Its amazing, I was right on the very south eastern edge of that building, if the skies were clear I would have seen the huge towering Cb shooting up. Only other time I have had that much zero visibility was in 2012 in Oklahoma when we had a Temp/Dp spread of 94/80 and the sky was so milky and devoid of anything we could see was when a huge crack of thunder scared us into the car, could not see the clouds and did not even see the Cg Land Madness -
Really strange weather here this morning Thick Fog rolling up the Estuary interspersed with heavy convective rain
-
Probably between midnight and 3am If you were on XC Weather the temp and Dp would pretty much fall in line with each other so like 6c/5c 5c/4c 4c/3c And so on looks like 1c per hour
-
Well within the 6-8 Inch Zone in your location
-
Certainly looking like it could be
-
But on a serious note the GFS is pretty good in the 7-10 day range at picking up signals and this is the only thing I rate about it. The Pub Run is showing a full on Scandi High with a 1055 High and a 2nd shot at an even colder easterly I know we should not even go there with this spell not even starting but if that was to set up the 2nd Easterly in the week of the 15-22nd then it would surely be up there with the coldest of Februaries, what a year after Jan being 3.4c below the Jan CET

I can get to Levi and Finland easy when I base out of Norway so any 1 of the 3 can be done - Love it up there, the people are amazing and its an incredible country - The wifes Eyelashes froze in March 2019 when it was -22c in Abisko lol
-
Lol the Irony of all this I had a flight booked for 1325 out of Gatwick to Tromso to see the Northern Lights departing Mon 8th Feb Obviously that has been cancelled now due to Covid but the Uk might see more snow than Norway and the flight might have been cancelled anyway, funny how things work out
-
Solid 20cm by the end of Sunday Monday to Wednesday god only knows all down to luck of the streamers after that And then the breakdown whenever that might be Exciting times
-
Yes some in here will be seeing Red come Sunday But the Majority will be happy Steve
-
Meopham for me around 32cm by Midday Monday then topping out at 45cm by Midday Wednesday. I really think this will be hit by the triple whammy of snow band, Mid Kent Streamer and the bottom of the Thames Streamer.
-
Yh i was being a bit more regional wide but sure yes the North Downs at the Intersection of the heavy prolonged sunday snow, the NE mid kent streamer and ENE Thames Streamer could easily do that somewhere like Detling or Meopham
-
Lol what hype ? Nobody has even suggested anything over 15-20cm which is what the warnings are for. Only that Kaswam dude said 40cm which is ridiculous Like I said I would take a dusting at this stage and break the 35 month wait
-
Will defo try and get up to my old weather books for you
-
There were definately 30 foot drifts in 1987 in parts of Essex and Kent, I have numerous weather journals with these amounts with pictures, the books are in the loft but will get up there one day and take some pictures of the pages on my phone and upload them
-
And if you want to see what 50cm looks like this is Braemar today and they are expecting loads more Amazing Snowfall in Scotland this winter
-
Well you learn something new every day thanks for that. Dont even think its on any ordanance survey map as that is it ?
-
2010 just better than 1991 for depth of snow with 34cm to 28cm of level snow and depth of cold with -18c achieved in 2010 and -13c in 1991. Also 1991 was a 4 day affair whereas 2010 was nearly 20 days
-
There is a little connurbation of houses that the MOD Use with a Pub and Post Office as well, so small it hasnt even got a name but is just east of Great Wakering, snow was drifted up to the 2nd floor of a house which was east facing I believe - But pretty sure parts of the North Downs were at 25-30ft as well in that spell
-
Not on my watch buddy
-
This should cheer most up anyway UKMO Snow depths to 6am Monday Morning shows a good few inches even way far to the West and South West of London - Jackpot zone looks to be around 10 Inches on the North Downs and parts of Suffolk and Norfolk
-
SE Essex out near Foulness - The East wind was so strong they had to plough through to villages cut off for 5 days and made a dome over the roads - Have some pictures somewhere 48cm of level snow in some spots
-
Yh its not looking good really and down to how travel corridoors open up around the world but that is very low on most governments hit list at the moment and rightly so. If its safe to do so I would be there in a heartbeat though as it really is my 2nd home from home out there
-
Yh 1987 had 30 foot drifts due to the wind and its why it beats Dec 2010 but yes all these are all regional as 2009 comes in 7th in my list whereas it would probably come into the Top 3 for most others
-
Its going to be Interesting to see where this spell sits in my top Easterly Periods and see if it can get into the top 5 1. 1987 2. 2010 3. 1991 4. 1979 5. 2018
