When South East gets forecast snow we get... Rain

When Midlands gets forecast flooding and rain, they get... Snow

I know the feeling, we haven't even had a dusting of snow this winter. I've literally seen a bit of light snow and that's it.

Sunday looks good for the majority of the SE! Up to 10cm in places I'd say.

The top gust on the weather station up there is much higher than Langdon bay.

My dad has a station with an anemometer on the roof...will ask him in the morning what his maximum gust was.

If you’re looking for some decent snow videos head over to the north west thread - this is a still from a video posted there. It’s mesmerising ....

To be fair there’s great ones in the Scotland thread and Wales thread too. 

One day people will be coming in the SE thread to watch these types of videos...keep the faith

I have a sleet video if anyone in Scotland is interested

Tempted to stay up for the squall line, reckon less than an hour and it will be in my location

[Sno' problem]

Wow, the heavens have truly opened!! Torrential rain and wind thrashing things around.

[Hammer]

Looks pretty damn heavy rain near Leighton Buzzard right now.

[Captain Shortwave]

Rain has arrived here now. A real distinct band and there could be some very heavy bursts of rain and strong winds. Interestingly the back edge is showing a wintry mix at the moment.

Tomorrow and Friday luckily look to be fine and sunny, but chilly with a keen NW wind.

possible snow this weekend. Don’t expect much again but the risk is there.

So at T80 we have these from the ECM, GooFuS and I CON Models - 

Lets count down the downgrades over the next 3 days and watch how it slips into France or heads north and gives us rain.

Chances of these charts happening around 1% Lol

 

[saint]

Very heavy rain and strong gusts here all of a sudden. 

[Freeze]

Seriously windy out there it's raining sideways, and temp has dropped 1c in literally minutes..

[UxbridgeSnow]

Holy wotsits, the rain and wind have really picked up. Sounds like a freight train rushing past. Will have to check peak gust tomorrow. West London area.

I thought you said you had a vid of sleet from Scotland, so I put,

Sleet in Scotland, snow in the Midlands, is the weather broken. Lol.

[yamkin]

Very heavy rain and gusts have also picked up. Temp 8.3C

[Stu_London]

heavy rain here, very gusty - have had to go and move the wheelie bins back into position twice now

[80sWeather]

Wild sideways rain here in Cambourne

[Stu_London]

might be a bit of sleetyness on the back edge for some of the more northern members of our region - air temps and dewpoints are not particularly impressive but intensity and low heights (around 970mb) are really having an effect tonight. 

[LightningLover]

Line going through here. Wind hasn’t really increased, but we have some moderate rainfall.

[yamkin]

The temp has dropped from 8.3C to 5.9C in 20 mins

Pffff wet snow. Give me dry powder snow from an Easterly any day. Though sadly that happens once every 30 years
