[chelsea01]

tomorrow starts dry and chilly

around lunchtime rain moves in on a still southerly wind

temperatures around 2-3 degrees

during the afternoon evening a spit low will head south

as we go into late afternoon we should gain a more favourable wind flow

expect more in the way of snow late evening and overnight

cold east-south east flow more heavier bursts likely kent-surrey essex and nw london

monday

cold easterly wind with a low close to the south east

temps around 2 degrees

still at present going for snow in the south east but will update tomorrow

monday night

chilly easterly flow

looks dry

frost likely

tuesday

still a cold easterly flow

slim chance of some wintry showers

temperatures 2 - 3 degrees

depending on the low set up tomorrow these may look different tomorrow

thanks for your observations john . much appreciated

BBC saying rain tomorrow, hill snow then turning to snow during the evening but one place could get loads somewhere else nothing and it stay as rain ( basically we haven't

a clue)

[lawrenk]

Hope this works OK but attached some photos from my brothers house in Franklin, 15 miles SW of Boston.

2 feet plus of snow and all roads on his estate cleared already!

18z update not good

[manutdmatt1986]

NAE out to midday tomorrow - http://www.weatheronline.co.uk/cgi-bin/expertcharts?LANG=en&MENU=0000000000&CONT=ukuk&MODELL=nae&MODELLTYP=1&BASE=-&VAR=prty&HH=18&ZOOM=0&ARCHIV=0&RES=0&WMO=&PERIOD= So long as the precipitation stays light whilst its too warm to fall as rain it will mean the surfaces aren't too wet for the snow to settle tomorrow evening.

[WillinGlossop]

Snowing proper big flakes yey......

[snowking]

And 18z GFS refuses to budge too much in terms of its rain/snow boundary:

Still suggesting the N and E of the region at greatest risk - 18z NAE precip totals are lower then the 12z ones though not by much.

Less than 24 hours to go and we still can't get a resolution. Looks like it will be a busy thread tomorrow

18z NAE has downgraded again. Rain for the majority by lunchtime. Perhaps some light wet snow late evening. No doubt it will change again overnight though.

[Meggy]

I wonder if curries in the Shetland isles are smaller than those in Suffolk and Clydesdale?

Or the shire counties.....

[manutdmatt1986]

NAE for midnight Sunday. Much as you were - http://www.weatheronline.co.uk/cgi-bin/expertcharts?LANG=en&MENU=0000000000&CONT=ukuk&MODELL=nae&MODELLTYP=1&BASE=201302091800&VAR=prty&HH=30&PRINT=1&ARCHIV=0&PANEL=0&INFO=0&WMO=

Nothing but drizzle here , not even very cold , I don't smell snow coming , i am a few miles inland on the east Sussex coast downland and feel we might miss out , but I really hope I am wrong , cos I love the stuff !

Simon Keeling isn't making much of this event for low levels. I think we're going to have a cold wet day/night.

[steveinsussex]

Ah well. I expected downgrades, was hoping it wouldn't happen but never mind...

[Biggin]

Yes you're right, other pub is right opposite Cinema. Wetherspoons pub is v popular and they do great food.

It is indeed ))

[Vesuvius]

Tom I am 76m asl for the comp

Tom, I've no idea what I am except quite high for SE Essex (bit like being the tallest dwarf at a dwarfs only party) but Paul S says I am a 20m asl above him so I will roll with 96m asl

Cheers

Acc Snow chart for midnight tomorrow.

Says it all really. Its going to be a massive struggle for most to see laying snow I think.

Hopefully the NAE is underplaying it. But we need huge upgrades overnight to make it worthy of lamp post watch.

Thats a relief, he called it completely wrong for me in January.
