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

Mmmm not so sure Saint, Check out what Ian Fergusson has to say on Southwest Thread.

[Robbo SBFC]

Live on the outskirts of Stevenage and nothing here. No friends in Stevenage have mentioned it.

[lottiekent]

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.

Sounds good to me, certainly cold enough to lay now at least. What fell from the sky today never stuck at all.

-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

Quite literally at least it's not a Thames Steamer (sic)

[Me & angel fiance]

am in stevenage and looked out myself a little while ago and nothing but icy temps and thick fog still.

[chilly milly]

some precip over Herts at the moment, Have you guys got anything ?

There is nothing falling out of the skies here.

[snowray]

Brighton and the area just north towards the South Downs should be seeing some of this PPN now moving north from the coast, acording to the RADAR that is.

[Marie]

Nothing here

[chionomaniac]

Brighton and the area just north towards the South Downs should be seeing some of this PPN now moving north from the coast, acording to the RADAR that is.

I think that that could be fog related. The flurries are still out in the channel. They would only brush the coastal strip and that may be later in the night.

[chilly milly]

Well we have hit -3c here now. So on that note I will retire to bed. Nite nite one and all.

[Marie]

No fog here it's a clear as crystal I can see the stars,I am right next to the South Downs .

[diddy1234]

here in stevenage not snowing but the frozen fog feels like its snowing (tingling) on the hands from the frozen ice crystals. stupidly cold out there

[sarah7meme]

Snow stuck in lyminge this morning -some pavements still got snow dusting on

[lottiekent]

The sleet and snow flurries today left the ground wet...it's now -1.6c so going to be icy in the morning if nothing else!

[chmape]

nothing falling where i am and no fog temp is -2.2 and falling

[Ice Day]

A rather chilly -3.5 here. Nothing falling from the sky, just foggy

[EastMallingPilgrim]

Temps stayed just above freezing right across south east London today. Pavements remained white from Biggin Hill to Woolwich (in places). Lots of black ice around Biggin Hill. Dense fog descended after six, the A20 between sidcup and the M25 particularly low visibility.

Currently below freezing in Bromley.

[Essex Chelle]

Just in from work car reading -4 very foggy but didn't have to scrape car window which I was expecting

[Great Plum]

-4.6c at Charlwood at 10pm... I went outside to switch off the Christmas lights... Everything is coated in thick frost!

[Canalboy]

-3.1C here on the Havering / Essex border. Time for a vintage port and The Alan Parsons Project.

[snowking]

Very light snizzle here

-4c, dew -5c

[snowray]

Seems the radar cannot be trusted tonight, throwing up all sorts of what should be showers or Fog flurries, but we have no reports so who can say whats going on....GFS 18z showing some patchy PPN for tomorrow morning, very light stuff though.

Sounds good to me, Turn of a Friendly Card is my favourite!

Dense fog as well as frost here.

Last time I remember sustained freezing fog like this with snizzle in toe was 09/10 when I was in Cheltenham, must have been about 4 days without it lifting (we actually drove up into the cotswolds to get up above and away from it for an hour or so!) but the interesting thing was that when it finally slowly lifted, it gave a few hours of light-moderate snowfall...I would suspect we may see similar tomorrow - it occurs because rather than the fog disappearing, it lifts slowly into low cloud, and condenses.

That little precipitation area that been showing tomorrow on recent outputs seems to co-incide with the back edge of the fog

[If Wishes made Weather]

Looking at the data from our nearest Met Office station (Andrewsfield) we just managed an ice day here. Andrewsfield in any event is a little warmer than Stortford which is in a little valley. Currently circa -4.
