But it's still causing headache... You say that 24 hours ago it was showing much better... In 24 hours time the models probably will have changed again?

Uncertainty is high so the best thing to do is watch the radar and temp outside.

[Dami]

I have watched about five weather reports today, one went from heavy snow all the way to just cloud, but most were showing nothing for my area, but still exciting that there is a chance of the white stuff, but it's as annoying as hell.

But as we get nearly to any event we must gain greater confidence in the outcome.. The trend today has been poor for snow Sunday and this is only compounded by it being so close.

BBC web have not updated their graphics yet, i will wait until they do.

There's no reason to why that cannot change again.

Just got back from having my MOT redone, now have a road legal car again

Missed the output this evening, looking now it looks a mess again.

FAX chart time

 

Tonight

Mainly fine and dry for most, maybe an isolated shower may make it over.

Temperatures

0C to -2C so a widespread air frost. Ice will be a hazard in places where we saw showers today.

 

Tomorrow

Moderate westerly wind

There is a trough moving through during the middle of the day, the hi-res models pick this up to and bring a band of showers across the region. These will be wintry with snow over the hills.

Temperatures

4-6C

 

Saturday night

Light west to north westerly winds

More showers pushing through at times, again wintry. A weather front will approach the south coast later.

Temperatures

A range of 1C to -2C likely, coldest in the north.

 

Sunday

Light and variable winds, bias to a northerly in the north of the region and this will become more general later.

That front is brushing the south coast, so I would expect from this that there would be a mix of rain, sleet and snow south of London at this point. Still major uncertainty on this.

Temperatures

A cold 2-4C

 

Sunday night

Light northerly wind

More teases going on here, now a occluded front shifting down the east coast, this could bring snow showers later in the night.

Temperatures

-1C to -5C

 

Monday

Light northerly wind

That front again could bring snow showers almost anywhere across the region. Again uncertainty on how this will pan out.

Temperatures

1-4C

Frost forming on the cars now

[fatyido]

Can't help thinking, that as per usual, the hype has whipped this colder spell into major events with widespread snow.

Not one single forecast predicts much in the way of snow in our region. Our hopes rely on band of showers through tomorrow, very hit and miss, and 65% chance of them being rain/sleet.

Then Sunday the weather front from the south at this stage is not predicted to go very far north.

So I can't quite see what all the excitement is about, at this stage, unless cold, frosty nights floats your boat.

2 degrees celsius here and hoping for an upgrade on beeb website.

[Ruby000]

The gritters are out in Chingford. 3.8 degrees.

Too many pin their hopes on weather forecast which changes like I change my socks. We are in a lucky position to see how things may lead on while the general public is oblivious. Honesty I will be flabbergasted; if we do not get any snow at all in the 7d. ECMWF is in fact snowy, for us we'd all be having something.

[Jax]

dropped to 1oC going by what the remote sensor in the shed is reporting, turning very white and frosty out now.

[Guest]

Evening all!

 

I just landed back from Dublin, a bit of turbulence but not as bad as my friends who flew yesterday. It feels tropical in Kingston compared to Ireland! Just catching up on the last few pages to see whats in store for us here

That is a fair assessment so far!

I agree in that most will see some falling snow, but settling snow is another matter

Heres hoping you snow starved southerners get snow sunday.....

Lived in faversham, kent for 8 years, moved up here two years ago.... Had 6-8 inches snow one november when i was meant to be flying via stansted and there were no trains from fav.... Best i had in living in kent for 10 years....

Missed out on march 2013 up here as was moving from kent to here.... Which apparently was amazing snow drift wise....

Met have me down for this tomorrow.... But big pinch of salt..... Wind direction im in shadow of welsh mountains and you only have to look at manchester to the west of me for the rain shadow ive experienced this past week....

Agree, sure wet snowflakes eventually falling somewhere, but rain is the main theme atm.

Only lived here for 18 months - supposed to be one of the most snow sure parts of London due to altitude/being next to open countryside. Yet to see a flake because of rubbish winters thus far!

[mickeyb44]

With regards to some previous posts - No offence but theres nothing wrong with getting excited and hoping for a last minute change. This is the south east / east anglia thread by the way, the home of the 'marginal' event.

 

Downpour, i saw some serious snow as a kid in chingford . West essex golf course, complete chaos  and 6 foot drifts in the bunkers !!
