Looking forward to the downgrades tomorrow as it degrades, or it turning to rain over London as it heads east
-
He doesn't exactly get me enthused either. Think he's a mildy.
He did predict quite a lot of snow just before the amazing 'beast from the east' in December.

Who writes this durge? Unintelligent moronic paper headlines regarding cold weather really irritate me.
It gives a good insight into how much rubbish the UK media (both broadsheet and tabloid) write when you see nonsense and sensationalism like that written about a subject you know well. Makes one sceptical about the knowledge in articles about subjects you may know little about.

Better to wait for a decent Ryanair sale then everyone can fly to Europe somewhere in a couple of weeks for guaranteed snow, then book a trip after for guaranteed early spring warmth around the Med. Much better than constant damp in the UK.

Currently about 0.5mm in Se London
-
Already turning to rain in the Midlands according to that thread
-
Look to be on course for less than most other areas here in SE London/NW Kent. Darker colours to north heading to East London/Essex, and the stuff from North west/Cheshire heading SW to W London, Berkshire, Oxford. We shall see!

Mmmmmm.....I am throwing the towel in.
The front moving in from the west is dying if not alredy dead. Any precipitation during the day tomorrow is likely to be rain and then if this turns to snow in the evening it is unlikely to stick.
Even the Wednesday event has been downgraded and is increasingly looking like being just a slack flow.
Think I need a break from Netweather, watching loads of charts out into lala land does not make it happen unfortunately! Luckily I am skiing in 6 weeks, can get my snow fix then.
Indeed anyone wanting snow head to the channel tunnel - as soon as you're in France there will be much more and then drive any direction for more. When all of it crosses the channel it will be definite snow.
-
I'm really confused, I can see that tomorrow afternoon/ evening is dodgy but there is still tues, wed and thurs at least for snow in kent isn't there? Why is there so much 'winter is over' mentality. Everything I have seen looked good for it on those days, or has it all changed again?
Probably because 90% of snow events turn to rain or fade away near the time and then we hear 'but wait until the next day/week/event it's looking much better' before getting close again and a downgrade. A groundhog day mindset can set in.
It's impossible to predict until a few hours before anyway.
-
Hopefully the latest BBC forecast is conservative. It showed precipitation as rain on Saturday and not very far north, but still cold. Just about as cold as it can be before it snows. Cold rain! Typical story if that happens. Then when it does become cold enough the rain has gone as it headed away south, and then some very light showers just brushing the Kent coast but that's about it.
-
Just seen BBC forecast. Nowt snow all week now. Remember last week when it rained all night at 2-3c yet the same system dumped a load of snow over France, Belgium, Holland as it moved south, and hearing we would be next. No luck then and none now!
-
Let's hope for some snow tonight. A long shot I know. Cold (4-5c) rain is awful weather. Always annoying to see the forecast as very cold but rain over the SE then turn to a mass of white as it crosses the channel and hits the European mainland as the BBC forecast shows tonight.
-
Turning very dark again here in Se London. This has happened half a dozen times though and it always seems to move by a few miles away, with a few spots of rain and then the sun arrives again. Frustrating and hopefully different this time.
EDIT : All the dark clouds seem to be just too far north again. Can see them clearly - must only be a couple of miles
-
Incredible!! Another Thunderstorm in SE London.10th of the year.
I'm in SE London and have seen all of one burst of thunder all day. It keeps skimming by. Same thing in last 10 mins. Where are you?
-
Tried to get Mrs Downpour to go but she moaned something about it being too cold. Hanger Hill Park was great in Ealing on Thursday but we need a top up now. Did people in N/S/SE London get a cm or two today?
I'm in SE London and only had 1mm today. Im not joking that's it. I have been inspired by the posts of travelling out to nearby rural areas and will try and do that tomorrow. Only 20 miles away should have loads of deep snow. It will be lovely but I would love to see the city under deep snow which looks great, but we've continuously missed out this week so heading out it is.
-
hi all same here in belvedere
Not even a cm in Abbey Wood to add to the 2cm that's fallen throughout the whole week.
-
Is anyone in south-east London seeing any snow at the moment?
A shower started about 10 minutes ago. Hopefully we can top up our 1/2cm. Is much more coming here or bypassing as usual?
-
hello and welcome to NW from a fellow woolwich resident. well plumstead really. yes it does look like we will miss this lot, have always feared we are too north and west for it to have reached us.
Hi I'm in Abbey Wood and that's disappointing to hear. We have only had 2cm max at all around here over the past few days. Hopefully Sunday will be better.

Nothing in SE London surprisingly
Just wondering why when I looked at 8AM this morning it was sunny and dry. Not even rain. Considering 30 miles away in kent they had inches of snow, and also to the north of london why nothing came?

The light band moving east at the moment is completely dying as it reaches London. Some falls north though around Northampton. Some red spots over Aylesbury to the north and Southampton to the SW.
