[Long haul to mild]

What a day...and it's still going!! Had 4 inches plus here, stopped for half an hour at 10.30 but just started up again and with the largest flakes of the day! Fairly heavy too. Amazing scenes!

Yes, a very surprising turn of events!

[80sWeather]

Yawn, going to bed now after what has to be one of the best snowy weekends for years, good night all :-) lol its still lightly snowing.

[Shutterbug Netty]

Snowing quite a bit in Braintree again ...thought it had finished for the day.

Here too....... despite being under a completely clear patch on the radar

[Nimbusman]

Yes, a very surprising turn of events!

Very interesting!! chucking it down still! I've been struggling to get the usual radars to update past 22.15 just found this one updating, is that a streamer setting up?

Yes, most of the UK based radars seemed to have stopped!

Reckon you could be right, we don't usually benefit from streamers here, but after today anything could happen!!

That does look like that way, don't know how heavy it will be or how long it will last, winds are suppose to swing offshore later on in the night but could provide a few more hours of snow for many in the East

It is odd, and I've just noticed that the radar isn't updating past 22:15....... long may it continue though, my son is desperate for a snow day tomorrow

[Luton Weather]

Just checked the lamp-post.. Its still snowing in Luton :-)

Wow so we're all in the same boat then? big flakes just started falling and under clear patch on radar. weird :S

Yes I noticed that with the radars to - my son is very Happy as his school sent us a text earlier to say they are closing- I think they all should so the kids can be kids and have some fun...but not all agree with that :/

[TheBigFreeze]

Snow out of nowhere - biggest flakes all day here to very bizarre.

[Chris101]

Yes it does look like some kind of streamer, thought it was all over, moon and clear skies and then that last lump seemed to just turn Westwards and it does seem to be building at the rear.

[TEITS]

Just about to pop to bed as I thought it was all over and then I spotted something on the radar just before it packed up again. Can anyone confirm snow in E essex, Suffolk because just on the frame I was able to view it seemed as though a whole new area of snow had developed?

[loretta]

Definitely snowing here in Braintree Essex Teits quite steadily to

[MBaines]

What's up with the radar, Europe view is showing a big area over East Anglia which is no there on uk view?

[Hammer]

TEITS. Yes Braintree reporting snow. Halstead also. Just spoke to friends in both.

[CanadaAl]

Snow seems to have made it's way over to west essex too. this could be a nice little bonus

[Shutterbug Netty]

Evening TEITS, can confirm it's still snowing here too

[Chris101]

Yes Ipswich is under that, its chucking it down.

[TEITS]

Finally managed to grab a radar shot and yes snow has developed across Ipswich, Colchester and this is extending NW into Cambridge.

[TheBigFreeze]

is this the north sea snow machine producing the goods??

Quiet odd really because based on the models the snow should be clearing Essex, Suffolk not developing!!
