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

[Sussex Jules]

Not here it won't but higher parts of Yorkshire and areas like higher ground in Shropshire and derbyshire I can see getting 20in

CWT2012 where do you get your predictions from?

[CWT2012]

CWT2012 where do you get your predictions from?

The intensity of the precip and the speed in which the front moves

Can easily see the Peak District, Dales, Moors etc getting 2ft of lying snow from this before the thaw

[hernebaylooby]

sooo cold here! does anyone have a reading for herne bay?

[Blackie]

Told you we'd get a metre somewhere

A Kentimetre, perhaps...

[Flaked Queen]

In Uxbridge?

Uxbridge looks to be in the yellow zone as far as I can see.

There are some showers forming ahead of the front, could reach the London area in 30-45 mins if it keeps going.

on my iPhone the app says amber I can assure u . Rain is yellow and so is ice but the snow symbol is amber but when I swipe to look at it the amber is above ! Only saying what my app says Edited January 25, 2013 by snowlady36

[hernebaylooby]

erm why are we on amber? are we going out with a bang?

[Weathizard]

My prediction:

Watford north 5cm before the thaw

London centre south - at best a sleaty mess with some parts getting the odd cm or 2.

And there is 0% chance that 2-3ft is going to fall up north, just silly to say that, 15-20CM Birmingham north with perhaps some hilly areas receiving around 30CM locally. Can't actually look at the charts right now as I'm on mobile but hope people don't get there hopes up for lying snow in our region. (Central/south)

[fluid dynamic]

God this thread was so depressing yesterday i was about to break out the prozac . Thanks everyone, now ive been laffing so much ive got tears rolling down my legs

[blackprince]

What direction will the big dark band of ppn ( middle of the channel by Guernsey ) end up going ? as I have weak SE winds over east kent.

[crazy_diamond]

Well, if its red then amber, then it will go green, it its just amber then it will go red!! Traffic lights, that is!!

Oops, sorry that was in reply to hernebaylooby's post!

Mad to think there is a 10 degree difference in temperature, between our region and the South West region at the moment.

the met office website five day does the same. it's automated and i think must be some sort of software bug. and the apps are probably fed info from that five day page.

i'm guessing...

Try this site, it has loads of different weather station readings:

(It isn't the normal MetOffice site, it is a weather observation website.)

[alexisj9]

Is the blob in the Chanel coming from france part of the front or something else?

[blackprince]

Thanks prince , brrr i thought it was a bit chilly out there!

We took the dog for a walk earlier and cut the walk short because we got cold,it had dropped by 2c while we were out.Bet the school run was cold lol

[Lampostwatcher]

Temp 0.8c

Dew p -2.7c

[afcone]

Temperature has plummeted. Working from home today so I thought it would be possible to go for a run (too dark and slippy the last few evenings) and any health benefits I got from my jogging were outweighed by the hypothermia!
