East Anglia & South East Cold Spell Discussion

[Upgrade]

Hi, Im in St Neots - how frustrating is it..!! just cant see it making to us.

God , none here yet. Where the hell is it?!!!

[snowbob]

Certainly a relief to see those bigger flakes now, I've been holding my breath all evening

tell me about it mate lets hope we get a few inches out of this

[Southender]

looks like se essex will miss out then paul s? Oh well, bedtime and a sulk.

[Shunter]

Check out the satellite loop the snow band seems to have quite a lot of easterly momentum, I think this could all continue to move further east than suggested by the professional forecasters http://www.sat24.com/gb

The Easterly extent of precipitation has now reached the Eastern Coast line and it appears to be heading North slowly. If this continues I would expect it to reach the Thames in about 30 minutes or so.

[morfius]

Still waiting in Surbiton just a few miles east of you....

Coming down decently in Hampton Court now, shouldn't be long before you get some more!

[charlton north-downs]

Very very heavy snow in Biggin Hill for the last 20 mins covering everywhere. If this goes on then it will be the heaviest since Feb 2009

[scotteboi]

Whats with little ones ... we aren't all so little on here or?

Okay, okay rumbled I MEANT ME!!!!

[Amanzi]

I simply can't believe the shape of the low!!!

On radar its AMAZING, you can see its center of circulation near the IoW with a clear slot and strong convection wrapping around the Ne section...honestly that looks rather closer to a hurricane shape then a normal extra-tropical low, its a stunning looking thing right now, I doubt it holds that shape long but thats such an impressive looking system...

I just said the same thing to my son (lived in Florida for 6 years and watched enough cane eyewalls on radar)!

[icy toes]

The radar is showing the band below me moving west, not north. That could be the furthest north it's going to get. Don't think it's going to get any further into Cambridgeshire. I hope I'm proved wrong as I can't believe how close it is

[stewfox]

Thats because there's too much area covered by EA and SE.

PLEASE split this threads up! No-ones posts are being seen!!!

Agree its silly with half the UK pop living in this area

Why Not add home counties one

[maelstrom99]

Just started snowing in Surbiton, finally

[kold weather]

Any pics Darren - Would be nice to see

[Vesuvius]

Is that low alluded to on CountryFile still due to hit us in a few days time ?

:clutchingstraws:

Unlikly you'll miss out judging my the radar. Looking good in the next hour or so for Southend.

Have you got any snow ? (falling)

[patrickshere]

2" or so now here in Aylesbury. Tempted to make a meter to keep track!

[Blizzard_of_Oz]

you are currently positioned 10 miles east of where the low is curving round but I suspect the low will shift 50 miles further east in the next hour bringing you into the equation. There is a heavy band to the south going.to hit you / me at around 1030 / 11pm. If that fails join me with your sledge 10 miles west in Stevenage tommorow lol! I have about 2/3cm so far but its getting heavier by the minute,

Hi Tim just caught up on here with your post, I hope you are right but I don't think so, you reckon on 50 miles further East that would be a huge shift. However the band to our South may head North in the next 2 hours.

[Tim Bland]

:lol: Thanks for the input Tim! I appreciate it! When is this heavier 'sweet spot' due to move towards us?

I would guess the heaviest falls would be between 00z and 03z for our area. The astern extension of this will be more significant that the northern extent IMO so people NE of Herts may need some Prozac! Your time will come though!

We may just catch it then!

Light flakes here in Herne Bay

:clutchingstraws:

Well Tomasz said it was only a possibility and it doesnt look likely, but apparently N24 said there was a risk of heavy snow on Saturday spreading in from the East...

[Neilsouth]

SNOWING!

[gornaldo]

Still waiting in North (Central) London...

This is killing me.

SURELY this can't miss me? Somebody re-assure me....

[snowbob]

This band of ppn is swirling/pivoting and just look at the tail end if I can call it that. We could be seeing several hours of very slow moving heavy snow. Tomorrow morning into the afternoon looks very interesting as we maybe under several hours of more snow. This is not taking into account the rest of the snowfall for the rest of the week into the weekend.

cheers yamkin what would your guess be on totals about 5 inches or am i way out lol
