East Anglia & South East Cold Spell Discussion

[maidstone weather]

Dangerous 0.3C here - the warmest it's been all day!

[MAF]

Nothing here but Sleet - Pmsl not again!

Just a heads up a weakish Streamer has set up as the Low pressure has moved SW Again and it now lies just off the Kent Coast, this means the wind is now veering ENE In the Estuary.

I am surprised Steve Murr is not salivating at this, I fully expect places further down the line to get some decent Snow Showers out of this in the next few hours in this brief window.

We have sleety rainy graupel atm

does that mean another 2 hour journey home tomorrow morning? got out of work this morning at 7, went to Charing Cross to get 0717 train to find it was leaving from London bridge, but the 1st train to Lon bridge was not until 0726 got to Lon bridge eventually to find there were no trains as a train had broken down outside canon street and nothing was running eventually go home at 0915 this morning.

was slight snow on way into work tonight, but i did notice the chance of a streamer setting up when i checked it out earlier. strange thing about tonight was that the clouds were movng in a southerly direction but the winds were from an easterly

[Nick.F]

More manly blob producing much more manly flakes LOL!

My blood sugar must be low, getting giddy....

[huntso]

Bit more hopeful for my location now the wind has gone NE.

If this doesn't work its time to admit defeat I think

[maidstone weather]

Difficult to tell, but the light snow falling here does have a sleety look to it

[Paul Sherman]

You seem to have changed your tune Paul. Do you think areas in London may pick up the odd cm from this later?

Lol Yep

Well was not expecting the Low to Pirouette in the Southern North Sea like it has, hard to say about how long the Streamers will last as it looks pretty weak to me atm.

The Low Pressure must be Female So many mood swings and changes of direction today

BTW To all our lovely Female Followers I am of course joking before you put me on Ignore as well!

[Neilsouth]

John w was right about the warmer sector then

[StormChaseUK]

The winter of 2009/2010.....the picture say's it all!

Apologies if someone has already posted. A few beefier showers rolling into Ipswich now.

hehe that reminds me of this film

Ho ho. I'm sure they will forgive you (the very few of them that there are!)

Just about to say it must be snowing in shoebury by now, hopefully it will hit southend soon, will be interesting to see how longs it lasts in shoebury.

[cooling climate]

The radar definitely suggests that there is a area of snow showers off the coast of Great Yarmouth that

are starting to band together into perhaps a more organised area of snow.

[cjwardy]

Would these images back up your thoughts?

http://www.meteox.co.uk/h.aspx?r=&jaar=-3&soort=loop1uur

they certainly do.

We shall see though

[Southender]

Warmest temps for some time now reported across the region. Plus sleet reports. Think sun could result in mass suicides, esp on the coasts.

[Paul Ashford-Kent]

Heavy snow here in Ashford for the last 10 minutes, the wind seems to have really picked up.

Started a snizzle and quickly went to large flakes.

That would liven up Sunday lunch. I have been telling my snow starved mates in Brixton that there is unlikely to be more snow. Hope I am wrong.

[Timmytour]

No school for the kids today, but work for their dad. Still, nice to know that they have me in their thoughts....

Did here too, strange, pellet-y snow, but may have had drizzle mixed in with it.

Nice!

This is a warm sector on the low in the North Sea. Temperatures will drop away eventually later on this evening. This warm sector has nothing at all to do with Sundays projected snowfalls. Just relax.

[Shunter]

So we are currently in -8c 850mb and 518 Dam air and it is sleeting !!

Do Low pressure areas have cold cores in summer ??

[StLuke]

Any further news from Shoebury guys and girls? Radar says should be fairly heavy!
