    Snowfields of Leytonstone e11: 14-15cm of fresh snow fell here yesterday Speaking with a friend in Edinburgh they have sleet at the moment! looks like it's got a little marginal in places as the system travelled North - we did bloody well all things considered, certainly no marginality anyway in this region - even Central London in the daytime managed to clock around 10cm of snow! fantastic!
  2. Discombobulation Man
    Just when you think it's all over we get some murr 6 finger action again in E11. What a corker it's been!
  3. Discombobulation Man
    Fanf'ingtastic, sniffing 5 inches here now, snowmen built earlier have been plastered and look like snowmummies. Oh and LOL @ nae 12z offering 2-5mm here.
  4. Discombobulation Man
    Houston we're back below zero Scientific supporting data: Icicles on metal railings (small thaw on metal earlier) and snow has filled in old car parking spaces. Still the snow comes from this loving channel finger - just seems to keep on probing
  5. Discombobulation Man
    Yup, nice, 4 inchs here now, C/E/NE/SE London has really lucked out getting a good finger from the channel today Must be 4-5 hours of 6/7 Murr snow here (prolly a 5 now mind). Gotta watch the temps for a wee bit longer but looking good for another couple of hours at least I would think.
  6. Discombobulation Man
    Still lots of epicness here in Leytonstone, moderate snow, certainly no signs of grass and roads plastered. . . though temps are around 0.5c here (have an old crappy non-digital thermometer which has crept above zero). Interested to know other temp readings from C/E/NE london?
  7. Discombobulation Man
    Heavy snow bank swelled over East London now, spreading out to engulf central Lonodn too. Turned a bit epic here in Leytonstone!
  8. Discombobulation Man
    Anyone else amazed at how fast the precipitation is moving? it's already reached the NW coast/Liverpool!
  9. Discombobulation Man
    Yeah looks like it, some bigger totals from that system further north up into NE England/Scotland but still giving 7/8mm over London which is the same as the earlier run (however that may now include totals from Mondays snow finger?)
  10. Discombobulation Man
    The only remotely fathomable reason I can think of as to why Peter Cocksoft is calling for rain/sleet on sat is that he simply only glances at the 850 temperature charts for his forecasts and hasn't yet grasped the fact that pulling in low dew points off the continent means you don't need -10c at 850 to get snow.
  11. Discombobulation Man
    Lol, yeah I prefer your forecast to Darren 'no storm' Bett ( aka Darren 'Mild' Bett)
  12. Discombobulation Man
    To be honest I'm not sure at all now that i've just seen Darren Bett and his miserable forecast, looks like a bust now with even tomorrow not showing nearly as much activity as was forecasted previously.
  13. Discombobulation Man
    Yeah, looks that way, to be honest I thought I was unlucky but in Romford you just missed the line by a pip squeak!
  14. Discombobulation Man
    It's all started off a bit too far East for my liking, is it possible that anything can develop behind this line now or do you just have to 'lump it' if you're sitting a few miles to the West of it?
  15. Discombobulation Man
    I'd love you to be right mate as i'm away in Loughborough at the mo and feeling a bit sorry for myself that i'm not back home in East London for the potential action. As you say though there's no forecast or model favouring those areas for the best storms, so what pointers are you using to arrive at your prediction?
  16. Discombobulation Man
    Cockroft has long since gone to bed thinking only a couple of flakes would be blowing around in the breeze, what we just saw was a pre-record with out-of-date crap fed by the Meto.
  17. Discombobulation Man
    There's a small 60mm/hr precipitation rate blob just SW of Birmingham, is that snow there or rain anyone able to confirm ?
  18. Discombobulation Man
    Not bad here in Leytonstone, light to moderate fluff still going and recovering cars, grass and rooftops, patches of concrete starting to succumb too.
  19. Discombobulation Man
    Does anyone 'in the know' have any idea if the stuff over Norfolk and Suffolk on the NetW Radar is real and if it is real, is it Snow ? Reports in EA thread talk of a few flakes East of Peterborough with a bit of sleet,
  20. Discombobulation Man
    Nothing we didn't already know really from Peter on London Weather, dusting for East London, nothing for Essex + Kent, with best chance of a few CM's to West of London. Hope for upgrades near the time and that the blob coming in from the North Sea comes in a bit further South.
  21. Discombobulation Man
    Cocky is imminent, interesting thoughts from the 'Snow Risk thread' in that the current precipitation radar plots dont really tally with the forecasts, very exciting, hope for a twist or two.
  22. Discombobulation Man
    Here's a turn up for the books, Peter Gibbs on News24 said a few cms possible from Lincolnshire down into the London area, a billion miles better than I would have expected and more than enough for a Snowman transplant.
  23. Discombobulation Man
    If you took the NAE as gospel then it's pretty much a Wales only event, as SM says we'll need to luck out big time and hope the near dead Eastern flank of the front can still provide a few showers. If I can get 2 cms that will be enough for a new Snowman head - I reckon 2cm is the best anyone can hope for in the SE
  24. Discombobulation Man
    South East Midands, now get out Only joking
  25. Discombobulation Man
