Snow Watch: London, Se England & E Anglia

[SuttonStorm]

LOL - light snow just started in Sutton 0.2c DP -1.4c

Snow is quite dry and falling slowly, but I fear it will get wetter quite soon, as the 850s are rising fast as the ppn approaches from the south.

Still, cant be too grumpy as the snow we have already had was great, with the prospects improving for some more!

Melted snow* falling here in Brighton.

*rain

[maidstone weather]

Something is falling here now but it looks quite slushy in nature. Deffo not snowflakes but larger than usual raindrops

Dewp -1.1C

Might turn more wintry if dewp holds and the main precip heads in?

[Snow Obsession]

Well I'm very happy that the Met Office have put out the early warning for Bucks etc but the radar is showing sleet now. Haven't had anything in Wycombe yet though.

heavy sticking snow now starting to hit wimbledon sw london yippeee i had a funny feeling that it would snow and with temps and dews looking good at the moment i see no reason why this cant be a snow event in these neck off the woods still got 10cms left in places and these are helping the upper air temps aswell

[Neilsouth]

Blizzard!!!!11

ooops sorry thought it was 1991 again

[Mammatus]

Just in from work, this time last night I had to scrap the car off before I could drive home, tonight, parked in same spot, didnt have to, feels warmer and temp outside here in bas showing as 2.5degrees. Still got my snow lanterns intact and quite a lot of snow on the ground, infact my kids school, where it had been closed and the fact they didnt let them on it today, still looks really lovely, how I want to climb the fence and run around like a loon all over it lol.

Lol

That wasnt a bad call

Latest BBC (UKMO Data) Going against the GFS For Friday, as John says Wet Snow and maybe accumalations over the Downs etc with Elevation other than that a Grundgy day.

Gavin I totally disagree with you on tonights prospects Mate, I would love for it to be Snow but with the Reports and Obs now coming in from Sussex and Kent of Rain and rapidly rising Dewpoints It really might not even be Transitionary Snow this far east, the places that will do well are much further North and West.

Bed, Bucks,Berks, Oxon etc etc

We will have to agree to disagree Paul. As I said earlier on, eastern parts of East Anglia and Kent will see rain, but west Essex, Suffolk, Norfolk and especially Cambridgshire will do very well. Not long to wait now mate........

Just to let you know that it has started to rain quite heavily here in Brighton

My snowman's head fell off this evening and his eyes (sprouts) fell out - he will be nothing in the morning

But... on the bright side the models discussion posts look very exciting for the next few weeks - I will watch like a hawk even though I have veeeery limited knowledge of what they are talking about..!

I hope there is snow for the north of M4

[maidstone weather]

oh dear dewpoint just shot up from -1.1C to -0.6C!!

[SMU]

LOL-

Lets forecast whats going to happen by using eveyones available dewpoint-

If its below Zero then its will fall as sleet & snow-

thats a good start-

Then go from there-

I have no doubt areas further North and West in our Region will see transitionary Snow but anything that falls will get washed away, surely you are not telling me that this will be an all Snow event with nothing turning to Rain even in your Location ??

[frozencanals]

I've no weather station here so I cannot check dew points, but the sky has gone very orange over this bit of SE London, not sure what is going to fall, but nothing at the moment

Cheers

Very cold and pink sky in Ealing, west London. Feels like snow on its way I must admit.

[tasty_snacks]

flakes blowing around outside here. not completely dry, but certainly not sleet.

[fatyido]

MET OFFICE HAS JUST UPGRADED AND INCLUDED CAMBRIDGESHIRE WARNING OF HEAVY SNOW LATER TONIGHT, AS IT HAS SHIFTED SLIGHTLY MORE EASTWARDS THAN FIRST THOUGHT. GET IN....!!!

[Alpine glow]

Hi.. In Brighton, East Sussex it started to rain quite heavily about 10 mins ago. Definately rain - the really really cold sharp type that you wouldn't want to be out in..!

[maidstone weather]

If SOuthampton can get front and back edge snow I'm sure we can scrape something out. Though am failing to see how, it's raining lightly at the mo. Maybe when the heavy stuff gets here we'll see something but dewpoint is -0.6C
