Southeast England & East Anglia - Weather Chat >> 1st Feb Onwards

[Weather Wizard]

Was definitely going more SSW till last few radar frames (between 20:45-22:00), now seems to be going more SW again (22:00-22:45) 

[Mesoscale]

Just sliding north west of here, damn if only this was heading directly south.

[Lauren]

*sigh*. Well wasn't expecting much anyway.

Did get a good picture of the moon dog though.

[jamie82]

Glad to be in peterborough tonight! on and off since 7pm and accumulating nicely.

[Trom]

St. Albans snowshield in full effect!

Wouldn't worry to much - looking at the radar it's only just reaching St. Albans nowish

Hi Daniel...Halo huge here in Biggin Hill.  Maybe cloud is interfering....it's pretty amazing :-)!

[southbank]

Gonna be one of those winters

[Kent Blizzard]

I'm not so sure for tonight now for here, the goal posts keep moving and I'm worried about later this week being a damp squib too now.

Good here too. Just down the road from you.

“@EssexWeather: @RGSweather One of the models I like to use in this set-up is HARMONIE and that initiates a Thames Streamer from 16:00 tomorrow.â€

Thames streamer requires an easterly...

[Sno' problem]

Docklands E14 East I'm way East of that band never mind hope West and NW get some heavy hits tonight of snow our time will come lol

U cold get lucky though there hope so

You will fare far better than me over the coming days... you should be fine mate.

[MagicBat]

Moved West very quickly, such a shame!

Agreed, interesting shift to the west. We may see a more southern push soon and ppn growing in strength on eastern edge.

[snowbob]

Ha ha you couldn't make it up

What a slide west

That's the game with snow.

Enjoy all those west of London

Nice one

[steveinsussex]

Wouldnt give up just yet

 

[Sno' problem]

London is just eating away at the ppn, so it will need a more concerted band to head through for it to affect those of us in town.

[bluearmy]

Nope - slipped to the west of here.

[Great Plum]

The halo is enormous tonight!

[Roy]

Very poor BBC forecast at 10.30. No mention of the snow that is spreading sw and is even knocking on the door of parts of SW Midlands. Why don't these forecasters do the simple thing of looking at the radar!!

 

Looking good for snow showers to return here from the Wash.

I agree. Are they in denial or something? The graphics they use these days are so abysmal. Splodges of white here and there, all in the wrong places lol

[fatyido]

We are obviously in the sweet spot as well tonight. Been snowing since 8pm now, snowing heavily still. Decent covering.

Been round next door with the snow shovel to clear my elderly neighbours paths and salt them.

[Andy H]

Just on the edge yet again, really could not make it up this winter! Preferred last winter with no hopes

[Met4Cast]

Wouldnt give up just yet

 

 

Isn't that surface airflow though, rather than upper?

[southbank]

What a twist of fate the 500 wind vectors and 700 wind vectors all move in a SW direction roughly along the m4 corridor , hence the shift as the band moved southwards , 50 miles North / South the winds are in s more northerly direction

That's called buggers luck

[terryall]

I said hours ago that this would miss London to the west BUT that was meant to a bit of a joke! Next time I will keep my big mouth shut.

Sorry.

[Biggin]

Harmonie lol Never trust twitter, wind in right direction tomorrow ??

But none of them arrows are pointing SW, which is the direction the precip is moving. So can't rely on these wind directions I wouldn't have thought
