This stream of whatever is not conected to the north sea anymore, got to far west, and seems to be lossing what little strength it had. As there is a trough involved it will probably keep doing something but not much probably. Unless something happens, who knows lol. Been a few slight supprises this winter.

[alexisj9]

Just looked out and it's picked up for a bit here.

[throwoff]

Still falling in gillingham still nought laying! Maybe we can get something tomorrow but I dont see it.

[john pike]

very odd night for snow

anyway fingers crossed for tomorrow

I was using this radar lol, it's the only one that showed precip when the snow was very light. I think they have it set more sensitive to lighter ppn lol.

[Bluebreezer54]

Tried to sleep but couldn't, not weather related.

What is weather related though is its still snowing lightly here, but just a dusting on some surfaces

[ryan93]

10p flakes coming down quite rapidly an settling on all surfaces

[john pike]

updated fax

trough still there

if only it would intensify more

[alexisj9]

Just seen a grittter, are we missing something or is it to prevent ice?

[ZONE 51]

I have made a snow risk map up, although not as much is on radar as i expected at the moment, the map is for all of Saturday and i am expecting snow showers around throughout. The amounts estimated using the models are local isolated amounts, it's difficult to say where would get what but can be estimated to a reasonable level. 1mm shown on a precipitation/rain chart = approx 1cm snow - depending on air temps/dew points to what size flakes fall can make a difference to what amounts settle.

Most places seeing light snow showers not amounting to anything, scattered amounts of a dusting/sprinkle, with some places in Kent for example seeing most snow.

Yup... seems to be moving over Central London now, still nothing to talk of here, so unless it suddenly goes mental, it looks to be the limit of it.

hi blackprince

all we can do is radar watch at mo

the trough is around tomorrow still so still going for snows showers pm

nice fax for sunday afternoon

see the trough go through between this time

i like this chart though

John, keeping check on Sunday looking interesting! see the upper warm front on the FAX from the east, find this interesting.

If anyone wants to know what that is read this:

On occasion, an advancing warm front rides up over a pool or layer of cold air trapped on the ground. A station on the ground does not experience a change of air mass because the front passes overhead. This is known as an upper warm front.

Sometimes, the surface of the cold air that is retreating ahead of an advancing warm front is almost flat for some distance ahead of the surface front and then steepens abruptly. The line along which the surface of the retreating cold air steepens sharply is also called an upper warm front.

or anything else about fronts/weather see link below

Much to my suprise light snow is now turning to moderate snow in this here location

[ZONE 51]

Seeing jet black small clouds against an orange cloudy sky at the moment this usually indicates an activated sky.... or do i just have an over active imagination!

Had some mostly light snow shws around Friday on and off this around the Esher area Surrey.

At the moment some very light snow at times, windy and freezing.

[ZONE 51]

There is some FIZZLE on the radar...

Fizzle = dissipating precipitation. I made that word up not read it before so can add to the new words?
