Hmmmm, stalling out to the west at +60...
-
Didnt even get 1cm here, it didnt even settle on the ground, just the cars, and was gone pretty quickly by morning
Ditto - none on the pavement; the 1cm was taken from the lid of the recycling bin! Was handsome all the same.
Few flakes outside now - that'll be the first and last of it this evening.
-
Yeah
We've had such poor luck..a slight dusting last night ,if you'd even call it that, and sleet followed by rain todayI don't know; I was rather pleased with the 1cm this moning - certainly more than expected and lasted to around 11am.
The westerly extent of the PPN is pushing inland, which is good news in that in means at least S an SE London will see a few flakes falling. We're certainly going to miss the heavy sstuf fthough which is now tracking due south a few miles east of the M25.
-
Walking a tightrope here in SE15 - transitioning between sleet and snow - latter as the PPN trends towards moderate. As soon as the intensity does down, we're back to sleet. There's literally nothing in it to call one way or t'other.
I like the look of the echoes out West in a northernmost line from Ascot to Wembley, so here's hoping it can continue to pep up over the next hour or so.
-
the leading edge of PPN is really pepping up- some greens on the radar ( echoes not sleet) - in a line from I guess Stratford out to Lee/bromley that sort of way
S
I'm sat right under that, but hasn't been falling as heavily as the radar would've suggested, IMO. Turned sleety a few mins ago, to boot.
-
1146, falling in Peckham.
Radar question - is the time stated for exactly that minute, or the last five mins, next 5 mins ec?
-
Same here. Not big flakes anymore though
This is good news!
-
Scooting around the regions, it would appear that the NW radar is pretty damn accurate with the snow/sleet/rain distinction. With the green and blues encroaching ever further to the South, this is not splendid news for those of us south of the Thames for the next 2 - 3 hours.
Temp perked up markedly here in the last 30 mins - very little of our 1cm overnight left. Boo hiss.
We shall see.
-
I'm debating whether to leave home and head for Quuens - we have centre court tickets today.
Less than 2 hours play and we get a full refund on the face value of tickets.
Dilemma!
-
Can anyone confirm anything falling from the sky or is it just anaprop that is showing up on the radar over NE London? Thanks!
Was wondering the same thing - have been running along the M11 corridor for around 30 mins now.
-
Still nothing here in Canary Wharf!
Go check again...
-
Snow getting heavy over central London now
S
SM; snow ramper.
!!!!!!!!
Been going for around 15 mins here, and weirdly, is settling on the rooves of houses first. Flower pots a close 2nd.
-
NWF, we have snow in Peckham Rye, over.
Managed to see the first few flakes. More like graupel at first; was solid and falling at some velocity. But is now very small, and very poetically falling to earth. It's almost as if gravity has only just won.
-
Think I am meant to make a nasty comment here, but even I wish them luck on there journey home.
Spirit of the blitz, eh?
Looks like Powelly has managed to sort things out at The Valley - good job you've got so many points on the board because the customary Charlton 'can't win a game in the last 15 matches of the season syndrome' will kick in soon. And we need a tasty local derby seeing as Millwall are going down.
Deeper snow at The Valley or Selhurst tonight? I reckon you might win that one.
-
You can track the snow's coming on the M25 webcams; http://www.bbc.co.uk/travelnews/london/trafficcameras/
-
Southend players are gonna have fun getting home tonight...what a carp result!!
I got -1c
You think that's bad - there are 400 odd hardy Palace souls heading back to South London from M'boro, right through the middle of it all. They'll be having a hell of a journey.
-
Why does it seem to warm up a bit just before it snows? And why does it feel warmer when snow is falling?
Because you're excited and running about like a loon?
-
You could the princely sum of £3.49 and have the NW radar which is better anyway for a month.
Is the correct answer. Love the mapping and overlays...
-
Hello from the west bit of our region. Can confirm its very cloudy here in brentford. We lost the sun a short while ago. Barely above freezing here. Off to the shops to get some wine as think tonight gonna be a long one...
Likewise here; except I'm already on the wine.
Cloud is getting thicker in SE London, and has a wonderful communist era cold grey colour to it. Lovely stuff.
Wouldn't be surprised to see a few patchy flakes popping up in South London over the next 30 - 60 mins.
-
well, the snizzle began here about 20 mins ago. instantly dragged temp down to 1.0 from 1.3....now 0.9...
should garner a cm or 2 by dawn for london, provided the temps don't rise anf ppn stays heavy enough.
-
There seems to be a developing streamer in the channel. Something of interest for southern areas tonight?
not sure if you can benefit from any significant 'streamer' on the south coast. geography simply doesn't allow for it?
-
It's that Croydon micro-climate again...
i always found croydon quite barren snow-wise; really does warm up towards the centre. they do have a fantastic wind tunnel caused by the 'scapers though, so excellent for large drifts in blizzard conditions...
-
Those shower trains look fantastic on radar...Hope they do not decay as everyone would benefit
in SE I suspect..........Looking good for radar and lampost watching after dark tonight!
given the wind directions as per the GFS, looks like those benefitting most would be norfolk, east suffolk, essex and kent. would have to really push inland for notable quantities to reach london and home counties.
-
radar is showing the humber estuary taking an absolute beating at the minute. anyone confirm?
We've had such poor luck..a slight dusting last night ,if you'd even call it that, and sleet followed by rain today

Indeed, all eyes on the next run. You can GFS bash all you want, but it's part of a westerly trend that starts to kick in only 36 hours out. A continuation of that next up and it could be curtains for many of us.
I don't mind waiting for next week's snow - I'll be in Biarritz this weekend where it's looking like rain, rain, rain and +12c.... That said I could use the match at Selhurst being called off so I that I don't miss it!
