Hi everyone, very long time no post!
Despite the models having had a more Southerly flow for the low on Tuesday night/Wednesday recently, there do seem to be indications (plus uncertainty with the BBC forecasters), this low could (and I mean could) actually have a slightly bigger impact near the coast. I have a feeling that we might not all miss out on something midweek.
I'll no doubt be eating my words on Wednesday, but it's not over yet.-

Hope everyone enjoyed winter 2023/2024
Hahahaha, the third day of 'Winter' and it's all over already!
I have a feeling there will be many a late night lamp-post watching in the months to come.

it's looking a little more flakey now but the ground is soaked
Yeah, it's nice to zone out watching the wet flakes coming down, but it would have been nice to get at least a wee covering.

It's all watery
it blooming well is. Any flakes are plummeting rather than falling. I'm glad to see those outside of the capital getting something.

Rain, rain, rain in Bexhill... Exactly the same thing as December, a complete waste of respectable amounts of precipitation! Perhaps it'll transition to something more wintry before it pulls away, say around 06:00... But I'm not holding out much hope lol!
same... Still sleety here, the odd burst of heavy sleet, then back to rain. Worra waste of a good opportunity!

Snow has arrived here . Not settling but beautiful to see . Heavy stuff to come
Just sleety rain here in central London so far... I think the dewpoint is too high at the moment and can't see it cooling down.
Maybe once the ppn gets heavier it might turn more wintry, but I can't see it settling as things go. I hope I'm wrong.

Omg ,frost has formed on cars etc , please
make it happen, Radar looks angry.
As you say, the radar is looking pretty vibrant right now, the front seems to running a bit ahead of schedule (definitely an hour or two ahead of GFS) and with a fair amount of energy being pulled in behind the front as it edges Eastward.

In all likelihood!

Just checked in to find Met Office has dramatically upgraded snow forecast for St albans area since earlier today. Now expecting snow continuously from 3am Wednesday right through to 1am Thurs, with sleet expected around Wed lunchtime. Dunstable is a few hundred metres higher so could be even more up your way.
I agree, I think the front will move in slightly faster than forecast and a wee bit further north than predicted. I wouldn't be at all surprised if the Met Office don't broaden their weather warnings soon. Time will tell.

The front looks to be further North at this point compared to the GFS chart for this period.
This is the chart for 12-3am, so we are already pretty close to that now.

Hi everyone, long time no post, but things are beginning to look interesting! I'm even hoping for a covering here in the middle of town. Good luck all and take care out there!

It looks like it's beginning to fade and head into the North Sea. I personally have done very well, but I feel for those who missed out.
It does make a nice change for London to get a pasting though.

Watching the road chaos from my window, vehicles giving up and not moving on at all
I certainly wouldn't like to be one of those drivers. Take care all.

Big heavy flakes are falling again as the low begins to topple Southward again. It could be a very long night.
-
The wind has just switched to a NW'ly and, after a brief lull, the ppn is picking up again. It looks like the pivot is over The City/docklands area, so should start heading back for some.
A case of keeping one eye on the radar and one on the lamppost (not easy)

May be the most since Feb 2009.
Edit: actually 18th December 2010.
I can't remember any heavier since.
-
It looks like there's still a lot of energy in this mini-low. There is plenty of ppn in the channel which should get drawn in. Hopefully this will bring more people in our region a covering.

Probably the most snow we’ve had since 10th December 2017…almost 5 years to the day. The BFTE had a lot of daytime thaw so we never sustained the totals. Easily have about 3 inches here:
Same for me. It could end up being some of the highest snowfall for quite a while in Central London.
-
It's really lovely to get such a covering, especiallyin Central London. Got about 5cm of lovely fluffy snow already, with the radar looking good for a while yet.
A rare treat!

It's still in the balance, at least for the S and SE coast, but things can and no doubt will change.
You're in the best position in Rye as far as it looks right now.
