Was Sleety when it started at Midnight with -2c Dewpoints and is hammering it down with rain now with positive dewpoints

Bah! Estuary can be a life saver or an enemy it seems

[SE and East Anglia general weather discussion 07/11/2018]

Dew Point back down to -2c - Phew

Okay, now we are talking. The first decent chunk pushing in off the estuary into north (east) London. 4/10. Proper nice fluffy snow coming in off the easterly. 

Lol

How did that get past us down here ? Bed is calling I think

[SE and East Anglia general weather discussion 07/11/2018]

Well If it does not happen tonight in 5 weeks I will be here with the lovely lady for our 20th Wedding Anniversary where we are guaranteed snow, they have 97cm at the moment. And some things to look up in the Sky as well when I will be praying for no snow

Sorry Lauren this has to be said once and for all

The first retort tonight was a dig at Kold Weather from said poster to which to Kolds defence he never bit

The 2nd was at a few of us saying we obviously were failed weather geeks who could not get on the course anyway

Now to me that is Trolling, and somebody who is looking for a fight

Lets draw a line under it now and get back to what is great about the SE Regional and that is friendly banter with some cracking people in here

Southend Peeps

Check out the Dewpoints on XC Weather - Diving down to -3c 

Woohoo

Not in the SE but few of my favourite posters are so been in here a lot today to see what they’ve had to say etc. Anyway a couple times Swindon to Reading has been mentioned as the possible sweet spot. I’m in Swindon.

Snow finally started about 30 minutes ago, paths etc all well covered now. Let’s see if this pans out

Am glad you are getting some snow, good luck and let us know the depth when its finally over

Well the Blob that has been sat in the Estuary for the past 2 hours is definately Anaprop as nothing has fallen at all

[SE and East Anglia general weather discussion 07/11/2018]

Maybe the Stalling Point was 15 miles North of the South Coast

I think you might be confused, meteorology is the study of atmospheric sciences, something you clearly have no experience in, you should join the met office weather warning team

Thanks, they have been having wee digs at me from the point that I had referenced studying Meteorology. I guess they're feeling bitter because they didn't meet the entry requirements? 

Well you are not especially Golden wondering why a Polar North Westerly was delivering Convective Showers to Manchester with the Irish Sea on their doorstep and NOT Norwich  Think you might need another 4 years Pal

Would love to take you to Tornado Alley and see how you fare out there as well, Had 4 PHD Met Students out in 2017 and they said they actually learnt quite a bit from me - Touche

Would be good to see a Skew-t from this Evening, have a feeling the Boundary Layer is still too dry and as the Low moves further NE and the Boundary layer moistens the heavier snow will move in across land. Maybe 11pm onwards ? 

Just a hunch

What you feel Paul reckon we could actually see some flakes tonight?

I wonder though if the modelled winds and dewpoints might be wrong for the morning though, if this LP has not behaved as it should and lands in a different position to where it was modelled then the winds might be ENE and not ESE by dawn which should make the dewpoints better for us

Looking at the radar yes definately, but worried the wintry mix could push the snow levels down by the morning

[SE and East Anglia general weather discussion 07/11/2018]

A couple of things

Whoever gets that heavy precip off the Sussex and Kent Coast is going to hit the Jackpot if it can keep its intensity

The wind is really strong down here in the estuary and it looks more convective than frontal atm

Good Luck

For real? AWESOME

Yep Swindon was the Jackpot zone, but it also has widely 5cm across a lot of Kent, Surrey, Sussex,Hampshire London areas as well

We shall see

Oh, any headline figures Paul, like jackpot amounts, etc?

 

A few 20cm figures South of the M4 around the Swindon area, and also some 20cm obviously in Wales, Cotswolds, Salisbury Plain etc
