Got a feeling we might see more from beast ii than beast I here in Coulsdon.  We seem to be slap bang in the middle of the Amber warning area so probably good news they have finished putting my new roof on today☺

[Kent, Home counties and south London general weather discussion 25/02/2018 onwards]

snowing really heavily now in Coulsdon and probably now have the heaviest snow fall of the whole period.

[Kent, Home counties and south London general weather discussion 25/02/2018 onwards]

snowing really heavily now in Coulsdon and has .just about covered the thick layer of ice , so its going to be tricky out there.

[Kent, Home counties and south London general weather discussion 25/02/2018 onwards]

very light freezing rain here, and everything outside is lethal to even try and walk on. temp though is on the way down now having got above freezing for the first time in 3 days.

[Kent, Home counties and south London general weather discussion 25/02/2018 onwards]

snowing quite heavily now and being blown around in quite a strong wind. last gust 53mph.

[Kent, Home counties and south London general weather discussion 25/02/2018 onwards]

as Steve mentioned earlier we need to see if instability develops further east to the main low centre, and it does appear to be the case looking at the latest radar

[Kent, Home counties and south London general weather discussion 25/02/2018 onwards]

looking out of the window we have very light flakes drifting down, which seems to tie in with the radar showing us right on the edge of the precipitation.. It seems the M23 is the barrier this time rather than the infamous M4

Just been out for a bracing walk and have to say the wind when it gusts, cuts right through you.

for those interested in how the country's power supply is doing i've attached the usual link below. it's been in amber the last few days but touched red a couple of times. if the gas supply goes then as you will see there isn't much spare capacity to call on.

it's been steady snow, with the occasional heavy burst, for the last hour here.it has recovered the road after the wind cleared it earlier

 

[Kent, Home counties and south London general weather discussion 25/02/2018 onwards]

Snow pepping up here now and wind seems to have died down a bit.

[Kent, Home counties and south London general weather discussion 25/02/2018 onwards]

Had probably 1cm more snow overnight. Temp went down to -13.7c

Currently-8.7c 

[Kent, Home counties and south London general weather discussion 25/02/2018 onwards]

We have approx 1cm of snow cover here in Coulsdon but it' helped the temperature plummet tonight. Currently -10.1c dp -9c . A few showers would be welcome though. 

[Kent, Home counties and south London general weather discussion 25/02/2018 onwards]

Very heavy Snow shower in City of London that's even settling on pavements  

[Kent, Home counties and south London general weather discussion 25/02/2018 onwards]

Cold here -4.2 with blue sky and not a breath of. Wind. 

[Kent, Home counties and south London general weather discussion 25/02/2018 onwards]

Nothing here in Coulsdon.  Activity aĺl to the south. 

[Kent, Home counties and south London general weather discussion 25/02/2018 onwards]

Are you sure that's not polystyrene packing from ikea! 

[Kent, Home counties and south London general weather discussion 25/02/2018 onwards]

At present in coulsdon it' s clear, cold and the stars are out. Not a cloud in sight. Hope for something later as a few of the beefy shows approaching the east coast are a bit more northerly so hopefully yhe can drift across. 

[Kent, Home counties and south London general weather discussion 25/02/2018 onwards]

Heavy Snow shower  in city of London, that is actually lying on the various grass patches around. not on pavements though.  Also a very brisk wind when crossing London bridge.

[Kent, Home counties and south London general weather discussion 25/02/2018 onwards]

A quick" where is it snowing looking out the train window ?" Update. Coulsdon to Croydon and Norwood = snowing. Anerleu to  new cross not a flake. New cross to London Bridge a few flakes in the air.

Ps not sure who mike is or why there’s only a quarter of him. Damn predictive text  

[Kent, Home counties and south London general weather discussion 25/02/2018 onwards]

Heavy snow shower in coulsdon while waiting for the train but the 1/4 mike up the track there is nothing. Then some at Purley a further mile on. Shows the nature of showers. 

[Kent, Home counties and south London general weather discussion 25/02/2018 onwards]

A few snow showers now that have givenpavements and untreated roads a dusting . 

[Kent, Home counties and south London general weather discussion 25/02/2018 onwards]

Just the odd flake falling here in Coulsdon at present 

[SE and East Anglia general weather discussion 11/02/2018 onwards]

There' much talk about Friday and uppers being to warm, but I think given the cold pooling below and snow cover , coupled with the likelihood from meto of low stalling in channel that it will be snow all the way. 

Mind you it is 5 days away yet, and we'e plenty to enjoy before then.

Beautiful winters day, but wind is definitely increasing and dew point was -4 at noon and is now -8 . We are on the edge of the Amber warning but in the past Coulsdon does quite well with Thames streamers, in 2010 we had 44cm up here on the north downs. I'e a feeling we might see similar or hopefully more by the end of the week.
