Night to those crashing, going to wait for the next couple of runs meself, sweet dreams and I hope you wake up to something.

Night to those heading to

I'll be here til 6am!

[Buzzit]

Getting lighter outside - birds chirping - getting desperate I know

[Sno' problem]

That Cheshire streamer is really showing no signs of abating, just a huge shame that it looks to be skirting to the West of me!!! Grrrrrr

Not so bad for those in Oxfordshire, Berkshire and West bucks if it lasts.

[Jezzer]

Something to keep us chilled out, think we've all had a stressful time trying to get the white stuff here!

Croydon gritters were deployed at 03:00 hrs. MetO are very confident the snow will reach this area at approx 04:00 hrs

[Sno' problem]

It is stunning isn't it!

I have just booked a ticket to Tromso to try and see the Northern Lights... Can't wait!!!

Hiya Yamkin, good news! and the Met Office and Beeb were totally spot-on with their timings... lets see if they were right about the ppn later today?

This is the best time in 50 years apparently, so fingers, toes and eyes crossed that the skies are clear in early Feb.

[Jezzer]

fantastic I just think they are so magical maybe not the right word to use but that's just my opinion

[snowking]

Still waiting to see what exactly its progged to fall as, but 0z NAE has moved the heavier precip (as witnessed by PPN accumulation) further south into east anglia.

I know the 18z pushed the warm sector a little further south and west, so I'm wondering whether we will see a further push SW of it again here, which would be of obvious benefit to you guys/girls

If it makes anyone feel better...

[Jezzer]

The London Snow Shield is rupturing!

and that Cheshire Gap Streamer will be the length of Wales soon

Look to be on course for less than most other areas here in SE London/NW Kent. Darker colours to north heading to East London/Essex, and the stuff from North west/Cheshire heading SW to W London, Berkshire, Oxford. We shall see!

Finally some snowfall showing up on NAE for Essex and Kent tomorrow night - 2cm :o

Still 2 runs until T+0 so maybe further upgrades

[Buzzit]

Same tomorrow might really be a sweet spot - look at the wind...

Even Cookie Monster likes it and he's supposed to be hibernating (sometimes I feel like posting this at the gloomiest times of the winter model thread...)
