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

[manutdmatt1986]

Can't believe Gravesend and Medway towns have missed so much of the heavier snow yet again from this cold spell. It's now heavier 20 miles West of here and will be for much of the afternoon. Very annoying.

Just touching 4cm in Gravesend now. So i suppose i can't complain too much.

You can see the precipitation weakening on the radar as soon as it gets anywhere near Medway. Much the same as Friday, only we have actually managed to get some snow today.

[Planet Stow]

Heavy snow here but no signs of big flakes yet...

[Discombobulation Man]

Heavy snow bank swelled over East London now, spreading out to engulf central Lonodn too. Turned a bit epic here in Leytonstone!

Innit tho? It seems the Medway shield has only given in slightly! Not enough to go sledging or build a decent snowman, it's like it's teasing us!

Ahhhhh, if only we could have the legendary Thames streamer of 2009/2010.

[Brocken Spectre]

remember 90mins left & temps should start to slide...

S

Can you explain Steve?? We're in snizzle here with +0.2 I need a drop NOW!

[pages]

We are looking good look east, as the northern progress of the low slows the intensity will increase as its travelling further across water, I expect the next few radar returns will show rapid intensification off the Belgium and Dutch coast.

[atrow]

Yes

good someone said it on this thread couple pages back. is it expected to get heavier?

[Heretic]

London's really getting a dolloping right now!

[snowbob]

This is really heavy now huge fkakes

[Kent Snow]

Snow continues to fall. Still small flakes.

[snowfall09]

What are the chances of further snowfall for the southeast tomorrow?? Heard over on the model thread that the low for tomorrow seems slightly further south... Could this guarantee further snowfall for kent?

[barmybint]

Just come back from walking the dog and there were plenty of children on those little plastic sled and two good sized snowmen in Copperfield

[The Giant Daddy Jackpot]

Looks like East Anglia is going to get a good period of moderate to heavy snow soon, as the front rotates.

[Jason H]

Great stuff. Think we are almost at Feb 2009 levels here in SE London

Nowhere near that.

[tadpole]

Just back from duck feeding at Crystal Palace Park, looks beautiful.

Snow much heavier now and roads just starting to get icy in places on the way back, as us and a few others were doing a slide dance.

Snow depth on wheelie bin now 7.5cm

[Southender]

Looks good for Suffolk. They will get nailed.

[danm]

Getting pounded here atm, has turned much heavier again in the last 30mins!

Looking out of the back window:

Temperatures bang on 0.0c here, decent enough I suppose! Annoying to see the heavy snow once again to the West of me, but I can't complain, at least I have a decent snow cover now!!

[Mikel Nimbus]

So tantalisingly close to the heavier stuff. Chigwell looks to be right in the bullseye for the last hour.

[Met4Cast]

Nowhere near that.

Depends where you are I suppose. I got 2 inches in Feb 09, I've beaten that today

[Laurence Hill]

Raynes Park temp now 0.3

Is that dark echo going to reach us, moving very slowly

[Charltonkerry]

Flake size decreasing now, but probably up to an 8 on the murrometer.

[danm]

Some yellow bits on the radar mixed in with the greens over NE London. This is turning out to be much better than expected!
