Still early days and a shortwave could very easy scupper any pure easterly flow, thougheither way it looks like we are heading towards the freezer and easily the coldest week since the last week of December 2010.

IF thwe ECM came off, expect very snowy conditions, indeed the model produces siome decent showers for the Thames Esturary and north Kent in particular between 144-168hrs and the models do tend to big time underdo things.

So for now, I'd suggest looking forward to the return of night time frosts...and then who knows!!

[willinkent]

It's still raining here.... By looks of radar its a streamer..... But temp has risen and dew point..... Not that cold for being this far east.....

showers seem to be pepping up tonight

this is what we want to see with a stiff easterly wind

shame its not a bit colder but showers seem to be

brewing off the north sea

[lewis028]

Evening all, maybe some radar watching tomorrow night into Monday and the fun begins, let's hope we can pull off a great end to a miserable winter so far..

[Team Jo]

I am not sure we'll see much more that a bit of a sprinkle this neck of the woods for the next couple of days, but I am patient enough to wait to the latter part of the week, which at present, looks a little more promising. After the last couple of weeks model watching it's really good to see at least a little snipette of cold.

Anyone else have husbands/boyfriends/wives/children/co-wokers sick to death of you talking about snow for the last three months?

Sleet showing across parts of mid-Kent on the radar at the moment - can anyone verify?

fax chart for 120 is out

http://nwstatic.co.uk/fax/PPVO89.png

the 528 dam line across virtually the whole of the uk

the block have moved much further west

look at the 510 dam line approaching with a small front to our east

this is a proper easterly

i would not rule out potential streamers from that chart

[john pike]

hello rob

your going to have fun where you are

[Jimmyh]

oh my london south east where is yamkin

[john pike]

do not worry yamkin will appear soon

[snowbob]

Tell me about it bruv everytime it's marginal we get burried

[Great Plum]

He's probably snowed in already!

[Jayces]

Yeah TeamJollie, my wife is sick of me talking about the snow, my kids however are looking forward to it!

Jimmyh, Yamkin is no doubt on the phone ordering snow ploughs for Croydon as gritters won't be able to get out!

[msx999]

Why are people saying it will be as cold as Dec 2010 later in the week when back then the uppers were around -10, and this time around a lot lower (I know to expect some downgrades down the line), so surely we will see a lot colder conditions. Just wondering.

Can't wait for Wednesday, when it will be madness in here, and clicking refresh every minute gets you about 20 new posts,

[Biggin]

Everyone excited yet- I will be joining this area from Sunday night onwards...

regards

Steve

fingers Crossed!!!!

Look forward to it Steve

[snowbob]

I'm actually wondering how Croydon council are gonna deal with this

They didn't do that well with the feb 09 streamer

[lottiekent]

I don't think any council ever does well with snowfall do they? Never any good round this way!

[Great Plum]

I know Surrey have bought a load of new gritters / ploughs and have been itching to use them!
