Now that conditions have turned right for snow, can that yellow/green blob of precip over London stall and intensify? Pretty please? ?

Light/moderate proper snow finally in W12 - says a lot about this winter that I’m excited ?

Maybe I should jump on the 607!

Make that 50/50 - just need the colder air to dig further south and that heavier blob to the NW to come here to increase evaporative cooling! Edit: Mostly snow now, but stopping ?‍♂️

Probably 70/30 rain/snow here in Shepherds Bush now, fear that’s the best we may get!

More snowflakes and less rain now - milder air moving away south judging by the increased reports of wintry stuff further south? Or something else at play?

Good lord, we have sleet in Shepherds Bush! ?

You have to go into the graphics archive and move to the most recent frame

Glad someone's with me - although there seems to be enough scope for them to build NNW, the overall movement seems NNE - and while I enjoyed a wonderful light-show in the early hours of Wednesday (plus the little bonus cell earlier), I would quite like a prolonged system to move overhead. Fingers crossed I guess!

So, we got a short but sweet cell over central(ish) London about 45 minutes ago (W12) - and now I'm wondering whether the western-most extent of the main body of storms will at least still glance us? All seems a bit too far east, although I may be being rather paranoid ?

As stated

It’s been beautiful here in Acton for the best part of the day, I’ve been watching convection reach it’s limit and drop away. But there’s the odd cloud that looks to be reaching higher now, very pretty, maybe there might be a shower over London at some point this evening. Looking SSW towards the Richmond - Twickenham - Feltham region, there’s the odd bit of convection that looks good

Heaviest snow I think I've ever seen in the last 5 minutes in Acton

Very spring-like shower here in Acton a few minutes ago, suddenly dark, then gusty with heavy rain/hail - and now beautiful clear skies coming in again. I really really want these cold conditions to verify, but if not, I could deal with this kind of spring weather ?

Thanks for your reply Nick. Just light snow here then - can hardly complain, it's been snow all day in margianal west London.... Hopefully our opportunity tonight come to fruition..... SNOW DAY!!! Although I'll be in L'Hôpital tommorow anyway.... bloody epilpsy
