I was working in Grove Park that day and there was even more snow there than in Dartford I agree south London Surrey did the best but I was happy with our 6.5-7inches back home none the less the most I'd seen since 1991 when I opened the back door and snow came up to my neck as a 4year old lol. 2010 we had double 2009s amount though it fell over 2.5days

For me in Croydon 2009 was the best since I've been an adult, came up to my knees.

Depressing to have known all that moisture just sat out in the channel refusing to budge. Still, could be worse, Rod Stewart could be singing on the radio….

What's wrong with rod Stewart?

Really getting beyond the joke lol, really heavy rain at the min and not a hint of sleet. What I expected from the last two events tbh, lol, but one had landing snow, in December, and falling snow, last cold spell. At least I've seen some, I guess 

[SE, London and East Anglia Weather Discussion - Dec 2023 on]

Still just rain here, wish I lived a bit higher, it's probably snow in Whitfield, if it's snow in kingsdown

Have I learnt my lesson! Prob not! The lesson to be learnt is do not get caught up in the mad thread! It’s all ramp FI stuff then when it comes to the event it all gets watered down and watered down and we got nothing.

True snow wise but the cold spell is here.

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.

Have a strange feeling Sundays low, or whenever it comes, won't miss anyone unfortunately.

Were you outside Monday last week lol? We got pasted for a couple of hours.

18z Arpege ensemble gives a much improved snow chance on the 06z.

Imagine if this perturbation came off 

 

No thanks that explains why mine turns to rain on some models.

Has anyone noticed that the PPN on the radar looks is a lot further north? 

It is almost hitting Cornwall, don't worry if it's rain, over there, we'll have east winds by the time it gets here.

When I left for work this morning it was -4.5 , it is now currently 3.6 thought it was going to be colder if I’m honest

I've still got frost on cars here, don't know temp, but also what looks like under developed shower cloud moving west to east.

Alexis do you think Kent will see anything? 

I don't know but it's almost touching Cornwall now, think it might be further north, or perhaps follow the coast, I'm hoping for the former.

Me later when the precip all heads through the channel and France even though that's what the forecast has been for days:

Yep think we'll all be the same.
