The temperature here at Southend-on-Sea has gone down from 1.7°C to
1.4°C in the past 1/2 hour. I guess the encouraging thing is the
dewpoint now stands at -2.7°C.
Before any snow arrives would I be right to expect the wind to veer as
it is still blowing from the N (NNW), albeit gusting to 20mph, I trying
to has at a guess as to when this is going to arrive. Nothing much
showing on the radar atm. Although looks like that lump to north of the
dutch coast has our name on it:

Also once it turns to the NE will it then be drawing in even colder air
which may even mean I get an ice day tomorrow?

Good question. And what about inland areas, say North West Surrey? To
get significant Snow inland isn't there going to have to be some
dynamic enhancement? Looks like there is some upper level warmer air
embedded within that low pressure? What about the Thames dangler, or
what ever it's cold. Is there any convergence with this event?

Anyway good luck Keith, at least you should get some 'lake-effect'
snow. The sea is certainly warm enough, and the upper air cold enough!
