The anticipation is killing me!!

?? ..... Ive been on Hastings seafront since 10.30 this morning till 2pm this afternoon and there was no snow at all in that time, not even one flake. Just got back via the Firehills though and there were about 3 tiny dots of sleet in the air for 2 minutes. What part of Hastings did you get snow Ololly ??

There has been a few very light snow flurries in the air over this way for the last hour or so, but I only noticed that when I briefly went outside to the garden with my cat in tow. To the average person (who isn't a snow fanatic like some of us ) they probably would't have seen it. However Shadow (my cat) keeps sniffing the air and nodding wisely. He knows what this week might bring you know..

Just had a very light snow flurry in Hailsham. As others have said feels noticeably colder. Can't quite understand the eagerness of some to write off prospects for this week given what's currently projected and I suspect they'll be some further upgrades literally a matter of hours before any snow falls, especially Tuesday to Thursday which looks full of potential IMHO.

Yes, always a nightmare with systems from the North West and their associated warm sectors, looking forward to the Convective Showers next week!

and remember people thats the idle wind direction for the perfect streamer to form on.

[Mike Storm]

Was snowing about two hours ago just south of maidstone for an hour on and off 3/10 intensity

[Southender]

Watch the 12z output stick us back in the game. Then the 18z to snatch it away again!

Thats about the sum of it with regards to tomorrow, at the moment.

Pure "nowcast" situation!

You see, Metcheck ( I know, not the most reliable of sources) have the line of snow from Scotland, right through London into Kent a&e being Hugh risk for heavy and persistent snow - 15 cms.

Sorry, just noticed some errors in my post. I don't mean a&e or Hugh ( I mean high).

Ooh, really? Actually, it's become cloudy here again. That's changed quickly as there was blue sky around 40 mins ago. Something brewing perhaps?

The following has also been sent to Croydon Council as well

South East England 90% Icy conditions and low temperatures throughout. Snow accumulations expected from Sunday evening, through Monday and Tuesday with snow showers later. Strengthening winds later exacerbating the cold feel.

London 90% Icy conditions and low temperatures throughout. Snow accumulations expected Monday and Tuesday with snow showers later. Strengthening winds later exacerbating the cold feel.

Nothing on the radar, but I agree its certainly got dark.

[yamkin]

Due to the latest bulletin from the MetO, Croydon Council will have a fleet of gritters treating A & B roads from 16:00 hrs today. Main walk ways/pavements will also be treated. Shift teams will also be in place.

Ive been window watching all day and not even a snow flake yet,

[Bluebreezer54]

Found this weather station near to me in Bexhill. Dont no how accurate it is

http://willowsweathe...splay-live.html

Looks about right Stephen for Bexhill/St Leonards/Hastings area at the time.

[Whereisthesnow?]

Definitely darker clouds here - but as you said nothing on the radar. Was a lot colder here earlier as well. It's going to be an afternoon of on and off the forum whilst peeping out of the window periodically.

[lawrenk]

Slightly heavier snow grains now coming from leaden grey skies. Snow shovels not yet required.

Because the PPN is over Wales and the North West at the moment. Won't make it SE/London till midnight onwards, could accumulate till a couple CM's over night should it not fizzle out over night.

The band following behind should be more interesting.

Rather chilly still waiting for a few flakes from that grey sky

[Sussex Jules]

I can't believe how many downbeat posts are on here today and sniping at each other. Jeez it's only snow.

Seems to have fizzled out now but has anyone seen that big lump off the dutch coast? Could be interesting!
