[Snow Watch: London, Se England & East Anglia]

Where is here?

Bishops stortford i think.

It is. Is still snowing here too (heavily). Should get 3/4 inches here before the snow stops.

[Snow Watch: London, Se England & East Anglia]

Is snowing heavily here. Currently have an inch or so.

[February CET]

I've always wondered why people are so keen to keep average monthly temps down (as now). It seems that they'd prefer cold (but snowless) weather to mild weather, mainly because it reduces the CET figure. But why?

One theory I have is that everyone knows (whether they want to admit it or now) that modern winters are becoming much milder (overall). People therefore hold onto the hope that present and future temps will fall, thus justifying either their skepticism in their minds (if they are GW skeptics, which seems quite common) or being a sign of a short-term cyclical change in UK weather patterns.

Personally, I can see our climate/winters warming regardless. Of course, there will always be room for anomalies (like this year). I personally wouldn't mind a return to mild.

Is definitely proper sleet here now.

[Snow Watch London, Se England & E Anglia]

Just started snowing here. Judging by the rainfall radar, just 1 hour/90 mins of snow awaits us though. Still grateful though.

[Snow Watch London, Se England & E Anglia]

I live very close to the city centre and we just had sleet which turned more to snow!

Looks promising for here then.

[Snow Watch London, Se England & E Anglia]

You could well have a chance but i'm not really an expert.

No problem. I'm interested in what anyone thinks. :lol:

Sawbo quite close to Bishops Stortford

Defintely - I know Sawbo well. Is just a couple of miles.

Herts is a big county. Where abouts which town?

It's Bishops Stortford - East Herts (far Eastern border and about midway between north and south).

Sorry to repeat my post, but didn't type it probably first time round, and am dying to know what more knowledgeable people than me think about my chances.

What does anyone think of my chances of seeing snow tonight given that the following was observed in my area of Herts at 1500 hours:

Temp: 3C

Pressure: 1002 (falling)

I live in Hertfordshire. Thanks.

[Snow Watch London, Se England & E Anglia]

Can i hope for snow here?

We still have lying snow and a couple of inches on the snow fields! about 4 inches.

I hope so, as I am also in Herts. Good luck to the both of us (and others in the SE).

[Snow Watch London, Se England & E Anglia]

It's hit or miss - just curious, did you get snow on Thurs/Fri? I'm 25 miles NNE of London and we had rain all day Thursday and very little snow on Friday. Only 10 miles NW of me in Stevenage they had inches of snow. If it's anything like that again then you and I can expect rain again until late evening/overnight.

Same here. It sounds like we might be living in the same town/area!

[Snow Watch London, Se England & E Anglia]

What do you guys reckon will happen in Hertfordshire in the next few days (about 30-35 miles NNE of London?)

[Snow Watch London, Se England & E Anglia]

Yeah, I think they are just worried that OTT forecasts will just further undermine public confidence in them. I don't think anyone really knows what will happen at this stage! :wacko: :wacko:

[Snow Watch London, Se England & E Anglia]

On their latest forecast, the BBC (or was it ITV?) said that there was 'a chance of a few snow flurries' on Monday night/Tuesday for East Anglia. Has the snow forecast been severely downgraded, or am I missing something? :lol:

[Snow Watch London, Se England & E Anglia]

According to the BBC forecast, my area will be on the edge of the snow band for most of tomorrow night (about 40 miles north west(ish) of london). I reckon it could be a close-run thing, even for those further South and East. I hope you all get some - if not, Monday night looks more interesting, as does Tuesday!

[Snow Watch London, Se England & E Anglia]

According to the radars, the snow is missing me by about 1/2 a mile! :wub: Oh well, at least I have Sunday and Monday to look forward to. :lol:

[Snow Watch London, Se England & E Anglia]

Thanks, Steve. I thought as much.

[Snow Watch London, Se England & E Anglia]

Hi. I've been browsing this forum for some time now without posting - this is my first post. I've been reading with interest about which places in the SE are being hit by snow (it seems there have been so many!). As I have found recent events exciting, I felt the urge to join and start posting!

What would you say the chances of Hertfordshire being hit tonight/ Sunday night/Monday are? It just seems that we have missed most of the snow that other southern counties have had.

Here's hoping.
