What do we think are the chances of a warning for E/A for tomorrow - for the potential for snow as the cold undercuts the low whilst it pivots and exits?

That’s what i’m hoping for in Norwich.!!

How do you get rid of the glare and get such a sharp image.

Like this.. Canon 5d mk III, 70-300mm lens. 1/60s, f11, manual focus, iso 100, self timer using mirror lock up and on a tripod.

Another shocker of a run!

I’d be worried if that was for this Wednesday, no wait, it’s 10 days away.!! If that was showing BFTE 3 (at the same time span) we’d be dismissing it as FI...

Unless of course you look at the 06Z CFS run which, after a mild interlude of less than a week, puts us back in the freezer for three weeks with two spells of retrogression.

Bring it on

I don’t get it, people asking for sun and warmth..it’s still the middle of February, maybe start complaining when it’s early April and it’s still cold..!!

Interesting, the depth of cold in the North Sea and lapping onto the coasts is by far the coldest of this spell (The -14c isotherm getting into East Norfolk and Suffolk). So not surprised that some coastal counties are seeing some snow. 

However there do appear to be some showers actually developing inland with one moving westwards north of Peterborough. Here in Huntingdon quite a bit of cloud has bubbled up, which was not forecast.

looks like N London may get a few flakes too..?

Just looked a thee metoffice video forecast for tonight. Showed a curved  streamer setting up right up the Thames affecting most of London Essex and Kent. 

Would be nice to get one more covering here.!

Heavy snow shower, starting to settle on the clear bits of road and pavement.

that’s heading straight to my area in N London, save us some.!!

[South East, London and East Anglia regional discussion - 8th February onwards]

Quick walk out along the Lee Navigation to get a few pics before the snow disappears and didn’t expect this.!!..lol. Navigation Café was open, so a bacon sarnie and a hot chocolate was much needed.!!

Really hope so. Going to be glued to the radar next 3 hours I think.

The front has pretty much decayed now and the North Kent energy is shrinking away south now.

Hoping we can get some proper showers going now between here and tomorrow morning. 

Kettle is going to busy here too..lol

That's the 3rd band that has stalled at around the same location in London since Sunday. 

Yep....annoying.!!

This is actually accumulating pretty fast now

I was hoping for some of that, but just not going to make it here now.!!

[South East, London and East Anglia regional discussion - 8th February onwards]

Snowing better now, but just going to miss out on the heavier stuff in Chelmsford currently as it’s fading away on the N edge.

[South East, London and East Anglia regional discussion - 8th February onwards]

Hasn’t stopped snowing since yesterday morning, a covering from over night and a dusting on top today. Just waiting to see if that heavier area reaches me in N London, touch and go I think.!!

Dam that blob is slow. 

I have a feeling it’s losing its intensity and may not make it to me here in N London sadly.?

It is heading for East Hertfordshire/West Essex first so locations SW of me thereafter.

Hopefully N London too.!!..lol

Is the radar busted? I've been under good intensity snow for over an hour and the radar has me under nothing.

Omg this is a thick band isn’t it? Looking fairly chunky on the radar and growing...

Think we can do better than that.

Yep! Anxiously waiting for it. Wasn’t expecting this much to spark up.

Light snow blowing in the wind, the edge of the band is literally only a couple of miles away.!!!

Very light snow showing up in the street lights here in South London.

Same here in North London, falling on dry surface this time too. Hoping this band gives a nice covering (1-3cm would do)..lol

Yep radar looking excellent now. Building nicely and moving WSW. Hoping to see it hit the eastern side of London soon.

Watching and waiting....hopefully in 30/60 mins time

Heard a lot of people have had reactions to the jab , rather have a few days of feeling crap then get covid though . I hope to stay up lol but if I can’t make it I wish you get the snow we deserve good luck x

I had a sore arm and a bit of swelling around the injection point , also was itchy too.!! I’m watching the band moving slowly towards N London, fingers crossed for a little more than today.!!
