We have the NW wind. I think the atmosphere is just saturated.

Yes, Dps still to high in Norwich and Weymouth at around 2c, just down the road out of the North Sea flow they are more like -2c

As of the 9:56 BBC forecast, 3-6cm still expected down to low levels in essex/Kent maybe a little further north too.

 

Edit: I'm talking about Tuesday.

Surprised by that as the EURO4 showed the showers turning to snow at 3am-6am.

nothing any of us can do about it so best not to speculate and just wait and see what happens.

Forgive the terrible map, it's surprisingly hard to find a map that shows the SE and East Anglia

Red zone has highest potential for seeing an all snow event - Elsewhere likely to see rain > snow.

South coast likely to see falling snow with intensity/any altitude but rain/sleety/snow mix more likely so lowered accumulating snowfall here. Red zone 3-4cm widely, 6-10cm with any higher ground/heavier bursts.

FAX chart shows the front pivoting a little over our region which could give an hour or two of extra snowfall, worth watching!

I can see the MO warning has been updated. The expected amounts haven't changed but the warning area has been expanded a bit.

Brilliant Daniel, I know it’s imby, but for the layman that is nice and clear.  Thanks for taking the trouble to produce that.

Must say i was fully expecting reports of a dusting in places this morning, seems we are going to have to fight for it.

Norwich doesn't do well with snow. Just a slushy covering most winters.

Just a word of caution for any newbies that visit the MO thread during a build up like this, you get a lot of negative posts just because it doesn't show what that persons backyard is going to expect, you always get a fee ramps when it does show favoured situations for that person. The problem is people read that then pop into the region threads and spread the doom, gloom and the ramps.

Luckily in this thread everyone is pretty level headed.

Not looking particularly great this morning. Wonder if those warnings will he removed at all?

Warnings look better?

Wonder what they are seeing, that we are not. May be they expect the low to swing northeast, off the southeast, like some models have shown, but that seems to be the outside chance.

I thought there would be a bit more enthusiasm and excitement on here? Finally get a yellow warning of potential snow which most of us have been waiting for and it seems like most are trying to find a reason why it shouldn't happen?

Nothing has changed really. 2-3cm quite widely, 5-10cm possible over the hills/where heavier bursts develop along the frontal boundary.

Just my tuppence worth, all looks very close to marginal to me and I’m not a fan of slush. But the Met Office are still expecting some snow cover for most of our region, that’s positive.

06Z is a sidegrade if anything, still showing the 12ish hours of snow over Medway but in a slightly different pivot. 

What I would give for an Easterly, the past few years anything coming in from the NW has been a bit of a washout for us.

I think there isn't that much excitement because this winter has been abysmal for us down here with so much potential which just hasn't materialized. Even now the long term view from the Met office is for it turn colder in early Feb etc, but the Models don't appear to be picking this up, does that mean another false dawn? It could well be!

As for tomorrow night the parameters needed for snowfall look to be marginal, so it's entirely possible that people will wake up Wed morning and not find any settling snow. Hopefully not because the way this winter has gone, this week could be our best chance of lying snow until next Winter.

I'd take lying snow for 24 hours from this awful Winter right now! 

As you can tell, I'm a bit peeved about this Winter, I think it was the background signals (let alone the SSW) which peaked my interest and raised my expectations. However, to finish on a more positive note I'm hopeful that we will see some snow in Feb/March. El Nino type winters favour back end Winters for us and traditionally it seems we get our best chances later in Feb/March for snow!

Yes to my untrained eye it seems we won’t have too much snow to worry about down here in Berkshire this week , hopefully that changes on the next few model runs .
