We must be desperate if we are torturing ourselves with French model output. 

I've nothing against the French apart from the fact that in summer, they hog all the storms and stop them from crossing the channel (ironically..). Now they're stealing our snow. For a country that's joked about being good at surrendering, you'd think they'd surrender the snow to make up for the storms.. but no!! *face palm*

I failed completely like the idea of cannes though.. kronenberg in particular 

Maybe the snow will make its way across the channel on a small boat

JFF that perturbation would have the South under 20cm of snow, no other model or run showing anything remotely close to this one though haha

I’ve always loved the French

Ooh GFS!!!

This shows an upgrade in cold but the low going south. Dry and frosty in most parts if this comes off.

Amazed how quiet it is in here! Appreciate there’s uncertainty but there’s a chance. ️ 

[SE, London and East Anglia Weather Discussion - Dec 2023 on]

Another disappointing Country file forecast. Charts suggesting uppers of -10 -12 over Kent tomorrow and yet a ground temp of 5! 

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

Heavy snow Sittingbourne with more to come according to the radar!

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

Absolutely chucking it down in Sittingbourne and radar looks great!

Still fancying Medway overnight? 

Nope I think we are pretty much done. Few light showers but I suspect that’s it.

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

Right no late one for me, I can’t see much more developing to be honest. Any showers I suspect will be very light. It was good while it lasted. ️?

I feel we need to see this band (red) clear through and get out of the way and then we will see the heavier convective showers (yellow) over Norfolk slowly head further southwards down the north sea

Once the band in red has passed that will be the end. Then welcome dry cold days ahead

Snows coming down in Gillingham 

And here in Sittingbourne. Need some more yellow echos

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

Coming down well in Sittingbourne 

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

Dutch radar at 19:00 uk time. Can we take this seriously? I’m hoping it intensifies as it comes across the North Sea.

Thoughts anyone??

BBC, Meto and Euro 4 all looking like 5pm onwards a build up of accumulations. 

I would expect 10cm for some of us overnight, though it really will be the last gasp of this event.

Really as much as that in places! Is this the band showing on the Dutch radar?

looks like 21:00 landing North Kent if it is this.

Wind is now NE here in Sittingbourne

I know we call it the TSS or Thames Snow Streamer but by rights it should be called the DPCZ (Dengie Peninsular Convergence Zone) 

That unique part of Essex and its shape perpendicular to the Coast sees winds from 3 different heights at 600mb/700mb and the Steering flow converge to create lift against the land (frictional drag effect) and you find showers will always form in the same place (eg SE Of Clacton) and then spread WSW into the London area and SE London and if strong enough parts of Surrey and Hampshire.

I am seeing a decent window around 9pm until 3am tomorrow morning and checking on the charts atm

Arpege agrees with some decent totals into SE London and NW Kent.

 

This would align with what I just posted about and the anticipated snow showing on the Dutch radar!

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

So take a look at the Dutch Rader for the next 24 hours. Shows snow all day on and off for the south east however at 21:00 a larger band again.

 

Any thoughts?

I stayed up all last night ,finally went to bed at 5.30 am . I got into bed & I was actually laughing at myself for being such a donut ,checking for snow . I've felt like All day today , what's even more hilarious is that I'll probably do the same again tonight . My mates think I've proper lost the plot .... I think they're right !! 

Snap lol! I often question myself regarding snow watching! I stayed up till 3 last night and was thinking of calling it a night at 23:30 however there are signs of hope starting to pop up.

[South East and East Anglia Weather Discussion February 2021 onwards]

Call it a night or give it another 30min? What to do.....
