    Anyone think 5c (what I see MetO/BBC forecasting for East London, for example) for the back half of the week is actually slightly overdone? We have a cloudy easterly or nor'easterly, with the continent still cold for the time of year, plus an increasingly frigid North Sea..down to 3-4c off north EA!

    Evening all. Hadn't realised it was an ice day in central London today...can't believe it...think we had over a decade (1997 - 2010: please correct if wrong) without an ice day in the capital proper and now we're getting them in late March. And from what I can make out this month will likely have a lower CET than any meteorological winter month between Jan 1997 and Jan 2010!

    For those of in London who've felt a tad let down today, Raintoday seems to show a reasonably organised train of showers heading toward London. A bit more promising that I could see!

    It's noticeable isn't it. I was thinking...it was around ~2nd October 2011 that we had a shade under 30c, 10 days after the autumn equinox. The sun then was exactly as strong as it now - makes the fact that it settles in the first place seem all the more unlikely!

    Feels like East London was a bit of a 'sweet spot' yesterday! Not often that happens to us!

    Perhaps like snow it tends to harden overnight...

    I'm sure many of us on here have thought wistfully about moving to snowier climes!..I for one miss being a little nearer to the true suburbs rather than zone 3 in London...just a few miles and I can notice the difference in temps and longevity of lying snow and it annoys me! So I definitely empathise with you!

    Not clear what path he took from there to sci-fi horror but perhaps in some way 1963 was formative..

    Not sure if anyone has posted this already, but did anybody else notice that Ridley Scott was credited as designer on the "The Big Freeze" film from 1963?!

    I'm sure that's "the wrong kind of snow" for the rail networks as well!

    -0.2c here in E11...the decimal place suggests a high degree of accuracy but that I can't vouch for!

    Haven't seen the BBC forecasts this morning but I do often find them frustratingly at odds with the MetO detailed forecasts which are updated hourly and presumably should be a reasonable representation of what's to be expected..they show no such thing at the moment!

    Morning Steve. Interesting how low those temps are....very far from an expert myself but struggling to reconcile such a cold night followed by suggestion of "rain" by MetO in London and the SE on Sunday. Wondered what your thoughts are on that?

    Hi everyone. I don't post here too often but think it's encouraging/uplifting (for Londoners at least) that the MetO website was showing sleet for London for Monday afternoon and this has now switched back to snow, heavy for a time in the evenig. Temps also a degree suppressed, so to speak.
  15. jake_83
    Agreed, for us or most of us in the SE it's been none too bad, and looks like we have an impressive month shaping up. On the verge of 4 winters in a row with some decent cold...although it'd be pushing it get a 4th with below average temperatures.
