So bbc (ECM) is showing precipitation on Sunday but all rain (at about 3 degrees) - do any of the other models have this breakdown of the cold - ideally with snow?!

[South East, London and East Anglia regional discussion - 8th February onwards]

-2 and snizzle, I know we all hate that mild Atlantic mush but....

It does look like turning significant milder, for a short period at least. 

Nothing modelled as a battleground breakdown either according to the Meto and BBC weather apps

[South East, London and East Anglia regional discussion - 8th February onwards]

So locally we are forecast -8 for tomorrow night - were are the recent and longer term min temp records for the SE?

Ha! I use the term very loosely!  

Maybe just two cms, would you agree?

I wouldn't have claimed more than 1 (unless I was talking to my DW)

Seems to be filling in if anything S of the streamer that is coming trough East Anglia towards Luton   Perhaps this will impact N London as well soon.

Hi Everyone

Dan at WeatherQuest is trying to keep a database of Snow Depths from this cold spell. Would as many people as possible if you have time upload your depth to the following link. 

You can update it hourly if you want from your Postcode even if you have nothing at all just upload the depth, it gives Dan a better idea of where snow has fallen etc (Much like his Lightning Strike Maps in the Summer)

Yes, large low pressure anchored in the N Sea can also spell costal flooding issues - where are we on tides next weekend?

Metcheck so JFF - based on GFS I believe but good to look at for my location - Farnham

Obviously only 'indicative' at this point but are the depths quoted in mm of rain or are they snow depths?

[South East and East Anglia Weather Discussion January 2021 onwards]

Of minor meteorological interest, I can not recall having such a long period of sleet, more than 4 hours, normally I always think of sleet being transitional either to or from snow as the temperature rises or falls, not often the conditions remain conducive to sleet for a long period.

Any sign of settling over there yet? Keep us updated, might head to Dunstable Downs 

Annoyingly the Dunstable Downs webcam seems to be offline today.

Last week snow event generated about 20 pages before a single flake fell. I wonder what the two odd pages this week tells us for tomorrow....

Front looks to be fizzling for w herts

[South East and East Anglia Weather Discussion January 2021 onwards]

We are forecast minus 5 overnight, I assume there must be some pretty co!d uppers. When was the last time the SE saw temperatures this low?

Large cannabis factory discovered near Bank of England

The Square Mile's first-ever cannabis factory was found after a tip-off about a "strong smell".

 

Markets hit a new high today though - I always thought b(w)ankers were more 'Champagne & charlie' types - which might be their only chance of seeing a few flakes of white stuff on Sunday the way the models are going.

Its also gone so quiet on here as well, the rivers here in mid Norfolk not really gone down since the floods at Christmas...lots of the flood plains are full so not sure where it will all go. However weather quest said the far east of the region will escape the worst of the  ? this week  so hopefully the rivers will cope...I reckon we we be seeing devastating news In the northwest by Friday 

Lets hope it is not as bad as feared, not sure the country can cope with a flooding crisis at the same time as a covid crisis and lockdown.

The models are showing quite widely 10-20mm of precipitation so depending whether the majority falls as snow then totals could be quite high.  The shift to amber has not added depth but has seen the likelihood increase.

[South East and East Anglia Weather Discussion January 2021 onwards]

When I were a lad in the 80s and we got these snow to rain breakdown events often because it was frontal snow it would arrive with lots of wind (a wind and rain event but snow first) and after the warm up and rain the general cover would clear but there would still be massive drifts behind the hedgerows.  Are we looking at strong enough winds tomorrow morning that if there is a spell of snow it could lead to big drifts?  My location is forecast 15mph, not sure if this is enough for drifting?

[South East and East Anglia Weather Discussion January 2021 onwards]

So yesterday's front that brought only rain was quite happy to stall, tomorrow's that might bring snow on the leading edge will sweep through....

There we are then. 

 

Note it gets the warning more for its potential impact than its potential likelihood....

So it has finally got cold enough...and of course the precipitation has stopped

Harmonie model did very well with last Friday's snow showers off the north sea covering parts of Essex, London & Kent

Harmonie model is going for wintry showers further south covering London & Kent this Thursday from approx 16:00 - 21:00 hrs 

Always remember, subject to change 

I don't think Harmonie got there until right before the event, slightly earlier runs were putting the precipitation further N across central London and then before that N London.
