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

[Daniel*]

Well I've been waiting to say this all day but I think I have light v wet snow falling.

[Rob Deacon]

snowing again in Haywards Heath, falling quite nice right now best yet

 

[Swave Snow]

We just didn't have cold enough air in place?   for a cold block against the Atlantic especially as the oomph from the power of that ex hurricane Alex ?probably contained warmer air than may have been the case.

 

In the past cold blocks took a few goes to get going properly so maybe more and better to come in the next few weeks

 

Hope we can still squeeze something out of this tonight

I heard they have 6ft snow drifts out his way and powercuts due to weight of snow bringing down the lines, so I'm guessing he can't get online? 

We don't get  kentimeters here in Surrey

Good things come to those who wait!

It was always forecast to arrive at this time, shame the earlier ppn got everyone excited.

[Sno' problem]

Well snowing gently here, not settling on any wet surfaces, but readily sticking to me!!

Glad you guys are getting something and worth the wait. Precipitation disappearing as it approaches me but as expected will wait for a better line of attack..

Snowing heavy/ steadily. ..

[Sno' problem]

The ppn is still building behind the current 'blob', so another hour of fun at least.

Anything settling with any of you?

Yup, just wonderful to see big flakes falling past the window. Like a kid in a sweetshop!!

Is there maybe a case of London heat island lake effect snow about to take place with the colder air coming in behind
