London & South East Regional Discussion - January 14th 2013>

[Met4Cast]

I'm still here if I count lol just gonna pass some matchsticks around

I stocked up on energy drinks a few days ago, I knew I'd probably be pulling a few all nighters.. to see some snow.. anyone would think we're mad!

[alexisj9]

Does the cheshire gap streamer ever get as far southeast as here?

[Sno' problem]

We are!

[london-snow]

Are we the only three still up? That's real dedication

I might pop up to the roof at work soon to see what's occuring

Yep we must be mad mate all this tiredness just to see the first flake of winter.

For those about earlier on when i was having a rant over prospects i am sorry. However it is hard to accept the small mild sector when others around you enjoy all the fun. Most have been there before and i guess for some my way its our turn now.

Anyway having taken a break and flicked on bbc news just managed to catch the 01:55 forecast i am very happy with what i seen and if anything tomorrow looks to be a lot more better than tonight. For those who did not catch it i will explain.

After the mild sector clears off we are left with clear skys and very cold air in which ice looks to be a problem. As we progress through the evening we see a spell of snow for london & the se not sure how much but its snow and not rain.

Into Tuesday and showers or longer forms of snow push in from the eastern coasts traveling well inland and showing as far west as reading.

Wednesday & Thursday however looking dry but that is to far ahead atm.

More happier = You bet !

Just had a quick look across London from the top of Broadcasting House, nothing yet but I live in hope.

Still smells of the Alps though

lol yep we r all mad !

[Sno' problem]

No probs mate, we all need to throw our toys out of the pram occasionally

Looks like the Met Office and Beeb got it spot on as regards tonights/this mornings ppn... unless this streamer coming through the Cheshire Gap takes us unawares?? (There is always at least ONE surprise when it comes to snow events in this country)

Are you in Oxford Circus right now?

[Met4Cast]

'The Gap' is definitely closing in now

Seem to be a few showers developing ahead of the main band

[Jezzer]

Cheshire Gap Streamer still going strong, very impressed

I am twickenham - nothing here yet - but if I squint hard enough

[Sno' problem]

Any sign of anything in Uxbridge yet Snow Lady? The radar shows it pepping up a bit to the NW of London now, while that Cheshire streamer is now chugging it's way nicely through Birmingham and heading straight for us! Not too bad considering.

(In Notting Hill by the way)

[london-snow]

Overnight snow and snow cover followed by beefy snow showers tuesday = Happpy !

[Met4Cast]

Yep, I've always felt that Monday night into Tuesday could produce something for us.

snowlady I'm in central London at the moment just off Regent St but heading home from work in the morning, back to Surrey

Looks like something I saw on the pavement on the way to work, not pretty!

Thank you, although I wouldn't mind it bucketing down and then I'd ski home.

G'night John

Nope think i have had enough drama for one day and night.

I think for the mild sector it really is game up for us London and west. It has been very well handled over the past 48 hours so not really worth watching the 00z for that.

Tomorrows 06 & 12 for the potential overnight tomorrow & Tuesday let's hope the bbc are spot on as they was with the mild sector.

Night all take care.

[Sno' problem]

Thanks John, a wonderful update, many thanks and sweet dreams!

[stricklandc92]

Still snowing nicely in ramsgate

[CrimsonSunset]

Nothing at all in Clapham, London yet. Saw a few tiny flakes in the air for a few minutes out in Hampstead this afternoon. I have a feeling nothing will happen snow-wise, seems to be downgrade after downgrade.
