EURO4 showing snow/rain for my area near King's Lynn for later.  GFS charts showing very little, I think it'll be a case of waiting to see what's falling out of the sky!

Looks like you live smack bang on the coast buddy near on impossible to get snow right on the coast unless the conditions really the dogs b**

 

It snowed Thursday/Friday. Settled got a 1-2cm. Don't really tend to look at the forecasts that BBC and MetO put out for my location as most of the time it's during a nowcast scenario.

 

We actually do well considering I live in a coastal town but I think its more to do with I'm only coastal to the Thames really.

 

Anyway: Temp 3, DP -3

Even here in Ramsgate there was a 1cm dusting on friday morning. And i consider the thanet coast to be the worst place for snow potential in all of kent. So never rule out a suprise or 2.

I'm a touch concerned that I maybe a it too close to the coast tonight for snow.  Having said that, with the direction the showers are due to come from, they'll have a relatively lengthy land track to get here.  Thoughts?

Bit of a update for the next 5 days. Europe to turn much colder with a developing cold pool and associated trough to form alignment Denmark to Germany. Cold pool to move through Low Countries and into Southeast Britain ( Thursday into Friday ) with fairly good probability rate of some snowfall in the deeper cold air mass as it advects SW. Into the weekend looks dry for most parts of the UK but still cold. Beyond that still some uncertainty regarding of positioning of the main high in the vicinity of Britain. Clear signals from todays discussion is the cold weather is going to hard to shift and that applies to UK. Maybe see some changes on this evening runs .

Re tonight I think from about 9pm ish, "showers" (so hit and miss) in to northern part of the region covered by this thread, then these "showers" moving from NE>SW through region through the night. So line drawn between Wash and IoW and East of that line. Even around 9am tomorrow morning looks like possibility of snow for Sussex, Surrey, Kent before it clears away.

Temp here is 2.8 dp -3.6 dp has been negative all day, highest temp 3.2 to spite it being nice and sunny all day, here's hoping things stay similar when the wind changes and brings the showers. Weather station says, unsettled ppn later, so fingers crossed.

Guys, if its going to snow anywhere in these marginal conditions,, then hawkinge in south kent is usually in the hit zone. Its got 150 metre elevation plus a long land track with wind between wnw and north east. Theyve had 3 decent coverings this week, while 3 miles away the lower parts of folkestone had just rain or sleet.

I'm predicting scenes like that will be widespread in the South East by the end of this week, especially Croydon. :cold:

Heavy wintry showers getting into the north east now, this disturbance will run south towards us during the evening. Fingers cross that some of us get at least something.

As for Wednesday into Thursday. Very knife edge as small changes could mean the difference between a few coastal wintry showers and some some decent snowfall.

It would appear that the drier air mass is having an effect - Wymondham showing 1.7C temperature, but the dew point is down at -4C, which is much lower than recent days.

Just seen Matt Taylor on BBC news 24. Not looking that promising for Wed/Thurs. He said it won't be quite as cold on Wed so mainly rain, sleet and possibly a little snow here and there but no accumulations. Thursday the wind will be strengthening veering to the n/e making it feel very raw (but still 6c lol) but very few showers by then. So it looks like the threat on Thurs has now receded. Make the most of tonight I think.


So we get the n/e wind and it's dry lol. Never mind, just not meant to be this winter

I just think it's **** annoying the difference between the bbc and met. Local and National! How can people put any faith in them if they are so widely different, sometimes just 30mins apart
