Southeast England and East Anglia - Weather Chat

[Paul Sherman]

Damn should have stuck with my first thought - Looks like the LP Will make landfall at Colwyn Bay which is bang smack between Liverpool and NW Wales! That would track it just West of Birmingham by 2-3am I would have thought

[Daniel*]

What's your punt? North or south of London?

Hopefully both, but I'd say North London is more favoured for something more decent. Precip is definitely moving SE'wards.

METO invent 5am prediction. Which had it further SW earlier, now brings more of region in to potential.

After the first failed snow which turned out to be rain, then the second which turned into a mcflurry, I'm not staying up for this and expect to wake up to a wet ground. I'm going to predict no snow on the ground in North East Kent on Friday

[Paul Sherman]

Definate Mild Sector up to our North West which is worrying, North Wales reporting Rain, then Staffordshire and now West Midlands have rain, all had it starting as snow, then sleet and then rain. But places further east no such problems over Derbyshire etc

[Mark wheeler]

Light snow falling here . Ice melted on cars though

[NO LONGER POSTING]

Indeed where has that warm sector come from..

We should been fine the mild sector will be just to the west of the region, it mixes out the 850s & dew points. Painful for some, this was modelled. Edited January 30, 2015 by Daniel*

The SW. NE of low still fine.

[loopydreamer]

Anyone planning on actually staying up for this thing? I'm pretty tempted[/quote

I'm staying up

[Frostbite80]

not sure but being on the eastern side of the low I am hoping our region will miss it!

Anywhere N and E of the low should be fine I'd have thought, as long as the low exits to the West of our region which it almost certainly will, it should be an all snow event

[TEITS]

Reports I am reading suggest the track of the low is further SE than the Met O expected. Appears some of us were more accurate,

[throwoff]

I've lost track of it, is it on course for a good result for our region now?

Yep, thats why I am tracking the centre so closely (Lol) would not have bothered if it looked like it was going to clear the Uk between Brighton and Dover, certainly looks well west of the SE Region thank god! Shame for those further west, hope the guy in Bucks does not see this as he will be close to the edge after this news, lol

Started snowing again here

[Daniel*]

Essexweather: @alunfphysio Between 3AM & 7AM the chance of a more organised band of snow arriving from the NW. It's currently over Manchester, moving SE.

My eyeballs hurt..

Great to hear St Albans is finally seeing snow! (Shame I'm in Leeds... But I guess we did get some up here!  )

[Andy H]

Radar showing snow over me, but bloody can't see as lamppost been turned off!! It all looks promising on radar, but always seems to split once it gets to here!

[Lampostwatcher]

Which is what METO invent informs,

My eyeballs hurt..

Lol... mine too... am I going to be able to stay awake? Not sure seeing as I'm now totally confused as to if Medway will get some decent snow in the next few hours?

[SMU]

Heavy snow now arriving over Northampton, even a dark orange pixel on my radar- 6-8 mm per hour.
