London & South East Regional Discussion - January 19th 2013>

[Col Berkshire]

Quite possible. Heathrow on alert for up to 6cm tomorrow. Just need the heavier stuff to push west a bit

Sounds good. My Dad works at Heathrow and tells me most of the snow has gone. He was amazed at the amount we have here when he got home yesterday.

[A Wintry Mix]

Do you think we will get a decent amount of snow in NW London?

See above charts!

[NO LONGER POSTING]

How about Monday?

[snowbob]

All this IMBY whinging is boring. Yes it's not 1963 but yesterday was clearly a significant and memorable snowfall for MANY parts of the country including here in Surrey. Just because you don't get snow don't dismiss the whole event as rubbish.

[throwoff]

Current gillingham depth 0cm

[barmybint]

Snow depth here is a dusting, so 0cm (although that must equate to a couple of Kentimetres)! Looking at an early cup exit here :-(

[crazy_diamond]

total amount of snow accumulated on the brick wall at the front of my flat in South Ockendon: 0.5cm

[Sussex Jules]

To be honest i'm not holding my breath for tomorrow I had about 7 or 8 hours of snow yesterday and got about 3cm give me a streamer any day. I think yesterday the South Downs sheltered me too much. Great to see that Brighton got a good covering. Hopefully tomorrow's angle of attack will be better for here.

Have about 2 cm lying still so had a bit of a thaw.

I can understand the moaning I think yesterday's event was hyped up a bit by the media talking of disruptive snow.

[Paul Ashford]

6mm here

I didn't realise that there was a thaw and then a reload of cold back in 63. Hope for us yet should things turn to the M word later next week. This programme is fascinating.

I'm now wondering what time to set of to Tunbridge Wells for the wedding tomorrow, should be an interesting drive!

[Reefseeker]

How do you download pics if you want to post them? Anyone help please?

Can't see a reply to this one. Go into 'More reply options' and you will see a little tab towards the bottom saying 'attach files' and asking you to 'choose file' from your computer. It explains everything from then on pretty much. Hope that is what you were after.

If snow depth anywhere near your house counts in the Snow depth cup how bout i found a massive pot hole here in Canary wharf and the snow held...gives me halftime of 6 London centimetres

Yes even the worst winters weren't solidly cold, there were brief milder interludes. Looking good for the next month or so I reckon with the SSW effects still to filter down

[polarlow2]

I think the ramping in the model thread perhaps doesn't help. There was talk from some of 15 or 20cms widespread yesterday, which the Met Office were never, ever predicting. I've learned to take much of what is said in the model thread with a pinch of salt over the years. Saves disappointment.

Good isn't it!

[BlizzardBelle]

Amazing that exactly the same discussions are being had about investment in snow management now, 40 yrs on from the estimated £200million repair bill of 1963...
