South East and East Anglia Weather Discussion January 2021 onwards

[Dami]

pretty much has snow all the way to 11pm last night, however you wouldn't of know, maybe a few MM on a car. But lovely to see.

Not having to go anywhere today is nice, worst thing about snow is when it melts and freezes.

Hampton ?

That is correct. The main road is still fairly snow covered, though it will hopefully be clear by the time I need to go to work.

Meanwhile, scores on the doors for yesterday...

The Midlands (Especially on the hills) were the big winners.

Looks like the ECM did quite well in the end.

Lows of -3.9c overnight and a very icy start to the day.  Thaw should set in this afternoon and be completely done by tomorrow when the rain arrives.

Look at that chart and how all the S and SE coasts missed out and just had rain,frustrating or what.

This winter looks a bust down here now, like the chances of deep cold easterly receding again.

Bring on the spring warm sunshine at least.

Makes me feel a bit better when you see it like that. The vast majority of our region in terms of area, actually missed out completely!...rare to see London do better than most other places. The onshore flow completely killed it for the South and East of our region. Southend jumped from around -3c to +4c in about 3 hours. What a messed up winter this is turning out to be.

Very frustrating, unfortunately it wasn’t a classic BFTE event, which would have seen most of those areas that missed out get the most snow, as has happened numerous times in the past.

Bit bold to be calling this winter a bust yet, imho. A good 5-6 weeks where proper cold/snow could still occur. It ain’t over yet

[Harry's House]

The only solid precipitation I observed this weekend was a shower of small hail at 0730 am. Missed out once again.

 

[James1979]

Loving the wfh view this morning, crystal clear skies to go with it. Proper winters day.

A1 was horrendous this morning towards Black Cat . Pulled out to overtake a lorry , drifted for about 20 yards and then pulled back in!

 

15cm is pretty good , think we managed about 5cm in Huntingdon

[Polaris]

Absolute blinding Sunday here. 10cm recorded and it’s still very nice a thick outside. Was great to be out yesterday with Neighbours, Dogs, kiddies building snowmen and lots of sledging. 
 

Just what everyone needed I think during these difficult times

Thanks! Not entirely accurate though, Parts of east London showing 0cm there and a 1cm over my part of London, when we actually got about 3/4cm's. 

[NO LONGER POSTING]

Yard a picture this morning.. Maybe 3-4" here 

[danm]

Beautiful, cold morning here in Chingford, NE London with some snow still laying on many surfaces even now - grass still mostly covered, pavements partly covered, most roofs out of the sun. The car was frozen solid this morning. 

Glad that whatever we had last night still largely remains intact even at 11am. Much of what we had yesterday melted in the evening, but what we have left still looks great out in the sunshine.

 

[Freeze]

Nice bright deep blue sky, and 7c. You'd think it was summer just looking out the window.

[Paul Sherman]

Probably got about 6 weeks left until what I call the cut off point for the SE around the 15th March before we start to see it very hard for sustained cold and snow to keep itself on the ground much more than a few hours before melting away in strong sunshine and with the next few weeks probably in the bin already a quick sum up of this winter for SE Essex and probably most of Kent and Coastal Sussex, Suffolk and Norfolk.

8 Ground or Air Frost

1 Graupel Shower for 5 minutes

Winter 19/20 and Winter 18/19 had hardly any frosts and no wintry precipitation as well so am quite confident now we will be staring 46 months of no snow cover in the face by the time Dec 2021 comes around and I can see why the Met Office are stating that snowy winters will become a rarity in the future but I would bring their timescales much further forward than 2040 looking at how things are rapidly changing for parts of the Uk. 

So happy some got deep enough snow to enjoy it yesterday and for it to still be on the ground today though as these will become ever rarer in years to come. Maybe time to move to a much more favourable country if its snow you are after in the coming decades.

Models yesterday also as others have stated were hopeless with the Stall Line some 100 miles further North than most stated, remember some as late as Friday had this system in the Channel, most had the stall line around the London area, none had the stall line across Rutland into the Midlands. 

Going to take a break from Model watching for the next few weeks and have enjoyed the banter on here again this year, will pop back in as the Spring and Summer warmth ramps up the convection and once the first Spanish Plume is forecasted am sure all the usual suspects will be on here then watching the Lightning maps in the Bay of Biscay.

Stay safe all and lets hope we all get let out soon

[Number 23]

Great pictures all round. 

Cracking day here in Chelmsford after an abysmal day yesterday. Unbroken sunshine and even feels warm on the face. 

I'd gladly take this on repeat until Spring. 

Stay safe on the ice rinks in the affected areas!

See you in a couple of weeks when the beast from Yakutsk shows it’s head  
 

Wishful thinking of course

Difference a day can make it’s brisk though !

Enjoyed your rain  snow Polaris?

Dan Holly asked people to post their measures on a twitter post last night. Think he is going by that.

[NO LONGER POSTING]

Winter so far for me out of 10 will go down as a 7 so far.. 

Lost count of the frosts from end of October 

Freezing fog days 7+ 

Falling snow 3 days 

Really I've had my snow fix now and wanting the longer days and sunshine.. 

Could summer 2021 be the 4th consecutive year we breach 35c here?!

[SLEETY]

wierdly we seen more snow in March in the last 10 years,so maybe not the time to write of snow chances yet

 

Still being mocked in the yorkshire thread I see,very strange why they care what we get here or not

Last night showed streamers at least for se Kent now work, so hopefully next easterly draw more will be in the game. Fingers crossed.

There was evidence of some snow here overnight. Not talking much, but a bit like someone shaking some sugar. Read on twitter that next weekend could be a similar run to this one? No thanks. 

Also, this made me chuckle...why use one chart for early Feb!! haha 

Weather charts predict 285-mile band of snow early next month - Bristol Live

Long range forecasts suggest snow across the south of England
