Everything downgraded again to all sleet for me on Monday. Dew point still 2, which is annoying me to unfeasible levels now ?

[SE and East Anglia generalweather discussion 08/11/2017 onwards]

Dew point still 2 here. I can't see it coming down enough to produce anything tomorrow, despite Met Office's insistence I'll get at least light snow. I still think it's brilliant so many of us got to see decent snow today but I hope there's another event soon and I see some too

Still at 0 with dp finally gone to -1

Congrats. I haven't been able to get below 2 for dp 

[SE and East Anglia generalweather discussion 08/11/2017 onwards]

Sleet here now, most impressive of the day. Temp 2.1, DP 2

Go home, MetO, you're drunk ?

I'm pretty sure this sort of thing is against the Geneva Convention.

i'm looking at the radar, watching a small pink blob, hoping i might catch 10 minutes of light sleet... how sad is that

Same. And I've been shamelessly stood at my back door with torch on my head trying to see sleet ?

[SE and East Anglia generalweather discussion 08/11/2017 onwards]

Dew point finally just got down to 2  Not sure my nerves can take much more of this ?

That doesn't match up to GFS which is forecasting heavy snow tomorrow

Excellent! Really hoping the GFS proves correct, then. I'm so snow-starved it's painful - jinxed everything by buying a snow brush for the car in 2013 ?

How on earth has farnham got heavy snow but here in North Herts it's sleet?  

It's nonsense! No way that's going to happen. For most of today the best Monday forecast has been for a light flurry of sleet and even that's pushing it.

 

ETA and it's downgraded again ?

[SE and East Anglia generalweather discussion 08/11/2017 onwards]

MetO has lost its damn mind! ?

[SE and East Anglia generalweather discussion 08/11/2017 onwards]

Currently enjoying the most pathetically light sleet imaginable. Have to turn your head to the side and squint. Kiddo is delighted ?

[SE and East Anglia generalweather discussion 08/11/2017 onwards]

Rain has stopped and temps are slowly creeping down again. Met Office forecast isn't loading now but BBC weather has changed tomorrow's light snow to sleet.

We forecasters love to tempt fate...

9z UKV in ups the snow totals for a line from E Berks to S Suffolk tomorrow, could be 5-7cm or so on that.

Could you just jinx Farnham for me please?

[SE and East Anglia generalweather discussion 08/11/2017 onwards]

I've still got light snow in the forecast for tomorrow but I think I'll just have to look for the next event now. Seeing everyone's snow photos gives me a chance to live vicariously ?

[SE and East Anglia generalweather discussion 08/11/2017 onwards]

Wind's picking up a bit where I am, temp 5.5 and DP 6

So your forecast was for rain and you got rain, lol. That's not really a downgrade then is it? Good luck for later though.

I didn't mean what I am currently getting was a downgrade! ? Forecast for later is currently downgraded 

ETA: just reread what I originally wrote and I could've worded it better ?

What was the forecast for 9am? - that is for later so how can you know yet, there is still a long line of precipitation stretched over Ireland to come

Forecast for this morning was for rain, so totally expected. I'll be delighted if we get something proper later but not holding my breath. Temps slowly creeping down, though.

[SE and East Anglia generalweather discussion 08/11/2017 onwards]

I'm chuffed to see so many people in the region getting proper snow! Jealous, obviously, but nice that it's not just been hogged by regions that do better than we usually do.

Downgrade? For your area it was looking like rain all the way. 

It's flipped between rain and sleet over the past couple of days but I woke up to this forecast for later today which has now downgraded

Still wet here in Farnham, Surrey not a flake or even an icy splat yet! ?

 

Absolute garbage, isn't it?!  Temp 3.4, DP 3. Snow still forecast for later but a bit of a downgrade. I'll believe it when I see it.

[SE and East Anglia generalweather discussion 08/11/2017 onwards]

Sleet! Proper sleet too.

Here I’m Binfield we have sleet falling. No doubt it’ll be rain soon 

I'm a bit south from you, about 45 mins away. Nothing here at all but I've brought a torch up to bed with me to try to see something ? Desperate, moi?

[SE and East Anglia generalweather discussion 08/11/2017 onwards]

Still nothing falling here so off to bed. Forecast reckons it should be snowing now so I don't hold out much hope for its accuracy for tomorrow ? Don't think I've ever invested so much emotion in a few flakes before! Night, all...good luck for everyone tomorrow!
