  1. You may be affected by London's heat island effect...... I actually consider Ware/Hertford/Hoddesdon as the outer Northern limits of London nowadays, as it is so built up along the A10/Hertford Road corridor. As modern buildings become more and more well insulated in the future, London should begin to cool down again!
  2. Its also very rural here so no town/city heat effect. The soil type around here also has more chalk in it which I recall reading somewhere has a lower dew point as it loses heat much quicker. All I know is since moving from North London to Buntingford a few years ago, the winters are much colder here, even though its only 20 miles North of London!
  3. I know its been snowing in Buntingford almost non-stop now for 24 hours. I actually just want it to warm up now.
  4. Getting close to a couple of inches of snowfall now in East Hertfordshire. However I just want it to warm up now, never been a fan of snow in late March as not good if you are a gardener :-(
  5. Just did a quick measurement and about 10cm of snow here in Buntingford, East Hertfordshire.
  6. About 4 inches in Buntingford, North East Hertfordshire. I think the main helping factor was altitude. Using West Essex as an example, Waltham Abbey (40m asl) had a couple of inches and Epping (100m asl and only a few miles away) has had nearer to 4 inches.
  7. Yep so far the sweet spot for falling and laying snow has been West Essex with higher altitude - 100M ASL (Stansted/Epping) across to the East Chilterns and East Anglia Heights (Luton/Stevenage areas).
  8. You beat me to it, I was just about to say we have around 5cm of snowfall now.
  9. Those fields are at the back of my house! You would have loved the February 1991 snow storm, now that was blizzard like snowfall, with very heavy dry snow for 24 hours for many areas.
  10. I still remember the 1980's so well, Kent experienced some amazing snowfalls and was always the sweet spot for heavy snowfall!
  11. We starting to get a slight covering on the ground now (cars are already completely covered). We just need the precipitation to pep up now and we would get a decent covering.
  12. Does it ever rain or snow in Suffolk.... ;-) Is Suffolk considered the driest county in the UK? We visit Orford a lot and the soil is really sandy around there.
  13. All snow now in Buntingford, East Hertfordshire. Starting to get heavier and beginning to settle on cars :-)
  14. First snowflakes falling here now, amazing how quickly it can change from rain to sleet and then snow.
  15. You must have heard the thunder, unless you got really good double glazing I think we do get some isolated thunderstorms caused by uplifting due to our elevated area (just 10 miles North of here past Royston and into South Cambridgeshire it's low lying very flat land).
  16. Unbelievable we start having lightening here and my wife shuts the blooming curtains "Oh, I can't see the telly because the sky keeps flashing...."
  17. Well we currently have a thunderstorm here in Buntingford, East Herts. A massive lightening bolt out of the blue just lit up the sky, scared the life out of me as wasn't expecting it at all, lol!
  18. Basically everything gets shunted slightly further North in the short term and even more further North in the mid term (folks in the North East will love the charts from +102 hours onwards with copious amounts of snowfall). Anyway I wouldn't be surprised tomorrow if it shunts it back South into France missing the UK entirely! The GFS is always so predictably unpredictable! ;-)
  19. You would have loved the February 1991 snowfall event (at least a foot of level snow across many areas). Continuous heavy snow for nearly 24 hours! Also the winters during the 1980's where it was freezing for weeks with places like East Kent being cut off for days by snow.......
  20. A heavier band of snow has developed over London and up into North Hertfordshire/South Cambridgeshire in the last 15 minutes. Has intensified the snow across these areas. Almost looks like a squall line you sometimes get in Spring/Summer.
  21. Started snowing here in Buntingford, North East Hertfordshire about 10 minutes ago, already a light dusting.
