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

[Daniel*]

Very therapeutic to watch those white flakes fall to the ground so elegantly. 

Accumulating on the shed roof & grassy surfaces. 

Upped in intensity  

[Mesoscale]

Got a slight coating on my grass and wheelie bins but appears to be melting quite quickly.

Now that everyone has gone to bed in utter disgust at another snow no show, it starts snowing heavily in London. WAKEY WAKEY  everyone, you're missing it Settling fast too

Every surface going white

wow 

glad I waited up 

[tight isobar]

Increase in-intensification! !!

[Sno' problem]

Shame they didn't set their alarm clocks, it was always forecast around this time, not the earlier warm sector rain. 

Unbelievably, despite how wet the surfaces are, it is now trying it's best to settle, so areas outside central London will surely get a covering.

Now that's snow

wahoooo

Heavy  sleet here atm, looks like the warm sector is clearing  hopefully will get some proper snow here soon.

[Daniel*]

Yep picking up here (moderate snow) incredibly transfixing.

[Sno' problem]

The ppn is still building as it crosses London, wake up everyone in Surry/Kent/Sussex!!!

[tight isobar]

Beginning to settle"even" upon damp pavement. .although of the slushy variety. ..grass verges/cars turning white...rapidly. 

[echodelta21]

Astounded here.....can't believe it's settling almost everywhere except here. Just heavy enough to make everything wet.

I miss living in Biggin Hill

[Snowman.]

Any news for those in Essex or how the radar is looking? Looking much lighter outside now

[snowbob]

Everything white

2 mins from biggin hill airport

it is settling nicely

[snowbob]

Very heavy now 

dont need a lamp post

[echodelta21]

Well, Romford has light snow, but nowhere near enough intensity to settle properly.  Maybe a slight dusting on the roof, but just dampening everything else down.

From what I can tell on the precip type radar, it seems the sleety band has pushed NW as this load has come south.

 

Not impressed, but then I haven't had decent snow down here in all the time I've been here.

[Daniel*]

Coming down nicely after easing for a little....

[Swave Snow]

Eased off a while ago  is that it for North West London 

[Sno' problem]

There is a patch of clearer air, with some further showers following on behind.

There's an intensification(pep up) to the north of London heading direct south...via radar!

[snowbob]

Everything white

good covering now 

[tight isobar]

No that's what I'd call real snowfall now!!!!

[Sno' problem]

Just as an aside... People need to be aware that the "weather type" feature, however good it is at certain times, is not necessarily always accurate... The entire time it has been snowing here in London, the precipitype radar has been saying sleet/rain over the entire capital, whereas it has been chucking it down with snow for an hour. Whereas when it was raining earlier, it said snow. 

The best way of finding out what is actually falling will always be either from other people who can verify or possibly the old favourite of looking out the window.

Started again? Radar looks nice right now, worth staying up for!
