Well come to Brighton MAF and dry yourself off as its nice and dry here,i just want some SNOWWWWWWWWWWW.That is wishfull thinking i know but at least i can dream lol.

Heavy rain now turning to snow here which is quite suprising with a temp of 2.1c and DP at 2.0c

This is quite bizarre. With the above temps/dp's I was getting heavy snow. Since then the temp has fallen to 0.8c. DP 0.7c and its raining.

too long a way to come and dry off, although the offer is most welcome seeing as i would rather be anywhere other than work tonight

[Sno' problem]

proper snow now, temp 1.5, won't be too long untill it settles!

Is it still snowing there BB?

It has been heavy rain here all day, and the temp has actually gone up here in the past half hour, up to approx 4ºc (don't have a proper weather station, so am relying on an old style mercury one that is close to my kitchen window) so it looks very marginal, with those at the Northern end of the ppn seeing the lowest temps right now, but if it snowing in Barnet, then it is getting closer!

Sno. Its strange to say the least. At 2.0c/ DP 2.1 it was snowing heavily, now at 1.0c/DP 0.9c its raining. Cant work it out at all.

Sleet now in Stevenage with Temp of 1.7c. BBC still going with the main snow risk to the midlands. I just cant see that the front is moving at all . I think the have underestimated how long it will stay on its current path not pivoting NW until tommorow morning. Could be a white commute for some!

[Weathizard]

6C here, no chance of snow.

[yamkin]

Been raining here all day and the temp is currently 4C

According to GFS 18Z 6h, parts of the SE will have wintry showers.

[wintrywend]

I keep checking the lamp post hoping, but still heavy rain here.

I was very surprised when the MetO decided to have a warning out for your area. They have now taken it off. What a surprise :unsure:

[mesocyclone]

Also keep checking, big flakes in the heavier bursts but never fully turning. The difference a few degrees would make, been heavy rain all day nearly, would of been an awsome dump!

Well there is a surprise lol,nice dry night for me i think,its not that cold either.Early to bed for me tonight as there is no lampost watching for me tonight

Na most of it will die out as it hits the Midlands

Main snow risk about 40 miles south of the Midland Ambrosden/Bicester area 2c at present cloudy but dry

Lol,i wish that would be the headlines tomorrow,no hope though.But if there was a chance of snow it would lay as its nice and dry on the ground but really not cold enough air temps,well thats what i think.If anyone thinks different then let me know lol

Meto have revised the warnings. all of East anglia nd East mids have been removed, they now rekon West mids and NW England will get the snow, this is in line with the latest NAE. Doesn't make sense to me looking at the radar but they are the experts! Oh well always plent more marginal snow events in the next 7 days! I'm sure we will get lucky eventualy

Sadly your right the NAE shows this band moving NW, will be dry for us on the coast tonight.

over the next few days theres a number of different fronts moving in/out of our region which could provide a few snow events for some parts of the south east

[yamkin]

The following 850hpa temp in parts of the SE around 0100 hrs will be -4C according to the COAMPS chart.

Now I can see why GFS 18Z 6h is showing wintry showers.

I am watching the sadest programme on bbc 1 and it has just made me realise that we are all worried about the weather or excited what is going to happen,it just brings it all home that really we are all lucky and who cares what the weather does when there is familys going through this,sorry but this has really got to me .

[yamkin]

Here are the following possible snow events from the GFS 18Z

Bless you. I know exactly what you mean, I get affected too by programmes and even films can really get to me sometimes.

The front is pivoting at the moment if you look at the radar its lined more N-S then it was earlier today. Thats why it looks like its staying static. Will be interesting to see just how far NW it goes, I think it may be a little overdone as well myself but we shall see!
