London & The South East Regional Discussion - Part 7

[PrettyYellow]

Is it me, or is the snow in London glittering some how? It's like glitter is falling from the sky instead of snow lol

[Jason M]

ALERT!!!!!!!!!

I can confirm that the Basildon snow shield has failed :excl:

First few tiny flakes spotted falling a couple of mins ago!!

Jason

[Met4Cast]

Dew Point has dropped to -6c here again!

[Weathizard]

Got a sleety mess here in Brighton at the moe, will it change?

[Lampostwatcher]

moderate snow now and a ruler depth of 1.7cm

[Buckster76]

anyone else got a ladder ready when we can't use our front/backdoors ?

[warrenb]

SnowCon 0 here, the moon is coming out.

[tilburytornado]

Lampost in east tilbury, thurrock says snow......

albeit very light

[jackie]

Good good, should reach me soon then

same ! still waiting

[abruzzi spur]

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-

Steve

we are currently level 5..

Drawing on the spirit of Spinal Tap - my scale goes up to 14. Same amount of snow as 13, just goes up to 14.

[stun12]

Stalling to the W/NW of here. Still at -0.7C, 62% humidity, -8C DP

Not sure if that means we are going to be right under the battleground or will stay cold instead. Hastings and east of there still not on the map, though the light pink stuff doesn't seem to do too much...

[steveinsussex]

Poxy light snow for an hour now, please pick up....

[Mike Storm]

using Steves guide i would say 4 at the mo.....

[HighPressure]

Impossible its snowing 500yrds up the rd go look outside

[caggs]

very light snow in horley now,is that it or is it just teasing us???

[abovefreezing]

SnowCon 0 here, the moon is coming out.

WTF? radar shows you in the thick of it (the pink stuff)

Is Yamkin running the radar on raintoday.com ????????????????/ heh

[EML Network]

I think were slowly loosing this snow / rain fight here, it's still falling, and settling, but it's not really adding to the light dusting we have, it's a kinda stale mate situation here at the moment, it's falling, but the dew point (now at +0.2) and rising temperature (2.0) is making it melt as soon as it lands (I think), early days though , I still think I'll wake up to a decent covering

[tilburytornado]
