London and South East Regional Discussion - 20th January 2013 13:00hrs>

I have come to the conclusion that light-moderate mini flakes is the best snow (as long as it snows all day). This gear is utterly brilliant, lovely powder. Perfect.

I totally agree,still got loads and still constant so im very,very happy

[manutdmatt1986]

Tomorrow night. hmmm. . . you think we wont get a thaw then?

Not for a few days at least. Temperatures won't really get above freezing tomorrow.

[Southender]

Anyone looking ahead to tomorrow eve?

Slim chance of nicking something?

Or are we done until a fresh reload?

[danm]

Chucking it down! However, think the next hour or so will see it die down as the system continues to push north.

Amazing day. So happy with how it all turned out. Hope that isn't the last proper snowfall we'll see this winter...

BBC are showing snow to the south and east of London tomorrow night. A few cms maybe.

[Matty M]

Well done all, seems this one really went to plan! Enjoy it! From a dry snowless Ireland!

[Charltonkerry]

I think the flashes are trains, when the third rail gets a coating, the shoes can arc

Still snowing in a very snowy Dartford.

Don't think it's the trains as both me and the wife saw what looked like balls of light and then a bang, would guess somewhere around the Dartford bridge, but could be wrong, don't think I was the only one to hear the bangs as well.

Temp -0.5

Dew point -1.3

[Tom Montalbano]

alot on the fence had started to thaw! I'll go and have a measure in a mo. It seemed alot deeper out the rec than in the garden. It looks lovely out there doesn't it

Hi Tilly,

Hope your little fellas, not too bad today. Dont really need a final measurement until 9.00 a.m tomorrow.

But no adding your amount to Wills, please! lol

Cheers,

Tom.

[Southender]

Right official Southend depth is an average 6cm.

Crazy Diamond how did you do?

Just had the most fantastic afternoon sledging on Farthing Downs. Good 6 or 7 inches of snow, and none of the slushy mud on the slopes. Woodland looking so pretty and a great drive home via the backroads. So what's the latest? It is still snowing moderately out there - keep it coming

[Paul Sherman]

Last hour or so we have had a different type of wet and clingy snow, the type that makes fur trees look amazing, added another centimetre so some parts of my back garden are upto 6.5 to 7cm now.

Rapidly decaying from the South now so only another hour to 2 hours left for most of out region, thought we would get 4" but more than happy with around 3" seeing as we never really got under any heavy precip.

Great day and off out tomorrow to get some pictures!

[Country Boy]

enjoy...its going to be all over by next week end ....latest gfs....mr atlantic has a big push....but i remember 1963. same thing happened and 5foot...yes 5foot drifts in places ..after a short lull

To our more learned posters. What sort of temps are we exppecting overnight once this clears, and what's on the horizon tomorrow re snow chances v rain??

[leemondo]

thing is, the GFS had the breakdown for Wednesday a couple of days ago, its been pushed further and further back, alot can change in 6 days, not saying it wont happen, but could easly go the other way too

[Whereisthesnow?]

And still it falls from the sky in Bexley. Epic day today. Not looking forward to tomorrow's journey into London though. Major disruption on all lines at the moment,

[TornadoJo]
