London & South East Regional Discussion - 24th January 2013, 06z onwards

[Kent Blizzard]

That sounds about right for your area. Everything else of note likely to be to the North of you and during the late evening but gone by tomorrow morning

Thanks Coast

[snowydayz]

Light snow flurries in Harrow on The Hill, very cold here

[fluid dynamic]

I have faith in the Nae model. It has been pretty good with snow events so far

[Lampostwatcher]

Don't normally watch ITV weather but just showed snow over the whole southeast from 9 till 4am

And several cms mentioned

[Kent Blizzard]

Well this would be nice..

Its all been down to one thing- how far west the shortwave drops across the south of england-

the best runs overnight are the ECM 00z at t24 ( which still has -3 c uppers over the SE at midnight )

this alligns with the NAE-

I think there will be some snow overnight- shortest lived to the south & west of london, longest to the north & east-

maybe depths 2-5cm out that way- with trace - 2cm further into the south & west-

you never know maybe a few surprises- but could go either way

OK, one to watch, Sat Rep analysis of today's front movements:

[Mark wheeler]

John Hammond just said amber warning coming for north London also said big question for south east as a whole but there will be some snow. Sounds like maybe like a short term upgrade maybe

[blackprince]

Hi Morning all

Looking at the radar I was surprised to see the coming ppn heading across the country towards the East,I had thought it was due to come from the NW.I can see why no one wants to gamble on the type and distance it enters our region.I think if you expect rain you can only cheered up if and when you get some white stuff.

Roll on the Febuary reload...

[tight isobar]

AMBER UPGRADES,FROM MET EXTENDING FURTHER SOUTH AND EASTWARD. STILL THINK THERE WILL BE SOME SIZEABLE FALLS, OUT OF THIS FOR ALL LONDON,KENT SURREY,ESSEX AND SO FORTH!.

[Thinon]

13C in January? Does the British winter have no shame?

[Lampostwatcher]

Amber warnings coming soon for north London

Result lol

[stainesbloke]

We're picking up a SE'ly wind off of a pretty chilly continent...could be more snow than I originally thought.

Uh huh........

Yeah and general rule of thumb .. snow can fall up to -1c at 850Hpa and thicknesses can be as high as 537dam as the air is dry and very cold

Could be a case of......if carlsberg now nowcasting!!!

Have you been on the Carlsberg already

A big difference to this time last week when colder and drier air was pulled more and more off the continent as the snow approached. This time the band of precipitation has cold dry air ahead of it which gets pushed away as the snow/rain approaches. No prizes for guessing which one I prefer - cold breakdowns to mild wet weather have no appeal to me at all, in fact quite the opposite

[Suburban Streamer]

Just went outside for a final measure....still got an even 9cms with some 11cm drifts! been a great cold spell

i think i'm gonna spend this final snow event in the 3 counties and ea thread

Good luck to all those hoping to see some snow falling late this eve and overnight

Some of you on here are very easily pleased. It'll all be gone by mid day tomorrow!! Bring on the thaw!!!!!!!!!

[Sussex Jules]

Wow but there is a big bright yellow shiny thing in the sky. Is this some freak weather phenomenen?! Certainly looks like it is going to the wire for tonight, what concerns me more is the gale force winds expected in next week.

[Floatylight]

snow in s /end apparently?

[Lampostwatcher]

Very cold s/e wind

Temp 1.4c

Dew p -1.7c

PPN coming in from the west :-D

[swash]

Not seeing this for the South East at all at the moment, first band is thin and fragmented, second band doesn't look like coming anywhere near the south east!

[Coast]

Morning Jules! I think I'll be asleep and miss it all by the morning, not worth staying up for the potential as it won't really be around to enjoy tomorrow.

Winds are going to become a problem on Sunday onwards, look at the monster coming in stage left:
