Hi All

Just looked at the N-W Extra ppn radar, there is a nice bunch of wintery ppn heading round the top of Holland and hopefully tracking towards the south east, maybe gaining in intesity a bit as it comes?, or am I just being hopeful..

Cheers

FC

I saw that, looks very interesting, its showing up pretty well now on the met office radar.

On my way home from work at 17:45 the light rain suddenly turned to heavy wet snow which in the strong wind looked pretty impressive, shame it only lasted a short while.

BU

just had rain here in Noerth kent.

[Unusual Winter?]

Heavens...A possibility first mooted by Mr Roger Smith (wedding nuptials to one of GF Handel's lesser known orartorios "The Freeze of 1739/40")

How about this January freeze chaps, my dad just called, was going to go see him this weekend after seeing last weeks charts for N Italy, but decided not to go because our charts were looking just as good.

Well FI seemed to work ok for Athens yesterday, have a look at Genoa today, 0 asl on the med. 30cm fell in a few hrs, thats a foot!

He's up at 650m and its still snowing heavily at -6c, the ppn is expected to continue til Sat/Sun when the snow level is expected to rise to apx 1000m. Could end up with a good meter of level snow, currently 40cm, maybe more.

Currently its raining and windy in North Kent.

Well, you southern nambies haven't got a monopoly on snow you know. If you look at Mallerstang, Cross Fell and the hills around Ullswater this morning, you can, if you look very hard (through a polorised filter) make out what looks to be the very merest dusting of snow above 2000ft.

OMG, realy? Did you count the flakes with your binoculars?

Well I saw about 6 flakes on the M25 at 12.30 today at 6c, Sevenoaks way.

Tonight I will be on lampost watch, we are going to get a thames streamer and lots of snow!!! So there!!!
