Southeast England and East Anglia - Weather Chat

[Wivenswold]

Only if you're a benefit scrounger... if you pay tax, it certainly isn't free!

Or perhaps if you have a genuine need to be on benefits. Not everyone not paying tax is a scrounger. Just ask your grandparents.

I really can see the low just sliding down the west coast I hope it doesnt

[mickeyb44]

Daniel, what do you think about possible timings of the polar low for us, and what might happen ?

I am very excited about this.

[alexisj9]

All snow here in Dover earlier but did not land. Was nice to watch it fall.

[Hodgheg]

Got the day off of work tomorrow so i might as well do an all nighter and see if anything happens. Few beers and lamppost watching its my sad night in lol.

[Sno' problem]

It also looks like a couple of streamers are developing in the NW of England. One just over Lancaster and another one just to the West of Chester...

Worth keeping an eye on! (EDIT: Still building!)

all models ive seen suggest it breaks up over the welsh mountains?

[tinybill]

all  i  can say for Norfolk,Suffolk,showers  coming 2 ways  to-night off the north sea, plus some  in 2  lines    heading our way from the west

So far its looking on course to hit our region. Judging by the spinning "Mother low" over in Scandi, it seems to be on a south east track. What it falls as is anyone's guess

Wouldn't bother with the models watch the radar

The odd snowflake in the wind here

It may well do so yet. Unlikely I would have thought but certainly the risk it stays well to the West of the region.

 

That's what you get with polar lows. Nailbiting stuff!

Plus they rapidly weaken and break up over land?

nope, just the majority

Might be of use to some of you, interesting read!

[throwoff]

Don't talk wet, the majority? I thought this was a weather forum not a 'I believe any old tat the daily mail tell me' forum.

[fine wine]

The showers on the Radar seem be appearing over East Anglia rather than dying. I did very well earlier out of that snow as we didn't get any rain in the mix. We have around 1.5" here.

[steveinsussex]

nope, just the majority

 

 

Hmmm

 

I was out of work not long ago and had to claim job seekers, mainly so i kept up my national insurance contributions

 

Dont consider myself a scrounger at all

 

Apologies if im missing something here

[snowking]

Some do, some don't.

 

It will break up to some extent, but given the cyclonicity of the system there's nothing to rule out say it entering the channel or the thames estuary and the precipitation intensifying for example. If you can loop the radar back from earlier that's exactly what happened to the system from earlier as it entered the North Sea. 

 

Given the vorticity associated with the system it shouldn't have too much trouble in maintaining a decent amount of precipitation:

It is not doing that ATM play the loop it is evident it moving towards our proximity let's hope it continues this track.

I expect the SE to have snowfall in the early hours, as I said it has a mind of its own, there's no leash.

Polar lows are fraught with unpredictability which makes them special.

Moving on...... All eyes on the radar an interesting night coming up and a welcome surprise!

Correct Steve, only reason I sign on when I'm out of work is to keep the NI conts going on.
