London & South East Regional Discussion 18th January 2013, 19:00hrs>

[coldtoes]

So now the S Essex, North Kent, East Kent brigade are talking possible 10cms.....hehe

We live in hope

[EML Network]

And the thaw begins :-( ...drip drip drip from the roof's , but it's the slowest thaw I have ever witnessed , I'm thinking the thaw will just start to get going as the temperature drops back to 0 degree's ...current temperature here is 0.7 degree's and the dew point is 0.0 degree's on the nose !..both slowly falling ! :-)

[<<Ryan>>]

Snow has nearly stopped now after an hour of heavier stuff. Main roads not looking too good, though only got 3.2cm of snow out on the garden table

[Southender]

Right South Ockendon massive, The Southend boys are coming for ya...A solid dusting now. We have lift off!

[ChartViewer]

We live in hope

Heres hoping you get it...certainly seems like those showers are beefy and maybe turning your way.........Come on France do us a favour for a change

[blackprince]

Who booked them?

don't know that but has it got a big wind section,or will it just be a wind-up

[sarah7meme]

What's the plan for Kent

Will it beef up

[Paul Sherman]

10cm ??

At the rate this Sleety Dandruff is falling, I will be 92 when we get to 10cm!

But nice to see something floating past the Lamp Post

Looks by the radar this will be over and done with within the hour!

As you say at least we have seen Snow from this front

[Tilly]

i expect that was a snail you stood on

oh dear God I hate Snails!!!! lol

[coldtoes]

I can just visualise the fur collars and Range Rovers of Essex being pulled out of heated garages, past mock georgian mansions with electric gates, down heated block paved driveways, into several centimetres of crisp gorgeous essex girl snow, " oh daz, innit lush, go back an get me ugg boots, this is gonna be massive "

You are like, SO jel

That's being melted by people heating probably, heat rises.

[SF-02]

Will this snow heading up get to SE London? Most of the snow earlier from the west degraded a lot about 5-10 miles west of here, and I hope snow heading to kent doesn't skim by 10 miles to the east.

Indeed. Better than nothing.

[Eskimo]

Further developments across North Kent, Essex, North & East Herts and Suffolk as the night goes on.

that's a good point....that would make sense, because there's no visible melt on the car roofs, pavements , grass etc !!

[Neilsouth]

haha look at it collapse, WORST forecast ever for this region... SERIOUSLY, met office stop forecasting for our region please as you SUCK

[coldtoes]

Just had a look outside. I've seen more 'dusting' on top of a victoria sandwich, but it's a start.

[Helvellyn]

have the winds changed around? showers seem to be beefing up slightly towards southend.

[Buckster76]

rating this a 3/10 for effort atm for here

pathetic- but at least it tried - lol

[CBo]

M2 has become 2 lanes in parts really heavy!

[Paul Sherman]

Now it would be lovely for the wind to shift to a straight easterly, the estuary fill up and then just pummel us all night, in my ideal world it would move up the estuary towards London and multiply and spread out creating every type of slapper, streamer, screamer, tickler, clipper, clappers you name it!
