BBC London/SE weather watched just now are still expecting a spell of snow late Wednesday before turning to rain by Thursday.
Interesting snow-rain transition this will be! Watched the heavy snow early hours with a bright orange sky, my lampposts stayed on as they do here! i think council only turns off on some estates. Had a light covering early morning and snow showers on/off today mostly morning.
-
Just some light snow showers around, looking at radar not much about at the moment.Anymore surprise snow tonight?!
Risk of falling snow Late Wednesday as a weather system bringing mild air hits the cold, EA looking like the highest risk of seeing this happening. Not expecting anything much at this stage, although a period of snow across inland SE most likely over hills, and in EA, is possible on the front edge of the system. After that Thursday very wet weather is possible with flooding as ground is sensitive now.
Looking ahead next week could see cold/wintry weather returning.

Heavy pure snow! dusting on everything.
-
Settling snow on cars and roofs now. steady snow.
-
Wet snow here becoming more iced snow covering the cars..not much else.. yet!

The far South is stuck under the slightly milder zone, your winds probably westerly drawing in milder air other than colder air as further north/east, dew points/surface temps higher so rain falls not snow.Complete non event for us in Sussex , it has rained all day long and is still coming down , anybody know we might see even one snow flake here? Please help
Look at the charts below from NAE for 3am
Upper temperatures 850/1000hpa:
Dew points:
Surface Temps:
Next the Surface pressure, follow the lines onto the near continent and the feed of a colder southeasterly ,
The surface wind chart below same time:

Precipitation charts evening updates
NAE midnight to 6am:
GFS midnight chart
GFS 6am
GFS 12pm
Charts show snow around SE/EA into Monday morning with some patches/shws of sleet or snow through Monday.
Next is Tuesday, GFS shows light snow around
Last, GFS Wednesday Eve
Shows heavy snow across Northern England but changes may occur and things shift south, this is what i expect and that bringing us into the situation of sleet/snow event, i think we keep the cold as the fronts hit so i expect snow event Wednesday before rainfall then milder with rain after that.
Moving ahead and the milder weather only temporary with cold returning by next week, i imagine some more snow events as the cold battles to shift away!

Is it for sale on Ebay?OI DONT COME OVER HERE TRYING TO NICK OUR SNOW!!!! And on a serious note no I dont think it will reach you :/ the low is sliding south :/
-
GFS and NAE 18z keep snow going overnight into the morning across the SE and EA(snow could affect more of EA that has not had snow yet), with some sleet/snow patches around through the day for many.
Tuesday a slight upgrade to snow, although not significant at this stage.

SNOWBLOB?blob is coming!

Can't tell you how many times iv'e checked the thermometer!We only need a slight drop and its game on for us grrr lol

Wet snow falling now light-steady Cobham Surrey (near Esher/Epsom) areas.
Elevation 50m or less.
Tonight it's all about radar/lamppost watching if you have these, reports.
Possible snow Tuesday.

Been unsnowed again
-
Just to say that the event has only really just started(for some..)
-
2.5C (was 3.5C 50mins ago)sleet, some large flakes for the first time today(since the last half hour) in Cobham Surrey near Esher/Weybridge areas.
Hope to give an update on the situation in a while to what we can expect
-
Keep check for heavy ppn early eve, overnight if it's lighter would fall as snow , we are in a fine place for snow!what you think north surreys chances are mate? good to get 2 views on it
-
It's not the temprature i'm worried about but the ppn amounts!! temps/dew points falling this eve/overnightThink there may be a dry period between the pivot as the PPN moves north and we see the other area of PPN move in from the west.. (I think) this is the point where it will pivot . a dry slot would be good would allow a slight dry up..
-
3.5C in Cobham near Esher/Weybridge, been dropping around 1C an hour, certainly feeling the bite out there! sleet/rain mix over the last hour, Southeasterly wind(xc weather)lots of precipitation across the SE on radar, should start to get more snow reports after dark or within the next 2/3hours as the cold air flow from the continent cuts into the rain turning it to snow!
-
You are in a good location for the snow SR, Kent gets the lower dew points, colder continental air, all you need is the ppn and the models show that!Not expecting nothing but rain tomorrow. Nowt with being pessimistic, more realistic, but more to do with this being so marginal that any flake of snow falling from the sky (and not settling!) is a bonus.
I just am feeling rather flat about tomorrows prospect - it's like the roller-coaster has run out of energy
-
I have created a snow map for the SE/EA the highest risk of significant snow from late afternoon Sunday, with late eve and the early hours of Monday being when the more intense snow should develop.
Pulses of heavy snow some very heavy should develop but some areas seeing lighter stuff, Kent and up through East Sussex and through the London area and further north from here potentially getting large snowfalls, i expect parts of Surrey and west Sussex to join in late Sunday with snowfall here, How far into east EA it gets i'm not to sure, i am expecting the system to slow, some areas getting many hours of snow, Kent snow starting earlier as the very cold air sweeps in from the continent.
For most rain turning to sleet and snow, the heavy ppn helping to cool the air as the chill hits from the se.
