You read my mind

METO are going for a streamer to form. Looks like a Thames streamer tries to setup looking at the other frames but nothing more than patchy showers.

Still just about snowing GP, I don't think it's going to amount to anything though!

Yup, it was snowing... I even heard it on the conservatory roof!

[nanu]

Everyone, forget snow for tonight, apart from the light flurries, or odd flakes floating around, the Beeb have been bang on the money all week. So, close the curtains and have an early night

exactly.. dont know why your all lamp post watching

[john pike]

[snowbob]

because we want to

better for winter to go out with flurries than rain

Agree jp

[Bluebreezer54]

I often wondered about that Sara !!

[snowbob]

[john pike]

the updated fax chart has a trough added to our east

this is where the showers being blown in are coming from

some very low uppers tonight especially in kent

so showers around

how much is questionable

radar patrol again tonight

some very low minimums if the clouds clear tonight

just wanted to repost this

noone is expecting heavy snow

but nice to see the old flake or 2 for now

my main day is fri night some

more on saturday

Well with the promise of some snow this week and possibly on my birthday (thanks JP) and on well into March I thought it would be a good time to re-post the Steve Murr Snow Scale:

0- Nothing / Nada / just curtain dust + flies around the outside light

1- Odd pellet here & there- however we can mentally confirm there are 'flakes'

2- visible light snow falling- not visible to the lampost yet ( unless you stand underneath & obscure the light)

3- flurry level- makes light blue on the radar & a few flakes seen across the lampost

4- we can confirm snow falling without staring at the light- Can confirm to friends & loved ones its snowing via text etc

5- Status 2- moderate flurry, its fine snow at the moment still- it looks quite hard in terms of snow falling however its not amounting to anything

6- proper flakes falling- you will see them now- the odd flake mixed in with the moderate fine snow

7- transition to normal flakes all complete- moderate snow outside

8- 20p flakes going at a steady pace now- accumulating around 0.5cm - 1cm per hour

9- heavy 20p Snow - visibly accumulating + 1cm per hour

10- entry level heavy snow arriving- 50p flakes fluttering in the 20p flakes.. awaiting the beast...

11- 50p flakes nearly transitioned over- we can call it heavy settling snow 2cm ++ per hour

12- Very heavy snow inch per hour all 50p flakes

13- Blizzard- combined with +40 MPH wind-

I'm going away for a few months at the start of next week. I can promise you that it will be snowiest period the SE has seen since records began.

Whilst the focus has been on the Thames maybe its the Wash that some of us should keep an eye on.

Far more evidence from the above suggests its the Wash rather than the Thames that could see more in the way of snow.

[Buzzit]

All I will say is it feels fricken freezing outside

[snowblues]

I'M going to go for the 7 to poss the 8 on the Murr scale.10 if we get a streamer.

Check the radar in suffolk, I think it may be happening further south.

hi eye you forgot this fax

would have crossed the whole area by then so ALL of the area

not just anglia will see something

nae earlier showed a streamer across the part of the south east so ignoring them for now

[Kentspur]

All the best people are born 30th March!

My nan my aunty and my cousin down under had their 80th 50th and 18th bdays on this date 6years ago was amazing!

[john pike]

these are still cold

not saying much on these but still under an easterly flow

think uppers will not be cold enough for snow

some cold nights to come from these charts as well

the 528 dam air is gone as well

[Sara]

I often wondered about that Sara !!

Changed it now. So no more confusion lol :-)

[Sno' problem]

Nice 'blobette' of ppn heading SW through Essex right now, seems to be building very nicely as well... Maybe West London isn't out of the running for a dusting!

[Naturist-Holiday.com]

Persistant light snow here in Suffolk.......

Bitter outside

NH

[john pike]

would be interesting

[Alpine glow]

Does anyone know what the precipitation is falling as over Brighton right now? I am in Tun Wells but need to drive to Brighton tomorrow afternoon - I am sure I will be fine.
