Not looking good for central London again, I have brought my snow shield.

I have never seen anything like that before.... hope it means something significant is on the way...

[Snow Queen one]

I notice not many people in kent posting. Gutted at the radar looks as if i am too far east for this chunk of snow. Our part of se england is c**p for snow so far. Hoping for a surprise in the morning but all poss falls of snow in recent weeks have not happened so not optimistic about this time.

Good luck to those who do get it.

Annoying, isn't it?

[Downpour]

I hope so too ppn looks to be taking a more southerly route now

The wind map suggests the winds are kicking nor'easterly in the south midlands... Could be good news for our region...?

[JABWootton]

Coming down in Sterios here between Bedford and Milton Keynes

[final dest]

That's it, Where did I put the cyanide pills.

Just looked up the halo phenomenon

What makes a halo around the sun or moon?

There’s an old weather saying: ring around the moon means rain soon. There’s truth to this saying, because high cirrus clouds often come before a storm. Notice in these photos that the sky looks fairly clear. After all, you can see the sun or moon. And yet halos are a sign of high thin cirrus clouds drifting 20,000 feet or more above our heads.

These clouds contain millions of tiny ice crystals. The halos you see are caused by both refraction, or splitting of light, and also by reflection, or glints of light from these ice crystals. The crystals have to be oriented and positioned just so with respect to your eye, in order for the halo to appear.

That’s why, like rainbows, halos around the sun – or moon – are personal. Everyone sees their own particular halo, made by their own particular ice crystals, which are different from the ice crystals making the halo of the person standing next to you.

This is heading straight for me

Could be bullseye

[john mac]

East London around 3 miles to the east of this u couldn't make it up lol

What part of east london are you?

[Spanner]

Snowing heavily and settling in Milton Keynes.

[ITSY]

More snow now than in the last 22 months. A good inch covering with more showers incoming and warning of a few more tomorrow morning. Given the warning for the heaviest showers isn't until Wednesday, I'm optimistic!

[SMU]

Just keep an eye on the PPN to the east of that main band over Milton Keynes- there is a streamer. will it last.

 

Will it snow in greenhithe! lol

[Lampostwatcher]
