East Anglia & South East Cold Spell Discussion

[kold weather]

Keep going here and be respectful whatever we end up getting!

[Derp Patrol]

Looks like no school for the rest of this week for me then

[Mike Storm]

looking good for me I think.... hope it keeps moving ENE

[Southender]

Thames Streamer anyone?

[Paul Sherman]

I would expect the Meto to Update their warnings in the next few hours and turn most of the Yellows now to Orange as the East shift is becoming apparant, so Kent, Sussex, Essex etc should get the be prepared warning soon.

I would expect the Take Action to broadly stay the same as it is now though

Herts? Pah...... Maybe......

[nick sussex]

I can see the headline now net weather poster causes mass work walkouts! after my comments on the previous thread; the ukmo upto 120hrs easterly still going strong, shortwave looks like undercutting the block, if it does then this is turning into an astonishing cold spell. Wheres SM has he passed out yet with the excitement!

[masked_firefly]

The NW radar postcode zoom is working for me, and showing a line of showers heading in a line ahead of the main band, heading straight for us... Looking hopeful for a little something at least

[John Snow]

Can really see a national emergency being declared in the next few days and the army delivering supplies by helicopter to much of Britain and food rationing being bought in, not in my little pocket of the woods but with this cold spell set to go on into March a national emergency is a strong possibilit

I think everyone should phone work and say "Nick on NW said not to come to work" lol, it's all your fault

[scotteboi]

Hi to all, been lurking for a year or so...have now finally registered. Thanks to all the guys who know loads more than I do, really interesting to see it all panning out and looking forward to anything I get in Braintree

Just told the wife to look forward to 10 inches tonight...I wasn't happy when she replied "why is your brother coming round?"

Stay safe in the snow!!

[Neilsouth]

wow!

I can't zoom any more by double clicking on the map (the zoom controls have also gone from the top left?) but entering your postcode works fine still.

PANIC BUYING ALERT! <_< People are going nuts out there, it's like day after tomorrow!. My mum in Hampshire got back from the shops, the supermarket has long queues of people waiting at the checkouts, bread and milk shelves are completely empty, dog and cat food are flying off the shelves, medicines are being snapped up, in the hardware store people are stocking up on paraffin and sledges. Hope you lucky people who get a dumping enjoy it! Flurries have tapered off here but still very cold.

Nick Sussex said in last thread that ENE winds are being progged from Thurs - perfect for streamers into the South and East London.

theres suppose to be a zoom function in the top left corner so you can zoom in and out at any point without haveing to use the postal code option

[janetmh71]

Sorry I am going to ask this question too but what do people think are the chances of snow in North West Norfolk??

[TEITS]

So it looks like the 12Z continued with the trend from the 06Z.

This band of heavy snow looks to hit London head on. We then see this move N with again the S limit being S Cambs. This band then seems to move into the Midlands but as it does so we see the band from the N hit Cambs, Norfolk. The GFS indicates these bands of snow merging before moving S into the rest of the region for tomorrow.

Looking at the sat/radar im even more confident of my forecast this morning.

Liking the look of the band of precip over the Cherbourg Peninsula at the moment - might that be building and heading this way?
