South East and East Anglia Regional Discussion 10th March 2013

[john pike]

Knew it, I looked at the model runs yesterday and thought there might be something coming along Tuesday night into Wednesday. Close to ramp mode at the moment

Note - Ramp mode will be enabled when Danish blob makes landfall. Preferably delivering a couple of packs of bacon to my house

hi mate same here

ukmo next run should be interesting

plenty of precip to the north east the frame before

[SMU]

Estuary just starting to fire little blobs now SE of Sufflok coast...

I would be happy for the 430 landing of the first flurry here-

Hmmm, a little bit of shear never goes amiss!!!

Yes indeed!

Right, snizzle gone, now have light snow flurries but actual snowflakes. Also the cloud sheet is starting to show weakness, a few rays of light and patches of blue sky appearing now.

[Met4Cast]

Yup looks like the first few showers are starting to initiate, give it a couple of hours and we should be approaching Streamer territory!

[Mark Neal.]

Few flakes blowing around in the wind. A raw day here

[Eskimo]

Convection kicking off across East Anglia!

[sarah7meme]

Well done Steve on posts and hope jp your doing ok

What's the chances I won't be able to get out of lyminge for dental treatment in morning?

Please say no chance!

[Tom Jarvis]

I hope I'm in the furring line of the streamer but I think I'm going to be two far south

[tight isobar]

Am doing the happy (champagne infused) snow dance! Having a lovely Mothers day, supping champagne and no one, I repeat, NO ONE is moaning at me for flicking through radars, monitoring NW threads etc happy days!

I've also just made another bet with my brother that he will get a snow day either Monday or Tuesday (he's a teacher), probably a bit hasty, but some child keeps topping up my glass.....

[london-snow]

Skys are really getting dark here in twickenham looks like something might start up.

excuse spellings,posting from phone...this thing spells for itself if not checked with vigor.

[VillagePlank]

Is someone at the ruggers? Brightening up here in Rochester.

Sounds like a perfect Mother's Day....enjoy! Feels a bit like Christmas Eve, drinks, good food and waiting for the snow

[Laurence Hill]

Sometimes think this is the best part - the build-up

[chionomaniac]

Temp still 3.3ºC here, dew point 0.8ºC.

The warmest it will be for a few days - occasional drizzle so far today.

[snowking]

After the snow that fell this morning just some snow grains on and off over the past couple of hours.

Looking at the latest satellite imagery though some nice convection beginning to kick off over the North Sea. Could end up being a very interesting 24 hours or so for the whole of this region.

As outlined in the previous post, the majority of the convection (given the alignment of the flow) looks centred around the Estuaries....however, whilst this may be where the highest totals occur, showers are likely to be scattered in between the main convergence zones too. A decent covering for many overnight I would suspect at this stage

Currently 1.3c with DP -0.8c here

Totally agree the models showing -10 uppers...the upgrades/downgrades...emotional rollercoaster of a potential cold/snow event...even in March...cannot beat it for weather in UK imho...............Fantastic build up...Lets hope this delivers even for a few days ....bearing in mind we are in March in 2013...not 63 or 47.

[GoonerGregg77]

Great excitment on the thread, I love the anticipation brought on by others, it's brilliant!

Currently we have Snizzle with a cold NE wind, temp 2c.
