Issued at: 1529 Sun 1 Feb

[Coast]

White out in Eastbourne!!!! Laying nicely now on exposed surfaces, quite surprised and pleased to see it start so early. I also thought our extreme part of the South part of the SE coast might just miss the best of it!

[Neilsouth]

i agree no need to troll. im in sittingbourne neil and its black cloud coming from your way!

Its here mate and its VERY nasty outside for drivers!. It's so bad that houses at the bottom of the road are vanishing and i'm being serious , the wind is also picking up

:lol:

[hippyhattie]

[nick sussex]

Some developments on the gfs it now trends to the euros in the early stages this could become now one of the great weeks in terms of wintry weather for years.

[snowwonder]

Where is all tonights snow coming from, looking at Sat there is not much over north sea or low countries. just a little concerned that it may not live up to my excitement!!!! Not even had a shower here yet! :o

[runboy]

I am sorry CV, I have to pull you up on this, the Cold Uppers are just approaching the Essex Coast and will spread westwards to as far west as Devon over the next 36 hours :o I think you have made a monumental booboo there Mate

When you say Essex coast, is that the northern edge of the uppers (just thinking about us a bit further north in North Norfolk)?

Hippyhattie if you can , not sure what transport you have but check out towards Herne. I went out for a driver earlier and the heavy snow line seems to be between canterbury and herne.

snowwonder Don't worry fella there are plenty of developments , the radar can't pick up the precipitation very well in the north sea. Its hammering it down outside its just constantly streaming in from the north sea

This is Going the way I thought it would about an hour ago, North Kent, Eastern Kent, and areas to the South of the Norfolk Coast and adjacent getting and continuing to get these Streamers, Thames Streamer firing blanks at the moment.

Southern Extent of the Norfolk Streamer would be Chelmsford

Northern Extent of the Kent Streamer Herne down to Folkestone and across to Eastbourne (Coasty)

The Middle Bit - A No Mans Land, going into the Model Discussion to focus on Tomorrow's Frontal Snow Now
