Has it reached you yet mate? 

As @Snowman. says it’s still light stuff here in Southend. Family member out Wakering way says flakes are increasing in size though. So it’s a frustrating wait I think.  But we will get there eventually...I hope

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

@Paul Sherman it’s coming mate. Big fat flakes to your east

Thats good to know so Norfolk, Suffolk and Kent ticking it off the list.

So is it just the South and Mid Essex areas and North Kent near the Estuary who have not had a covering since March 2018 ?

Anyone else out there in this 35 month barren spell

Do I detect an element of towel throwing here Paul?....let’s see where we are in the next couple of hours. I bet we will have a covering before lunch

08z Obs Impressive

Temp - 1c

Dewp - 1.4c

Yep. We’ve passed the transition point now. Just got to be patient for the heavier Ppn to slowly edge our way.

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

Darcy clearly held up by border control.

Bloody Brexit.

Anyway she’s cleared customs and slowly edging west.

It’s coming....flakes now falling here Paul.

Yes Darcy is nearer Denmark than she is to the Uk, if you look on Sat24 at the Benelux radar and run it you can see a finger of cloud now running in a straight NE To SW line down the coast of the Uk

Right so we are talking a delay rather than cancellation here right?!

How is your DP higher than your air temp?

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

I detect the atmosphere souring a touch in here. Probably a good time to get a few hours kip and come back around 3-4am I think

18Z MO high-res run is rather poor, it has to be said. Heaviest snow is now pushed to Sunday night into Monday!

Hopefully not a trend

Errm

Evening all, temperature has been falling rapidly here in Southend over the last hour or so especially. What time are we expecting the transition from rain to snow to occur? BBC seem to reckon about 3AM- am hoping for earlier but maybe I’m being greedy lol!

I’d say that’s about right give or take.

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

But will it snow in Carlisle?
