Snow Watch London, Se England & E Anglia

[Tom D]

The snow is passing teasingly to the south, with clear blue skies overhead and to the northwest. Temp is falling though. 1.3c.

I know - i have to admit the BBC have been very poor at forecasting 2 events so far this year, when the other models have done really well - i just hope this isn't the case tomorrow afternoon!

Snowing here now.

[Neilsouth]

[snow raven]

Is this snow hitting the South East the start of a Thames Streamer?

[Glideslope]

My first post is - alas - to say that I have nothing in south Chelmsford.

Unlucky! I can't be far from you at all and we had a good 40 minutes of snow. Brightening up now.

Yes and its also developing alot in the southern north sea...

[hippyhattie]

Galleywood. Had a few flakes about an hour ago and blue sky since. Starting to cloud now so maybe we'll see something soon.

Welcome.

Im not far from you and we have had two 15min showers so far this morning, it should'nt be too much longer before you start to see something. Its going to be an interesting week! Clouds are now building to my east again ready for the next lot!

Matt.

[Neilsouth]

Its going much darker , its like late afternoon.... sorry but I'M SO EXCITED!

[snow raven]

Yes and its also developing alot in the southern north sea...

Its come over really, really dark here from the East. I reckon this is the start of the streamer....

"from looking at the forecasts i feel im gonna miss out again this time round always the way always just on the edge of it all doh.gif

im not gettin my hopes up anyway lol

for everyone that is lucky enough to see any, enjoy smile.gif"

Coxxy, I feel the same sense of foreboding - all those big blobs of white seem to head off northerly just before they hit us! Let's hope they're wrong...

Having said that, it looks like half an hour's drive to the north there would be proper sledging potential, though I'm never sure of the wisdom of driving to chase weather - specially if I say it's too bad to get to work...!

Morning all,snowing quite well now, what do the experts think about this NE corner of Kent?

I remember the 70s and 80s and i hoping for a repeat!

[Shunter]

Dew point of -4 . Temp at 0.5c but the snow is melting fast as it hits the ground. Anybody explain ???

[saint]

BBC having special on it-

Pobably worst snow for many years.

Severe event with risk to life possible!!!!

Snow in central london

[HighPressure]

Snow just hitting Surrey now, is this a little earlier than expected?

Ground temp too high would be my guess. The more it snows though the more the ground will cool so if it persists it will settle

Met office has updates . . . great big green section around london for tues and wed?? does that mean they are expecting london to get no snow??

[Neilsouth]
