At 07:10 2.2°C and dp -0.1°C Mark Southend Snap with temp & dew point, I don't see snow here today. The radar looks pretty weak, would need to be heavy rain to turn to snow. Not convinced, at least here at Southend. -- Keith (Southend) http://www.southendweather.net e-mail: kreh at southendweather dot net |

Like you I don't think we'll see anything worse than maybe some sleet after dark today. Mark Southend |

Well the warning is still out but at 4.8C the temperature will need to fall
a fair bit in the evening and not rise as the front comes in. Dave "Mark Chamberlain (Southend)" wrote in message ...

In article ,

I still don't understand how 1 inch of snow can be described as
"heavy". |

Dave The old definitions had it right I feel:- Up to 2 inches (5cm) - light snowfall 2-6 inches (15cm) - moderate snowfall 6 inches - heavy snowfall It really starts to get disruptive above 6 inches (15cm). Now they use rates of accumulation. Will -- |
