South East and East Anglia weather discussion/Chat - A new year

[Ice Day]

So, sit rep here in mid Essex is still zilch falling from the sky, however in happier news I've made a bold decision to go for a dangerous fourth glass of Sav Blanc!  

[ReindeerMarmalade]

Just drizzle here now 

Do we expect the precip type to maintain this boundary or is there any chance those of us to the west might actually see some damn snow?

 

[snowbob]

Looks like drizzle now 

[pureasthedriven]

As well as being a no-fly zone, Horley also a no-snow zone. For now. Don't think the airport will be shut anytime soon!

[snowbob]

we need the temps to drop

[kelal]

My brother in Heathfield  reports heavy snow and a light covering. (Heathfield E. Sussex)

Well in SW Essex, we are under the 'snow'. Its completely dry here though and has been all evening, so your probably not going to be missing much.

[snowbob]

Think those to the east of London may be in the sweet spot tonight

just getting wet here

[Lampostwatcher]

been snowing here since 930pm still not settling temp 0.9c dew p 0.3c

[wishfulwinter]

Right! I'm not a kid. I'm 53 years young. It's midnight. My daughter is fast asleep. I live on the 2nd floor. Im holding my eyes open with matchsticks. And for what? I can hardly leave my child and run downstairs to play on my own can I? But still I wait. Still I watch. Still I hope.......

Alas, I don't think so.  The 00:00 radar return shows the precip fragmenting and getting lighter.  It doesn't look too good for us unless somehow the system gets reinvigorated?  Nothing can be discounted, but my hopes are dwindling on this one.

Still, it's been a hoot on here this evening with still another month and a half of winter to come.  I have a strong feeling that our region might end up being the envy of the Netweather community early to mid February; we shall see.

Don't forget guys, those of you who are watching the radar with precipitation type, i.e, rain, sleet, snow, under light pink (meaning light blue rain) You'd barely see rain, so take into light flakes evaporating and you're not going to see much at all, wait for heavier bands

Is the PPN starting to break up on the radar a bit?

[Snowman.]

DP of -1 temp of 1.

And everything is 20 miles west but looks like I could scrape the edge.

[Daniel*]

 It is snowing to the N/E/S.....bloody sleet here. I remain confident but accumulations ain't a hope in hell.

Keep coming back. Remember one lamp post is too many a hundred is never enough

All I ask for is to see it falling.

[Lampostwatcher]

stopped snowing melted

[Wilks]

Good old rain here with the odd heavy burst to be heard hitting the conservatory roof but didn't expect anything else as it hasn't even been that cold so far here

 

[snowbob]

Hype =10 

reality = 1

lol 25 times bitten

still up for it ( every time)

snow in the uk is like an England penalty shoot out 

it all looks good

but never just gets over the line

as usual us in the south east

are out.
