London & South East Regional Discussion 18th January 2013, 12z onwards

[Buckster76]

hold the phone - just spotted a flake

RAMP time

[Marie]

Heavy snow again temp 0.4 dewpoint -0.8

[Southender]

Where are you seeing this Lewis Please ??

Have you got any charts to put in here, must admit not looked at the GFS (Because I bloody well hate it)

Sat afternoon right out to Sunday mornings *snow* looks favourable for some showers perhaps..Whether this will kick off any instability is up for debate.

[MONKEYJAM]

snowing again last measurement 13cm

wow 13 cm your only 3 miles from me in Woking that 4 cm more

[Hoppy]

10cm in egham not far from you

So who has had highest snowfall so far ? I'll start off with 9 cm here in Woking

[Paul Sherman]

I have to say that the current set up has surprise snowfalls written all over it ( with the odd disappointment thrown in as well!)

Well we shall see anyway on Sunday, one thing for sure it would be a totally different type of snow should it occur and the decent type for Snowmen with that big claggy wet snowfall and huge chunks!

[kold weather]

The difference on Sunday is the strength of any low dewpoints being transported in, I see the 0c line is pretty much across Kent, Sussex and Essex and also with slacker winds I see this as being quite important.

I know why your worrying, having lived alot of my life about 1 mile from the thames, anything that is marginal will make a difference there.

With that being said conditions France is snowy, most of the SE is snowy and that will help to cool the surface airflow. I think the most worrying thing would be the lack of snow cover for your location. Anywhere that has any snow lying on the ground come Sunday should get some snow from this front IF it makes it here (plenty of time to change)

[Yellow Army]

Quite happy the snow wasn't as bad as predicted, should hopefully mean the Football is on tomorrow!

[throwoff]

So come on someone with knowledge. What's this idea about snow hitting Kent tonight? Nothing on radar!

[Jan_Bromley]

Snow pepping up here now

[blackprince]

Well i have just rushed out and measured the snow depth...its 15 mm....trouble is its the snow left from the other day

[tropical madness]

Wonder who was in the .5 up North

Leuchars RAF or Linton-on-Ouse RAF

[NO LONGER POSTING]

10cm in egham not far from you

Took off the front garden wall lol ;/

[West Sussex Kate]

we got 10cm here in billingshurst sussex

[Snow Obsession]

14cms/5.5 inches here and still snowing but very lightly...

And here's our snow penguin

[Kentspur]

Didn't think it was possible to have 7.5hours of snow falling and not even have an inch covering lol!! So much for the precipitation- conversion rates lol! I bet even central London has more being further West

[Guest archiesmummy]

I'm pleased, inch of snow and more falling

[Eskimo]

My forecast for Sunday

[Tom Montalbano]

I measured mine of flat lawn in the middle of the garden

* and the snow, phnar phnar

That sounds the fairest place to measure, imo. Dont forget we're not even midway through the first half in Football terms. 09.00 Monday is cut-off point.

18.00 hours tomorrow, half/time and I promise to put on my best BBC sports presenters voice to give you the scores as they stand!

Concerned now for melt-rate by Mon. morning but don't want to upset members, by changing the goal-posts, again!

Regards,

Tom.

[Snowman.]

Snow pepping up here now

Blow it across the thames!

[Matt12]

Why do people seriously want snow? Isn't the Uk economy in a messed up state as it is? Another few days/week and things will be a lot worse!

1 cm here.

[jright35]

Kaddy now saying she may have to eat her words about snow in Kent later! Oh dear

[NO LONGER POSTING]

Round three after Sunday anyone?

[london-snow]

London Snow when are we meant to show our inches, so to speak?

Ha Ha

Just a tad over 13.4cms here mate still very light snow

[Kent Blizzard]

Well I still dont seem to be going anywhere fast in this sledge.

Depth: 0.01cm
