Moderate snow from Steves neck of the woods has made it here.
-
Naff all here in sw london and nothing to come by the looks of it. Roll on spring sunshine.
Not yet. The whole of March and April to go yet. Lots more opportunities post "The even larger teapot". aka The m0dern w1inter.

Snowing nicely here in South Bexleyheath DA6
-
I'm not sure what it is about Lordswood, it always seems to snow better there than surrounding areas and it seems to last longer too... It's a mystery!!
Lordswood and Walderslade are some of the highest points in Kent.
-
Light snow in Bexleyheath.
-
Meeeeow!
Maybe. bjaykent put it more eloquently than me. I would say Kent is one of the best places to live in the UK for "extremes" of weather. I've had thunderstorms and snow in the last 12 months.

The easterly doesn't look set to bring much in the way of convection. The skew-t forecast for London for T+84 highlights the main issue:
http://cdn.nwstatic....d-London-84.png
There is a layer of dry, stable air starting at around the 850hPa level- convective clouds over the North Sea are likely to keep hitting that capping layer and spread into stratocumulus, resulting in grey skies and just occasional sleet or snow flurries near the east coast.
Thanks for that link. It would seem the logical reason as to why the forecast for convection is inhibited. A shame that with cold 850's and a favourable wind direction the convection is going to be killed. Still some falling snow seems likely for the South East.

ECM keeps the theme going. Increasingly colder for all throughout the week with increasing risk of snow for England towards next weekend. Also signs that the High Pressure want to migrate North. Interesting week ahead.
-
Good at 192hrs Atlantic trying to come in, however failing as it does so therefore possible fronts coming in from the west then stalling, which will likely to be snow. One thing that does worry me is the shortwave to the SE of Greenland, this may stop the high from retrogressing but thats 8 days away and small features like that will appear and disappear, great run however!
Nice East South Easterly there. That will feel very raw!
-
Very localised distribution of snowfall! Bexleyheath has a slushy covering side roads a bit dicey but main roads OK. The A2 at Dartford Heath was quite snowy with the hard shoulder covered. Snowing all the way to the M25. Down at Crossways nothing! Literally nothing, no lying or falling snow. Colleague living in South Woodford reports lots of snow and can't get into work! All very bizzare.

The official stats show that the GFS is the no1 performing model in the northern hemisphere. It has an easterly bias for our neck of the woods but is still a good model and respected worldwide. Until the GFS buys it, I don't Im Afraid
What does "buy it" mean?
-
I suspect the ecm ops are leading us up the garden path here guys.
Its a critical juncture now for the winter,last chance saloon as a matter of fact.
Last chance saloon? On the 2nd February? Give me strength.

Just to echo what's been said this morning. Steve M summed it up nicely with a measured post.
Still chasing shadows 10 days away as we have been for the last few days.
A few more uk high sinkers in the ensembles this morning. That is usually the end game with this pattern as the northern arm eventually flattens the AZH.
Still some decent ensembles but nothing convincing.
Will be a wild few days in the near term and somewhere in England with a little elevation might get lucky to the NW of London.

Who's chasing shadows? You seem to be. I can see snow three days away and the pattern for next week is far from set. All to play for as far as I can see. It's my observations that the early morning posters seem to look for a 63/47 whereas the later posters seem to give a more measured outlook.
-
If you think gfs fi is good, look at what the CMA has done by the 6th, anyone for a 1060 Greenland high and raging northerly?
Any chance of a quick link/chart. Many thanks. The FI parts of GFS looks like December 2010.
-
. Would like to see the pattern a bit further west so the shortwaves diving se could avoid bringing their pm warm sectors across the entire uk
I agree with your sentiment. I am sure that in time we'll see corrections Westwards. Still early days with regards the exact patterns, although it does seem to be heading down a colder route.
-
Been snowing heavy for an hour or so. Shame it's going to thaw pretty quickly.
Due up in your part of the world tomorrow for footie. Any chance of the game going ahead at the Shay?

Building heights over Scandinavia? http://images.meteoc...-0-138_ete4.png
The low is heading back West

No sooner do I post it's tapering off and it perks up. I do feel the bell for last orders has been rung for this part of the world.
-
Snow beginning to taper off here now. Still going though some 10 hours after it started. Impressive.
-
Tottenham goal has just ruined my day.
Who cares?
-
Moderate snow still in DA6. Much larger flakes as well. My road is dodgy, but I'm sure the main roads will be OK.
-
Snowing moderately still here in DA6. Would all Man Utd fans please goto to the NW thread.
-
Depends where you are I suppose. I got 2 inches in Feb 09, I've beaten that today
He said South East London though. Rochester missed out in 2009 because the streamer was effecting SE London, NW Kent.

Negative. Parents live in Hythe. Just spoken with them. Whilst it's snowing heavily and settling, they are not cut off.
