and the weather.............?

[London & South East Cold Spell Discussion]

How are we looking considering a return to the cold weather in a week or so's time? How's the SCANDI/SIBERIA high looking?

[London & Se Cold Spell Discussion]

Looks like a last chance Saloon and parting shot now for Tomorrow AM for London and the SE.

Models overnight now moving away from anything Cold RE-Loading, GFS Sticking to it's guns and ECM Now starting to wobble on it's blocking scenario, so this could be the last chance of anything wintry in our area for a few weeks.

Temps should be around average for the back end of the weekend with 6-8c in the South and Overnight Lows of around 4c.

You think that the Scandi/Russian block will not progress westwards?

Also I live in the guildford area, just on the edge of the N.Downs, reckon I'll see some snowfall tonight? If so, how much? Being snowed in again would be a dream!

Looking at the radar, EVERYTHING coming of holland and north west germany is fading out over the north sea. Would be great to see it building up instead. Anyone intelligent know why it isnt?

Looks like those showers are completely breaking up over the north sea instead of building. Does anyone know why this is? Surely they would pick up moisture to be then dumped as snow on us in the SE?

oh well, seems this cold snap is pretty much over as its going to warm up over the next few days. doesnt really look like we are going to get anymore decent snowfall apart from the odd light shower which won't really accumulate. Was fun while it lasted!!!!

btw, what happened to the 7/8 inches that was forecast for last night? woke up this morning expecting a lot more snow and got absolutely nothing!

Let me make a guesscast. It won't, but Kent will get 10-20 cm. Just a wild guess.

hahaha im loving the hate kent mood!

Problem with that is it doesnt differentiate the frontal snow V convective snow-

The author of that image-- if they have weighted say 75% convective then its over already for some....

Not knocking any forecast, & the overall depths are reasonable- however a lot of people looking at that would be thinking- ok 2-4cms already this afternoon- so ive got another 10/15 to go-

Which is surprising given the intensity of the front..- we shall see

Steve

so your saying that there is not going to be as much snow as this picture shows?

[London & South East Cold Spell Discussion]

just watched latest bbc forecast. puts another 7/8 inches tonight over surrey and neighbouring counties (mainly to the east). We currently have 5/6 inches on the floor in and around Guildford. Going to get DEEP!

its also currently snowing here moderately from the 1st trough, so far only around 1/2 cm but slowly building though this will cease before the main front will hit.

started to snow in guildford, very light flurries though, nothing serious. waiting on the big stuff to blow in from the east!!!

[London & South East Cold Spell Discussion]

Anyone know the forecast for Guildford, Surrey? We gunna get any of the white stuff here? Is it moving west or just staying to the east?

Thanks
