Temperature has just gone down another 2ºc in the past 20 mins... now 3ºc, with some ppn heading this way. Could be a sleety mix?

Certainly got a chance!

Appears to be a heavier arm of precip forming North of Cambridge to Kings Lynn heading South and East.

Funny finding myself watching the SE of England at the moment, all the other Scots have gone to bed! Quite an interesting drop in temps with you guys.

Do you think it will get this far south or head through Suffolk to the North Sea?

I'm beginning to get that impression! I'm assuming you're all waiting on that feature in the Midlands that's coming south?

Radar loop looks favourable in direction but will it sustain intensity or just fizzle out, tough call.

eh, what? That actually happens? Most illuminating this thread (pardon the accidental pun).

We moan when the pavements of small side streets aren't gritted and cleared of snow, can only image the reaction if the street lights were turned off!

Welcome to the marginal region Rab, see how excited we get with a wee touch of sleet?!?!?!? :D

Very gusty again here, but although the temps are dropping nicely, there is minimal ppn in my part of the woods.

Need the low to stall over the hook of Holland and some convection off the North Sea! (We can dream can't we?) :D

Many thanks, I rarely venture much out of the Scottish thread - in the model thread now and then for a post or two - but the SE of England always has a place in my heart as my auntie and uncle moved there when they were 17 / my cousins are from there.

Edit: Speaking of excitement, my eldest cousin was up here from the SE for the late Dec cold spell of '95 when it was below -20'C - I was only a child at the time but I still remember him absolutely buzzing while taking me sledging!

Can you post the radar please? How far north of us is it?

Well I happen to be from there originally, so it seems that us Jocks seem to move between the two!

Yes all side roads go off at 00hrs - 6am (I think) its horrible and not to mention dangerous!

Probably power flashes may be, even if they are just arcing that can happen, not sure if the winds are strong enough though?
