[essex coast matt]

Just light snow here now,not been out since mid afternoon but looks like picked fair bit up last few hours,temps are dropping now so ice be big prob now.

[MagicBat]

Still snowing here! Started at around 8:30am!

Radar showing the snowing push north east..... Maybe 3 to 4 hours max of snowing fall left in the hert/essex area.

Yesterday - I predicted 8cm's, I think I've made that. Good day, pleased!

Then the deep freeze. We will see an average of -3 in the Essex/ Herts area.

Well after taking a couple of hrs break im delighted to see heavy snow return with an even heavier band approaching from the E. Im not expecting it to dry out here until the early hrs.

Would love to see some clear skies afterwards though with mins dropping a few degrees below freezing.

[Stuie]

has anyone noticed that tiny red dot?what is it,its nearly over me,been watching it all day????

Santa, better late than never.

[Hughsey]

Heavy snow (small flakes) coming down still. Heavier stuff definitely appears to be moving in from the east

Edit: really getting heavier here & more snow to come potentially till the earlu hours is just what I wanted to hear TEITS!

[geminitracie]

[WheresTheSnow]

I dont get it, RainToday does not really show much over me yet its still snowing fairly well.

[ribster]

Epic out there (in Beccles), belting down, blowing all over the place in the wind, must be at least 2-3 inches, going to be more than was suggested I think!

[Bolton67]

There was hardly any precip to my south west about 45 mins ago, back building well and intensifying. back in the game.

[Stuie]

It does seem more precipitation keeps popping up from the channel.

Edit: First time the French have never given up

Hi All,

Is the snow band heading east? or west?

Its seems to be trying to pulling out of London and heading a bit east.

hi , can you help me due to my inexperience reading charts / radar etc

I live in Nottinghamshire , about 8 miles NW of city ( ng16 ) and wonder what current path this snow band is taking from where you are ??

[chilly milly]

Snow really fizzled out a couple of hours ago. Seems to be pepping up a bit now though.

[NothingHappensInNorwich]

There seems to be a line of death from just north of cambridge to south of Norwich and into the north sea where any heavy stuff turns to light when it passes over it. Anyone know why?

[SnowJoke]

It had stopped snowing here for an hour, but after a brief gap more energy seems to be working in from the SE & it's snowing again.

From where I am it's moving west.

Hi All,

maybe the front is heading NW, and the ppn is rotating around the centre of the low, so will be different directions depending on location....again only a newbie so don't shoot if barking up the wrong tree

Dave, do you see that heading west at all? Or is it going to start drifting north? Keep looking at the radar thinking it is going to stop, but still coming down

like it... They are not throwing in the towel.

[WheresTheSnow]

Im sure its the biggest flakes we've had so far out there now. Its going out with a bang!!

Thanks Big Freeze. I think your right the low is push the snow band.

[billy]

hmmm, only 1cm in 4hours, its so fine snow cant even see if it is snowing, so where is the heavy stuff? going by the radar does not seem to be coming here.

Hi Slater, got a good 5 or 6 cm here in beccles , blowing about and drifting
