No - Found the URL somehow, can't remember how but anyway it just came up with an expiry error - wanted the North West one that friday night 17th Dec when we got pasted, guessing you got blasted with the channel low the following day.
Yes I remember it well! Woke up at my mates house with almost a foot of snow cover, he couldn't be bothered to drag his cart around in the snow so I did it for him and he let me keep all the tips lol

I wished i could find the November / December 2010 regional threads but looks like they have been deleted.
I've just tried looking myself, with wayback machine and Google cache, maybe the thread name has been changed and is now unsearchable?

Currently 16c in Pitsea, bedroom is 21c but actually feeling chilly after a room temperature of 26-27c for the last few weeks! Doesn't help having a cold though

I think they are now collectively known as Asperatus but may be wrong...
Do you know the reason behind the name change?
Edit: You are right, according to Google the name was changed back in 2009

Nice Undulatus! Are they still called that, I think they might have changed the name.....
Altostratus undulatus, pretty sure they've not changed the name

That's a pretty bland statement, what's the reasoning for not wanting to leave, possessions perhaps?
For me it's agoraphobia, but that's a discussion for another thread, I would do all I could to prepare before hand, such as sandbagging, bring electrical items, food, valuables upstairs and torches or candles in case the power goes out, then wait for the water to subside, as long as its below 2 feet, any higher and I'd be scared of being trapped and having to be rescued from a window or the roof.

The plastic straw thing is a farce. It’ll take 4 years to do that and then another 4 years to ban plastic lids or something.
I agree, if they're going to take action they need to sort the lot out at the same time, although I'm not sure what they could replace plastic lids with, plastics are 1000 years to decompose and the equivalent, polystyrene can take much much longer.

Been very lucky so far today with the showers in Benfleet, dodged every single cell, no doubt will crop something later though!

It has been windy but no sign of the forecasted 45 miles per hour to 55 miles per hour winds.
Same here currently in Pitsea, have had a few 30-40mph gusts earlier in the day but very quiet right now.

Naming storms isn't for everyone, and at the same time the Irish met/ and UKMO can get it wrong, but it gives the general public a little more awareness, it's easily shareable on social media with a name to spread awareness. The trouble we may find is when Storm "Grace" hits and causes no issues, Storm "Harry" May hit, and give major impacts, this makes it inconsistent, and if there's enough named storms that don't have much of an effect, when something damaging comes along people aren't going to take notice.

Just checked my accuweather app - what exactly is ‘a sprinkle’?! Never seen nor heard it before other than describing snow?!
Looks like you could get a localised shower of these

Before the downwelling ends it'll end up in australia, and they will damn well end up stealing our cold

Unfortunately an easterly is looking unlikely, they have all failed to materialize this winter so far, no beast from the east
Looks like we'll have to put up with the guess from the west until then, hopefully more than just a dusting tonight though, unlike the last 2 tuesdays!
I actually had a brief snow pellet shower yesterday shortly after 3pm, for all of about 30 seconds lol

I'm a Meteorology student so I find your post to be quite patronising.
The point that I was making was that we in East Anglia, particularly the eastern side were due to receive snowfall. There were many posts yesterday and earlier today that referenced the fact that the western regions would have marginal conditions due to the fact that the precipitation started there just before dusk, those same posts also stated that precipitation would be snowfall for longer over the eastern regions.
What occurred was heavy snowfall over the central regions i.e. Cambridgeshire, Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and light drizzly rain over Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex. You have just stated yourself that the event did not come to pass as predicted.
We have now transitioned to snowfall, I don't know what will come with this but at the moment it is not lying aside from on the grass. If the event on Thursday were affecting me I wouldn't be as downbeat.
Like stated from previous days, this event was so marginal it'd affect some areas and not others, try and chill out about it, it's not the end of the world! Regarding Thursday there's still a lot to be sorted within the forecast, I've just seen some people posting that we're looking between 5-10cm, yet some models want to give rain to the SE, and snow to Norfolk, the weather will do as it wants, Just keep the faith!

According to radar the band is back building in intensity, still not heavy or persistent enough here to settle though at 2c, ground is also very damp too
-
Snowing in Pitsea so should be about to turn to snow in Southend within the next few minutes, not great intensity though, I've not yet got a dusting and the main band has already passed me lol
-
Anybody know how often the dam lines on meteocentre update? I thought they updated in time with pressure, but the lines are still the same since I posted at 6am?!
-
528 dam line has now cleared the south coast on the latest pressure charts

South East and East Anglia Weather Discussion Sept 2019 onwards

Posted · Edited by Essex Easterly.
I remember that event well! Had quite a bit of thundersnow overnight during a thick covering, which hit the local grid and took the power out, after the clouds had cleared and with a bright moon the scene was amazing with light reflections all over the place, made the night seem quite light and eerie!
