London and South East Regional Discussion - 20th January 2013 - 06z onwards

[<<Ryan>>]

Getting on for 2cm here and 5cm has fallen in Dover.

[AmericanSusie]

Fine but fast and covering here in east Dulwich!

[tcc]

Small flakes but lots of them! Getting a good covering, will be happy if this keeps up for a few hours as we should have a couple of cm. First time since 2010 that we've got new snow on top of old snow! If we get some more snow tomorrow then I'd have to go back to the mid 80's for the last snow on top of snow on top of snow!

[Alpine glow]

It moved west a bit but I think that is pretty good forecasting considering from where it's travelled from

[Country Boy]

we have more than friday...grass is longer and greener

[leemondo]

heavy snizzley stuff here at the mo, roads trying to turn white but inconsiderate people in cars keep ruining it! lol

[Downpour]

Yeh a little bit... What baffels me is it is moving East to West..

I think the winds here are noreasters - ideal as they are forcing the system west into

London and into locations in the west of our region. Proper snow on snow event now here - all gaps on the path are white!

[Essex Chelle]

Reminds me of this !!!

"Later dudes" hahahaha

Don't try this at home kids ha ha

[Paul Sherman]

Much bigger flakes now, the great thing is there are zillions of the buggers, the depth is growing at a faster rate than even i was thinking.

This is definately not coming in as planned (Angle of attack) an places much further west are going to have a nice surprise I feel from this event, no block out west so no stopping it in its tracks like Friday!

But as Alpine says above great forecast to even get the band into the Uk from its position last night!

[fluid dynamic]

very good forecasting from our experts on here. May even have underplayed it.

[Tom Jarvis]

Any chance of a screenshot mate?

Sorry just mover to my phone so cannot get radar or post screenshot would say it is a 7 on murr scale just waiting for the 20p flakes now lol

[Chris_19]

About a centimetre in Gravesend. Can't quite get under the heavier PPN atm.

[Redmc13]

Not marginal here in Sandwich ..looking good already

[WestSussexSnow]

Still moderate in littlehampton. An extra 0.5cm so far. How far west is this going?

[Roadrunner]

Flakes very gradually getting bigger here. Hope our game is still on v the Mancs later, need to give em a spanking again!

[spayne]

Alpine looking snow here....not our usual wet 50p flakes....

[Coast]

Now hoping it lasts the day!

It looks like it should Jas, there's loads coming out of France:

[hernebaylooby]

Well its been snowing here for 2 hours and i have already fallen on my bum walking home from work! Nice covering here and still going strong

[Essexgooner]

Snowing nicely here, everything covered already, may it continue..............

[SMU]

Thanks Steve - will do. How's it going in Greenhithe? Bexley is covering well ATM - would be nice to see some large flakes soon.

im at work till 4pm :(closing in on 1cm here in bex-greenhithe looks a tad deeper-lots more to comeS

[TornadoJo]

finally I can post as we have real snow! about time. the puppy is loving it!

[john mac]

Small flakes but tanking down!!!

[manutdmatt1986]

The fact this snow is powdery means that it's not marginal and we should get a good rain to snow ratio. If the system is moving further west than expected that means the heavier snow will be further inland.

[Vesuvius]

Getting heavier and more intense now. Superb

[ChartViewer]

Flakes very gradually getting bigger here. Hope our game is still on v the Mancs later, need to give em a spanking again!

Youll get beat so hope its called off
