Had some rain here this morning.  As much as I'd like the snow to get me out of going to the office on Wednesday, I think rain is as much as we'll see

Think it still good chance early hrs tomorrow...

Colder than forecast here this morning at -0.8c with a dew point of -2.1c and the sun is rising in clear skies.

Saw the precip is heading into Norfolk with snow on its eastern edge so the lower 850’s must have hung on there

I did have sun for 10 mins.

Now clouded over..

Just woke up to snow incoming on radar.

Will it get here?  

[SE, London & EA - Weather Discussion]

There's nothing the met Office can do but wait.

They simply don't know yet.

That's why they havnt said anything.

I mean they can't can they?

I don't know when it was last,that I had 5 inch layer of ice on my pond for days on end...

Pretty cold here compared to alot of winters.

Not much snow so far.

But daytime temps have been very low.

For 2 weeks at a time.

Ladbible online going for a snow bomb...dated 20/01/23

Just read an article 

to have a decent amount of snow again as the next month begins.

 

This seems to be heading in off the sea from Greenland, hitting on the north of Ireland and the west of Scotland on February 2, before heading on down across large parts of Scotland and into the northern England over the course of the next day or so.

According to a report in the Daily Star, Netweather’s forecaster Nick Finnis said that a ‘high latitude blocking towards Greenland’ will bring a ‘-NAO’ towards us.

That means a North Atlantic Oscillation dragging cold air towards us in a negative phase.

In layman’s terms, that means ‘wintry precipitation’ will be visited upon us.

 

Ladbible then went on to say how we could get a polar vortex

Watching netweather do the hokey cokey with the snow symbols on forecast.

3pm snow,3pm rain,3pm snow,3 pm nothing lol.

That's what it's all about apparently  

Think it's worth a lamppost watch here in colchester tomorrow late afternoon....

Sounds like you will be burping and squeaking from both ends later then

cold cuts of gammon & turkey with Jacket spuds and salad on the lunch menu here today washed down with a very nice Chardonnay smoked salmon and prawn canapés for this evening with cocktails my baileys cheesecake seems to be disappearing quickly either someone had a midnight feast or a very early breakfast

Much better day here weather wise - touch of frost first thing, blue sky and sunshine, felt quite warm sitting in the tub watching the squirrels play - back to the telly box now, will have square eyes soon ‍

 

 

Woke up to a very clean kitchen. 

Seems a fairy came in the night to clean for me.

Bless my sweet Maisey  

So been watching the box and eating all day  

Hope you enjoying yourselves. 

Have you seen that chart for nye?

I believe that when I see it out the window

The radar doesn't say what's actually falling.

I sat all day under pink a few yrs back and it was because the dew points were so low it was too dry.

Nothing was making land fall.

 

More showers bubbling up over the south east over Clacton area..

Stuff bubbling  out of nowhere to the east of Norwich.. 

Could this be the right time for some streamers to appear?

[SE, London & EA - Weather Discussion]

I am thinking that lot to the sw is further north than was modeled.

Some people in the sw and South looking to get a nice few flakes I think.

No idea what way it will track...

Woke up to a winter wonderland, haven’t been outside yet but I’d say 2-3cm, looks nice powdery snow too so I’m happy with that ! Hopefully the main roads won’t be too bad either - stay safe everyone and enjoy your snow ️ 

Brilliant  

Just goes to show.

I had no idea that would double back that far .

Awesome.
