[Paul Sherman]

Temp : -0.2c

[southbank]

looking at the NNM for next 36 hrs , defo threat of small dusting SE , usual fav spots , but may also reach greater London ,

RE Thames streamer would love a surprise one to fire up a la Jan 2004 that even gave an inch or so here in central london during the morning , although signs at the moment doesnt look we get on going , but could be wrong

Come to me!: D

fantastic image look at the specally clouds forming. great shower clouds bring it on!

[bobbydog]

What a great Satelite Picture - Shows where the Snowfields are under the clear skies!

Also just a note most Streamer situations happen when showers form typically 25-75 miles offshore and NOT From convective showers from Holland.

There are also going to be some serious Icicles knocking around tomorrow morning!

hi paul, we're obviously not going to get streamers from holland but those showers are forming over the sea. what's the chances of some forming off our coasts?

The only obvious ones are the lack of Trigger and lack of Unstable Air. There are about the same number of positives as there is negatives.

Wind Direction is Spot on from 9pm tonight until 9am Wednesday.

Temperatures and Dewpoints look perfect.

Upper's are do-able

But

Cape is Non Existent!

There is No Trigger!

Seems a long shot, but there is some instability further out so you never know and I would not discount it completely!

- GFS Snow Type thingy also shows Precip allingned into the Streamer Position but I do not trust those at all

That was 8th Jan 2003. Great event. 4/5 inches in NE London/SW Essex from that.

if you look over germany looks like a lot light showers could be heading uk way to-night plus temp in places could drop to -15

[craigore]

official ice day, temp never rose above -0.8 and has fallen in the last half hour to -1.6, still sunny on coast wth jst a few cotton wool bits,looking for a kent clipper tonight ,would settle for a couple of cm to top up the frozen snow we have already

Interesting development in past 30 minutes watching that loop on that radar link here

[Sunny Kent]

Won't that cloud that is developing simply raise the temperature again as cloud generally seems to? Or at least prevent the 'super cold'.

[Mike Storm]

temps here - 0.2c dp -6 c wind average 5.4 knots form ENE Sunny blue skys at the moment

[Helvellyn]

Going to be a cold one tonight!

[NO LONGER POSTING]

The cold is going to be the main thing tonight...It is just going to plummet...

[steveh19]

I cant believe how close we in Worthing are to that snow line, lol.

[john mac]

Wow!!

temps dropped dramatically in the last 20mins from +0.3c to -0.8c

dewpoints taken a dive to -6c

wind chill -5c

Come to me!: D

interesting deveopment looks like some more shower clouds forming in the north sea a little closer to us.

Fingers crossed could be some decent convection later

[warrenb]

Temp here is the last 45 minutes has gone from +0.6C to -0.2C

[SMU]

Temps are reacting to the bitter surface feed coming off the frozen continent-

just shows give the right conditions- even in bright sunshine & NO snowcover we can get sub zero maxima-

[warrenb]

Yes, well I am getting all the windows in our house replaced tomorrow, so it is going to be a tad chilly.

Steve

what are your thoughts for convection or a streamer set up tonight?

[NO LONGER POSTING]

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

Cold but bright in the southeast with hard overnight frosts. Milder and wetter towards the northwest and these conditions spreading southeast at times, bringing a risk of snow for some.

Updated: 1519 on Tue 7 Feb 2012 This looks to me...Another front pushing in..Cold hanging on in the south east ...Round 2?

[Coast]

I'm not expecting any flurries tonight to get too far inland, maybe the tip of Kent or Essex unless some convection gets going. Chances still for later in the week though - fingers crossed!
