lets hope this clear sky can now allow the temps to drop away !!!

Paul- I rewound the snow shower that hit here an hour ago to see where it came from ( track wise ) & it was south of Derby down the M1, the current strung out snow streamer on the eastern edge of the polar low is aligned to Essex ATM - S

Radar exploding into life over NW wales!!

Synoptically on of the best charts you can get http://modeles.meteociel.fr/modeles/gens/runs/2015012918/gensnh-19-1-228.png All models have actually trended to the 00z GEM today !!!!! S

Steve ( in sussex ) the convergence zone is EXACTLY where the NMM5 model put it for tonight which will extend down in the next 5 - 6 hours into SE England... Also the GFS has produced its BEST set of ENS in 2 years. some in the mix http://modeles.meteociel.fr/modeles/gens/runs/2015012918/gensnh-19-1-228.png S

remember 20-25 inches of snow POSS- you will be 16 I think by the end of tonight.

GFS 18z Mean @ 114 http://modeles.meteociel.fr/modeles/gens/runs/2015012918/gensnh-21-1-114.png More blocking over Iceland with 'green' heights there now- the 12z mean has the jet south already of this location. Also the low in Europe dropping further south- pushing everything west. 4 consecutive upgrades from the GFS ...... ( in terms of longevity of cold- If we carry on like this with the energy going in the right places the -10c line will move back into EA at 144 on the overnights.... S PS look for the mean to reach -8 @ day 6 for the 18z.

Our next house is going to be the top of Vigo @ 200M.- 655 Feet up. 3 years to go! Wet here in greenhithe- 3 M ASL. still snowing though.

Hi Will Ive sent you a PM I think you will see 20/ 25 inches this week

the heavy snow now moving away towards Medway & SE Essex- Places like Bluebell / lordswood / walderslade /Wrotham/ vigo / culverstone will get a cm or 2 S

Snow scale 8 here - Anywhere above 50-75M will be getting cover

Daniel where are you in SE London- Rotherhithe?

N/NW Kent / SE London SE Essex is bang in line with that line of current showers... S
