London & The South East Regional Discussion - Part 7

[SMU]

here s my snowfall scale for tonights commentary

12 levels-

0- Nothing / Nada / just curtain dust + flies around the outside light

1- Odd pellet here & there- however we can mentally confirm there are 'flakes'

2- visible light snow falling- not visible to the lampost yet ( unless you stand underneath & obscure the light)

3- flurry level- makes light blue on the radar & a few flakes seen across the lampost

4- we can confirm snow falling without staring at the light- Can confirm to friends & loved ones its snowing via text etc

5- Status 2- moderate flurry, its fine snow at the moment still- it looks quite hard in terms of snow falling however its not amounting to anything

6- proper flakes falling- you will see them now- the odd flake mixed in with the moderate fine snow

7- transition to normal flakes all complete- moderate snow outside

8- 20p flakes going at a steady pace now- accumulating around 0.5cm - 1cm per hour

9- heavy 20p Snow - visibly accumulating + 1cm per hour

10- entry level heavy snow arriving- 50p flakes fluttering in the 20p flakes.. awaiting the beast...

11- 50p flakes nearly transitioned over- we can call it heavy settling snow 2cm ++ per hour

12- Very heavy snow inch per hour all 50p flakes

13- Blizzard- combined with +40 MPH wind-

[Mike Storm]

radar doesnt really lie... but the very light stuff might not be making it too the ground....

[Damp and dreary]

Surely that means it is on our way to us in BN1 & BN1 then! Time to do a lil snow dance girls!

I could pop a lil skirt on and do a sexy jig? may help?

[Paul Sherman]

Holding Steady here at

Temp : -1c

Dewp : -6c

Incredible!

Going out on a limb and if Thur & Friday come off then the fabled Thundersnow could make an appearance, no chance of that tonight along an occluding frontal boundary though!

[A.J]

We've had 10cm of snow here in the West Midlands this afternoon, and it's still hammering down with the stuff, and the good news is that it is all coming your way!

[95 Degrees]

Definately looking more sleety now but light dusting remains, and to be honest i'm happy enough, even if it turns to rain or doesn't stick anymore, I've gotten snow with a light accumulation, which is a good start and good enough for me, and it's not like things will turn very mild again next week, there could be more events to come!

[riki]

Light dusting in Hornchurch now, just enough to cover car windscreens.

[Sno' problem]

Please don't worry all those to the East of London!! It is snowing AND settling here, so it is just a matter of time!

[jogoget]

Briiiiing it on!!!!

Sounds good! I've only ever experienced proper thunder snow 8 or so years ago when that cold front moved south. Plus in those days I was Essex Snow, lol.

[danm]

Snow steadily getting heavier, everywhere is white!

Roughly agrees with me. Says temp going up approx 0.5 Deg per hour.

Funny how nobody else is reporting that. Many saying temps dropping.

Certainly not here!

[SnowBorder]

Still nothing here, it's not even that cloudy. It's completely missing us.

[WinterSnow]

just started in Gravesend!

Good good, should reach me soon then

[TheGate]

Up in north downs, near biggin hill. We have had some small lying snow since Tuesday, and now it's coming down. Temp -2c. Are we in a good place? (160-180m asl)

[honey*]

Let our powers combine to destroy this creation of evil!

well this at least made me laugh!!!
