Anyone got a clue why my location is like the only place in the entire region not to get settling snow???

Just what is going on with this?

I'm sooo annoyed right now lol!

Woke in Bas today to find about an inch at the most, throughout the day we have had the odd flurry with a slight melting on pavements, however last half hour OMG its chucking it down, massive flakes and settling now fast, ive got to go to work in an hours time and will finish at 10pm, not driving will be car sharing tonight. Any ideas on roughly what we should expect to see in the next few hours in Basildon anyone please? would hate to be stranded at work!!!! thanks

kold. Even here its bucketing down. All surfaces white. Huge flakes. Best snow since 17th dec.

The precip is far heavier further east, thats why there is the difference, its no more then that I suspect and in the heavier precip you'll be getting slightly colder temps, its the difference between settling snow and snowfall that is helping add to the melt!

It's the Lakeside effect, go tell them to turn off their heating in the Mall, that should help!

Sorry no idea at all, you could of course "Blame it on the Boogie" lol

Im just a lurker from Thurrock the same as Kold. its been pretty miserable here after all the build up, it's been snowing on and off all day but now we have big flakes.if it carries on into the evening then it could settle. i think it just itsn't as cold as it was.

Snow has all but stopped now. That's sad. I thought the streamer would be right over us but it seems to be heading into Kent or dying on its feet.

I think we are now emerging from the front. Small flakes now, but we have had snow for almost 12 hrs now.

Enough for me thats for sure. :blink:

Looking at longer time charts.sunday onwards... I.E. the faxes..if that big low pressure system get sucked in to the north easterly flow...we will grind to a halt..anybody have any views on this..or any info to show that it will come ourway in a weeks time ???

First sign of possibly trying to settle now however this is a painfully slow process and as VP said earlier, we've wasted such a huge amount of precip, esp given this part of the front is weakening at quite some rate now which is over me.

Looking at the NW radar for SS2, it looks good for at least another hour I would say, and if it stays in the yellow's I am sure you'll be pleased. I guess over in Kent say somewhere like Gravsend might benefit even more.

What are the chances that the Thames causes this to pep up a bit, in next hour?

Afternoon LS,

NW radar looks good for a good while to me, Kold has much more experience than myself and suggested 1-2in a possiblity. Hope you see something soon Kold :blink:

regards,

Steve ( Leigh-on-Sea )

At long last settling snow here...

Shouldn't get anymore then a 1cm or so though, which is still far less then what should have occured here given the frontal system development...sadly this whole vent has been pretty cack.

At least there is some fairly heavy snow at last.

If it has stopped in South Woodham my guess is areas directly south will lose the PPN within half an hour, unless the streamer is somehow aligning over you but not here

Very frustrating. For 30 minutes I really thought this was it! False alarm.

I'm sooo annoyed right now lol!

it seems the theme of the day , snowed all day in central london ec2y not settled , back at hq , sutton sm1 , again snow all day very little settled ......... it shows just how much you need all the ingredients to come together for snow to settle ...... think thats taken the shine off things as if it had settled think of the accumlations

very surprised at sky graphics for sunday , may lead to a few on here ramping but a word of caution we still not sure how the high will develop to the north of us but fingers crossed
