Yes heavy snow forecast for Essex - 60% chance anyway.
It was hot in Essex last Easter which was a shame as me and my husband spent the weekend tiling the bathroom, getting hot and bothered - and bad tempered. Missed it all. All the neighbours had barbecues going too.
Never mind I love the snow so fingers crossed for Essex. |

Well three's been very heavy sleet and rain here this morning and it's freezing!! It's going through a sunny spell now but somehow don't think it's going to last very long I could do with a walk in the country too after trudging round Brighton yesterday.

Sunday's forecast for my area has now changed from heavy snow to sleet.
It's been mainly bright and sunny this morning, but very windy. |

My mother is fond of the tale of my sisters birth in 1979 on the 10th of April. She was knee high in snow but my dad made sure they made it to the hospital!!
We've had flurries of snow today. We are putting up a fence! |

Bitterly cold here, very VERY strong winds, sleet on and off, then glorious sunshine. Looking forward to studying pawprints in the snow tomorrow, as it feels ready to snow now.

Hmmm, similar to badgerwatcher here, glorious sunshine, then suddenly grey followed by light snow which isn't sticking. Intermittent sleet too. Oh the joys of our eclectic seasonal weather

Had lots of snow showers today here in south east Hampshire.The unfortunate thing is the ground is far too wet for it to settle.The kids kept looking out the window in hope, don`t know if that`s it or we`ll get more in the morning. |

Still snowing here in leafy Hertfordshire. A light covering everywhere, due to stop around midday I believe, birds still feeding...  |

We had snow too today, enough for the kids to go out and make some snowballs but not enough for a snowman. It has all gone now though. |

Well the Met Office forecast for here in Cambridge was spot on and we had more than 2 inches of snow fall between 6 - 9am this morning and it's still on the ground. Our local Kingfishers didn't seem to mind it though and were fishing as usual -

there's been a mix of sleet and snow here - including some huge flakes - but it didn't settle. Very wet and cold out there.
