If you warm weather..............

i take it this is bad news for snow??

[danm]

whats happening.....my weather station is reporting a temperature of 2.2c, positively balmy conditions

Youre on the coast. And i think there are slightly milder uppers coming over from the continent if im not mistaken.

[ilsewin]

Been snowing here since about 3pm, mostly light but there have been a few times it's been quite heavy.

Good for cold lovers.

[sco77harris]

forecasts seem to be upgrading well as suggesting more for monday onwards

[danm]

Interesting forecast on the Beeb. Showed more snow on Monday, and the low coming in from the SW on tuesday. Dan Corbett said at the moment looks like the cold air will win out, so that could mean snow for most rather than it turning to rain. Will have to watch that one

Can't believe how hard its coming down here now, at least another 2/3 cms added in the past 2 hours.

[Chris_19]

Could someone please inform me where the snow for tonight is coming from?

[Neilsouth]

Still dry well over an hr now

[wee]

well its snowing here and blowing all over the place,will have to wait and see what tonight brings,fingers crossed

[RJM]

Sleet and snow across the east of the region at first will become more widespread and lead to some fresh accumulations of snow developing in many areas overnight. There will also be a brisk, locally strong, very cold northeasterly wind. Minimum temperature -3 °C.

Met office hinting at possibility of sleet as well as snow which would support some slightly warmer air. How far inland you would have to be to guarantee snow and not sleet I don't know

[tomavenell]

Is the snow that is over the SE the snow that was forcast for tonight/tomorrow? i hope not!!

[Snowydays]

Still dry well over an hr now B)

No. There is a front moving up from France that will give us the snow this evening

[alan snow]

Not even a cm in Abbey Wood to add to the 2cm that's fallen throughout the whole week.

hi sf02 its probably because im in nuxley village being as your at sea level it is maybe half a degree warmer

[Neilsouth]

You have had a lot when you were having blizzard conditions I had nothing

Yes but if its dry here , it will be dry in some areas that have had very little snow B)

[chelsea01]

STILL SNOWING HEAVILY IN STROOD KENT.

[Jason H]

People need to slow down and read the posts. Steve M has explained that our Snow in the SE is convective and this will be enhanced by the upper warm front currently poised across the channel. The parts currently predicited to have the heaviest snow are NW Kent, NE Surrey and NE Sussex.

[ChartViewer]

Great conditions here in East London for snow tonight and tomorrow

Current conditions

Temp -1

DP -2

Wchill -6

Light snow right now

[Cableguy]

Where is this band of snow coming from? because i can't see any? the lot over the netherlands is heading towards EA not Kent. This is going to be a damp squid

B) that's just made me spit my wine all over the laptop......squid indeed!!!!

[cjwardy]

the snow appears to be moving SE'wards at the moment. Is this due to change?

[Jan_Bromley]
