Looking at the updated  fax charts this morning it seems Exeter think that Storm Emma will throw it's first occluded front at us tomorrow morning from a SE direction.

This to me looks rather weak on our SE side of the country ( hence our Thursday snow threat has been removed) but may be more snowtastic to the West of London.

However this angle of attack would keep the SE and coasts in the cold for longer,the approaching warm front on Thursday night becomes a cold front on Friday,so the precipitation should be pure snow for all,at least until daytime Saturday.

Yes, looks like the temperatures here in the SE will stay cold enough for snow until at least Saturday morning. Could be more fun and games to come!

Quite incredible minima this morning in my parents valley in a N Downs frost hollow. Snow is measuring 8.5" deep.

Snow moving west through essex into north London on the radar

Once in a lifetime late cold spell I’d say absolutely stunning.

Me and my sister made a mini snow creature. It was too powdery to make a proper sized one.

So your early morning radar grab shows everything north of the thames now due west & the thames waking up from its slumber !

i'd better get out and build a snow-ant before it all melts. must have got at least 0.1cm overnight....

[Freezeflake]

Need to travel down to Crawley, could southeast London see anything up to 4pm? Probably should work from home.

Right let’s have some thoughts on the next two days. Last of the Beast!

@Steve Murr How we looking Sevenoaks way today, Not far from your neck of the woods

[snowblizzard]

We were really lucky in Tonbridge, very satisfied with around 6 inches of level powder snow!

Both Monday & Tuesday nights one of the streamers ran straight over my location, virtually direct hit!

It's been a really exciting week of model watching with possibly more to come Thursday & Friday?

It's been fantastic reading all the posts and I'd like to thank everyone for their contributions, especially Mr Steve Murr!

Winter wouldn't be the same without you mate!

Keep an eye on the radar & shower angle - you need a bit more NE wind than me

Wow that sucked for you! Here in Tilgate we got around 2cm last night, that shower must have just grazed you.

Radar grab

snow moving South WEST

London / NW kent on alert !!

[Hellboy]

Some snowy looking clouds to my north. Radar confirms some flurries hitting the Hoo Peninsula. 

Not sure it'll reach here. Going a bit too East-west.
