Has the warm sector moved John ?

[dubmuffin]

The really heavy snowfall I remember also around 3 or so years ago - Ewell Road was completely snowed-up and it was like the whole road got cosier with everyone out walking:) Still hoping, but it feels rather against hope right now!

Of course that was from a Thames Streamer which we don't have now:(

We might still get one this week, then we can all go out and talk to our neighbours:)

[Weathizard]

Mild sector is at exactly the WRONG time for the area south of London tomorrow. Much better run for back edge snow though. Whether we'll have any precip around at that point is another question

[scrat]

Anyone from Bromley on the forum? I understand it's snowing there as I type.

I'm up the road in Biggin Hill and there is no snow here....yet!

[A Wintry Mix]

is it heading towards west sussex?

Dont think so,but its nothing to write home about.

What's up jp

This thread is full of fantastic forecasters who know what there talking about

They back every comment up with informative charts and evidence of there statements

Not to mention the vigorous lengths they go to, to produce the fax charts every night since September.

Not forgetting the fact that they took the time to answer everyone's questions in this thread

You really shouldn't get the hump mate

Sorry mods but it had to be said

Cheers jp

[Jezzer]

Hear hear abruzzi spur well said!

[PrettyYellow]

East Londoners when do you predict snow â„

I don't know...I think we might get something over the next few days but I'm not going to stress...we'll just have to wait and see, I suppose...

[Lampostwatcher]

Snowing

[john pike]

JP, I warned you last night about the warm sector in the heatwave! How are you doing my friend? Lots of cold stuff in the week ahead I think?

hi abru

i will do an update

but very late

[Col Berkshire]

Thats a myth. Once dew points and temperatures drop it'll settle whether the ground is wet or not. I've seen snow settling on puddles before

Agreed, but there will be limited precipitation left to settle by the time the 850s are cold enough for snow. That is what I was referring to lol

[Mark Neal.]

From your most western regioner i give you news of very small flakes falling from the sky here in East Oxford.

How do you know that already though Col ??

If the Low grinds to a halt in the Southern North Sea the precip area will pivot, we dont know yet

a, wether the Low will get stuck

b, How much precip will be on the Northern Flank!

[london-snow]

Hmm eye spy with my little net weather radar eye.....

A band of heavy ppn west of Gloucestershire heading sw. Interesting to watch over the next few hours.

[Tilly]

Get ready for the stupid question but....

If the blob is an anaprop why is it snowing in herne bay which under said blob?

good question. I was wondering this!

[Southender]

Snow line tomorrow afternoon/eve looks to be N.Essex north. So EA basically. Perhaps a dusting further south. Could all change though. Its pure luck what we get in our back yards.

[dubmuffin]

I hope it does stall and / or produce a wrap around. I'm just going by the latest model guidance

Snow proper!

Also same in saltwood

Just said 'YAY WE GOT SNOW!!!'

[Sussex Jules]

Like I have said before we need to set up a John Pike fan club. What would we do without his nightly forecasts. He caters for multiple learning methods with text and pictures and gives an honest description of what we can expect. Others could maybe learn from his teaching method and evidence he provides.

Stopped in Minster.

[Tilly]
