Is this a Thames streamer about to form lurking off the Thames Estuary? Looks possible.

Looking at the radar, this front seems to be coming NWN not NW.

EDIT: NNW doh

Nothing to report as yet!

[Floatylight]

I'm all agog!!

steady girl lol xx

[masked_firefly]

If its all making it down to the surface, then should be within the next 30-45 mins, as long as it continues on its current track

SK

Thank you . Nothing at the mo

[BLUNT]

Which side of Ipswich are you? is this Radar correct? no reports yet from it

[WheresTheSnow]

It looks like it is going to hit me too, as long as it doesnt suddenly decide to fizzle out. Could we get 1 or 2cm out of this, or not even that, 0.5cm? Haha.

Edit - not too sure its going to reach me actually, looking at the radar again.

Front edge of the precipitation band has just moved over my house according to the radar and..............

Nothing outside, yet

I'm all agog!!

I'll see your gog and raise you a flabber

[BLUNT]

Becareful of the flying pink Blobs over your house

I'm actually Woodbridge side of Ipswich (although not actually in Woodbridge itself more inbetween the two)...

[suffolkboy_]

A few bits just passed over me according to the radar, yet nothing. The heavier echoes on the radar should make ground though I would have thought.

[cooling climate]

yes i am being invaded by blobs,north,s/e and west of me.

Starting to feel a bit giddy tbh

lol glad you spelt that correctly. Sorry I'll get me coat.

[Stuie]

Radar has potentially high precipitation for ye olde Ipswich folks. Would be good if it came off otherwise it lowers the faith with this tool.

Really that's bad then my boss said we will stop driving buses when we get 4 foot of snow lol

many years ago, when i lived in Rayleigh, in Essex, at the top of Crown Hill, a bus had skidded on ice and gone through railings at the front, then the back skidded into railings to the side and it couldn't get free.so i'm always a bit wary of buses in the snow and ice.

[BLUNT]

Crossing Felixstow now should be some heavier bits in this

[TheBigFreeze]

I think i'm going to give up on model watching and switch to window watching from the morning.......

[essex coast matt]

Got feeling a lot of it is not reaching the ground

[WheresTheSnow]

Whats that forming in the North Sea, will that make it inland ?

[snowking]

Got feeling a lot of it is not reaching the ground

Yep thats the issue with radars precip running into low dew points, makes it very difficult to estimate when the precip will fall! (at the surface at least)

As a rule of thumb, I usually wait until 30 mins after its showing on the radar

That hill is a nightmare.

From Rayleigh Station upto the High Street is a no go zone in the Snow, they even closed it on December 6th when we got 6cm of snow.

Net effect was all kids stuck on buses from schools in Rayleigh (Fitz and Sweyne) and my daughter phoning to say she was coming home!

[masked_firefly]

Unrelated to 'blob-gate'

Does anyone know why the sky appears to have an 'orange' glow when it snows?

[Floatylight]

we all watching with interest.

[SMU]

Heavy anaprops then....

A covering of around 2 anaprops looks likely- with shannon entrophy bird using her measuring jugs to check it .......
