London & South East Regional Discussion 20/01/13 18z -------->

Not snowing in Guildford so think that is it for now

[Biggin]

Surrey has earned every right to be talked about in the same breath as John Pike and Steve Murr

He said that the precip would back build and head back west again and looks like he has called it spot on

Bit over the top methinks. Surrey has the enthusiasm sure but..

[Southender]

Fast developing situation, am amazed orange or even red alerts haven't been put out yet for the SE/London/Surrey

What are you on about?

It is still pulling away North. Just slower than progged.

There is no backbuilding into Belgium.

[southbank]

very strange all but finished then started up again in sutton , looking at radar seems a thin wedge of perception has popped up

And now January 20th 2013 will now be my memory as one of the great snowfalls that London has had!

Been snowing almost all day, in light and haevy falls, snow flakes turning big at times. Parks and even roads in Central London have been coated with beautiful white snow cover, snow sticking to traffic lights and staues with abitter cold -1c windchill!

Still snowing now in Central London very lightly.

We must have recieved up to 10cm of snow so far and its still rising.

Fridays snowfall pales in comparison.

Best Snow Day EVA!!!

Are the Snow Gods listening to us at last? Just got a bit heavier again.

[ChartViewer]

Its finished bar a few odd spots here and there...but a truely wonderful day for us SE er's.......Cracking open a red

[manutdmatt1986]

Think the snow has cleared this part of Kent Still, there's always tomorrow night

[Mac_SE]

What's the radar saying for SE London? Wouldn't mind some of those 50p flakes veering this way.

[CWT2012]

What are you on about?

There is no backbuilding into Belgium.

There is a line of snow from Belgium that is heading into the UK via a line between Colchester and Norwich, unless I am misreading the radars that stuff seems to be heading straight for London/Surrey, plus the western edge of the front has been back building returning snow to sw London and Epsom area that had previously cleared

[lewis028]

Finally coming to an end here in basildon, just the odd flurry now, even though it's been light/mod snow, still has been a good event with over 12 hours of non stop snowfall

[SHM040519]

Essex Weather tweeted - Met office and European models suggest a spell of snow between 1800 and 2100 tomorrow!

No it isn't. There have been many many days with a lot more in every part of the country.

[pages]

The precip is definitely back building and heading west

If that stuff over Belgium arrives down the estuary could well be another 20cm from Kent to west Surrey

In about an hour the region will be in the centre of the low so easterly feed cut off.

[Whereisthesnow?]

Just returned from having a rather nice meal in the village and can confirm the snow has finally stopped. Awesome day.

[CWT2012]

Bit over the top methinks. Surrey has the enthusiasm sure but..

He was the only one this afternoon that said that easterlies would blow all the precip from earlier back to London as opposed to push it north, lucky guess maybe but looks like he has nailed it

[Ruislipredbee]

London he said!!

[Downpour]

Same here very strange

We are at the top of that - really quite heavy here. Won't last I don't think as the front will pull away but a nice top up to neaten it up before morning.

[mulzy]

London he said!!

Specifically Central London.

[Kent Blizzard]

With regards tomorrow night is this from Thames Streamers or something or the lot potentially coming from the SW?

[msx999]

coming down nicely here...

[blackprince]

I was asleep for most of this snow day and was just wondering what the next 48hrs have lined up for us.....and if we are due some more snow in the morning I think I will have to stay up LOL

It is still tracking north, you can see that on the radar. What has happened is that it's stayed in London far longer than expected and by the end of the day the snowfall covered the entire Gtr London area. A cracking day's snow for London.
