To all those west of me in the Amber zone, its so pathetic and sleety its not even settling on roof, bins or cars here so good luck 

You never know it might intensify as it heads towards you

Sticking by the notion this is a Clipper and that Mid to North Kent area will be hardest hit. Hopefully as the band clears off we might get some proper snow showers on a streamer the type of flakes that resemble snow and not icy rain

08z Obs Impressive

Temp - 1c

Dewp - 1.4c

Snizzle and Sleet here now

Wind roaring like a jet engine through the trees and a few hundred feet up

Enjoy

Looking good, that snow isn;t stopping any time soon either!

System still pivoting around but its nearly angled N-S now which probably means the westerly push of the heavy stuff is nearly done. 

Yay

So I DID read the radar correctly

Was booking an Online Open University Course starting Monday for a moment there

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

At least this wind is drying everything out, hopefully be able to cut the grass by Tuesday

@Paul Shermanis it normal that it hasn't settled yet or is it unexpected getting a tad worried although I think it may just have only just turned to snow here. 

About 10 to 15 minutes that heavier stuff is to your North near Canterbury. You look to be in a great spot

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

Just now, SKYMANDAN said:

Hopefully we should see snow storms between 10-13 

Of what Month Please ?

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

My god Canterbury is going to get buried if that Clipper carries on the same path.

I’m wondering if that zone is setting up and the Amber zone will be 30 miles or so east of where it was forecast - or whether it’s still going to edge west and affect where the met office originally stated. Tough to tell

Yes this is sliding NNE to SSW so thats gunna be my jackpot zone, seeing some pics from 600ft near Canterury of stunning snow piling up already.

The Gap of Doom 

Ipswich to Maidstone

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

Spoiler

 

Dewpoint now -0.1c here so people in Kent the cold is rapidly heading towards you so where the Mid Kent Streamer is happening at the moment expect the transition soon too all snow down there, its looking epic for you guys

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

630am Obs

Temp 1.8c

Dewp 0.2c

Nearly there just need the precip

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

Horrible Gap setting up about 20 miles in width from Ipswich down through to South Essex.

Good to see Chelmsford is in the western precip band that should head down into NE and SE London

Actually better to see animation you can see NW movement of band.

 

So to me that looks like a slider down the East Coast staying offshore of Clacton and running through the east side of Sheerness, it looks like its almost reached its North western pivot point. But needless to say the next hour will ultimately define how far into land it gets.

Have I got that right ?

Still looks like a Mid Kent Clipper in my books but I am learning all the time

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

Just now, Daniel* said:

Clear to see Paul. 5am and 6:20am.

So thats strange as my radar has nothing north of Clacton wtf ??

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

Just now, Daniel* said:

You’re not looking at radar well enough. 

Ah ok

Thanks for that, thought I knew what I was doing all these years. Must go back and learn radar thanks

Any ideas of amounts for me then by say noon ? Seeing as I have no clue how to read radar some advice would be nice. 

could you help me with whats going on

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

Radar looking increasingly juicy for mid-eastern Kent.

Its a Kent Clipper plain and simple. Yes you can also call it the Mid Kent Streamer when winds are NE or NNE, no good to anyone unless your are east of Gravesend or west of Dover.

Hoping the guys down there enjoy it and get some cracking pics.

Just Essex and Suffolk now on the no snow list I think

See you at Rayleigh station later for your new hobby, Paul. 
We don’t want to miss the 1044 from Southend Vic

Hahahahaha

The Number 9 will get me there no problems with that

How Many Carraiges has that one got

Not expecting much in Clacton now. Heavier precip just offshore and looks likely to stay there. Wouldn't take much to get it here but experience tells me this is primarily a Kent event now.

Thats exactly what I am seeing as well 

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

Just now, kold weather said:

Gosh your not getting snow till next winter then, best get comfortable with the wait!

Besides, I think the snow is going to have to go through you to get to me anyway! If you can't get some I may as well not even bother trying 

5 Moderate Thunderstorm Busts from Convective weather last year with closest Lightning 50 miles away

So this Amber warning does not fill me with confidence, and any streamer could be wintry on the coast so would not bet against it.

I kind of sadistically would laugh if we got to 48 months without a snowflake at my latitude though

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

Just now, kold weather said:

Yeah Paul the high resolution models all keep the action over Kent for the morning before we move into a more classic convective pattern by which time marginality shouldn't be an issue anymore thankfully.

During that time even I might have a chance at a light sprinkle of snow! Shock horror!

Am almost certain you will get snow before me lol

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

This still looks like a Reverse Kent Clipper to me 

However many times I run the radar it does not get any better unless you are in Kent
