London & The South East Regional Discussion - Part 7

[Shunter]

NW extra radar showing first snow "blips" appearing ahead of the front ( Bromley / Beckenham area )

[sarah7meme]

Frightened? LOL. You've got nothing to worry about. The snow will cover the whole country

But I want the MOST

[Shunter]

Seems to be a few light echoes around the Croydon area too ( yamkin ) !?

[msx999]

Some 50cm/hour supercells just north of aberdeen. Down here in W london all is clear, but expecting to see a flake imminently

[BucksSnow]

this isnt snow its basically rain :/

[Dorset_mist]

Hello all, ive just moved to Brookwood (semi rural village between Farnborough and Woking)...assuming my drive back up there at 8pm this evening from Poole in Dorset could be a slippery ride?

[MONKEYJAM]

Wow now snowing in Woking . Light but settling happy days ! Slowly getting bigger flakes, grass got a nice white look now

[Shunter]

main band has arrived in Ascot a good hour ahead of schedule. Next stop Woking

[Mike Storm]

Leading edge ....almost arrived at the M25, nr Heathrow.... I bet there happy... temp here -0.4 DP -4

[Feathers Mcgraw]

Just started snowing at Petworth Park. West Sussex

[NO LONGER POSTING]

first few flakes falling now! let the 12 hrs of snowfall begin

[JamesC]

Nothing as of yet in Guildford......

[Chris_19]

From the PPN currently showing on the radar, I can't see how some areas will get 15cm out of this! Is the PPN expected to increase in intensity as the night goes on?

Good luck everyone, could be a very exciting night ahead.

[MONKEYJAM]

Give it 10 min Guildford will see snow

[Flash Elvis]

But I want the MOST

Want Want Want...typical woman :rofl:

[Mikel Nimbus]

Temperature has been falling steadily here all afternoon down to 0.2 dp -2.7! Should start seeing small flakes within 45 mins around N/NW London.

[Mike Storm]

Ye I agree, apart from the larger bursts up north the PPN does not seem to be to heavy. You can follow the track backwards to the west and there is nothing heavy coming in our direction. Don't get me wrong I'm not moaning but unless this front literally stalls above us I can't see 15cm piling up.

First look at the flood light in the garden,nothing showing yet.GFS UKMO SHOWING ANOTHER EAST BLAST NEXT WEEK

[SMU]

Here we go then people-

its starting to drift in now-

Eyes down for a full house-

-1 -3c here perfect dry snow conditions = 1:15 lapse rates

Just an UPDATE on the outlook, there is a SIGNIFICNT shift in the models ( as forecast over the last few days) to an easterly that is mirroring the Feb 91 High pressure -

looks to be arriving weds ish-

So after the weekend a quietISH 2/3 days then the possibility of snow from the east-

Warmest day looks like mon/tues then back below freezing from the east-

Also IF the gfs 12z varifies anything close for the next 16 days- we will be looking at a -2C FEB CET

remember Wrap up warm & check on the elderly relatives..

re Guildford ^^ are you sure, look again

I'm about 5 miles east of Guildford. Nothing yet so I guess it must have missed me :<. There goes no snow for another winter!!!!

Slits wrists...

[snow raven]

I am so excited!! Not long to go now

[Shunter]

Echoes appearing all over South London now , first cells as far east as Swanley , think its mainly on the Downs

[danm]

Are you sure it's not just tiny flakes of snow? Very much doubt you're seeing rain!
