snowblind Hope you feel better!
There is a whisper out there for something mid Feb but we are really leaving it late again to have any real fun.
Bring on Spring IMO.

Dead on arrival this one for most of us. Those of you north enough might see a flake but another washout.
Winter 23' is sadly looking like a poor one.

I think the models are showing all the fun on this one too far north for us.
We have had 1 too far south and now 1 too far north. Will we get one more shot before spring? Will it be just right?!

Something brewing in the mod thread.
Arguably going to be the best shot of the winter coming up, fingers crossed.

Bloody hell! .. My chimney is big that if it came down I imagine it would cause a lot of damage to my roof..
There must have been lack of maintenance done on it. I've been thinking of getting rid of my one to save money in the long run.
It seemed to have done quite a bit of damage to the roof, if I had parked 2 cars further forward I doubt I would have a windscreen this morning.
A tiny reminder that while we all love the weather, the chase and the thrill, it really can be a powerful and dangerous force. Had someone been walking along there in the early hours I have no doubt that would have been fatal.

Managed to survive the worst of that wind mostly unscathed. Lost a bit of bamboo screening in the garden but nothing major.
A neighbour has lost their entire chimney which was scarily close to coming down where I had parked last night.

First proper frost on the car this morning. Not the worst I have seen this winter but certainly took a few minutes to clear it off!
I personally am going to 'enjoy' the mild for the next week, less heating use, not getting out of bed into an ice box etc etc!

In the extended outlook, the Met Office mention a likelihood of the Wind turning into the East, which if it should occur, would give our Region a shot of seeing some Snow.
Would be nice if our region got a little cheeky easterly after a lot of the rest of the country has had fun this week!

-4 this morning for me.
Mod thread fairly set that nothing brewing cold wise for at least 7 days.
Consensus is that us in the SE should see the least of the rain over this mild spell which is at least something.
Personally looking forward to a few mild days to turn the heating off.

What a great way to look of it, glass half full with ice instead of half empty.
I guess you have developed them traits over the years being a Gillingham fan lol only joking.
If we couldn't take the lows there wouldn't be many of us in the Priestfield!

Really is a dead zone for interesting weather in recent years.
Named storms either hit Northern France or Northern England.
Snow, run the radar. In a nutshell.
Thunderstorms....need I say more.
I know not all the above floats everyone's boar, but I love all extremes and it is no exaggeration to say the above generally miss us in the South for the last decade.
All I hold onto is that every bad year is a year closer to us getting something special as eventually the averages have to play out!

Don't know about other areas of EA/SE however in Ely the night-time temperatures haven't been overly Cold this week - 0-1C, with minimal visual frost on cars or pavements. Due to the wind/breeze maybe?
The worst thing about this weeks cold spell has been the bitter feel during the days with temperatures not rising much.
Disappointingly for most other than the east coast there has been very little to talk about snow wise - the set-up has not produced this week which is a shame but not a huge surprise, NW'ly's rarely deliver for this part of the world.
Not had a bit of frost in Medway this week. Got up early every day to clear the car and it's been clear.

Sadly looking even into far FI there isn't much cooking at the moment. Going to be mild and rain for a fair while now.

We have been royally shafted by this one!
Can't believe how close we all came.

The sat24.com radar is worth a look as it goes further out to SW of Ireland
.... does that look waaay further north than it should be to anyone else...

GEM and JMA just an out manage it. The others are doing their improbable following the contours of the coastline act. A very very slim chance this will amount to anything for anywhere in our region now.
The high seems to have pushed further south than expected which kills that idea dead

Like watching a repeat on TV for something really eventful happening. You know the outcome but still wish it happened differently.... typical example. missed penalties in England matches
Everytime Southgate steps up I think 'this time he has to score'

I'm guessing when the Wednesday low starts to appear on the radar we'll be able to see if it's further north or not? I know virtually all of the models are saying no but I just can't let this one go
I love the madness this hobby creates.
I know it won't get here. But I still will check the radar returns later..

It is a fairly bleak part of France tbh. Things are more interesting as you head a bit further west towards the Cap de Gris and uplands. Imagine that will be in the firing line looking at Meteo France updates
Not massively different to swathes of our south coast to be honest.

Maybe it could still shift a bit further north, I mean 20/30 miles further inland would include a fairly large chunk of Kent and Sussex, 50 miles and it's not far from South London.
I'd be happy with just a 20 mile shift north from an IMBY perspective.
Sadly I think this is well and truly written off I am afraid. If anything it now seems to be tracking further south. I think the arctic system from the north has had a bit more power than expected and that has pushed it further south.

Well on the last day of Winter let us assess what it has brought us.
1 day of falling snow.
0 days laying snow.
The fact that in the past 20 days we have barely moved on 5 full pages on the SE thread is indicative of how poor of a winter it has been. Absolutely forgetable, but generally exactly as the models have called it. We have rarely gotten out of the FI 10 day chart hunting in terms of any real snow or cold coming in.
1/10 as a score, and only because I saw a few flakes fall.
