London & South East Regional Discussion 17th January 2013, 12z onwards

[Jezzer]

So that run has secured it for me, all my ski gear is coming down from the loft.

Wait til the media picks up on this, going to be headline making news all weekend!

[Biensie]

Mondays is looking like rain according to the UKMO apparently

Was waiting for the first negative post....... usual thing..... and getting very boring

[Marie]

What time tomorrow will the snow start guys?

[Mac_SE]

Hope it comes down as heavy as in Feb 09. Different direction and timeframe I know but gave depths of 5/6 inches widely.

[Kent Blizzard]

Forget Monday at this stage, Yesterday people were worried about Sunday being mild and rain, no doubt tomorrow people will worry about Tuesday instead.

Let's get the snow here tomorrow, then worry about next week.

[Downpour]

One little thing, bbc london are saying moderate to heavy snow for tomorrow but people on here are saying light to moderate.

That would be a huge difference over that time span?????

We await Cockthaw's forecast this evening. The model runs today should have wiped that smile off his face

[Southender]

Here we go then.

Steve M's Temperature drop time...

Southend:

Temp: 0.5c

DP: -5.5c

Low temps are imperative tonight. The lower the better. Let's get that ground cold and rock hard.

He will probably still be sitting on the fence or not show any graphics claiming a technical issue

[Downpour]

A light-moderate band of snow appears to trying to enter the London area from the WSW... Anyone got anything in Kingston etc?

He'll still try to get "turning to rain" into his forecast

[Great Plum]

Indeed... Especially as at least tues - thurs seems to be likely to support snow (according to the gfs) it would be a shame for a slush fest on Monday!

No doubt. Or snow "turning to rain" (in March)

[VP79]

Hello everyone, my first post here.

Now im guessing that nothing is 100% certain, but could someone give the chances of there being a decent bit of snow around the Southend area, thanks!

[Coast]

So lets go wild and look into deep FI, which could be Wednesday....

[fluid dynamic]

Who's up for sledging tomorrow ?

Boxhill should be good
