Sorry Marie dont know why its done that.

Light Rain here, back edge of the front is ok but the main risk area has seen nothing wintry

Ok change of plan, it's late and I don't want to go through and delete half the thread tonight, so will leave in situ as there's nothing anyone needs to get upset about really (from what I can see, feel free to report posts if there is something out of line I've not spotted!)

But obviously, as the others have said, time to move on, good luck tonight for those on a flake hunt  

[Hotspur62]

Just been moderate rain here since about 6.45pm and don't expect much change during the night .  Temp about 4 degrees and think will probably get a bit of sleet in the morning before front clears late morning tomorrow. A case of close again but no cigar for us in SE. Looks like it is on to the next search for colder weather which seems possible later in Feb. A lot of positive signs in strat thread for the PV to finally be bashed up which could have positive implications fo the UK and hopefully us in the snow starved SE !!!!

GFS says maybe Sunday ...

back to tonight, precip really not heavy enough + dew point not budging to make the night anything but a damp squib for next few hours, though chances of some wet snow increasing in the wee hours IMO 

[Kent Blizzard]

Sunday is a strange one, would need a huge temperature drop but we've seen it before!

I'll probably try and stay away from here that day lol

[Swave Snow]

Precipitation is picking up again to the west of London it would seem from the radar.

But dew points and temps are still going to have to drop I imagine for us to see snow

[Sno' problem]

Temperature and DP have actually gone up to 4.2ºc and 3.9ºc!
A warm sector seems to have appeared, but the ppn does seem to be rebuilding to the west of London.

[Buzzard]

Been in the darker shadows all evening on the radar, not one flake of snow though, I suppose possibly Luton airport might get a bit. 

This has been well over hyped though.  

[Sno' problem]

Have to agree, but if the front continues to stall and keep intensity, then those to the East of the region might get some flakes falling still. If anything DOES settle, it is unlikely to last long as things stand.

Indeed another clang of the nail into the coffin fuelled nonsense of a winter

Night all enjoy ......minus the derogatory language you aimed at moi.... Its all in jest that you are ignoring anything thats happened in the rest of the country..... Like i said enjoy your weather that is coming....

Hi Willinkent as I think you used to be, are you missing the flat lands of Faversham, must be where you learnt that dodgy French . Hope you're enjoying living up that hill in Glossop    

[Cheese Rice]

The top of the shard has disappeared, indicative of a falling snow line?

[Sno' problem]

Possibly, the radar is now saying sleet to the West, North and a patch to the South of London.

But it must be a heck of a lot colder up at the top of that!

Half of the shard has now disappeared must be the snow line.

Good'o... might be worth another peek out of the window shortly.

 

But the ppn is starting to make it's way East faster and faster now.

Four hours on from my last post and it is still raining and the temperature remains at 5c

Snow my a**e! Rain as per usual. 

[Cheese Rice]

It's reappeared and pretty much stopped raining.

 

Those lucky enough to be above 150M in central London saw snow tonight well done! My paltry 11 floor Thames facing room was clearly no match.

Has anyone reported snow at all, let alone in London?

(EDIT: Latest radar shows the ppn steaming East at a rate, it has now pretty well passed me.)

I hope those to the East manage to see something... Night all!!

[Captain Shortwave]

Well it is 3C with light rain/drizzle this morning, the radar does suggest a wintry mix on the very back edge so maybe a few wet flakes before it clears here.

[snowfish1]

As per usual damp drizzle here in Whitstable. Another let down. Getting used to 'em. Can't wait to kick this winter up the backside now tbh 

[TheMoonman]

Looks as though it's been drizzle all night. 

I'm done for this winter. I shall be back in August for the Northern hemisphere ice thread
