What is happening in Hayward’s Heath or burgess hill as it has stopped here again and looks like the front is decaying

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

This band better not decay bet it gets here that would be a kick in the teeth. As we had snow for 15 mins which has given a dusting but has now stopped the band looked so promising when it was heading here. Also radar does seem a bit iffy as it shows precipitation right over but I’m dry 

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

Just had a good 15 mins of snow but now stopped 

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

Looks like this band is going to give a decent dumping. Looks like It’s intensity has been underestimated. Got friends near bath who have 4 inches and it only snowed there for an hour. Looks like our area is going to do well and give snow for an good couple of hours

For me 1-2 hours of probably of wet snow between 9-10 am followed by a wait for the fading occlusion to drift south and then minimal. Met office app suggests sleet only too. Normally the worst case scenario is the real scenario in expected snowfalls. Probably get more on Monday when not mentioned

Looks like we are both going to miss out again. Why is it so hard for our area to get zone when places just to our north and east have seen snow. Eastbound has even had snow down to the beach this winter.

Ooh lovely. 7hrs of rain for parts of Kent/Essex/London. Hope this is very very wrong.

That would be an kick in the Ghonads  for

ppl of Sussex and Kent. Will be radar watching tomorrow 

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

I will not be happy if I do some how miss out on snow tomorrow. 

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

And now hit has all melted

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

Back to sleet here got a slushy covering on the cars which is already melting. Need some heavier precipitation pronto

 

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

Finally getting snow here settling on the cars 

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

@chionomaniac what’s your thinking for our area tomorrow will we finally get a covering? 

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

Where has @Steve Murr gone I’m sure he will be quit happy with the way the models have gone over the last 12hrs.

If you look close enough on the first snow map there’s a tiny patch of white in the SE. Anyone like to guess where I live?

Yep just down the road from me has been tough for us to get any decent snow for where we live for the last few years 

[Model output discussion - cold spell approaching?]

Chaps this period is going to be v tricky for the ops to follow even more so for the ensembles. It is all about weather that low separates. We all know that the gfs can be pretty poor at modelling split energy so just keep toys in Parma until all models can agree on how the energy spits. I’m sure @nick sussex will back me up about the comments of gfs being poor about splitting energy.  

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

At 126h!!!!!

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

What happened to @Steve Murr? Good charts this evening. 

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

How much of a shift west on the front later in the week do we need for Sussex to get a chance of seeing snow?

Aperge UK view now loaded, looks great for Eastern areas!

For everywhere except the southeast. Sorry for the imby but not seen any falling snow for Ages but how much of a shift do we need for the south east to get in on the action? 

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

V rare for my area but have hore frost falling off the trees this morning which is at least 1/2cm long never seen in my area. 

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

Just v wet snow here. Not settling at all 

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

No nothing and dew points across the region are crap

 

[Model output discussion - Jan 3rd onwards]

Icon is what we want to see happening next with energy going under a blocking high that is over Iceland. 

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

No just sleet here  

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

Hmm have seen a couple of snowflakes this morning but the dam precipitation loses intensity by the time it gets here. Would have a good covering if it was heavy enough

Every app I have says it’s snowing here in Crowborough. I can confirm it is not snowing. It’s not even raining. 

Just down the road from you quote me when you see snow as next village in line after you lol.
