In my own words (if you know what I mean), it's going to be bad with more snow than what we anticipate

Away for a short while..........Need to let all of this sink in

one of these days you'll be right yammers !!

then we really will be in trouble!

[Southender]

Emergency meeting at Croydon Council regarding the 2 day non stop heavy snow starting this Friday afternoon. Loads of snow and the depths will exceed expectations

Lol. We can always rely on you Rampkin.

I cant see heavy snow, but more light to moderate at times. But for quite a while. Giving 5cm for most. Up to 10cm over hills and lucky spots.

I will happily bank that.

Lets just pray the ppn arrives. Still got that niggling doubt it wont.

[alexisj9]

Based on the latest data just in that looks unlikely - its been a great evening so far *She touches wood it continues*

True hopefully they update the text soon.

[Laurence Hill]

Great buzz on this forum, even if it doesn't come off as we hope, it's still been good fun.

[john pike]

Any members from Margate/Ramsgate, shower on your doorstep, almost within touching distance to your NE.

Regards,

Tom.

Isn't 53.6mm actually 5.36cm? <fails to understand post>

from my understanding 1mm of rain = 10mm (or 1cm) of snow (perhaps due to density)

I wonder if they will send out another email to the employees like they did last week?

I would think they might wait a bit as it was such a non event in the end?

I wonder when the Meto will say there is going to be more then currently forecast to the general public?

What you seeing John? Double whammy with a nice pivot?

[EML Network]

Confirmation of my worst fears :-(

If it's not coming from the East...it's no good for man nor beast (if you live on the South Coast like me ) :-(

[Jayces]

I haven't been out for a night out for a while and am planning on one on Friday, so want the snow badly but also want to be able to go out.

That chart is up to midnight on Friday, does not take into account snow for the rest of the weekend.

[Kent Blizzard]

Ok my latest Kent Snow risk map update, a slight change to lunchtimes update based on the latest outputs.

[john pike]

On phone so cannot do properly

The front stops over the south east fri pm to latr fri night

This is not the low it is an undercut. Will do a full update tonight

Hi shot

I expect this spell to continue.

More later

Total ballhang. Ignore.

Im certain should the PPn arrive it will be ALL snow, even on Southern coasts.

Yeah but most of the heavy snow will have fallen by then...it's always the same along the South Coast of England, it could be snowing on Mercury, indeed it could be snowing in the inner core of the sun...and it would still rain here :-(...I'm still hopeful, but I'm not getting my hopes up...if needs be I'll get some warm clothes on and talk a trundle up onto the South Downs !

Latest MetO faxes look absolutely excellent.

Again it reminds me of a classic 1980s style setup with that lovely "H" symbol sitting above the UK controlling the Atlantic.

[Sussex Jules]

Thank you John I expect there will be a fair few members awaiting your update tonight.

[john pike]

Update fax charts about 11 tonight.
