There wasn't on the ITV news meridian just now either, and they get forecasts from the met. In fact there was a warning, so cue the panic buying, to get anything essential done before the warning starts.
I got some thunder snow from a northerly when I lived in West Norwood, not sure when it was. After 91 though. It was that event when the winds were just perfect for a phenomenon, that sent showers SW from the gap, with a spin on them. I remember the forecaster getting rather excited about this rare thing, it had a name I can't remember. Anyway it was just like a summer storm but with lots and lots of snow
I'll do the same on Saturday evening if the DP is low enough, and I can see where it is. Along the line of don't ignore the weather warning, it's coming.
Yep hopefully that warm front under the cold front just off shore from Kent, occludes or just isn't there, but while it is there, Kent will get warm air mixing in, ahead of the triple point occlusion. Talking about an old met office chart posted yesterday. I'm not sure what they show now though.
We can and do discuss them here. I think it's partly the reason for regionals. And to contain rows when somewhere gets weather, storms snow something unusual.
It didn't turn sleety in Croydon, but stayed very light though, we still had snow three days later on the ground. Quite a long time for snow to stay around in London. This was in central Croydon, so south Croydon and Shirley, Addington etc probably did even better.
Yep all the ground water will freeze, the snow on top, then the warm up happens, and the problems we have now, are magnified, because the water already there has gone no where, and the frozen stuff and snow all melts.
