Down to freezing here with a glorious clear sky. Moon looking good 

[karlos1983]

[Mapantz]

There's quite a rash of showers over Japan, they might make it this far?

I did just laugh out loud then. Very good

the Japan North coast gets epic sea effect snow, would love to go for a winter. Just not so keen on the ground shaking daily

There appears to be some form of force field from roughly Isle of Wight west killing the ppn as per earlier batch. Darn and blast

Hi

Is there a reason why this is happening?

As per a previous post by Andy Bown, when the weather is from the west it decays as it moves east therefore the east has less ppn , the opposite applies from the east..............

HI

Yes i've seen Andy's post but what causes the decay of a front ?

Land mass I guess, energy it gets over the ocean does not exist over land, unless atmospheric conditions are conducive for convection, like a steaming jet over head as an example 

[kevvo]

Iv'e been lampost watching. All I've seen are lamposts. 

[Daniel*]

Something for you lot to monitor with that mass of ppn coming your way. The dew points look good for the West Country. 

[Mark Parsons]

I think those pepped up showers might be on there way

[matt111]

Temperature and dp on the rise. 

[karlos1983]

I think game over this time round 

[Mapantz]

One or two flakes blowing in the wind again..

Right im off to bed but I can report light snow falling currently so fingers crossed for noddy land ppn to explode into life .

Sadly yes, and I'm as far east as you can get for this region. We seem to kill weather for a lot of reasons about here. We either get a stalling front(last September when Newbury and Didcot station flooded) or we have an invisible storm/snow shield. Topography has a lot to answer for and I guess the Thames itself might play a part. But even though this is a westward moving band of ppn, it;s still dying JUST as it gets here!

[Mapantz]

The last three days of this highly ramped Easterly... what Easterly?

Certainly hasn't been much of an easterly. Hasn't delivered anything really, not even an air frost.

Managed a bone chilling -0.2c on Friday evening's few hours of clear sky!!!

[knocker]

Cloudy with Sc and St although it doesn't look that thick with perhaps even a hint of a break and iyt is fairly high. Temp 3C and a breeze from the NE

[Andy Bown]

Flurrying again in the last half an hour, that's 4 consecutive days so even though ultimately disappointing it is very notable as that hasn't happened since March 2013.

[Dorsetbred]

Checking this morning I see the area had a heavy fall of "What snow" overnight leaving an invisible covering of an inch or so. Best fail this winter.

[Nights King]

Well was it good for you?
