South East and East Anglia Weather Discussion Sept 2020 onwards

[Kentspur]

With upper air temps upgrading on most runs including this +4c colder on latest 0z GFS the SE has the  biggest upgrade to uppers of anywhere in the country! From no snow to a nice covering for many on this latest GFS run for New years eve, if we can't have fireworks let us make snowmen. 

Will be interesting to view the GEM snow charts shortly as they've consistently showed similar snow accumulations lately if probably overcooked.

Perhaps the BBC video was on to something yesterday when it mentioned the possibility of snow for the SE and EA on Thursday comin?!

Heavy frost this morning, something wintry coming in from the West ?

Some snow would be good to end this crappy year, but unfortunately I've been told my dad is going to die, so gutted. 2020 the year of loss.

Was frosty when I went to bed last night, so I was expecting to wake up to a lovely sunny morning with a hard frost..... Nope I woke up to a rain shower instead, and now everywhere is dripping wet once more  

Really hope we can get some of the proper cold uppers over us soon, this marginality is more often than not just a wet mess.

Lethal paths here this morning, where it was dry and froze last night, it looks like it’s had light rain this morning and that’s frozen on the top, one foot out the door this morning and I nearly went a*se over t*t. 

[Great Plum]

Grey and cloudy here in Reigate... I see the forecast is for rain later

[lottiekent]

Morning

As expected, rain overnight and I expect more to come.

For your sanity, don’t go in the Midlands thread, though there are some nice pics in there if you do fancy it.

Not all happy in there though, with some getting plenty of snow and others just up or down the road seeing rain. Hate a marginal set up!

got to go and try and re mend my chicken run, as its collapsed due to my bodge job but i dont want to get iced fingers , everything is frozen ,even due to the bird flu now my chickens are even locked up like us, and they are not happy, all freeloading  need to search for my gloves, sky very white looks very Christmassy though

[clark3r]

Just looked at the radar some bright echoes just to the west of me, reports of snow at Salisbury, wondering if a chance we may get some if the heavier outbreak heads this way, bbc and met do not have any snow symbols at for me in the next 10 days

Both parents, that is heartbreaking, how are you coping? I hope you get snow soon, if it can bring a smile to your face. According to posts in the MOD thread there will be more opportunities after today.

not once has the met office app or bbc app shown any snow for the last 2 weeks and none for the next 10 days either. They both have temps averaging at 6c...BBC norfolk this morning have said there is no hint of any snow for the far east anglia this week. If there was to be any it would be rain and sleet....

Apparently Weather Quest have said there is a small chance but the current sea temp of 9c would be rain ...if anything came of it would be much further inland

ah well you never thought you would learn about chickens being locked up as well as us lol, but its very frosty out there, suns out over the fields, but my little pinkies will get cold 

[Gowon]

Looks like we had a hard frost this morning. I'm eagerly waiting to see if that band of ppn will give a any snow (if it makes it here)

@lassie23 Sorry to hear about your dad.
