Hello again net weather. How I missed you. xxxx

-2.3c here with freezing fog.

[Dean E]

Yes I saw that Liam posted that on twitter..

Lots to change yet but I can't see the Atlantic attack lasting very long... Our high to our easts is 7k miles wide apparently...

Indeed, spreading across the whole of Russian and Eastern Europe. Its a massive high thats putting up quite a fight!

TBH the models have not got a grip on things yet..And I still think Fridays low will be played down even more.

Tonight tomorrow and Thursday I think a light dusting is possible in some places if those showers can get themselves going and push inland

Something falling out of the sky here in Dratford and making the pavement white.....

Was going to post this earlier, but then the forum went offline. Just a quick look using the models for the week ahead:

Remaining cold over the next couple of days, temperatures struggling tomorrow and some areas may even have another ice day tomorrow. Into Thursday, some wintry precipitation possible for areas south of London. Remaining cold, but the colder weather will be broken down during Thursday night into Friday as fronts delivering rain and some gusty winds pass through, leading to much milder conditions than of late.

Our weather will be dominated from a big area of LP in the mid-Atlantic as we head into the new week. However, it will struggle to get any further past the UK due to the huge block of HP over Russia, as demonstrated by the UKMO 12z T+96 through to T+144:

T+96: http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/Rukm961.gif

T+120: http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/Rukm1201.gif

T+144: http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/Rukm1441.gif

Consequently, after our current cold weather breaks down on Friday, temperatures are likely to remain around average for the time of year, or even still slightly below:

Going out to around this time next week, I'd be confident of unsettled weather controlling our weather, however nothing too mild temperature wise, particularly after Saturday. Some longer spells of rain are likely aswell as some showers, with the risk of frost at night during clearer spells of weather. However, the wind is also likely to be a big factor in the weather and remaining breezy throughout at least.

Currently -3.2C with thick fog here.

OMG Bradford are beating Arsenal 1-0

[john pike]

Hi ben

Similar thoughts as well

I expect the low to go through. Hit our block then head north west pulling the easterly towards us

Seems some homegrown stuff maybe showing on radar unless its fog

[colboy]

-1c here in Sidcup ( A20) and the fog has come down quite thick. Even the dog won't go out in the garden to do her business. Oh S**t

[Lauren]

Only -2 here, but feels about -7.

The air outside is so icy it's painful.

[Mark Neal.]

-3.4c here. Thick freezing fog and we have had a hoar frost it seems. A covering on paths etc....

Very cold drive home from Tunbridge wells via A21 > M25 > M23 -2 recorded near tunbridge wells on dash and -3 near crawley.

Saw wierdest fog, was hanging over the M23, but ahead was clear, all the car headlights were illuminating it underneath making it look very spooky.

to remind people who do not know the M25 between just before Clackett Lane services all the way to the M26/A21 junction now has 50MPh limit until 2014 for major roadworks enforced by average speed cameras!! (and judging by fact average speed cameras poles have been popping up all the way to the M23 the roadworks will extend all the way at some point.

Just a little heads up.

The orientation of the pressure is changing overnight and there could be a slight onshore NW breeze setting up for those on the south coast. Possibility remains with this of snow flurries. Current radar shows some out in the Channel, but the wind is just not favourable yet.

Not here mate.

[Methuselah]

Maybe dense fog can produce false readings?

[shotski]

Lots on the radar over Stevenage etc ? maybe its just thick fog www.raintoday.co.uk

[saint]

I'd suggest that it's just fog showing up...
