Whatever happens tonight, enjoy it, as the northerly for next week seems to be degrading with every run...not that northerlies are any good for us down here anyway!

[Anthonyb]

So basically no one has a scooby doo what is happening as the radar is giving false returns!!

Yep of all the days for the Radar to give false returns it's "Today"

The real ppn seems to start up near the wash

I think its all down to staring intently at our lamp posts and willing it to snow after dark!!!

Well people in Suffolk are saying it's bone dry even though the radar shows them under PPN.

[Southender]

That awkward moment, when your under the PPN on the radar and nothing is falling!!

[danm]

Alex Deakin on the BBC just said no more than a few flakes for London and East Anglia. Will be very interesting to see how accurate that turns out to be.

[yamkin]

An alert has been issued to Croydon Council by the MetO for heavy snow this late afternoon/evening :help:

Why would they even mention a few flakes?

[Anthonyb]

According to the radar there should be very light snow falling in Kent now.... Lol

:rofl: Yamkin even for you this is baffling :rofl:

Croydon has not been re-located in the last hour up the M40 ?

I don't buy into the idea that today the precip is evaporating due to the Dp's only being around -2 to -3c. I think it is a radar error, but the band is now starting to swing SSW, London West and Western parts of the Northern Home Counties still favoured for a few centimetres.
