London & South East Regional Discussion 21st January 2013, 12z onwards

[Coast]

on meteox radar it looks like its gonna be in kent fairly soon and looking like its gettin bigger . whoopp whoop

Cold rain? No thanks

[Nick F]

Looking at 12z obs, air tem[s generally 1C in the London area and 1-3C over areas to the south and east of the capital now, still freezing or below across the northern and western Home Counties.

Interestingly, although temps are up to +3C towards east Kent, dew points are dropping off, with -2C dp across E Kent, hinting at drier air moving in from the SE/E as Paul indicated earlier.

Clutching at straws guys !

The ppn don't look like reaching the southeast

It might clip Surrey but I'd say the eastern extent will be reading

if u compare the nae, nmm and the gfs high res u can clearly see that things are far from nailed at this point - in terms of where, when and what!

therefore, there is some interest in how this evening and tonight pans out

Hope that precip does not reach the Thames Estaury, still have a full cover with some 4-5cm in most spots in the back garden, in fact building a Mega Snowman when the youngest gets back from School.

Would rather have no precip at all if its gunna be rain!

1.6c drip drip drip

I forfeited the 1st round as I was never going to beat those south east Londoners with the Sunday action damn

[Kent Snow]

+3C in Manston and sunny.

[musehead]

Distinct thaw and lots of dripping this afternoon near Leatherhead at 75m asl.

Looking out for wintry ppn this evening with interest, not really expecting anything.

[tight isobar]

Latest met, update(lrf) still goes firmly with the cold reload, in around 12days.with a return to below av,temps.and kora of suggest for at least, several chances for further snowfall.intresting model viewing from friday onwards i susspect...a mild blip of sorts one would think!!!!

[rmc1987]

Any know what Fri holds, the iPhone weather app still had day temps below zero here? Said -3c now -2c. Now that's rare for here but not much has been said about this. Perhaps the app is based a raw data?

[Whereisthesnow?]

Been looking at the front moving in from the west. Moved considerably more east since yesterday and curling around the South - any chance it might clip the London Region, Kent?

[Heretic]

Definitely something approaching from the channel now and it looks like London is definitely in the firing line at present. Just hope by the time it hits temps will be down.

Well the big thaw is on in Benny Hill but it still feels cold as the wind has cranked up a bit through the morning. Wet slush grey sky and cold wind - the big downside of a snow event in the SE.....

[steveinsussex]

Can't believe there isn't a bit more excitement in here, 20 miles further north and we in the game

[Suburban Streamer]

not much thaw here, 6 inches of cover still and all trees etc still covered too

hope to keep it until fri nite / saturday....

Been a slow thaw all day here, and now it's just started raining :-(

Ohh well, it was nice whilst it lasted, and so the hunt for the next lot of snow begins.

Thank god we still have another 5 weeks of Winter still to come :-)

[afcone]

2.6 degC and it's starting to thaw quite quickly. TBH that's a good thing as I can't go running at the moment for fear of breaking my neck!

[hernebaylooby]

very pleasant out there today, sun is out and very mild meanin drip drip the snow has melted very fast today my patio is now clear bar a snowcat who still stands
