Southeast England and East Anglia - Weather Chat

[Froze were the Days]

Back to sleety rain - I think that will be the order of the day (for the next hour or so).

[seaside 60]

Seems to be heavier than forecast yesterday and early this morning.

[loopydreamer]

Wet snow in Gillingham

Yes. Here in Chatham now too

Classic Queen, its snowing again

[loopydreamer]

Does anyone in my area have a DP?

[chrisbell-nottheweatherman]

Dam you rain, not one snow flake

 

Pouring with rain here now.

[Essexgooner]

Wet snow starting to fall here in the last 5 mins, my daughter is at the window as shes never really seen snow falling, not sure who is more excited, haha. Would love to build her an Olaf  

[laurenmae]

Started as rain then turned to sleet. Heavier bursts falling as snow but then back to rain mostly.

 

Even if it snowed it wouldn't settle as it's too wet. Nice to see it though!!

[Andy H]

Just raining and windy here, did see some snow on journey to St. Albans earlier, nice big flakes but not settling, back in Hertford and just rain

[slater]

Pouring with rain here now.

just so unbelievable where is all this cold air that they all keep saying, bored with all this now

[Sandman]

Still to warm down here on the coast.

 

Temp 5.4C with DP 3.1C

 

When is it meant to be getting colder down here??

[Kent Blizzard]

Does anyone in my area have a DP?

Yes. Here in Chatham now too

Halling-weather.co.uk has a few point of 1.8

I've just had wet snow and proper snow in the heavier bursts on the Wainscott/Strood border. Didn't expect anything more than rain....

[Met4Cast]

Temp: 2c

DP: 1c

[Captain Shortwave]

It was nice while it lasted. Back to drizzly rain now.

Looks like it will be damp for the rest of the day. Hopefully we will get clears skies tonight before the next band pushes through in the early hours.

[White Christmas]

started 10 minutes ago as rain but now snow, hopefully all that coming down towards us will be snow too

[john mac]

Just looked out the back door and the suns trying to break through!! Better the this crappy rain!!!!

[throwoff]

Too warm to settle. Shame as that kind of fall a day ago would have given us a coating. Meto going for snow all through the early hours with low temps before. If the lying water dries out or freezes we could get covering.

[DAVID SNOW]

It started off as rain......... then turned to rain and then back to rain again, then we had a mixture of rain and rain eventually finishing as pure rain

Unfortunately if you look on other regions Yorkshire etc. conditions are no better i.e. no snow...this spell so far has been over exaggerated and BBC only seem to mention how cold the wind is!...if we can get an easterly in next week then we'll see marginality thrown out the window!

[SE Blizzards]

Still snowing quite heavily here but struggling to settle though as ground is quite wet. 

[Southender]

Hammering down with heavy wet snow in Sarfend. Not settling though.

[BLUNT]

Anybody any clues why the upper air is melting it? if its only about 2c ground level? quite often we have warmer temps and it still snows?

[steveinsussex]

looking like only Kent and essex will get any passing showers tonight

Yes indeed very wet ground - hopefully some nice easterlies next week will make conditions bone dry and maybe a bit of convectivity to boot. Can't see a lot happening for the next day or so, got a nasty feeling rain tomorrow from that feature running down near the north sea.
