SE, London & EA - Weather Discussion

Evening all

The first snow in East Ham since the last time.

A good couple of inches based on my dustbin lid measurement so about as unscientific as it gets. One or two children from the carol concert at the nearby church marvelling at the flakes.

It will be interesting to see if this freezes over night or whether the heat island initiates a slow thaw. It did the former in December 2010 but in the suburbs it doesn't usually linger.

Wow, have a look at the chaos on Google traffix, whole SE round London and Kent is res, orange or dark purple.!!

Where abouts are you?

Sorry yes I meant to add that in my profile. I'm in Chingford.

[tight isobar]

And we start ground accumulation snow pepping up now

[Mark wheeler]

Been on the cusp of the heaviest precipitation for what seems like an age . Looks very fine line if it reaches us.

I feel your pain. Have a dusting here but the heavy stuff keeps decaying before reaching us...

Been snowing here in Central London since 7pm. Has been coming down moderate and quite heavy at times! Best snowfall since Feb 2018. This reminds me of the Dec 2017 snowfall

[GeorgeZ]

Earlier picture from our walk around at Box Hill, absolutely beautiful. Now waiting for the heavy stuff to hit home (Datchet). Fingers crossed!

the sign says 'no ball games' does that mean snowballs too

They are useless on Sunday nights, seen it happen a few times, they probably got 1 junior forecaster in that has adjusted the warning zone slightly but doesn't have authority to issue amber they probably have to phone someone higher up at home.

The earlier update managed to include a county far removed from the Southeast, then they altered the county later..both started with an H i suppose!

[Typhoon John]

I definitely just saw some lightning flash off to the East.

I'd say there is about 4cm here. We're now in a gap on the radar but hoping the next blob will reach us as it moves North West. But to be honest, it's already been better than I expected.

[80sWeather]

Moderate snow here in Cambourne settling on all surfaces.

[dubmuffin]

Our pivot point finally got some of the heavy stuff, so at 8.30 went out for a walk. Beautiful out there, just us walking the streets and a few cars slipping. Now we have about 3cm but looks like it's on its way out, unless the pivot point remains the same 

[Severe Siberian icy blast]

It's alot further north west than the BBC weather for 10pm already tbh

[Norfolk_N_chance]

Where is this system expected to head? 

[Snow Queen one]

I am styck on M20 is the snow going to come back before tomorrow early?  I need to know to decide whether i should keep trying to get home or abandon my car till tomorrow and get it back then

[Robbie Garrett]

Whoever runs Southwark Council, Lambeth Council and Westminster Council didn't fancy gritting any of the pavements recently.   Strangely the TfL roads were done last night, albeit with tiny bits of grit, only the high traffic volume is keeping these roads passable.

Apparently Wandsworth Council gritted the pavements (And that's majority Tory Run?)  Oh dear.
