London & South East Regional Discussion - January 14th 2013 12z Onwards

[A Wintry Mix]

This probably is one of the most unremarkable 'cold spells'. Ever.

Temp climbing towards 4 now.

Its that westerly component. Never want it, ever,ever!

Agreed, something always seems to pop up to ruin everyones fun!

[Radiating Dendrite]

One for the bin tbh

They haven't factored in the Cheshire Gap or the wrap around

Erm.........seeing as they are the experts, I think they probably have.

[Flaked Queen]

Yes cars in school car park still have a bit of snow. I do hope the next band delivers something more substantial.

was lovely in the early hours when it started to fall im sure we will get some more

[snow raven]

Wonder how Bexley is fairing then?

raining sadly

[Southender]

Stopped 4.2cm recorded

Nice one. Congrats.

We have about 4.2cm here as well, of rain.

[Snowman.]

Watch the radar tonight!

That radar has the heaviest RAIN over me

This Monday is just a normal day.

[greenhithe]

the temp keeps dropping here now reporting -2 and its sort of misty outside

[Tilly]

The met office have updated, they only expect kent to get a few showers tonight so dont get excited

it says wintry showers, especially across Kent. Sounds better than rain tbf

[yamkin]

Snowing again

[Biggin]

Very wet big blobs of white stuff just started, end of the warmer segment??

Erm.........seeing as they are the experts, I think they probably have.

NAE have called it best in this spell, way better than METO

NAE updates say Cheshire Gap will reach the SE and the wrap around will reach west London

NAE > METO

[Southender]

Today shows why frontal snowfall although possibly the most rewarding, is almost always the wrong side of marginal for us.

Give me a decent flow off the N.Sea in sub -8c 850 air and a sunshine and snow showers setup anyday, over this bloody heart-attack miserable stuff.

[Thinon]

Snowing again

Even yamkin sounds fed up!

[NO LONGER POSTING]

TBH...The NAE is on top form!

[Sno' problem]

Totally stopped in W10 too. 0cm lying despite nearly five hours of snowfall

Up the road in Willesden it has apparently settled in places, so just a matter of a mile or two out for us, but nice to see some flakes falling and had a dusting from the early ppn, so let's look forward to later!

[NO LONGER POSTING]

Just to let people know...This is the start of what could be a very long cold spell...The block could be very very strong..

[Met4Cast]

The front will be clearing soon and it'll be turning drier, lets just hope we see something a bit more substantial tonight, because so far a Northerly Toppler probably would have produced more!

[Col Berkshire]

Just to let people know...This is the start of what could be a very long cold spell...The block could be very very strong..

I agree Surrey. I think lows will undercut the block dumping loads of snow in our region from next weekend :-)

great so we still get rain but colder

Lol

[Snowangel-MK]

Well I have had 3cm at best of snow here in MK which isn't much considering it has snowed most of the day here, right now the sky is blue and the sun is shining which looks so pretty on the snow, but is sadly melting it a bit in places, Temperature 1.4 °C Dew Point 0.7 °C so at this time of day not much of a thaw I hope, it will be freezing again soon !

[Sleet30031972]

Boarded a train at half past two to London from Crewe. In Crewe the snow had all melted, (been snowinh heavily all night), in stoke just patches remained.

By far the best cover was in Chilterns/Hertfordshire where everything, including rooftops and trees were still covered. Watford and outskirts of London much better covering than anything north of Rugby.

[Jimmyh]

clearing here in sutton wot is it like near orpington anyon know

[stainesbloke]

Chance of more snow tonight? What do u guys/girls reckon? Sun out here and cloud clearing SE, still very cold at 1.8C. Everything sopping wet outside and with the clear skies looks like some nasty conditions

[Thinon]

I'll just put these toys in my pram, so I can be ready to throw them out tonight

[A Wintry Mix]

I agree Surrey. I think lows will undercut the block dumping loads of snow in our region from next weekend :-)

Why is it all the snow is 4 or 5 days away? and when we get to zero hour it's been downgraded or it has disappeared.
