[Rinse The Raindrops]

Snowing benfleet mainly blowing around in the wind at the moment

[Chris101]

I personally would like to know,how long the north sea will feed this,and when will it drop south coz,people saying snow all night on my face book ?i cant say no really atm.

Sadly not, its dropping south i'm getting close to the top edge now, probably another hour for me, a bit longer for you.

[Floatylight]

Temperature still dropping. Down to 0.6c now. Starting to settle on roads and path. Cars covered. Happy to see we are finally getting some snow! Can anyone report on the situation in colchester as I have to head that way for work tomorrow.

erm still going heavy,roads and paths coverd in my culde sac half way up curbs.

[john clarke]

Temperature is 0.5 C and been snowing heavily for over an hour .Another inch has fallen.

Could be interesting tomorrow morning if this keeps up

[Helvellyn]

Heavy snow here in Little Baddow, Essex. Temperatures just below freezing and accumulating nicely

[essexweather]

Amazing snow outside now - heavier than this afternoon when it was 50p flakes :o

You're right! Can't be far off blizzard conditions with some of these gusts??

[Jonathan Leaper]

Registered a 29 mph gust a short while ago, really whipped up the snow from the roofs.

Plenty of photo opportunities tomorrow to be had :-)

[Snowangel-MK]

Just had a flake in Mk17. Tomorrow I'll be having a mars.

I was thinking more of a crunchie, especially if what little bit of snow I have in MK7 freezes

Morning room. Well what an exciting day that was yesterday. Well done for those further east around Norfolk who ended up with several inches of snow.!

Here in west Cambs, we had a few cms yesterday morning / lunchtime - but nothing in the evening or overnight, but I cant understand the temps.

Every forecast last night predicted freezing conditions, however, we stayed above with 1.2c currently. Certainly not the -3 or -4 that was forecast. How has that happened ? Looking outside I expected frozen slush and snow cover still in places it was when I left it. ! It looks as though we could've even had a continued slow thaw. ?

Anyway, thats our lot now. We wont be affected by the coastal showers. Not sure about Fri / Sat yet.

[TheBigFreeze]

for those doubing my ruler earlier:

I swear Look East on the BBC just used this exact picture when talking about the cold!!! quality lol

[New Flesh 4 Old]

up for work at 05:30. less than a cm here in chelmsford.

i'm glad some of you got decent amounts of snow though...

[Steve C]

Morning all.

Had a light covering of wet snow in the night. More nuisance value than anything, especially as the temperatures here are a degree or two above freezing - 1C in Alresford and Hatfield Peverel and a little bit more at times on the journey down.

I'm looking for the cold to become more entrenched later on when the last influence of that pesky (to be honest, for my location, that was what it was) low disappears.

On catching up with the postings and seeing the username, I'm guessing it's because he is one of the BBC local weather forecasters / presenters.

Well done to you lucky lot in the north of the region too.

Well done Norwich! Enjoy your snow day whilst we all trudge off to work xxx

[Methuselah]

Quite a big melt overnight, now 1.9C and dry...

[Keraunic]

Mornin each. Aaaaaaand typically I missed the Norwich event. Grrrrrrrrr! and Ipswich was a typical let-down.

Ah never mind..soon be Spring.

Have a good day, everyone and stay safe.

When are you back there though K? Is it tomorrow? If so, then six inches of snow won't melt in the meantime, so you should still enjoy!

[Wivenswold]

Bit disappointed here too. Went to bed at 1am and it must have stopped soon after. A lot of snow cover seems to have melted out there.

[janetmh71]

Little line of showers coming down the east coast starting to make its way inland . . might just get a few more flakes out of it but most seems to be heading for norwich

[Steve C]

Quite interesting looking at the precipitation expectation from the Hi Res Model (00Z)

The first chart is the anticipated accumulated precipitation until 8 o'clock this morning (effectively what has happened already today) The second one is total precipitation until midnight tonight.

Looking at the difference between the models, it suggests to me that some parts of the NE of the region may still be in for more significant (hopefully) snow today.

[saint]

Not sure how cold it was last night, or whether it's suddenly starting to get colder, as the snow that hasn't melted is starting to freeze.
