nothing but a slushy mix at best. Always next time, your time will come, and will probably be sooner than expected!

[danm]

Such a kick in the teeth. The darker green echoes are literally 10 miles up the road. I'm getting some very light stuff but its all pivoting away south an east of here.

Sorry, il turn the flash of my phone the next time i take a picture lol

20p flakes now, a nice covering everywhere

Temperatures due to be low through today, and a very cold night on Tuesday, any snow is likely to stay for a while! ( That's if you have settled snow already!)

yup, even the very minute snow has gone from my ends...

[VillagePlank]

T/snow?

Possibly, here's the skew-T for Cambridge. LI a little high, but locally that won't matter ... Monster Total Totals ... in summer that'd mean armageddon is just around the corner ...
