They are always an hour behind.
I always like this one in these situations. Stay away from the forecast tab(I think its automated). But certainly the temp observations are valid:

Met Office has snow from 3am tommorrow to 12pm on Monday
GL, Woodchurch! BTW, I think it was you, who, in the last episode, told me rain had arrived. So I gave up, and went to bed. Most strange. From cold and icy to wet cold rain in 30 mins

What about increase risk of warm sector if it moves north and west?
It's like Russian Roulette

Ashford never gonna win, lacks any kind of altitude and just a wrong spot but this time is gonna be a decent covering from 2am.
Dave, I remember we had a ENE. It was just perfect for N Sea convection. Any further south, and the channel warmed things up too much. Any further N (say, Herne Bay) and the showers did not have enough chance to develop. It *really* fell back then!

After a winter which has felt like being told your deliveroo rider is nearly there, only to see him vanish over the other side of town on the app, we are almost at there.
He's at the end of our path. Finally. Let's hope it's still warm. Er, cold.
What a terrible analogy.
No, it's great. Though in my case Uber. Gets 2 streets away, then unexplicably goes back to base!

Dave you forget a couple of decent, well, *very* decent falls. Did you live here in the early 2000s. We really did win for totals that time!

I really wish they would stop saying "temperatures will struggle" - no they won't; they are not living entities, they are simply measurements and cannot try to do anything.
Yeh, just like when the models "struggle"! I decode this as "the models are not showing me what I want to see!

I must try and get some sleep so I don't miss tonight's excitement. Been up for 30 hrs now with only a 1 1/2 hr nap!
Now is a good time to get some kip. Nothing happening for, I reckon, 10-12 hours. zzzzz

Does anyone know if the London Heat Island effect is playing a part in models showing a shadow of low snowfall to the south and west of the city?
If that’s the case - is there the possibility that this is overcooked, and due to the pandemic/lockdown there’s going to be less heat thereto disrupt the flow?
Dunno, but I wouldn't want to live in London any more. And that's not even just for the weather!
Let's face it 1 or 2 Deg C makes all the difference. Either it falls as rain, and if it does snow, it lasts less long. Pandemic makes no diff, I would say its the sheer (over)population of the area in terms of dwelling that b_uggers your chances up -- so situtation very normal. If you want decent chances of Snow, do a 'me' and get the hell out of London!-

I am smugly smiling to myself having read some posts on a local FB group page that said the cold and snow is never going to happen because the sun is out today
Be less smug. It is never guaranteed. Could well still rain. Some charts show this already.

10 days is FI but you're right..it won't come off likes this..let people have their fun though!
When can we expect your analysis?
When there's 24 hours or less in the forecast!
-
It's all in FI. SEVEN days out. La-la land for sure. This wouldn't be the first time professional forecasters directly contradict these dodgy models. Guess who is normally right.
Watch it get pushed back each day. I've got my safety helmet on, in case of flying toys!-

I don't like the look of it. A narrow band, drifting too far to the north. A little drizzle here, perhaps? Nite nite

So, below is the timelapse of the cumulonimbus cloud that gave Cambridge a dusting of snow:
A timelapse of another CB which was looking towards Essex:
And some pictures I took in the afternoon:
Overall, a good day for convection!
Look at them dark clouds sliding under the nimbus

F-ck! Just missed Ashford by barely a couple of miles, that last shower. Might have Folkestone's name on it, lookin at Radar

I see others are finding the same as myself, at 1127am according to the met office we were going to get quite a lot of snow on sunday and now at 1500hrs the met office have us dry with cloud what has happened ??
Yep -- there's still a warning (about to be removed) but nothing predicted to fall from the sky, apart from some light rain tomorrow late afternoon.

Looked out the Window here in Ashford.
Snow everywhere! (but not here it seems ;-))
What little did lay is melting like mad. What's all that about?
This event, like many others, was hardly worth the ramping, hyping that went before it.
In a word: C R A P if you are a snow lover. There's my moan. Off to bed shortly and expect it to be gone by 10am. Doh!
