Does anyone know if these images are prone to ignoring Thanet and the North East coast of Kent for snow depths or could there be a legitimate reason for this? 

I know the temps are often a couple of degrees higher than further west and south but surely in this instance with low 850s and DPs this is unlikely to be accurate.

   

 

 

id laugh if that actually came off lmaao

Unfortunately there’s a fair few posters who, multiple times a day , as runs come out, race to see who can post the coldest boom charts, usually 10 days out. No doubt for likes.

Also, as you say, those same people hang on every individual run which causes the rollercoaster emotions so often seen. As John Holmes widely states time and time again just pick one and follow it every 24 hours to look for trends. Less rollercoasters and just a wise thing to do.

Thankfully there’s some great posters in there as well who do that, have huge amounts of knowledge and talk about possibilities of emerging trends, warm and cold and are very balanced. It just gets tiresome trawling through to find those.

What can you do? Strictly they’re talking about models. 

I feel sorry for them. Its some form of OCD i believe...

Rain in Epsom- unexpected. Probably snow up on the downs

Yep it is thouroughly abysmal out there with a misty drizzle and a nagging east wind just wish it would do one into the low countries so we can get a nice frost and clear skies.

Temp 2.4c

Dewp 1.3c

Cannot wait for that first warm spring day and convective skies way off in the distance to my North or South but at least can sit in the garden and not put up with this disgusting weather

Was it forecast to snow for you?

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

More than enough snow at the surrey hills today. Very happy with todays event, could of done with the pivot being alot further south though.

I'd imagine it would be as it would be hitting us when the conditions are good for snowfall?

same, earlier on --> less sunlight ---> temps rise less as warm sector pushes in?? maybe lol

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

I’m cycling to the downs at 5am so around then?

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

i reckon box hill (+200 meters should see something)

Yes, trends have been better this morning. I think we're so programed to only expect downgrades that we forget the opposite can occur.

 

could be downgraded this everning...

I suppose to some it's dreadful if they are having rain, while many other areas a bit further north are having snow.

Well isn't that just normal lol

Spain to get more snow than London...

Same as last night, a lot of the precipitation is not reaching the ground! So it looks heavy, but infact dry

why is that?

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

why is the radar not accurate  Like Jan 2020, the radar said it was snowing, and it wasn't, some dry layer maybe...

Can confirm light steady  snow here in the Surrey Hills.....

weird not even raining in Epsom...

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

More easterly would be better for the Thames to work. Haven't seen the wind forecast.

Not correct at all. Wintry showers could occur in the south east overnight into tomorrow.

Dps fall below zero around 8pm tonight?

[Model Output Discussion - Into the new year]

Sad about Thursdays low. At least it won’t be a repeat of jan 22 2020 snow which was an even greater disappointment!
