Cool - shame I'm in Colchester at the mo, but I can see the activity just to the east! -
Surely it all depends on the wind direction? if it's from the NE then parts of Essex southwards into Kent, The Sussex's will be largely effected but slightly east of North east of this then maybe more inland areas of the above perhaps Suffolk, again a bit of radar watching will be needed.

East Anglia & South East Cold Spell Discussion
Michael Fishermans Friend replied to MAF's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
weather for this weekend looks like it is backtracking into a disappointment from what I have seen, reading posts and seeing TV forecasts - Saturday might see some convective showery stuff from the North sea and Sunday which is still up in the air looks like bringing only light snow inland and maybe sleety/rain nearer the coasts! - but who knows might all change. -

hi thunder123 - not sure if your in the right region? would Basingstoke come more under Central Southern England? but you can stay and watch what showers we do get! -
East Anglia & South East Cold Spell Discussion

patchy fine snow shower passing through here - another one of those damp cold evenings which feels like there is alot of moisture in the air temp: 0.6c dewpoint: -0.2c -
well looking at that nobody is, apart from Northern England and Scotland - all very disappointing no severe easterly there.
-
looks like rain here on the coastal regions over the weekend - like to see where this milder air is coming from, I've heard people say the milder air is embedded - embedded from where? I cannot remember in previous history of easterlies producing rain on the coast (certainly not on the essex/suffolk coast) and snow inland! anybody have any thoughts?
-
Very marginal for us over the weekend though (apparrantly) - could melt all our snow1
-
So we can expect rain rather than snow near the coast then over the weekend? so much for a severe cold spell, surely the continent with its associated snow cover will be cold enough to keep the lower surfaces cold enough for snow, can't remember to many instances over years gone by when we have had rain/sleet on the coast from an easterly and snow further inland - trying to think!

General Model Output Discussion
Michael Fishermans Friend replied to Methuselah's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
you have to the biggest ramper on here still gonna try to get to work on monday (as per your earlier post). Everychart you post is absolute snowaggedon, but no harm in a bit of fun. -
Hope I'm wrong but going by that GFS 12z ppn chart you posted up 2mm is not a holy grail!

GFS ppn chart from the 12z forecast for Sunday only around 2mm on the East Coast with lesser totals inland - hardly anything to be concerned about? -
Still snowing here but somewhat lighter now - about an 1 hours worth so far!
-
is that only 1/2mm for the east coast for Sunday then - doesn't sound much?
-
Been snowing here for 50 minutes now and have about an inch on the ground, temp:0.4C dew point: 0.0C - I reckon we got about 20 minutes left in this one.
-
Snowing heavily at the moment KW, temp 0.5C dew point 0.3C - sorry to hear your misfortune, up to now the same as you - barely a cm.
-
big big flakes the size of somebody with a bad scalp disorder - this is more like it, but wonder how long it will last here on the SE Essex coast, anybody care to enlighten me?
-
TWS whats you view on the weekend for this region - I hear now that there might not be all that much convective stuff now but just light snow not really adding much? - have you any thoughts for the weekend. Cheers
-
Heavy snow here in Burnham - been like this for the last 10 mins adding a cover of almost a cm now!
-
Yeah a constant stream of snow along the coast and staying just off the coast so I can watch and wave at it as it goes by and heads towards Kent (as per usual).
-
holy camoly - it's started to snow, I count 5 or 6 flakes per minute! hmmmmm like little Lindt truffle size.
-
Saw the Look East forecast from that Julie bird and she said about a couple of cms of the ppn moving down from the north in an hour or so whilst tomorrow a little feature will move in from the NE over Norfolk and move southwards and there could be up to 5cms or so over our region (The National forecast at 13.25 said it was a feature they were keeping an 'eye on'). Not much mentioned about the weekend apart from an icy easterly. Might get a cm out of that lot on the Costa Del Burnham then.
-
Nice my favourites! - anything on the radar which shows you might be in for a dumping (probably not as we are both in a snow free zone).
-
Surely before or after that band of ppn gets on the shores of southern England we will see showery activity on the windward coastal regions? - why is nothing becoming straight forward in regards to set-ups, where has this milder embedded air come from? Sorry about the Spanish inquisition but just when you think you might have some synoptics that will suit your location then yet another problem crops up!
-
Our country isn't exactly big yet it is unbelievable what variations we have in snowfall from area to area, and seems strange about the dew points being below zero yet getting a thaw? - I too would swap this troughy nonsense fro some god old power house convectivity off the North Sea but saying that Burnham would still miss out due to the wind not quite being in the right direction or for some reason or another - whinge over!
