Ok thanks, I just quickly browsed the MOD thread. Same old really, can't make sense of anything through conflicting posts.

I see the MOD thread is on a downer again for some reason, only the other day/ yesterday maybe, were those 70's charts showing and folk were very upbeat.

That is what is termed, reading too much into one set of runs syndrome.

Try not to worry, just stick to the more seasoned posters or leave the interpretations of what is come, by following Ben Camb, JP et. al from within this very regional.

Less than a week to go till the South East and East Anglia festive meet up and there's a chance for some back edge snow for the occasion...

that would be cool wouldn't it? - starts off raining then turns to snow, shame I can't come along to witness the glee on everyones faces (-:

Interesting week of weather coming up - room for plenty of Surprises

Here is my "ramp" for tonight..Lots and lots of excitement, disagreements and questions...

Of course..Yellow sleet..Pink snow..

[john pike]

these do look cold

some very cold ensembles on there

the only word of caution

there is a spread of about 8 degrees on the 7th

i think tomorrow will give a better idea where the pattern is going

Hi Surrey

Could you post a link to that radar, is it free ?

Thanks

[NO LONGER POSTING]

Not my phone Pulled it off twitter and I think it is the weathercast app quite a good app tbh

I noticed that too

-0.2 °C here at the moment, there are still patches of last nights frost on my front path - I'd be happy to be in the pink bit or even the yellow tonight.... I'm going out later and I've decided to wear my new faux fur gilet to keep me warm

getting closer

i think people to the south and west of london will see rain( too warm )

very far part of kent and anglia could see some snow turning to rain

just my guess

Still having problems with raintoday, is any one having issues with the site?

Matt Taylor just went out to Wednesday and snow graphics were showing across most of the region.

I'll take that, thank you very much :-)

He did say only light snow, but who cares... It's SNOW

Yes a pressure rise over Iceland/Greenland look to be the form horse at the moment, from there it shifts to Scandinavia and becomes

a more solid blocking feature.

If you look to the east on that chart you can see the beast, two eyes and mouth ready to gobble us up

Excellent John.

I just read Meto forecast on website out to Dec 16th - mentioning milder interludes for the south and west late in the period, could this be from potential channel lows or Atlantic battles?

Either way, I hate seeing the word 'Mild' in there

:-(

[crazysnowcatz4]

I think we could have an interesting few hours tonight, my weather station is registering -3.4 in Canterbury, Metoffice predict +1 for this time.

So either the warm moist air is taking longer to arrive, or it is going to arrive on time with much colder air in front.

Now unless I am mistaken colder air is denser and thus harder to shift out the way, this could well extend the battle ground time.

As I said , could be wrong but I think a sleety or even snowy mix could occur in the early hours.

[john pike]

192 from ecm

if we see milder i am not sure from where at present

By the end of the run we should see pressure build over scandi, then the link up.

Well I've got my sceptical hat on in regards to snow.

I'd rather it snow hard enough to leave a couple of feet and give me days off work than snow only a little bit meaning I have to go to work in absolute chaos that a mm of snow brings.

[Dexter29]

So who just saw the country file weather?

Snow wise, Wednesday looks good. He said no accumulating snow though, as falling in the middle of the day!

[Eskimo]

Nabbed this off Wunderground for my location.

Overcast with a chance of snow and rain after midnight. Low of 0C (-1C at the moment). Breezy. Winds from the SSW at 10 to 25 km/h. Chance of snow 60%.

Lauren you live in the UK. Welcome any kind of snow be it a couple of feet or mm... :-)

You want a couple of feet? Move to norilsk in Russia.

TBH, the runs don't really bother me...The weather does, though!
