Wow that's quite something!
"Isolated extremely severe wind gusts" with lightning and tornadoes. Yikes.
I think they're hinting at the possibility of a Sting Jet. We'll see. They're hard to forecast and no indication of one yet but if it does happen, expect a red Met Office warning pretty damn quick.

Has London/Home counties ever had an amber warning for wind? I'm struggling to think of a time it has happened before.
-
Yes, great pictures, but was it really a warm front? It was moving south and replaced by crystal clear skies. Cold front if anything or a stalled warm front?
-
Any thoughts on the fog risk for Tuesday night?
-
That was one hell of a storm in Central London! Part of our offices have been evacuated due to flooding.

HIRLAM is especially good for those of us in NW Londn, 3-5cm of snow.
Hope you're right but to me Hirlam looks to stall the front a bit too far south for us. GFS 12z showing a greater northward progression but ppn fizzles out very quickly so we'd be lucky to see a couple of cm.

WOAH, was not expecting this. We're not far off 10cm here in Barnet. None of the roads have been gritted, traffic is gridlocked and many cars and buses have been abandoned. Without doubt the biggest flakes I've ever seen. Love it when the weather surprises you.

Any idea on it's expected intensity over Osaka? My partner is on holiday there. Any links for tracking this thing e.g. sat/doppler would be greatly appreciated.

Wonderful huge skies. Everything is very elevated.
-
We had 2mm on the 30th of May and nothing since. Was hoping for a bit from this evening's cold front but it's fizzling out over the Midlands.

View from the Shard, picking up the individual cells cross to the north of London town.

Nice! That mortgage must have set you back a bit but worth it for the views I'm sure.

Those cells just around the northern sector of the M25 should require close attention. Really pepped up in the last 30 mins.
I'm a couple of miles south of them watching from my balcony. The speed at which it's growing is spectacular to watch. The updrafts must be very strong. The anvil is extending south and what looks like a healthy inflow belt to its SSE or it's just backbuilding.

Just had those cells explode over my head in North London. Insane amounts of rain. We've had 14mm in less than 10 minutes! Can hear several alarms going off from nearby buildings.

Right on the border of that amber. Stuck at Heathrow airport waiting for a delayed flight out of here. The longer it takes the more likely the snow will affect things.

The 18z Hirlam for 11.00am tomorrow. I'd take that thank you very much.
Arg. Was hoping to fly out from Heathrow tomorrow evening. Worth noting Hirlam is still at odds with the 18z GFS where the ppn band is a lot weaker. Will be interesting to see which one wins out.
Holiday or Snowmageddon. I'll be happy with either.

People below need to watch out

Maybe wearing one these might be worth a go ?
The neighbour's cats usually sit down below. Might be needing to use one of their 9 lives if that icicle becomes airborne.

This thing has grown from nothing over the last few hours. Almost half a meter in length. Think I might need to call out the gutterers.

Winds have really picked up in the last 10 minutes. Blowing up big clouds of powder into the air. -3.6C at midday is incredible!

I am reaching peak frustration. Can't see anything exciting for north London tonight, showers seem to die as soon as they reach land. Although someone correct me if I'm missing something.
Frustrating couple of days for the north London massive - even that blizzard that crossed London missed me earlier, and dropped an inch in Ealing, literally 15 minutes' drive away.
Hey ho, it's only the weather!
Amen brother. Looking at these charts last week most of us would have been amazed if we weren't under 5cm by now at the very least.
Still, I've enjoyed the extremely rare phenomenon of wearing full winter clothing on the Tube and still feeling cold. And our Indian folks in the office were staring in awe at the flurrys we had on Monday. For some of them it was their first sight of snow.

My my this sun is strong.
This area is really bereft of much cloud let alone showers over the last 2 days....any reasons?
The line of that box has roughly followed the direction of the winds over the last few days so maybe not surprisinng that we haven't seen much. To our north and south are the Wash and Thames Estuary which help converge winds and create a constant flow of showers. In the middle is the fat, hump of East Anglia and anyone unfortunate enough to be downwind of this misses out on the convergence. Any showers over the hump have to travel miles and miles over freezing ground so die out before making it too far south.

Euro4 snow depths for 9am tomorrow.

Kiss of death for a lot of people in this thread from Mr Murr in the other thread.
That's why they split the thread yesterday. Keep all of us moaners away from the excitement.
Gutting to see such incredible charts this week but probably only a couple of centimetres snow. We still have nothing. Could wake up to a slight covering from any rogue showers from the convergence zone tonight, then a bit more tomorrow afternoon as the line moves west but that's about it as convective snow for North London/South Herts I think.
Bring on Spring.

It is strange isn't it. I expect most of them to be called off tomorrow morning, there's no way you can play in these conditions. All Belgian and Dutch top flight games have already been postponed.
