very very little snow in Central Essex

[Kent Blizzard]

Lol at the sun trying to come out. What a huuuge let down over here.

Get yourself some Jellied eels and sit on the beach lol

[BlizzardBelle]

Every branch big with it,

Bent every twig with it;

Every fork like a white web-foot;

Every street and pavement mute:

Some flakes have lost their way, and grope back upward when

Meeting those meandering down they turn and descend again.

The palings are glued together like a wall,

And there is no waft of wind with the fleecy fall.

A sparrow enters the tree,

Whereon immediately

A snow-lump thrice his own slight size

Descends on him and showers his head and eye

And overturns him,

And near inurns him,

And lights on a nether twig, when its brush

Starts off a volley of other lodging lumps with a rush.

The steps are a blanched slope,

Up which, with feeble hope,

A black cat comes, wide-eyed and thin;

And we take him in.

Thomas Hardy, 1840-1928

[john mac]

Banging down here all main roads going white

[Jezzer]

Omg big big gust of wind just passed through must have been 40mph

I'll be able to make a measure soon, let battle commence

[Tom Montalbano]

Have I been barred ???

Sorry HW, were you in Paul Shermans sweepstake, if so I'll forfeit my position. I'll have a look.

I compiled the draw from entries made in Pauls competition.

Regards,

Tom.

[Methuselah]

Its still snowing in Basildump but not big accumilations tbh ...just a smattering

[Damp and dreary]

Had my eye on that one for a while it doesn't seem to be moving, perhaps if we threw a net out we might catch it?!

Everything crossed neighour! got my eyes glued to the radar and the other one on the rambling in here!

Stick him against me!!

[Joker]

Do you know if Brighton is included on that ?

It will be if the depression moving North out of France tracks a little to the West but it is (at the moment) predicted to track N to NE. Anywhere from Eastbourne eastwards at the moment is the best spot with East Anglia probably in the bullseye.

[fulhamsteve]

Cannot believe how screwed over the Medway Towns has been this year. None of the thunderstorms, boiling heat or snow that we were supposed to beat every other area at!

[Guest archiesmummy]

Still snowing here, has been since 9am everything white now and schools all closing, lovely! It's the weekend and its snowing!

[lewis028]

Just a dusting here at the moment with very light snow falling..:/

[abovefreezing]

Let me guess...

The snowy front stalls and never reaches us and fades away...

The next front, which has a warm sector ahead of it, breezes through and gives the east the highest precip totals... of RAIN?

Seriously folks, whats happened to all the whiteout weather maps from yesterday?

[Kent Blizzard]

Slightly more fluffy chunks, 20p size now

[Sara]

Getting heavier here now Bexhill

[Essex Chelle]
