Getting heavier here and trying to settle on wheelie bins, grass, cars and roofs! Not quite there yet. 

As mentioned, a staggering difference of temperature across the SE quadrant. 

You can go off people.......................

Temp 0.5c . Dewpoint 0c

Dusting on most surfaces! Best daytime covering that I remember since the BFTE 2018, wouldn’t be surprised to see a cm or two in some locations north in our region before it stops

Wibble

When is the next rain .....I mean possible snow event?

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

No precipitation at all in Potters Bar now. Just a howling, nagging wind.

Can see why the despondency in the Model Thread from the 00z Runs, GFS had an average of 4 Inches of Rain for the South and South East in the period from 14th to 29th Jan which would be a serious problem with the water table so high. Some of the more extreme ensembles had 150mm of Rain (6 Inches) and also the ECM out to Day 10 had multiple Low Pressures barrelling across Southern England as well.

Not good

Sounds about right.

The winter of discontent.

4C here in Potters Bar.

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

Absolutely flooded on the back roads to Potters Bar. Never seen it this bad in my 20 year commute to work.

It will be my birthday and I would love nothing more than snow as my present.
I am told people were knee deep in snow when I was born in '79. 

Fingers crossed then.

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

Looks like we're back in the game then, especially for Satdee.

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

What a thoroughly miserable morning. That snizzly rain that goes right through you and clings to you.

3 degrees and 'orrible.

 

Fingers crossed for Saturday then, as per Paul's post above. Would make a nice change.

Yes the "Pumpathon" over the Pacific has to be balanced out by the atmosphere hence very shortly there will be a "Dumpathon" over our side. 

The Pumpathon was a damp squid for me last night. Alas, too many interruptions.

This is why all the.....its nailed on should be ignored and just continue watching the output until general consensus prevails over a few days and even then its not nailed on as we all know it could all flip at a toss of a coin

Just as it looks like we are going to have clear skies tonite, once again in comes the low cloud. Thus preventing a good frost from forming. We cant even get a decent frost in this (so called) cold spell!!

I was looking forward to some freezing fog this morning. 

That went south as well.

Bit of luck we will see something for the snow starved south 

If this verifies, apart from the 2 flakes I saw the other day, I'll still be starved.

I'd laugh if I could be bothered.

Don't eat yellow snow, mate.

I see the slim snow potential for tomorrow has gone the way of the pooper. Useless.
