London & South East Regional Discussion 18th January 2013, 06z onwards

[95 Degrees]

The flakes do seem to be larger now, would say about 2CM now , will do measurements later.

[manutdmatt1986]

Do wish the front would hurry up though.

[Gowon]

Snowfall is intensifying now, right, gotta go and have a shave.

[ChartViewer]

Just got a corner against Biggin....0.1cm

[A Wintry Mix]

Now Sunday is a doubt!!

Still chuffing cold though

[warrenb]

Yep picked up again here in Tonbridge, not the larger flakes yet though.

[Paul Sherman]

First signs on the radar that the band could be breaking apart in the next few hours, look towards Bristol and you will see the shearing progress going on of the front, expect the top part to go NW.

Btw Tom looks like me and Dan could be playing out a 0v0 draw, does this go to extra time and penalties ??

In Feb! Mwahahaha

MSI (Murr scale indicator) 5.5. Temp -1.9c, DP -3C. Wind light, but snow mostly blowing sideways.

[Southender]

That SE wind is sheering the wotsit out of the leading edge.

Heart attacks all round for the Easties.

It will come though....eventually...I hope!...

Friend just called me who is only 10 miles or so west of me and she says there is a light covering there - still dry here with light flurries stopping and starting. Surprising the difference that a short distance can make. Edit - the flurries are getting a bit heavier now. Spirals of powdery snow blowing down the road

[Vesuvius]

I didn't think it was due to arrive in our area until 12-2pm anyway ?

[Lampostwatcher]

Latest measurement in harrow Weald 3.2cm

[Rinse The Raindrops]

So now we have the cold air but not the snow!

[Southender]

I didn't think it was due to arrive in our area until 12-2pm anyway ?

Correct. Massive amounts of patience required.

[Ruthie]

Damn! Really stacking up now gestimate 3CM maybe a bit more..

We've still got fairly light snow falling here, although blowing about in the wind. I d say we have around 1cm, maybe a bit more..

[craigore]

cloudy ,cold -1.8c, Getting a bit anoyed now , promised my kids we would hve snow today, looking at the forcasrs and the stalling front im now beginning to doubt this, yet another ramp that leaves us easteners wth nowt,

[Kent Blizzard]

Medway now has a snow shield

Jeez c'mon I getting a squeaky bum

[Downpour]

A heavier band of snow seems to be about to cross the M25 from the SW...?

[Kentspur]

It's been 4-6 on the scale for two hours now yet we've barely got a centimetre yet needs to pep up to a 6-7 before we can reach for the ruler

[Lampostwatcher]

Get in !!!!

20p flake blizzards

[PLANET THANET]

Now Sunday is a doubt!!

Still chuffing cold though

I have just looked on the met office website and they show two snow symbols for us on sunday (fingers crossed)

[Southender]

Southend v Plymouth - League 2 - POSTPONED

A bit premature I think!

[Downpour]

Include North Surrey in that mate and the borders of Berkshire..

Agreed. Looking good now for those in the West of our region.

[Kent Blizzard]

You looking at that lot near Horsham? would love that to keep tracking this way

[keke]

A load of games being called off...mainly due to 'health and safety' around the grounds rather than the actual pitches!
