East Anglia and North London weather discussion (25/02/2018) onward

[mpkio2]

Lampost viewing has begun!

Moderate/light snow still falling in Central parts of London.

[Richard Waugh]

There's a lot of showers in the north sea tonight just clipping the North Norfolk coast heading towards Lincolnshire as they head west, hopefully we can all catch a few of them

[March]

Not much here. Very patchy, couple of cm where the sun hasn’t shone, very patchy everywhere else. More noticeable is the daytime  cold and black ice in villages. First ice day since I got my weather station 3 years ago.

sorry - euro4

I think its a toss of a coin whether we see much more than persistent flurries tomorrow or something a bit more substantail

 

thought you meant ec 

Which is more accurate in your view euro 4 or hirlam ?

[Frostbite1980]

I have a feeling tomorrow is going to be very frustrating for most in this regionn but Friday may give more snowfall to most of the region, how much is unknown but there are some suggestions the front may stall over the northern part of the region before dying out.

It's -5 already!

still a few snow showers around too. 

[Freeman]

You can almost feel the bitter wind blowing.... I have a video of the snow drifting but it's too large for the forum!

[mpkio2]

No lamppost needed!

Heavy/moderate snow still falling...

[saint]

ECMWF a tad further east... Nothing like the HIRLAM, but still. Possibility of a few CM's the further west you are.

[Ben Lewis]

Crikey, -5.5 driving home from work at 5pm

The cold is intense - near on comparison to how it felt in Montreal Canada earlier this year. Incredible 

icicles hanging from cars and gutters, last time I saw that - well I can’t even remember.

 

[lassie23]

-3c all day here, now -4.5c, light continuous snow, none of that grain super duper either, proper flakes

[shotski]

This cold spell isn’t going anywhere folks. Massive turnaround this evening.

I really hope this verifies, but it is just one run from one model....I need to keep my distance for now, I can't get sucked in just yet!

[ITSY]

Really frustrating for cambridge, this. Too west for 99% of shower activity and too east for frontal systems. Shame to have only got an inch from these epic Synoptics. As ever, NNElies best for us. That said, we've had at least an inch of snow 5 times over 4 months this winter, so can't really complain. Plus who knows what tomorrow and Friday will bring! 

[Pirata]

OMG the MAD thread is going nuts, looks like the ECM is giving us a surprise. Just one run BUT who knows! It would be amazing to verify and give us ALL a load more snow for the weekend!

[Mr_Pessimistic]

Well well well, I am so surprised, the snow starved North Suffolk for once got a good dumping, over 8" and now drifting to feet deep drifts off the fields, really did not expect this, even got off work early.  Lots of fun going for a long drive earlier, hand seemed to keep slipping towards the handbrake for some reason though...

[Ben Lewis]

Tomorrow snow potential looking like the most Northerly extent is Milton Keynes possibly Northampton 

In a S’Easterly line through Luton down to the capital. 

Even this is questionable. 

Friday? Who knows... 

south and west of London look to do well...

Wish it would go somewhere else soon. Right nuisance this time of winter. Don't get me wrong I like seeing a nice dump of snow. It is the collateral effects that are a pain. 

[tinybill]

i dont think  the bbc weather knows what going to happen radar saying snow in our area  to night

 

[chionomaniac]

Wasn't expecting to see quite so many flurries over our area this evening

 

Would say is it snow blowing up into the radar field ..... but you don't get this over the sea!

Looking at the latest radar for the SE. lots of moisture coming off the North Sea that doesn't seem to have been picked up in the forecasts.
