South East and East Anglia Regional Discussion 8th February 2013>

[Tom Jarvis]

Will them thundery showers reach me I hope so as been a while since I had a good thunderstorm

[snowrye]

Had enough of this crap winter for our region,so many ifs and butts,marginal this n that,even the west country have done better than us,and we're only a few miles from the continent.got to agree with other posters,sorry if this offends,but roll on spring,been let down more times than a bouncy castle

[HammerJack]

Can't wait for temperatures to rise and some lovely warm sunshine to appear ...... fed up now with grey skies, rain and very cold winds.

Roll on Spring

This winter does seem really dull. It's nice when you wake up in the morning with a crisp frost and clear blue skies. That's my second best winter preference. :-)

[Tom Jarvis]

Looks like they are heading right for me. Just had heavy hail that lasted 30 seconds and then stopped suddenly

[Summer of 76]

This is the SE and EA discussion thread not the NE America thread.

Go here if you want to talk about weather the other side of the world:

Sorry, I found that rather useful, thanks for posting so i can at least some snow

[Whereisthesnow?]

Sorry. I've been away from the thread. Is it rain now for Sunday?

[Methuselah]

Oh dear! I assured my wee granddaughter that it wouldn't rain or sleet or snow, last night...It did all three!!

[steveinsussex]

Looking at things, I really think there will be a correction of the low about 150 miles south

Can you promise her it won't snow on Sunday or Monday too?

[Karmamel]

Not RAIN!!! Anything but that . Getting depressing now with this weather lark. Still surely it's not set in stone !!! A little chance maybe ...?

[MagicBat]

No one is sure yet.... But dew points are looking slightly high, therefore its edging towards rain/sleet for some parts of our area.

So at the current time, anywhere from London south its looking a wet day and evening of sleet.

Jesus Christ......

The loudest thunder here - dog going mental!

Really? Two miles up the road nothing!

[HammerJack]

Come on peeps lets get our emotions in check other wise it will end up like the model thread. This is a happy / disappointed thread. :-)

[anything-but]

I am that dot near Ilford, Essex, stormy little bugger it is.

Sleet here too...

Managed to just catch this thing as it passed over the M25 by Sevenoaks omw home on the bike.....was not pleasant.

[WillinGlossop]

Flakes earlier intersperced with rain now rain..... Damp n cold..... Yuck..... Like this weekend......

[Tim Bland]

If I can't have a Kent Slapper or a channel low I'd rather have mild weather and an early spring. Can't be arsed with these slider/front stalling scenarios for my area. I have seen 2 inches all winter.

There's plenty of Kent slappers out there your not looking hard enough

Anyone see look east or bbc London? What did they say?

[Methuselah]

What a cracking idea!

Yes it's very isolated. I'm in between Epping and Loughton.

[Guest archiesmummy]

Yep had loudest clap of thunder here too, bout an hour ago, was going to pick the kids up and only just got in now to post it, massive downpour too, lasted 2mins and then nothing!

I know, almost a surreal moment.

The lightning out towards Loughton way, was so bright, lit up the whole sky!

And if you do get pulled-over for kerb-crawling, you can say you were looking for sleet, on your windscreen...

[Fatboypirate]

4.8 degrees here, light sleet as I walked the dogs an hour ago, then turned to light rain, no wind......and now snow till next winter now I think!! Roll on warm sunny days lol

[Whereisthesnow?]

It feels quite mild here.

[Tom Jarvis]

Blob of heavy precip heading right towards me hope to get some thunder
