London & South East Regional Discussion - January 15th 2013>

Im sure wed thurs will be better for any sort of snow showers.All models have a E -light flow.We wont have any wraps in thers by thurs.All eyes to the west for the weekend

[Southender]

Unfortunately the flow off the continent, although plenty cold enough for snow now, is just too slack. We need the isobars to tighten and create some instability in the N.Sea. A few flurries are possible, especially the further east you are. But not amounting to a great deal as it stands.

Yum!

Could have some trouble on the commute home if that verifies on friday

Lovely day here clear skies to my south but coming from the north looks very dark clouds??

Correct!

Just one major problem with that Meto Chart - Who would like to guess what!

It looks a great chart just viewing it but 1 vital ingredient missing I feel!

Snow ?

[Southender]

I thought the trough producing the showers over the North is set to slip further south? I think that's what steve was hinting at yesterday

I feel anywhere over our region will see some flurries today amounting to nothing what so ever really :/

Bit weird at home (Raynes Park/Motspur Park) this morning. Went out to the car at 6.45am to see if in needed de-icing, no ice, got in it at 7.10am, iced up !

Surbiton at 8am had 'easy scrape' ice on the car but the back door was stuck shut for a while! Here in Uxbridge the clouds are grey with a hint of fluff and 1c on the car temperature reading. Have a nice day everyone.

[Paul Sherman]

Yeah winds look too slack, as Shrimper says the trough is in an ideal place, if those damn isobars were closer those showers could be blown well into the SE, And that is what most signals were for Wednesday over the weekend, just not getting the rub of the green in this cold spell!

Would expect some showers for Caister, Yarmouth, Lowestoft, Ipswich etc etc, but wether these fall as snow on the coast or a wintry mix is still up for debate, could be one of those annoying days where the showers look great just offshore but as soon as they come inland lose their intensity.

Would really love to see a better angle of attack, East North Easterly or straight Easterly for us down here, looks great for Norfolk and Suffolk again though!

And to be fair to them, they pretty much missed out on the spectacular falls in 2009 and 2010 due to the wind not being favourable for them!

Hope so

[liltbrockie]

I think the 06Z has an easterly bias so expect this to be pushed back further west on the next run :-(

[Coast]

Get yourself ready for the 06z GFS, this could be a corker for us!

[Lampostwatcher]

Friday and the weekend looking much more interesting on the o6z

[NO LONGER POSTING]

Damn Friday looks tasty... I don't wanna say this but it will be hard to push to the very east of our region...UNLESS well...The east gives up a less of a fight

[Lampostwatcher]

This is what we want

[Coast]

Oh my goodness, who wants some of this?

[liltbrockie]

Please don't get you hopes up to much for friday it looks very marginal! It's really on a knifes edge and I don't think we will know for sure until thursday morning if its going to happen!

[Mike Storm]

^^^ 70 hrs away thou.... probably be spring by then

[nanu]

Oh my goodness, who wants some of this?

thats friday/saturday.. you all know how it goes from here!! il try to be hopeful Edited January 15, 2013 by nanu

[Ruislipredbee]

Day after tomorrow scenario !!!

[snowbob]

Concerns on the mod thread though if it stays that way will be a repeat of yesterday for us

Hope not

Time for change though
