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

[Rinse The Raindrops]

First flakes in Benfleet Essex

[london-snow]

Rain and sleet arrived now.

Still snow was welcome had a chance to see my first flake of the winter.

Now for areas London & West let's hope that this band pushes away quickly and give a chance for everything to dry up as we may be in for a suprise overnight and tomorrow with first a wrap of the remaining lp which could bring snow & of course beefy showers tomorrow.

[Vertical Limit]

Very light snow at the moment.

[Mark Neal.]

Stll coming down here, been very heavy in last few minutes..

[Paul Sherman]

LIGHT SNOW here by bluewater!!!!

S

You shopping ??

[ambient]

Light snow at Canary Wharf, but fairly consistent fall rate for 30 mins now.

[abruzzi spur]

Snow is a bit heavier in Reigate at 110m asl, would say it is now at the upper end of light. Very fine flakes. Dewpoint continues to rise but still no problems at -2.5c. Temperature getting a bit marginal though - now +1.7c. hPa still falling, currently at 998

Nothing really settling, other than on the little bits left from last night, but nice to watch.

EDIT: gone much lighter again in last couple of minutes and temp up again, 1.8c, and dewpoint up to -2.4c Could do with a heavier burst to get that temperature down!

DOUBLE EDIT: I said heavier burst please, not stopping altogether! Please pay attention.
