East Anglia & South East Cold Spell Discussion

Did the Abbey look pretty in the snow?

Abbey looked beautiful.

Went down to the Waffle house on Saturday. Looked beautiful with the snow and blue sky.

But what about SPLODGES, Have you seen any SPLODGES???????????????????????

YES!!!!!!!!!!!:lol:

[chilly milly]

I think the lighter precip will fall as rain but as the heavier bursts arrive the precip has left time to melt as it falls so is snow/sleet. Temp here steady at 1.4c, unsure of dew point.

1.3c here Tommy and a dewpoint of -0.2c

Doesn't look good. Still nothing falling here, which is odd as I thought it would have arrived by now.

[snow drift]

Fantastic. See we all know what a splodges is.

[tcc]

Started off as rain earlier...but now heavy snow!! Should imagine it's wet snow, possibly caused by evaporative cooling...

[Nick F]

The 'milder' air with rain moving in over the cold snow fields is creating mist and fog around here with visibility dropping all the time.

[Paul Sherman]

I cannot believe how rapid the thaw is today.

For the first time since Thursday afternoon, I can now see some of the tarmac on my road.

Sorry but that Ice this morning was totally dangerous!

[Shunter]

turning sleety now in gravesend East. Temp fallen from 2.3c to 1.7c

[charlton north-downs]

Heavy wet snow in Biggin Hill 20 miles South of London on the North Downs -Height making it less marginal .New weather station is not working as it now say +1c and dew point has dropped to 0.7 . This is so marginal and I might just preserve the snow in the back garden. If this had been snow from this morning we would have at least another 4ins of snow,

Edit Heavy snow now falling temps are falling fast -starting to settle on cars.

Still a way off hitting Cambridge, hopefully it will be snow all the way through. Likely PPN will reach me at dusk at the earliest

Yup, similar to that here now as their are more flakes in this sleet.

[Snow Cat]

They are having fun on the south central thread if anyone wants a look, my parents are in Hampshire and have 0c with heavy snow with large snow flakes they have 2 inches of snow already.

Went from 0c and ice this morning here to 4c and rain now. Not much rain though, it's on the radar but not much falling.

[Norfolk_N_chance]

temp here in north norfolk (near fakenham) has not risen above 0c since thursday and we have 5-6 inches of snow still laying around.

I see met office/bbc are now giving severe weather warnings for sleet/snow/rain but no mention of how much we'll get (if any)

would any of you experienced model watchers/forecasters/weather enthusiasts be able to shed some light on tonights possible event??

would i be likely to get more snow? is this a very marginal event tonight?

your views/experience would be very helpful as i have to go to work tonight! (16 mile drive on minor roads and i have no 4x4)

many thanks

After a couple of hours of moderate rain/sleet, it has now turned to snow! Albeit quite wet snow

[BarnetBlizzard]

Wet snow rather heavy now No more splodges for me. Hopefully.

[asnowyclassic]

[saint]

:yahoo:

Sadly some of my work takes place in Luton, I often have to drive around Luton!

But don't upset people from Luton, they may see your post!:lol:

[patrickshere]

Very light and pathetic sleety snow here! Driving me mad as I know no more than 5-10 miles down the road it's been tipping it down. Just won't come north! Needs to move a bit more north west for us to see anything significant I think.

Sleet falling here

[charlton north-downs]

Very heavy snow in Biggin Hill Settling over old snow and recovering what was lost this morning The heaviest snow so far this winter because its is not dry snow as before.

[Country Boy]

Its -1c here in little clacton..Essex.. and light rain is falling on frozen ground..Crazy weather . Very tricky about now and if its going to rain then that will wash the salt away on the roads...its a tricky decision time for highway staff, as when darkness falls the temp. is going to get lower...Snow would be better

[ukmoose]

Out in the furthest reaches of the SE zone (north Bucks) nothing! Warmest day since last Thursday (2 degrees approx) and the lying snow is beginning to melt a little. See what the evening brings...
