London & South East Regional Discussion 22nd January 2013 22:00hrs>

[Biggin]

I'm surprised its sleet there and snow here. Amazing how complex the weather is!

Its turned to moderate snow now mate

[snowbob]

Wouldn't it be nice if today marked a turnaround and the block said no I'm staying

Just like the 80s

Large flakes now but very wet

More sleet than snow

[Sleet30031972]

Yeah Biggin Hill getting involved, great stuff. Winter whiteout here (I exaggerate but only slightly)

[BlizzardBelle]

Heavier now in Wandsworth

[london-snow]

Why is it snowing it was not forecast if i recall?

[chionomaniac]

Heavier graupel shower now - settling on the ground - that will drag the temp down.

remember the commodore 64 ? thats the computers we had in the 80's !!

the met men used something rather larger but it probably had less processing power than an imac has today !

The best events tend to be the ones that crop up out of nowhere

Some extremely heavy snow in Surrey and Sussex, looks like could give a few inches to people and it wasn't forecast by any of the models

[Kawaii]

I'm at work in central london and there's light snow here.

[Great Plum]

Trying to snow here in Reigate... Sleety ATM...

Temp 1.4c dew -0.3

[Jo S]

Bigger flakes coming down now

[london-snow]

Thanes streamer setting up?

Sorry am away from radar.

I do hope so. Seems to be heading this way according to the latest radar!

.....and ignore.

People get absolutely blasted for the slightest negativity on here, but this troll gets free reign?

[afcone]

Synoptics - 8/10 - the recent ones have been fascinating but I can't forget the zonal muck that formed part of this winter

Snow - 4/10 - Last Friday gave us less than 2cm and Sunday's, though constant, was never large flakes

Frosts - 4/10 - there haven't been many recently but the run-up to Christmas during the 'failed beast' gave some good hoar frosts

Total = 16/30 = 5.33/10

[Mark Neal.]

There are very light snow showers in the SE, been moving there way up here all morning, we had 3cm overnight :-)

Do you really believe this or are you just on a mission?

[yamkin]

Snowing lightly

[Great Plum]

Relatively heavy snow here now... Trying to settle!

[CWT2012]

I do hope so. Seems to be heading this way according to the latest radar!

I thought that it might be a Thames streamer as it cropped up from nowhere but I think looking at the direction it originated from that heavy pulse in the channel between Portsmouth and Brighton, certainly an unexpected twist to things just as people were saying goodbye to the snowy spell

[Downpour]

Why is it snowing it was not forecast if i recall?

Moderate snowfall in W10. Looks only to be a shower from the radar.

[CWT2012]

Do you really believe this or are you just on a mission?

There are some dark blues and greens between east grinstead and Guildford heading north and that to me counts as heavy ish snow

[polarlow2]

I do declare it's snowing here. 'pon my soul this was not forecast!

[Sleet30031972]

Oh dear kind of stopped now. That was good! Seeing as that wasn't predicted by anyone I saw though, I live in hope for more this afternoon :-)
