The best thing for tonight into tomorrow is to expect nothing and be pleasantly surprised amid anyone has a dusting of snow. At the moment the front to the south is likely to stay off the coast and the snow to north is likely to die out before reaching the likes of Cambridgeshire/Norfolk etc. However in real time things may not pan out this way.

Another glorious day. The car thermometer saying -8 or -9 earlier!

Not expecting snow tomorrow but I guess there is a risk of flurries north of the main band.

A bit too much cloud around for a really cold night here. Only down to -3.1 in the end.

Obviously the cloud isn't thick enough to produce any snow just thick enough to stop the temperature falling too far.

You must be unlucky, someone in the model thread mentioned snow in Chelmsford, so the cloud had something in it for some.

Sorry, didn't finish typing and somehow it posted it's self, must have pressed submit by accident somehow.

Yep i think they do sometimes. Sheltered from snow showers in an easterly, often too far north for battleground snow, don't really benefit from snow showers in an artic northerly etc. 

N London I find a half decent spot for our region to get snow. Last year it was sweetspot in Dec 22 pretty much. Then December 17 which was rain sleet south of the Thames here. Late Jan 2021 I think we missed out London had a good covering sleety rain here. when I lived in Herts was always 1.5-2c colder than by the Thames here Feb 06 I think I saw twice as much snow in Herts& N London as back in Kent from a Channel low and lasted 2 days longer up north of the Thames too! The rare October 2008 snow only settled Central London northwards too I believe Cheshire gap made it there!

 

Nothing here then there's many other north of the M4/ Thames events. Jan 05 I believe there was also a smaller snow event that made it to where I was living 04 to 07 in Herts but missed back home. Prior to this era I remember I was often too far West my mum in Medway would often see NElies deliver snowfalls that narrowly missed Gravesend where I am now and Dartford where I'm from.

It feels like here relies on the 1% perfect set up to see any snowfall were always milder than surrounding areas too which doesn't help nor being flat in the urban Thames flood plain other parts of the SE have more elevation including a lot of North and South London so any marginal setups fail to deliver here even if nearby places get some.

 

I hope we all get a proper snowy Easterly soon I really do!

Unless we see a shift in models this evening any chance of snow tomorrow or from this cold snap seems the have gone! It seems our region is a very hard location to get a decent snow event these days! 

Sahara Desert is better for snow than here🙄

I checked the France Meteo website and the Nord Pas-de-Calais is under a snow warning, whereas everything to the South is under a freezing rain/snow warning. The description states that some areas will start as snow, switch to freezing rain, then back to snow. For the Pas-De-Calais, they are estimating up to 20cm of snow, as it will stay as all snow. Sounds like it could be a real travel mess. 

100 Miles north...and it could have been us!
