[Buckster76]

yeah its not heading SE !

[NO LONGER POSTING]

current wind directions would have all that stuff coming in from theeast coast up north across our whole region..With what ever is firing up those showers..Could be an intresting night.. IMO

[leemondo]

sleety/snow mix here, when the wind picks up its more snowy

[Mikel Nimbus]

Maybe an Outflow Boundary thrown off by the front earlier causing this convective energy! ?

Hadn't considered that. It would explain how they've kept their energy over 200miles of cold land.

[Lampostwatcher]

Light sleet here

[Weathizard]

was amazing ,what would have caused that? It got so windy ?

A classic case of evaporative cooling, the heavier the precip the more chance it falls as snow, the more weak/less intense it is the more chance with current uppers it will fall as snizzly rubbish

[chionomaniac]

More sleet snow alternative mix here.

I do hope so, but the showers seem to be losing their punch now. Also, I'm surprised how high dew points still are. I guess milder Atlantic air must be in the mix with these showers.

Personally I love set ups like this. This is nature at its best, serving up suprises when you least expect them. Is it any coincidence Im listening to Bad Moon Moon Rising on my I-Pod.........

[Mark wheeler]

[london-snow]

Pouring with rain here in morden sw london !

[stormmanic]

Nothing to report in SE Essex. I know they have had snow up in Chelmsford, are we likely to see any tonight in this corner?

[bobbydog]

Indeed, my feelings too

why not?

current conditions-

(note the precip on the radar and wind directions on the chart)

pretty much the whole of the south east region covered there (including all of essex)

[WillinGlossop]

Reporting 6 inches of snow ne of norwich in ea thread..... Wowza.....

[DAVID SNOW]

Dew Points and temps should start to fall away soon as the low heads South East, Anti Clockwise, ie,from the NE.

With the circulation round the low pressure that storm could do the tour of Kent, Essex and London and be back with you in Brighton in a couple of hours LOL!

Hopefully it will swing to cover more of the SE but right now it doesnt look to good on the radar

[Whereisthesnow?]

So, what's the score for tonight then?

[tight isobar]

Hope that comes off my friend

yes ,looking good did think there could be a trick or two out of that little lot, looks to be merging,,,and darwin i say heading much further west.......all eyes ön it.

[Nikkib74]

We've had a heavy mix of rain and snow in Haywards Heath for the past hour or so, it's stopped now but it looked really pretty in the garden light, like lots of mini fireworks shooting down. I've never seen it like that before, in tried to video it but it looks too dark on the playback.

[tight isobar]

Darwin????? Dare i say,,excuse me.

[fluid dynamic]

aarrrrgh thats it then I am going to be glued to the radar page again
