Southeast England & East Anglia - Weather Chat >> 1st Feb Onwards

[john mac]

Winter is probably now over.

 

that could have been the last snow flakes I saw as I come up to the M25 / M20 exit.

 

If something happens in the outputs I will pop back- but the chances are fading.

Come steve that's unlike you to give up on 6thfeb

[10 Days Away]

Snow here in Dymchurch but not laying.... Roll on spring

[Kent Blizzard]

load of crap tbh

[snowsummer]

thats all folks, no more convection the pressure is now to high. will be seriously cold tonight

Oh well. Thats my hopes dashed for the night! Was scrolling through looking for someone very local in hope they'd be saying it was gonna last for hours. Guess its emmerdale followed by bed then!

[Whether Idle]

Graupel showers at Shepherdswell 125m asl NW of Dover. A mighty 1-2 cms of snow here now dusted with graupel (soft hail) which can fall from the shallow cumulus formed as -10 uppers move over the +9c Straits of Dover.

Snowing lightly in Croydon and settling

By the way, Horley (where I actually live) is one mile (max) away as the crow flies:

What makes you think so?

[terryall]

Just been into the Mad thread and there are 7 members, including me, online. Says it all really.

Come steve that's unlike you to give up on 6thfeb

It's a fair comment. The Azores HP is going to kill at least another 10-14 days of Feb unless something changes. It looks dry and cloudy for the forseeable.

 

Yes we can get cold/snow into March as we did a couple of years back. But that is super rare.

The fat lady is certainly clearing her throat...

I've just put the garden light on to go to the bin & everywhere is white! Lol must of came down whilst eating tea.

There were some big showers over the estuary as i came home so it seems that one of those has hit us! Still a very dissapointong cold spell and winter in general with regards to snowfall and like many others i now long for the warmth of spring!!

[throwoff]

The smallest switch and we would have a streamer.

Sad times!

[SMU]

a couple of developing echoes over the estuary on the 7pm radar

[Lampostwatcher]

Tbh this has been one of the worst cold spells I can remember a big big tease close but no cigar again 1cm

Snow depth which lasted 2 hours quite a few snow showers have come and gone but a real let down and a frustrating spell I'm now watching the snow build up in helsinki for my trip soon and will be back for the next cold spell if we get one good luck tonight you might get a dusting

[Daniel*]

What does it take for a snow event these days the likes of Syria even Jerusalem have had a pasting. We have definitely took a step back, everything has gone against us every bloody time. woof woof.

Someone shut down the Gulf Stream. Please.

[Sno' problem]

The latest radar does actually show some ppn building in the Thames Estuary, plus the satellite does show the possibility of some charging from the North Sea... http://www.yr.no/satellitt/europa_animasjon.html 

 

Could be something to look out for, the next few radar runs will be telling:

Yes, ditto. Shame, but hopes are fading fast.

Love the videos earlier, loony tunes ha ha

The latest radar does actually show some ppn building in the Thames Estuary:

Pressure is rather high fingers crossed it develops further -10C 850s help counterbalance it out, it is rare to see non convective E/NE with -10c 850s in the mix, little disheartened following how good it was looking 5 days ago. But it is what it is. This winter has been a marked improvement but it was poor. It is not quite over yet.

[Southender]

Can confirm we have snow falling at the mouth of the Thames. Just a teeze or are we on to something.

[Lampostwatcher]

Talk of a streamer I'm back lol
