    East Anglia & South East Cold Spell Discussion

    Cant find any straws to clutch for London zones 1-3 at all, we have to wait until tuesday to get a direct easterly feed and get the convection piling in up the estuary - but by that time the marginal air will be just creeping over us and with the urban afterburners fired up we'll probably get sleet/rain.

    Pretty much a disaster for here, given that we'll probably have to wait another 50 years for these synoptics, 5cms is very forgetable in what should be memorable synoptics :cray:

    Do you have any lying snow? Im in zone 4 and have about 2 inches of the stuff.

    I always thought in a Thames streamer set up, the showers never tend to migrate further north than the M25 and effect mainly South London, North Surrey, sussex and north Kent.

    Is this correct?

    It depends on the wind direction. A straight NE'erly will give showers to south London, NW KentSussex and Surrey.

    A straight Easterly, ENE'erly or ESE'erly will affect the whole of London, south Essex, and the north coast of Kent (except in an ESE'erly)

    Well after waking up to a couple of inches of snow this morning, then maybe a couple of showers, the weather has been mainly sunny with temps not far off 3c! Snow melting, no more falling.

    Is that it for Norfolk then?

    Well at least we had some I suppose, but what are the indicators for more tonight/tomorrow and into the weekend?

    Here in suburban NE London we have had virtually no thaw today. The temperature so far has held at about 0c. It was stilll about -1c at midday. I dont see it thawing for the rest of the day. Only a couple of hours till the sun goes down.

    Thanks to all the forecasters with their excellent posts. We saw just over 24 hours of snowfall and have seen near on a foot.

    Just back from the darts at Lakeside and after a few drinks feel like joining in the rant!

    Glad to see people on here aren't buying into the Global Warming propaganda. Co2 is breathed out buy us every other second and it is a food for plants. My grandfather used to buy it to feed to his plants and get bumper crops. It occurs in such minor levels in our atmosphere a large volcano can increase it noticeably.

    Don't get me wrong, we have a massive consumption problem to deal with as well as polluting our air and water. But co2 is a means to drain money from the masses

    Want to cut the levels, encourage more allotments and educate people to grow their own food, balancing the equation which is natures way, cutting down on transportation, exploitation of workers in foreign lands, packaging not to mention the good health benefits of the exercise and the connection we feel when working in harmony with the planet.

    We get charged for over filling our bins with the crap corporations package there stuff in, erm, maybe make laws to stop the problem at source making it illegal to package anything in something other than recyclable material. And not 2 or 3 layers of it!

    I have a strong knowing that there is massively corrupted forces in our system working against the people.

    The beauty of this weather is it makes people step back form the rat race and rather than ignoring everyone and avoiding eye contact we start to help each other and step back from the rat race. Long may it continue, bring back community living!

    Sorry. Rant over..

    The climate has always changed and always will. We may have been in a gentle warming trend, but it is part of a natural cycle.

    thats incredible.

    confirmed via xcweather : http://www.xcweather.co.uk/

    - but might that be a glitch in the weather station reporting that , as the surrounding stations are reporting more in the -5 to -7 kind of range?

    Nope on the latest BBC forecast they mentioned Benson, Oxfordshire is -13c and Wilmslow in Cheshire is currently -15c! And its only 11pm! There is a potential for some serious records to be broken tonight. Those temps could easily fall by another 4 or 5 degrees.

    Peter Cockroft on BBC London even mentioned the London suburbs getting down to -7c. Central London -3c.

    Yep it is a concern, it really depends on the lapse rates within the PPN band & how saturated the air is-

    One thing to remember about today was the flow was from the south & SW until the system moved through......

    thats what raised the dewpoints-

    ( favoured spots are suffolk, North & central Kent )-

    S

    In a straight north-easterly Kent and Norfolk, and coastal Suffolk are most at risk. We need more of a straight easterly in my neck of the woods. However, that is with a straight streamer. If a trough develops then i think all areas will be at risk. Isnt the wind profile meant to veer more to an easterly later in the weekend? It starts more NE'erly, then switches if im not mistaken...

    The 10 o clock news weather forecast showed the snow showers tomorrow afternoon pepping up quite nicely over East Anglia, London and Kent. Could be another interesting day tomorrow! And then there's the weekend...

    A lot of people are saying the snow will be light, but there is a lot of potential. Convection off the north sea is unpredictable. No model is going to pick it up, especially this far out. Streamers and showers will develop at a few hours notice.

    Tomorrow seems like its getting upgraded steadily, wouldn't be all that surprised for places to get between 5-8cms, the key thing this time is there shouldn't be much marginality because the winds are coming in from the NW at lower levels, so the showers rotate around the low, entering near the Wash then swinging down through EA+SE...

    I'll have to keep an eye for that, esp if it comes early enough to be an issue for my journey...

    Do you have a link to the latest NAE precip charts for tomorrow?
