South East and East Anglia Regional Discussion 11th March 2013

[BarnetBlizzard]

Boring and dry up here in North London, bit windy and nippy though.

[Coast]

I have just returned home having failed to make it into work in East Grinstead today. The traffic came to a halt in whiteout conditions between Ardingly and Turners Hill. After waiting for 30 mins I had enough and came home. It appears that the streamer combined with frontal snow is enhancing falls up there. Drifting across the road as well.

It seems to be following you home too Ed, everyone here at work thinks it will die out soon!

[Jan_Bromley]

Hasn't really stopped here. Brief lulls that's all.

I really think Met O should update their warnings

Visibility is very poor here

Sounds like I'm going to have an interesting drive to bluewater today lol

[Stevieray1]

Dark clouds around here in Chatham but it hasn't snowed for awhile

Come up the road.... It's still snowing in Rochester. Quite light at the moment

[snowblues]

WOW!! Another intense shower,with brief 50p flakes mixed in.

[steveinsussex]

No, not one of those fellas, only Wolverhampton, Kempton and Southwell fortunately!

Used to go to Plumpton years ago and boy can it rain. When the S.Downs disappear, run for cover. Many times had shelter behind the Tote building in the middle of the course. Made the mistake of wearing decent shoes/suit once, got absolutely caked in mud, never again!

Anyway,back to the weather!

Coming down heavier now here in Anerley, actually heavier than the stuff we had the other week!

Regards,

Tom

And lingfield

[london-snow]

Spoke to soon snowing here in morden and is coming down fast

[Hammer]

Here, just to far west to be getting the showers from East make it here. Also the snow to south not to far away but looks like we will be to far north to get anything from that.

We have snow, teensy tiny flakes but settling.

You forgot Lingfield and Dundalk Tom! Slipping mate!

[Kentspur]

Beefy snow shower over Essex about to land in South East London probably zone 3-6:-)

[Chris101]

A bit of a break here now from the last hour and a half, school run was awful, cars sliding everywhere, i wanted to walk but we had a huge model of a volcano to take in and a baby buggy to push through almost whiteout conditions.

[Heisenberg]

_{Nothing at home in Hatfield, and only very light flakes in Southwark......Whats likel for the Herts area today...does anyone know please?}

[nanu]

think its gonna be one of them days here where you look out and nothing, the next its blizzard like.. make yourself a cuppa and its nothing again..

[Tom Montalbano]

And lingfield

Oh, thats a serious senior moment there, thank you! How could I forget leafy Lingfield? We're not fans of all-weather racing in the office at work, especially the ones that are floodlit, can mean a graveyard shift!

Regards,

Tom.

[Southender]

Plenty of showers moving through here in Southend so far. Got a light covering on most surfaces. Really impressive when it comes down heavy in that wind. Had a 37mph gust and horizontal snow about 20 mins ago.

Temp -1c

Dew -3c

And here it comes again!...

[Met4Cast]

A few flakes blowing around in the wind but thats how, how disappointing

[Whereisthesnow?]

Intermittent bursts of heavy snow and then nothing. It's all very dramatic.. Here we go again.

[SMU]

HI paul-

We are on your 'line' of shower trains- Reports of 1cm so far in greenhithe seem about right-

A bit of lull after the next one moves through- but a big express streamer sinking south over suffolk currently-

Lets hope we dont get dry slotted later-

[snowedout]

Snow is teasing us here again (between Sittingbourne and Faversham) as it has done all winter through, and I've told it I'm not going to play this time!!! I am refusing to get excited about the possibility of even half a centimetre, and although there have been scattered flakelets fluttering around outside since around 7.15 this morning, I am pretending not to notice in the hope that they will up their game and work harder and produce more and more flakes Doesn't seem to be working, though, because there is no sign of anything white outside except my lovely snowdrops. But I am not going to curse the snow, or the weather in general or become despondent because I am not playing the snow-game anymore (who am I kidding?)

[Eye of the Storm]

Intense shower here at the moment, blizzard like. Everywhere is white.

[Katiewombat]

Going to miss high Wycombe isn't it. To far north :-( please someone tell me I am wrong.

[Whereisthesnow?]

What's its like around Bromley/Elmstead Woods area?

Think the Shower Streamer is winning the battle against the Frontal Snow Steve tbh, could be an interesting 24 hours in favoured spots.

Another Biggie about to deliver. Here she comes!
