East Anglia & South East Cold Spell Discussion XXXIV

[Neilsouth]

When it comes to the models the star performer has been the NMM IMO. Absolutely nailed today based on the runs I looked at yesterday.

What does the NMM say for kent/east kent later? , i did ask that last night but no reply

What about NW Kent then Paul?

[saint]

I work down on Victoria Street.

I hope so Saint. Trains timetable seem to be ok

PM me when its starts snowing again heavily. so we can both enjoy together...

Cool will PM you later! (BTW light snow falling here)

Victoria street, police station on Victoria street is only 5 mins away so we should both see it at around the same time.

[Nick.F]

Ok thaw has stopped, and snow falling again.

Temps risen to 0c and dewpoint fallen to -1.5c

[kold weather]

Not always Paul it depends on where the colder air coming into it and sometimes the exact evolution of the low, for exmaple this time its been on the eastern side but there have been many times where its been on the western side of the low. Usually in this set-up your right the eastern side will get the milder air obviously because of the drag but with a mature system or a brand new system that hasn't developed that can often be different.

As for tomorrow, a mild sector is going to go right over us Paul, however because its weakening the milder air should steadily be mixed out.

Anyway just seen the radar and still dog rough looking for this area, better for places either further west or east however, and very good for E.Kent right now as well.

[Roo]

I work down on Victoria Street.

Ah well....at least the slide trip back to the station should be easier!!

Nice and snowy down here in Camp at the moment. No sign of a thaw yet....

[speedy1]

Snowing again in Leighton Buzzard, not very impressive flakes as of yet but certainly lots of them. In fact they are starting to beef up a bit now

[runboy]

God the radar is making me sick looking at it!

If you have the Nw radar, take a look at the clear slot just east of Ipswich right now and look at the moment of where that clear slot is heading...have any guesses....

Right through to yours truely...

So the last decent shot at snow for this part of the region looks like going past whilst everywhere else gets some snow...screw that!

That is how I felt a few weeks back when we had the last big snowy spell - a huge swath a snow cloud coming down the north sea and into EA on a NE wind, and when it hit land it split into two banks with Norwich in the middle. It was like the parting of the sea! Amazing to see on the radar.

[MattS]

Whoops forgot N Cambs

Have you go anything yet Paul? Some monster flakes coming down here in Ipswich now....quite a covering already! What i like the most is the apparent lack of breeze! How are we looking for tomorrow and friday? Convective stuff possible?

[ickledoozer]

Nice chunky snow flakes in SW MK! I am very Pleased!

[MAF]

well it just seems to be getting better for SE, just seen the forecast before th 1 o'clock news and London and SE seem to be in the firing line. Paul, i reckon around 15:00 should be the time the sleet turns to proper snow there in C London, just in time for me to be making my way into work

[Dave Clarke]

The precip moving SW from Suffolk towards London is intensifying on radar loop

[speedy1]

WOW it is rather impressive here now. 20p size ATM.

Walking down Victoria street after the snow in December was deadly...so icy... Expect that in the coming days!

You can see the snow around the Milton Keyens area on that traffic cam, visibility is reduced!

[YokTok]

Will this start affecting Surrey (Reigate), wondering whether it'd be prudent to leave work early to make sure I get home.

[MAF]

down the road from you Dave, in Woolwich, whats the timing you reckon for the band to move to our area?

[yamkin]

Doesn't look like that on the radar - are they expecting some convective stuff or are they using their crystal ball? It looks pretty much light but persistent for the rest of the day from where I'm sitting.

Would be nice if it came true though

DS

ppn band to the N/NE direction is heading our way

[Archie_Lewis]

About 3 hours or so, just in time for rush hour

[kold weather]

Dry slot coming down towards S.Essex, un-real!

No doubting this will give more to Sw/W London then me again!

I'm lost for words just how amazing the synoptics are...and how terrible the actual snowfall has been round this area...I'm just thankfully I got what I did last night otherwise things would have been real bad.

If it freezes up tonight then at the snow I've got should be able to hang around with a few top ups.

Nice dark echos off the coast of Harwich - hope it comes down our way Might be able to get out of work early!

[SussexmarkyMark]

Talking of Brighton (in reply to earlier post and as i am here and not in Newbury!) - it is still fairly wet snow no? but I think the temps are dropping. What is the outlook here am getting really confused........

Fairly wet in city centre, but on all the hillier parts it's proper crunchy stuff.

[BarnetBlizzard]

LOoks like ill be hit by another band soon, been snowing reasonably heavy all day here, got around 4-5 inches.
