East Anglia & South East Cold Spell Discussion

[Hammer]

I think from about 5 onwards we will start to see some increased activity in Thames Estuary. IMO.

i really really hope so lol

That would be good as St. Albans isn't far waway from you and was affected by that back in December ( We are kind of in a line!)

Cold wind really set in now and today Bromley has an Ice Day. Snow was heavy for a short while in Biggin Hill this morning which now has about 8ins of snow. Anyone else from the North Downs just interested to hear what they think of the conditions as surrounding areas do not have anywhere near that amount.

Hi tv, welcome to the mad house. I live in Bromley. We've only got 7cms, but with your elevation you always do better.

Thats what I'm looking at SW. Providing it stays together!

It's stretching a long way back.....

I think it will be before that, Sitting here at London Bridge and I have seen this sky before. Not long now I don't think.

[hobbielancie]

You need very strong wind for it to be a blizzard. It's not just heavy snow.

Any wind?

It was a short-lived affair but the wind reallly picked up for a while.

Hi Hammer,

Would Hertfordshire benefit from this though?

You got more than we did then Jan - only around 1 to 1.5 inches in my back garden :mad:

Looking forward to Sun/Mon

Pitch black here now but nothing in the sky (apart from starlings)...

Yeah me too, I'm on a similar line. I think it's going to start curling in on itself and lose it's main feed, just hope there's enough juice left on it to give me a few CMs

[frostynikkers]

Greetings, long time no post for me.

It has been snowing heavily in central Cambridge for just over an hour now, sticking to main roads, hmmm, may be time to leave soon..

[Brocken Spectre]

Indeed Blizzard has minimum criterea, UK/Euro standards state wind must be in excess of 30mph and vis less than 650ft! (In Canada temps must also be below -25 LOL!)

You're only about 2.5 miles from me. Just goes to show how localised the snow can be

[Michael Fishermans Friend]

Hope so. Would tie in with the bbc forecast I saw earlier. Bring on the streamer! *prays to snow gods*

Very marginal for us over the weekend though (apparrantly) - could melt all our snow1

Hi Hammer,

I've been following that stream but it's breaking up before it even reaches me. Been sitting under what seems snowy cloud for an hour now, but nothing falling.
