SE and East Anglia generalweather discussion 08/11/2017 onwards

Strange how I often end up in the light PPN on the radar here or the holes, the heavier stuff just seems to skirt round me, anyone else have this problem?

[bluearmy]

@Steve Murr  checking the ecm op at T84 and your slider does actually slide across the midlands (rather than the control which went ne). Snow n Midlands and lancs/yorks. (Looks more elevation based than today as fridays slider takes much of the cold air away)

EDP is reporting that the wind has taken the roof and part of the front off a retail unit at Gapton, which is not far from here, just looked outside, it is absutely raw, and drizzly.

Very windy down here, I'd estimate you have some 60 mph gust mixed in with the showers coming off the north sea. May be stronger. We have gusts in the 50s down here.

Norfolk and Suffolk travel on facebook is interesting, reporting trees down, two retail units with bits blown off now, flooding and all sorts.

Really really grim and despite heavier precipitation and falling temperatures the best we are managing is icy rain.

very strange today we in Corby Northants got a good dumping places like stamford not much.

was very marginal Corby is like 130 meters Peterborough sea level and not much snow at all.

Yes the snowline def seems higher in NW Kent this time. On my way to work from Gravesend to Borough Green- Meopham was snow free this time only right at the top of Wrotham Hill was there any slight accumulations

[snowking]

Quite a morning here overall, somewhere around 7-8cms fell, it eased off about 45 mins ago. Turning really quite slushy very quickly on the pavement and road and sliding off cars but sticking pretty well on the grass and roofs, with the sun now making a late afternoon appearance.

It is going to be treacherous out there come the morning

[Methuselah]

I wonder if the wind will stay northerly for long enough for thundersnow to run down the East Coast...like it did two weeks' back? Here's hoping!

[JennyJane1]

Trees down at Haddiscoe fallen across the power lines and across the train tracks so many trains now cancelled.

Are we due any snow tonight then?

I really don't know, JJ, but there are snow showers running southwards down the coast, from around  Yorkshire way...So I am hoping...

[tinybill]

[Snow Queen one]

Drying up here.  No snow either. Going to be a cold night

[LightningLover]

Well, that was slightly better than I anticipated, but it still wasn't great. No snow managed to settle.  Ice may be an issue tomorrow.

[Methuselah]

And now we have a torrential rain shower!

[interested & confused]

2 hours ago, interested & confused said:

Lots of rain overnight, footpath flooded again, now we have huge wet snowflakes among the rain, just looked and there are a lot more of them in the mix now. Too wet for any to settle, unless it turns a lot colder.

Wind has started howling down the chimney as well now - good job I haven't got to go out!

The temperature has really dropped today from 8.4C at 1am to 2.3C at 3pm. So wonder whether if the next lot will fall as snow?

This is what we want to see this member in GEFS 06z. Marginality dead. Proper cold that.

Wonderful sunset a cold night to come - to have an uninterrupted view would be the dream.

Friday looks like we could see some transitional snow and then nothing really terribly mild in the next 7 days. lows crossing over taking w to e track and northerlies on the back ends. Going to make for interesting viewing!

Really not seeing really any sign of that? Today was marginal that’s a whole different ballpark.
