London & South East Cold Spell Discussion

[Kentish Kiwi]

the further west the band is travelling it seems to be decaying? not a good sign

Agree with you there, just hope it manages to keep it together enough to see something moderate at least for the time being. At least this is just the start and theirs plenty more to come that will hopefully be more intense...

Time to go shopping and stock up

Might be a good idea for Essex folk to take a break from radar watching for a few hours, nothing really making landfall yet.

sounds like a plan, my housework is shouting at me along with that ironing thats been ignored this last few days due to radar !!!

[StLuke]

Seriously this is like pulling teeth watching that bloody radar, the cloud cover is having one benefit however not allowing the sun at the snow on the ground a very steady -2.1 here, surely only a matter of time?

hello all

new member.

Im in colchester essex and have about 4inches of snow.

the snow getting close no me now.

bbc forecast now saying no snow for the south on sunday now!

I will just stick to netweather and nowcasting.

was working in clacton on friday and what a diffrence in snow levels, wow.

Clacton had much more.

[Nick F]

Feels like it's set in for the afternoon, grey skies with continual light snow. Very bright out there with the snow blanket, need my shades!

[Updraft]

Dont be to concerned- the feeder bands are now getting into Eastern Essex- & growing in intensity- 12:20 -- 12:25 radar looks reasonable to me-

Nothing here yet and it continues to decay as it pushes ever so slowly westwards. Starting to get frustrated hopefully my fortunes will increase later on in the day.

[Snow Cat]

INCOMING!!

Heavy snow

BINGO!

[Noctilucid]

Good afternoon from Romford land.

Its all gone very grey here, broken stratus overhead moving from the East rapidly, the band is taking oh so long to get here, we've already had a few snow showers this morning.

The gulls have also come in land and are going mad, always a sign of approaching bad weather.

What the hell is going on here. Showers disappearing as soon as they hit Southend. I hope this NE wind is not sheering the showers away.

[desperately seeking]

That b***** snow line is never actually making it to SE London - so close I can touch it but no snow. This is somewhat irksome.

Looking for obvious distractions to take the mind off this weather....

I've been staring so intently at my computer screen for so long hoping for good news for Medway, that by the time we actually get any snow, I think I'll probably be too blind to see it

What's Herne Bay like at the mo - hubby is due to play a gig there tomorrow and wants to cancel with enough notice if it is bad - any locals on who can tell me current conditions there and forecast for tomorrow?

Cheers guys!

[Great Plum]

Is this snow ever going to make it as west as Reigate? We've had a couple of flurries today but nothing like the good people of Kent!

Looks more like Bambi over East Kent!

[k66yla]

Just had another heavyish shower here, not long finished work, just glad the buses are still running as I did'nt fancy a long walk home. Have'nt got a ruler but I reckon there must be at least 5/6 inches laying in the garden.

[Glideslope]

.... ..... perhaps not..!

[mesocyclone]

Looks like i maybe waiting longer than some for this next round. Fun watching the wind pick up and the roads get covered again with all the snow we have already. Looks like everyone will be happy by the end of this weekend.

Skies slowly clouding over here with a very similar look to Tue midday which may be a good sign.

[Chris_19]

I have 5cm's altogether and this band keeps decaying the further west it travels. I think i am going to give up.

[thegreat316]

for people like me waiting for this band to move west i think it has started to move west once again, after stalling for the last hour, increasing cloud cover here in easten side of west sussex.

[essex coast matt]

modarate snow now, more coming in from the east too

Not all of Kent, mainly seems to be Central and Eastern areas. Here in the west most has decayed before it reaches us, this NE wind is really annoying!

Haha, good work mate!

Where's these showers?
