Snow Watch: London, Se England & East Anglia

[kold weather]

Does appear like the front is making no major northwards progress right now and given the heavier pluse seems to be a little further south where it was expected it does suggest things are a little further south then was predicted. Not going to make a difference for where I am but for those places north of London it does make a difference, possibly quite a few hours difference.

Very wet day in the south, as I said in the CS thread some places upto 20-25mm already with a good 6hrs of rainfall yet including a heavy pluse working its way ENE.

[Someone from the South]

Only 1.5*C here. But still rain...

It will only have to drop a little further!

[rubble79]

Do I need to get all of St Albans to start praying? lol

Sure this isn't going to worth it but worth a shot. :huh:

[Coast]

Is there a Praying Smiley!! D

Yes but being an Orthodox snow worshipper from the Church of St Nicholas, I get to use it first!

Damn

I think you might be right about the Northern Extent Steve, It has ground to a Halt in a Line from Suffolk across to Cardiff, If anything the Heavier stuff is moving Directly East, Maybe as you say things could get Interesting after Midnight for the E & SE once that Northerly Gale Sets In as the Low exits the Dover Straights, Need the Cold Air to keep diving South for the next 8 hours - Is there a Praying Smiley!!

High wycombe whilst its HIGH in terms of elevation is a long way 'SOUTH' for sleet to be visible at this stage of the game-

Guys look at the undercut at 144 on the GFS-

Yes looks like the 12z GFS is coming into line with its ensembles.

[Alpine glow]

Ohhhhhhh

Is there ANY chance for us on the coast - any at all...?

This is such good news for everyone on this thread - I don't hold out much hope for me here in Brighton but I hope further inland South gets to see some snow.. especially those who haven't yet...

[andyw111]

So what are the chances of Snow in Romford Essex now?

About 40 miles north of High Wycombe 3.5c here so I guess just possible for sleet at around 400/500ft plus down there ?

[Arrows]

Slim my son. We can all hope but tbh, coastal areas will just be rain

[SMU]

If the 12z comes off I will be a monkeys Uncle- But a Monkeys Uncle- in deep snow

Looks like a Thames snow streamer setting up at 162 & 168- thats the East essex posse doomed then-

Do you have a patent on the pray smiley or can anyone use it? Well if that undercut happens then its great for the se and will make the recent cold spell seem pretty average!

I Smell Possible Easterly at T168 And advected Continental Cold Pool.

[Great Plum]

The rain does seem sleety here in Reigate...

More rain... niiiiiiiice :lol: I've been up since 6am and it hasn't stopped!

[snowspotter]

I was thinking the same thing here a few minutes ago. would this be due to the thin wedge of of -3 850Hpa air that is over us on the 12z run? I note it gets shunted out of the way by 6pm

[NorthantsSnow]

Breaking news; not really related to this region in any way but of general interest-

Paris airports have CLOSED as Quinten hits city from Atlantic.

To be expected really.

It might be - I have a bit of elevation (at the council offices) - we shall see!
