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

It has stopped snowing here. A reasonable covering here so at the very least there was a decent snow event here.

Just been out to feed and water the birds, reckon we had 3ins to 4ins of snow yesterday, noticeably warmer and weather station reads -0.1c

Seed and fat balls depleted, off up town later to replenish supplies, be nice to warm up a bit this week

Three inches on the bins here so not a bad effort at all.

Hope those sheep were ok this morning.

Just got up, omg so much snow fell in the night i think we must be snowed in again!

Another couple of inches here overnight, my snow clearing effort was for nowt   time to start over again. Here’s hoping that rain the Beeb are forecasting for tomorrow melts it all and we can get back to normal (sorry I know some don’t want it to go, but I’ve had my fill of it) temps allegedly up to 9c with sun Monday

Overall a pretty decent cold spell with temps never getting above freezing this week and many days of snow actually falling. Currently have a very decent covering here as photos from other members in Peterborough have shown. Only negative comments is I cannot help thinking to myself what if?

What if during Wednesday when the coldest upper temps, lowest thickness values were over the UK, the winds were a ENE,ly rather than the ESE,ly? All the snow that fell across Scotland/NE England would of hit here instead?

What if the cold spell occurred in Dec/Jan? even colder temps and more importantly the snowfall would of been much greater due to warmer N Sea SSTs.

So whilst a decent cold spell it still didn't match those E,lys I remember in the 1980s especially with regards to convective snowfall.

We had a lot of small flakes last night over hours - it built up to a few inches in places and others places only a cm or so - I assume this was the wind drifting the snow around. It was a lovely end to the cold 

I took a couple more photos this morning while walking my dog - this is the Hampton area of Peterborough.

Well epic end to a encore from the Easterly. Now it's drip drip drip. Very misty.
