SE and East Anglia general weather discussion 01/01/2018 onwards

Snowing on Stanstead Abbotts. No hop of it settling. Saw it snow in Stevenage yesterday and with two days of snow that settled in December, it already knocks spots off the last two winters

Radar showing precipitation here (seem to be on the border of sleet and snow) but nothing falling from the sky. I’m guessing we need a heavier burst on the radar to get what’s up in the clouds to the ground.

Sleeting, here in London, SE12, at very modest elevation. Not expecting anything more than that.

Regards,

Tom.

I just went out it’s turning increasingly to snow ! 

[SMU]

^^ yes heavier PPN arriving

Lightest and dreariest of snow here in TW. I think I must be getting old because this no longer excites me in the least.

I thought you were at my house then

[Lampostwatcher]

only heavy snow will settle I think 

been moderate here now for 10 mins not settling

[Nick F]

Some flakes of wet snow mixed in with sleet falling here in SE25, I suppose it's better than expected, but pretty worthless with regards to settling!

[Jimmyh]

Was sleetfest in sanderstead earlier. Got to woolwich cold rain.

40 meters is pretty high up to me  I downloaded an altitude app and it has me at 4.5 meters oh dear. If I’m seeing more snow than rain mixed in here, all should be encouraged really!

That’d be wierd! Similar views. Well done to those who said this would happen. I was unconvinced lol

would deep and crisp and even excite you still rather than shallow soggy and not even settling

I'm with you in Dover!

[john mac]

Not happening here. Rain with a little sleet

[surrey snowboy]

Starting to get quite white here in Dorking. 

 

 

[Methuselah]

Dry and sunny, frost has all-but vanished...Poo!

[SnowBorder]

Sleet turning to wet snow here, unexpected! 

[john mac]

A few flakes now mixed in 

[Nick F]

Seems to be mostly big flakes of wet snow rather than sleet now in SE25, nice to see, but won't settle.

Proper heavy snow here now and it’s settling. The grass is going white in a wet, slushy kind of way. 

Unreal just took a drive up the green everything white, come down to Egham nothing that slight bit of elevation 

 

[Daniel*]

Ideal conditions for evaporative cooling in our region very light winds less mixing.
