    South East, London and East Anglia regional discussion - 8th February onwards

    It is always going to be hard to tell, a tiny change in the wind direction off the sea could be the difference between 20cm and virtually nothing. Especially this far from the coast.

    The cloud appears to be clearing now and that Lincolnshire streamer is becoming more of a North Norfolk into North Cambridgeshire event. Looking at the radar I think Peterborough should be going under that shower train now. It might continue to push south, or grown in size (north to south) or a new convergence might develop on the east coast that travels this way.

    Thank you.  I will expect nothing not really an area that benefits from easterly.

    At work now in Huntingdon, underneath that frontal band. Just thick high cloud and the occasional cumulus along with some patchy snow. The streamer over Lincolnshire remaining solidly a few miles north of Peterborough.

    Now come on.. you want to screw up my journey home... don’t you...

    What are the prospects for huntingdon later this evening into tonight. Euro4 not sure is a good model has us under orange ?

    What makes me laugh is I watched a BBC forecast just 30mins ago repeating the amber warning for the SE.

    Frustratingly I said in the model discussion thread yesterday that I expected the far SE to only see light snowfall and sadly some member decided to get into a petty argument. None of the models that I looked at supported the idea of an amber warning.

    Hi teits your knowledge is much appreciated in this forum, I remember quite a few years back in the model forum you  corrected them where the snow was going to hit and you got back lash for it. You were spot on and it hit our area like you predicted. We less informative posters need more knowledgable posters like yourself in this forum.

    I would love that much around here, but never seen anything over a foot of snow, around here anyway. Seen 2/3 foot snow in Italy though.

    I lived up in March at the time. Was there for 6 years and I had snow every year. But nothing to that extens before or after.  It’s funny how 15… 20 miles away can get plenty of snow and the area you live won’t even see a flake blow in the wind. Lol

    2010 i believe was the year a small low formed over NE France or Holland in the evening, moved north-ish while expanding in size, then a tad west, and sat over southern england all night ... giving us in west sussex 1ft of snow.  i presume east anglia was too far away to be much affected by it.

    Yeah it was forecast to hit us and we had an amber warning in place but 6 hrs before the event it changed and came down the central belt instead. I couldn’t believe it when the weather showed the whole of England and Scotland covered in snow except a small area in east anglia. Lol

    Yes its a strange old thing the weather, i usually do just slightly better than London here. So if London gets 5-6 cm, I might have 8-10cm around this way.

    As for heavy and deep settled around here the top 3 years that I can remember anyway are as follows:

    1st 1987

    2nd 1991

    3rd 2009

     

    Think it was 2001 or 2002 we had our biggest snow fall in one day we had around 3 foot of snow.  The worst I have ever seen it.

    Places furtherwest do better sometimes though on an easterly, people forget this sometimes. Remember the Polysterene ice pellets that hit Southend in 2009 when everywhere in the SE got piles of snow:?:)

    I know in 2010 the whole country was covered in snow apart from upland in east anglia. We were the only ones who didn’t even get a flake. Lol

    Well here it was certainly very cold, and windy, and it snowed on and off for 4 days. But the end result the night before the thaw was 8cm, think it had been a bit more than that, like 10cm after some heavy showers on Weds evening but I mainly had lots of flurries, some heavy ones, but still only flurries.

    I was surprised to have falling and setting snow for 5 days. We dont normally get it here with an easterly.  as to far north in east anglia but also further inland.

    My sister has one Chihuahua (annoying little runt) and the mess he makes in her garden is disgusting.. I'm constantly having to watch where I step when I go in her garden:bad:

     

    Chihuahua is my hubbys little dog.  He is very small around the size of a 3 month old kitten. So he doesn’t cause a big mess.  And whenever they go it’s cleaned  straight away.  ?.
