Stopped here at the moment.... Maybe a couple of cm max in Holmbury 

Hoping... Hoping for something more.... The football was dismal let the snow make the evening complete....

I’m literally on the southern boundary of the snow band. Would be lovely to see a good cover tomorrow

Going to be honest here. I joined this forum after a long time lurking.   

There is great resource on here, and you included.  But this is about weather, and right now, it’s snowing, mid March!! And we are having to wade through some petty tit for tat,  odd.

So back to the weather? I think more is too come overnight.

Really appreciate @TheSnowDreamer and the constant accurate forcasts for my part of the world.

Well that’s why I’m here. Things got out of hand and I want to forget that. I want to provide some useful insight here. Welcome!

Light snow here at the moment. Will the blob to the northeast move southwest??

@Daniel* @CK1981 there’s a lot of people here to have a good laugh and talk about the weather and other random stuff. Please can you both be respectful of this and realise your bickering is ruining it for the majority. The need to get the last word or one up is ruining my night and others. Please can you take it to pm so we can enjoy the bants on here without the atmosphere. I’d really appreciate it. If not I still have magic powers from when I was a mod and I’ll remove your posting powers for 24 hours. Many thanks ?

I don’t need the stupid bickering either mate, yet I’m now getting others having a go at me. I’m not here for that. I like to think I have something positive to add

You seem like an aggressive character not only by your comments but by your profile picture aswell, you look like your going to murder someone.Tone it down.

Thanks for that. What have you added?

[SE and East Anglia general weather discussion 03/03/2018 onwards]

Back to the sensible posters. How’s it looking across the region at the moment? We have light to moderate snow here

Snow growing in intensity due south of you in north Hampshire. Don't think it's all north. You were never in the amber area whereas further south all seems to be going to plan. 

Wow, what would I do without you ?

I’ve checked my posts in the last 12 hours and I’ve said nothing of sort think the snow or the lack of it is getting to your head. 

My bad then. To be honest, I’m here for the chat and informing people. I’ve had grief from another member and don’t need any more. I have good insight to give and thats why I’m here. I know you get a bit Shirley Bassey at times, but let’s keep it cool

Well I don’t think anyone earlier thought the main event would be cantered over northern Home Counties and East Anglia the emphasis was modelled considerable south.

 HIRLAM has done poor but all models have been poor if worse.

Let’s leave it there. I made a comment suggesting the northern shift and you shut it down in your usual style ?

Better get some more beers to celebrate the last snowfalls! Or supposedly the last snowfalls of the extended winter ??????

For us, look NE. We could hit the jackpot

I didn’t say a thing? I agreed it was pushing WNW certainly seems this has stopped. I have no idea what you’re talking about.

I’m seeing quite decent snowfall here for a number of hours now in SE16 I’ve been lucky again. 

Just a comment you made earlier. Anyway, let’s see how it pans out mate

[SE and East Anglia general weather discussion 03/03/2018 onwards]

Just now, Daniel* said:

Agreed it isn’t going to plan so who knows it should be dragged more south so areas outside firing area in should theory come back into it.

As I said a while back, it’s all north. You disagreed though 

[SE and East Anglia general weather discussion 03/03/2018 onwards]

To be fair, if Kent doesn’t fair well, would it be a disaster? Many in Kent were snowed in last time, but my friends just down the road from here only had a dusting. I guess it’s their turn for something!

I imagine the warmth in the ground is continually draining upwards until it’s all lost, so until all the warmth is out the ground, the pavements in direct contact with ground will still have enough warmth to melt snowflakes unless the snow gets so heavy as to form a layer of slush in direct contact with ground then layer of insulating snow on top.

I guess that could explain it. However, all surfaces always out of the sun are still wet even with snow falling 

[SE and East Anglia general weather discussion 03/03/2018 onwards]

The way this is going, the Amber warning will be a joke. Oh dear

Saw someone on another forum mention that the ground temperature in Reading was 7C earlier this afternoon, recent mild weather has warmed the ground up and it hasn’t had chance to cool down to 0C yet, given the sudden drop in temp.

I was thinking that would have an impact, Nick. However, it’s been around zero for 12 hours, so with the low DPs, thought it would settle 

[SE and East Anglia general weather discussion 03/03/2018 onwards]

It’s very weird here. Air temperature is -1, dew point is -4, yet the pavements are wet.

Sadly I can't see any southward movement of the precipitation.  It's going pretty much east to west to me.  Someone with better eyesight, please confirm.

You’re right, but the system is moving south, so the direction of travel will take a more southwesterly track soon

And also west.

Yes, sorry, I should have said south west

Yes agree sj, looks to be lifting north of us now. Sweet spot north of London, now.

Regards,

Tom.

Don’t forget, the system will move south, so everything will move with it 

[SE and East Anglia general weather discussion 03/03/2018 onwards]

I’ve been watching this band for a while. I think it’ll move WSW, so anywhere north of London then down to the south west should be lucky. It could expand and change though.

[SE and East Anglia general weather discussion 03/03/2018 onwards]

It’s definitely not moving southwest anything moving west and a touch north.

Yep! Way north of the Amber zone

Can anyone tell me if it’s worth me staying up here in Brighton ? It’s not doing anything as of yet , will it ? Or is it all north ? Thanks 

Brighton isn’t looking great at the moment. Even where I am it’s looking north, and I’m in Berkshire 

[SE and East Anglia general weather discussion 03/03/2018 onwards]

I’m just thinking, look at the current Amber area, then look at the radar returns. Everything is further north.
