London & South East Regional Discussion 17th January 2013, 12z onwards

[danm]

12z nae accum precip upto midday saturday.....

8mm so approx. 8cm in the London area according to that. I'd take that.

[Southender]

12z nae accum precip upto midday saturday.....

4-8mm widely across our region.

I will take that.

With a good conversion rate, we could squeeze 6-12cm out of that.

12z nae accum precip upto midday saturday.....

remember people 1.5 ratios so 8mm is 12cm of snow

s

Paul & Smurf on the same wavelength-

Paul- maybe a dusting ahead of the front-

Sky getting very dull here, although I don't see much ppn on the radar. I wonder will we get a flurry?

Me too!!! Waiting for GFS to crank up now and start confirming how long this snow will last - I'll take through to Wednesday currently please!

1 hour to go until the perhaps pivotal 12z's. Let's hope for the eastward correction.

P. S. I have to say that looking at some of you fine ladies avatars that even though we may not be the snowiest region so far, we are definitely the best looking! Will not name names for fear of turning this into a dating site but suffice to say any pillow talk that ensued would be purely weather based.

That's a lot of snow coming in even if its light it will still bring good totals.

[Paul Sherman]

Paul - What are the latest odds?

On that note.

Went to Tesco Cafe last night and ordered a burger. The waitress asked "do you want anything on that?"

I said "yeah, a fiver each way"

Got to say the odds were all done and dusted earlier, have the list but if the book was re-opened would be as follows now

East or Same 1/3

West/Downgrade 5/2

All South 33/1

[Kentspur]

I can tell all us east kenters are on a real downer after seeing that forcast, chin up,weve gotta get something out of this,might just be enough to make a snowball mind!!

The BBC London weather girl said it's going to be powdery snow she then Went on to say it's not good for making snowmen lol!;-)

[blackprince]

What would 4mm aquate to in snow??? anyone?

[VillagePlank]

You want one that isnt so quite enthusiastic about the snow though... girls who adore the snow are generally to be found staring at lamposts, looking out of curtains and windows, watching radars, doing silly little dances at the sight of Snowflakes and posting on NW when Snow is forecast...not snuggling lol! My OH is not a fan of the snow for above reasons lol

Yes, the my missus looks bemused when I keep curtain twitching to catch a glipse of a flake flickering and dancing in the light from a streetlamp ....

[Paul Sherman]

What would 4mm aquate to in snow??? anyone?

6cm

[VillagePlank]

What would 4mm aquate to in snow??? anyone?

Depends. Normal rule of thumb is multiply by 10 (so 4cm) However, this can vary widely, the multiplier can be by 5 or even above by 20. Ten is the average.

[SMU]

remembert the nae is only to 48- what about 54 & 60 - I think the target is 10mm or 6 inches by midnight sat night into sunday-
