Hi guys, can a Thames streamer affect nw london by ant chance?

Yes, but the wind direction has to be easterly. In nearly every case the wind seems to be NE or ENE so we will just have to wait until tomorrow

Jeez -9c/-10c out towards RAF Lakenheath. Is that a known forst hollow or something?

It's the snow cover they have.

[danm]

The precipitation in the Estuary is predominantly Green ( Sleet ), how reliable is the NW weather type ?

It' may be sleet out in the estuary, but if it moves inland it will readily turn to snow.

[SMU]

GFS mean sees that band of snow moving up from the SE at T84 bringing more snow- ( possible turning sleety in the extreme SE coastal zone)

That blob off the Felixstowe coast needs watching over the next few frames...

[stotm]

lol at that temp reading- classic direct sunlight reading.

The air temp here is probably still -3c.

Paul I want the 12/1 shot winner take all heavy snow south of the estuary....

Hi, found problem water on a sensor "Vantage Pro 2 station been in the same place for years" , temp got upto 10.5c! I think you are right some of that frozen

fog melted in the "sun" and somehow got in cables to sensor.

All ok now winter back again

[Coast]

Well it just keeps throwing that snow at us!

Hi guys, can a Thames streamer affect nw london by ant chance?

Yes it can. Ideally we want ese streamer. However, if the streamer is wide enough then we can do ok in a ene streamer (albeit south of the river would get higher totals). Feb 09 was ene and is a good example

[Buzzit]

Further East / same for me Paul (after looking very amateurishly at the latest satellite images)

[tonbridgemole]

West England/East Wales is going to get the heavy stuff according to the tweets of Simon King. I'm just to the very West of London so looks like I'll and those East will miss the heavy stuff but light instead. Is it found to be patchy though?
