Snow Watch: London, Se England & E Anglia

[scud]

Looking at the sky in Slough, it is clear!!!

We got flurries here in Staines right now

[moogyboobles]

Just popped to the shop round the corner...oh the snow is lovely. I've not seen snow like it (that I recall) all soft and powdery, not crunchy or icy.

In the time I went to the shop and back my previous footprints were covered!

Paul, yep seems like the streamer is setting up stronger further west, my home location would be in the bullseye zone for this set-up. Despite that showers coverage is increase and models do suggest that this is in response to more forcing coming in from the north sea, nice little rash of showers I'm watching that seem to be developing in southern Kent...maybe a streamer near Dover!!!

A streamer would be good! I'm in Folkestone

Does anybody know if Dartford had a clap of thunder in the last minute, mind you sounded more like an explosion

[Mike Storm]

that ligntening just hit an aircraft in bound london city.... all ok heard the pilot report it on the scanner 10sec after the flash

[Essexgooner]

Indeed. Most disappointing eh Paul.

Havent had nothing here now for over an hour, typical

[sabrewulf]

its started in Basingstoke. light snow flurry at the moment...

at last!!

[colboy]

I think I have just heard a rumble of thunder here in Bexleyheath??

WE heard it in Sidcup as well

[stratty]

....................according to the satelite, an area of much more dense cloud is making its way over the sea. Because the radar doesn't really pick up the precip in this area, could someone tell me whether this is where our snow is coming from for tonight?

That's what I was discussing yesterday, the potential of thunder within the snow. My idea was pretty much abolished, so I'm glad the convection kicked in with a bang.

[kold weather]

Yep thundersnow seems very probable in such a set-up, wouldn't be all that surprised if there are some more reports coming in over the next few hours of thundersnow, very common in these streamer set-ups, rather odd to see though!

[rsts2]

thundersnow here too!

[TheGardener]

Can confirm that we have just had lightening followed by thunder and now is snowing quiet heavely

[Flash Elvis]

Where the Snow Gone!!!!

[karencole]

Hi all

Had one shower in Camberley in the last 20 mins which has left cars grass and side roads white, great forecast if I didn't have to travel to the Isle of Wight tomorrow!

How much is it and how do I get it? cheers x

I'm sure one of the Forum team will reply once they have come back from either fainting or weather watching, its very unlike them to leave money on the table ;-)

yea thunder and flash of lightening here too, lots of snow

[snow raven]

Got quite a nice covering here in Bexleyheath. At a guess, I'd say 2-3cm so far?

Good news for me and my Bexleyheath counterparts
