East Anglia & South East Cold Spell Discussion

[snowray]

15 mins of rain, now light sleet.

Hi lupiejan,

If you look at the reports of rain they're mostly from London Boroughs or close to the river.

Hopefully with colder air undercutting, the trend should be to snow but cant see more than 1cm at most here, if that!

Regards,

Tom.

Its raining now tom. Maybe the colder air needs a bit longer to mix down (she says hopefully)

Last post, off to bed.

Always wanted to live in Canada :unsure: :lol:

Ha ha!!:lol:

Yeah I shall be off soon, still have large flakes and heavy snow.

[SMU]

Guys- its the Thames thats done this- modified the surface air upwards by around 0.5/1 degree- it ruined our chances of 5 inches the other night by modifying the temp from 0c to 0.5c & its done the same tonight-

It was -4c when I left the car park at wk- now its above freezing-

Ah well- heavy sleet & it will be over soon-

watch as the air dries out A bit - it will turn to snow over the weald of kent....

GL ppl-

Raining here in Shoebury

[Dave Clarke]

Most of the ice on the road, snow on the pavements, houses and grass has been washed off by the rain, I was enjoying watching all the fools wheelspin down my road!!

[snowbob]

heavy rain can't believe it

[Sno' problem]

Just a total shizer...There does seem to be more ppn building behind the 'front' (which just happened to break-up before hitting me), but so light it is yet another shambles for me.

[Shunter]

Nice big snow flakes here right now, not too heavy mind you but the front seems to be weakenig almost as quickly as it pepped up at the moment, in the meantime its powering up west of London near Reading instead.

Odd how its raining in Gravsend, I'd suspect it probably has something to do with the wind direction being onshore making it just the wrong side of marginal whilst here we've got land to our north which is keeping it just the rigbt side of marginal.

getting a few flakes now Kold. Funny it feels really warm outside atm.

Still moderate snow here in Essex with a VERY orange sky.:unsure:

Our drive (which took hubby 2 hours to clear this morning) is now completely covered again!

[Rinse The Raindrops]

strange huge flakes but not heavy more of a flurry

[Guest North Sea Snow Convection]

Just tuned into this thread after a nights telly.

I'm now wishing that following a dry frosty day with temps remaining the right side of freezing - that it was just a dry frosty night to come and my 2cms from early Friday which has easily survived several hours of bright winter sunshine on both days wasn't now facing oncoming rain to ruin things!

Safe to say I won't be window watching for this!

Night all

[spayne]

Biggest flakes I've ever seen.......still moderate snow falling.....all bare surfaces are now covered again!!

[wellington boot]

I'm crossing my fingers that at 150m and in the middle of the country and with 8 inches lying on the ground, the snow will stay snow for us.

[dallas]

gone from rain to sleety mix, will wait to see the band clear

[asnowyclassic]

For all of you who have snow - good news!!! I am sure no one believed me when I said a flash warning had been issued for our area - mind you, I didn't believe it either!!

[dubmuffin]

Oh no! I waited patiently all night for that front to come down, and now rain! How disappointing, how funny!

[FetchCB]

Snowing now

[snowray]

At last.....moderate snow! Will I get 10 mins worth, or could it stretch to 15 mins I wonder?

Damn, just went out, very wet snow.

Steve, look out the window - moderate snow now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AtlanticFlamethrower]

PPN still looks more exciting on the radar than ground level. light-moderate, yet to fill any footprints in the 2 ins we already had. without snow on the ground would be called a dusting. GFS consistently predicted lowest snow totals for this region (1-2mm) which is looking accurate at this stage.

[john mac]

steve have i seen all the snow now for my area?
