    Snow Watch Thread For London, Ea & Se England

    in Spring Weather Discussion

    Posted

    I'm so confused (doesn't take much)....at the moment we still have lying snow, fairly dence fog and dropping temps - some say snow for Biggin Hill and others say rain. Experts, what are the chances? :D

    Id say your chances are higher than most simply due to your high ASL. But whether the precipation actually reaches that far south of central london still remains a mystery. If it does, then you should be quids in.

    Heavy Snow & Drifting Snow Fri 6 Feb

    There is a moderate risk of a severe event continuing to affect parts of southern and eastern England. Further falls of snow are likely that may give additional accumulations of 2 to 5cm, perhaps 5-10cm locally. Drifting could occur in fresh or strong north or northeast winds.

    Drifting Snow & Heavy Snow Fri 6 Feb

    There is a low risk of exceptionally heavy snow across parts of central and southeastern England continuing from Thursday giving further accumulations, with perhaps more than 25cm locally for the whole event. Drifting may occur in fresh or strong north or northeast winds. As yet there remains considerable uncertainty in the areas more likely to be affected but further updates will be issued on the web as the situation becomes clearer.

    Hmmm

    Interesting new Update from the Meto for Thursday into Friday, Again this is a Synoptic Evolution we simply have not seen in a Long time in the British Isles which back up me saying yesterday this winter is the REAL Deal.

    How many times have we have transitionary Snow for a few hours before the Mild wipes everything out in a few hours, what we now have is the good old days (The Ones you only read about in Weather Books) weather scenarios playing out.

    Frontal Rain already across the Uk from a System to our South being Undercut by Biting Cold from the North and North East Turning the Rain pretty readily to Snow, If the Radar Returns are Strong this could be every bit as good as Sunday Into Monday. UKMO Now on Board with ECMWF & GFS, This will be nailed if it stays the same by Late Wednesday.

    HOWS THAT FOR A RAMPEDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :(:(

    Incredible stuff. Looks like Norfolk and Suffolk (who felt hard done by over the last 48hours) could get what they're looking for after all....

    Could anyone please respond (sixth time i have asked) will we be getting more of this type of thing on Friday and over the weekend?

    Gareth, thats all very much up in the air at the moment. Chances of anything developing is probably 50:50. For one, the direction will be different, if we get anything snowy it will be delivered by an Arctic wind, not Easterly. Will definitely be staying cold for the foreseeable week, but I would advise to check the models and model discussion thread for further updates nearer the time. At the moment, that thread is somewhat neglected due to all the current excitement! Once the snow stops though, trust me that thread will get busy again!
