East Anglia & South East Cold Spell Discussion

[TEITS]

Sunday looks very promising.

[Shunter]

If the occlusion showing on the T24 Fax is correct we should have a nice Thames streamer going tomorrow am.

Think the weekend is a going to be a major dissapointment in our vicinity, we are already marginal in the SE corner the warm front will undoubtably turn it to sleet or rain.

[Shutterbug Netty]

Heavy snow in Ipswich at the mo, first little batch of a big cluster of showers heading in from the N.S !

Hate to ask but........ are these likely to come my way do you think?

[Steve C]

Should be coming over your way, Ive noticed today that the showers are following the course of the River Colne and go out towards Rowhedge!

Can't see anything yet, but am expecting..

Deciding whether to go for a few beers in Bricklayers, near North Station now.

[Nalo101]

Colchester, Harwich,Felixstowe,woodbridge and Ipswich should all be seeing snow now...

Correctomundo

We've done ok here, hoping for better over the weekend though!

Kent streamer, not a Thames streamer. Too much of a northerly component to the winds. Nevertheless, the BBC graphics don't look promising at all for the next 48 hrs!

[cjwardy]

The way those showers are rolling in off the north sea ....anyone fancy a streamer tonight?! I do

[ChartViewer]

Hope kold Weather doesn't see that UK Snow map, as did you see the spec of Green just over Thurrock

[SteveCoops]

http://www.meteox.com/h.aspx?r=&jaar=-3&soort=loop1uur shows quite a bit coming in from the North Sea, zooming in looks good too.

[ickledoozer]

If they do remain potent enough then they are more likely to hit Northants.

I was hoping that with the wind direction it would curl them down our way, nevermind!

Hope you OK

Where is the warm front?

Fetch. Shunter does post some irratic statements. Not sure why.

[ribster]

Well another amazing day of this winter here, heavy snowfall here this morning, which gave a good dumping. Snowing again this evening and absolutely no sign of a credible breakdown in sight - great stuff!

I do love these 'cold and dry' and 'marginal' situations!!

[k66yla]

Heavy shower just started, small flakes. Michael Fish going to be on BBC SE in a bit.

[MAF]

Essex are going to grit less at the weekend to save grit for the weekdays.

Thats a bad idea!

[Buckster]

not happy reading that Essex county council statement

will grind the towns to a halt

how will the buses cope with not many of their routes being gritted ?

Not bad, was it?

[Brocken Spectre]

Not sure what's happening with the temps here in the Medway area, seem to be bouncing from +0.2 to +0.7, warmest it's been all day. However the windchill is making it feel the coldest all day.....lol!

[TEITS]

Just looked at the 12Z NMM which has been the star model in recent days.

The good news is it indicates alot more showers tomorrow than today. This includes all of the region with these becoming far more widespread later on in the day. I feel Friday night/Saturday is going to be peak activity with regards to convection. We then have Sunday to look forward to!

I will add though that I still feel Sunday will be disappointing for those directly on the coast.

Yeah. Great idea. Wont catch me in the car sunday then, if this snowmaggedon event materialises. Not much happening here. Clouds now moving Sw which is an encouraging sign at least.

[Ocean Transit]

National BBC are not keen on anything really in the SE/EA tomorrow, local should be different (unless all the models are wrong!)

Looking like heavy snow hitting Chelmsford in 40 minutes judging by the latest radar
