Default Snow in the wind in SW Essex

Temp 1.1C (overnight low of 0.4C), strong easterly breeze. Overcast
earlier, but recently more broken cloud with some clear sky showing.
I've noticed isolated v small snowflakes for the past hour or so but
we've now (11.00 am) started to see larger and more numerous flakes
blowing in the wind, as darker cloud moves in from the east.

Bit heavier than that here at 11.30 a.m. Moderate shower, largish flakes,
not settling yet as no frost last night and air and ground probably the same
at 2C. Temperature dropping and dew point rising in shower now, as you might
expect. Just waitng for the -13C 850 hPa to pass by this afternoon ;-)

Similar conditions here in Rayleigh. A few very light flurries in the last
couple of hours. Each flurry slighlty heavier than the previous one.
Still not enough to settle. Grass is still green.
temp 2.5C

I think we might share the honours, Keith. The interesting thing is,
although there's no frost in the ground and it's currently 0.5C (temp
fell as the steadier snow arrived), the snow is lying on the concrete
and grass. There's very little of it on the ground at the moment but
what is there is not thawing. We're about 75m asl, BTW.

The radar shows quite an area of precipitation, yet it's not what I'm
seeing here, shallow clouds and light flurries :-(

Blue skies now in Rayleigh. Bright sunshine. All evidence of snow has
long gone with nothing approaching on the horizon :-(

Still going here in Ramsgate -- a light covering on most surfaces. The
snowfall looks quite impressive when we get a good gust; but it's really
quite a light fall.
