East Anglia & South East Cold Spell Discussion

[maidstone weather]

I have never got up so quick in my life.. BUT.. That is definitely rain - not even sleet!

It was snow on the local news when they were live 5 mins ago.

[SteveCoops]

Spent more time on this site and watching radar than doing work today Thing is it means I have to stay a bit late to get stuff finished - hope central London's gonna be OK when I go home!

[chionomaniac]

Started sleeting here

[saint]

BBC London forecast for West Herts??? Heavy snow tonight and then slight rest and then more during the day.......

[spayne]

Omg i can't belive the ppn is going to miss me by a few miles

It won't.....I think we're in for a direct hit looking at the direction of travel of the precip!!! I think it will start snowing here within the hour.....

[Dave Clarke]

I'm sure I just saw lightning to the south of me???

[fine wine]

Very odd forcast on look east with talk of showers turning to rain tomorrow - is this really the case?

[remymartin]

It should reach you around 10pm according to the NMM. Good luck!

So it will get this far north then

[Ocean Transit]

WOW!

[Mr_Pessimistic]

im so gutted, have had 2cm so far in total here this winter, missed out every time, none last year, just rain, none the year before, and now im missing out again. I honestly haven't seen more than 2 inces a year since the early eighties, I must be the most unlucky person in the country. And don't say ill get some thurs because things will change by then as they always do, It will end up being no more than just a few flurries for my area. It always looks so promicing for here just a couple of days prior, then it completely changes, Every time. I should be in the perfect place, but it just never goes to plan. Someone help me im going mad!!!

[Hurricane Debby]

Its going to be gutting waking up tomorrow to green grass (pretty much confirmed now from the direction the band is going) while 10 miles to my west there is a foot of snow

Dont be so negative....Always expect the unexpected with the British weather ! Thats the beauty of it xx

oh good grief, I wouldn't even bother with Look East to be honest!

[John Snow]

The may as well change my area back to green from red, total non event for here

[nick sussex]

For those that haven't seen it, the ecm is sensational this evening!

[Snow Queen one]

Well i for one am happy i miss all the snow Caddy only has me with a 0-5cm chance of snow so that will do me. I saw the reported in Brighton talking about the urban sheep and yes i can confirm it was snowing. She had a black caot on and did look cold.

On it's way to you Saint! and anyone else in the surrounding areas :D

Please come this way! (Probably wont!) Shouldn't be to long, West Herts revolution eh Wayney? :D

[yamkin]

I am almost Croydon and no way are we getting even a mm tonight, that band is skirting up towards Heathrow then up into Herts, there won't even be 10mm in our area but hopefully will get some snow by Sunday

Check out the radar and you will see the swirl. Expect snow

I am not calling you a liar! I live in North Brighton - next to Preston Park, I have just opened my door, stood outside, looked at the lampost and felt the raindrops (quite heavy).. I would say it is more rain than sleet.

Edit Again... ITS SNOWING!!!! Fat heavy flakes... amazing - it must have started as sleet and turned to snow...!!!!!!

About 1 minute of sleet - now fully snow.
