Yeah same here Surrey. ECM shows them weakening from now on and turning more to sleet as they come into the region, probably due to a rise in temps in early morning.

Still, could see a dusting for northern part of the region.

Morning all,

Really liking those 00z UKMO charts at t120 and t144. 

       UKMO TUES.29th JAN. (t120)

       UKMO WEDS. 30th JAN, (t144)

Notice the wave developing on the front, just SW of Iceland. Then that gets dragged, "whiplash" style S.E, across the U.K. The above charts are very reminiscent of how the very cold spell in December 1981, started. See charts below:

                   DEC.7th 1981.

Notice a very similar, runner (wave), just SW of Iceland that gets dragged SE across the U.K, in a very similar fashion, to the above UKMO chart, for Wednesday next week. See chart below:

                    DEC.8th 1981

image.thumb.png.39cb77150f36b7882d1c5c55137fabd2.png

The chart above depicts the situation at Noon on 8th December 1981.To this day, it remains the best rain to snow event, I've witnessed. I was living in Camberwell, S.E.London at the time, with my first Wife. Heavy rain turned to heavy snow around breakfast time and despite ground conditions being very wet, the snow settled readily. By the time the snow stopped it had left a couple of inches on the ground, not bad for an Inner London Borough. This event brought rush-hour chaos, throughout our region.

Below are the two photos I posted up the other day from the Surrey County Weather Book, with Ian Currie's kind permission. They depict the scene in Dorking Town Centre, on the morning of 8th December 1981.

I'm really hoping the UKMO have called next weeks Synoptics correctly. Looks as if it could be a pretty similar rain > snow event, come Wednesday, next week with all the fun n' games, that entails!!

The encouraging thing is, Mr.Currie rates the UKMO Model the best around, at that range. Here's hoping!!  :whistling:

Regards,

Tom.  :hi:

Can confirm nothing falling from the sky. Unfortunately looks like it’s evaporating before it hits the ground

Re. my post above, 00z ECM looking very similar to UKMO, for Tues, Weds next week. See charts below:

      00z ECM TUES 29th JAN (t120)

It's certainly been a very good start to the day. Model wise!!

Morning

Clear and cold here this morning, Currently -2.3c with a DP of -2.7c.

Looks like the precipitation is fizzling and drifting south east so might miss here but not too worried seeing next week’s trends!

There is a beautiful hard frost covering the roofs, lawns and pavements.  The temperature is -2°C which feels more like -3°C. The dew point is -2°C.

I look in the firing line in North London. A part doesn’t want snow today because I have hockey today! But I pray for it year round so if it does get me I won’t complain!

Fell to -4.1C here overnight and still -3C at 07.30. I've been looking at the radar and thinking I might see some flakes falling soon. Disappointed to read others already under the area of precipitation are seeing rain. Could be heading for really nasty skating rink conditions with current ground temps.

Radar at 07.20:1053571716_Radar07.20Thur24Jan.thumb.jpg.7b471f5a21faf973b9e63ac287261414.jpg

A crispy -4 here in N. Hampshire. Looks beautiful outside with everything shimmering in frost. Not looking forward to our milder blip coming up but hoping there are more scenes like this yet to come.

@TomSE12 From the GFS 00z ...is this kind of a Channel Low?  Or not, because it hasn't formed separately (i.e. it's not about where it is but more where it came from?)

gfsnh-0-150.png

Hi Mizzle,

No, I wouldn't call that a Channel Low actually. It's a much more messy evolution with a whole complex of lows tracking ESE, across the U.K. Much prefer the UKMO over both the ECM and GFS, version of events come the early to mid part of next week. The UKMO is a much "cleaner" evolution.

Regards,

Tom. :hi:

I've not been out yet, but next doors car windows look icy.
