Well the 18z ECM is out and thankfully no southward adjustment. A slight delay but its very consistent with the 12z ECM.

Still gives a peak around 2 inches in 3hrs for southern coasts as per the 12z ECM, and band weakens at a similar place (over E.A and places west).

As far as I can tell, yes Hammer.

The models have not been very accurate for this area, recently. The EURO4 predicted snowfall on Sunday night, we received heavy rain all night, with a temp of 2c. The EURO 4 also predicted snowfall for this area this evening and overnight. 

None of the models from what I can remember predicted snowfall in Central Eastern England and rainfall in Eastern East Anglia tonight.

The Sunday night / Monday North Sea wintry showers the EURO4 always overplays - similarly 2 weeks ago it suggested 10cm of lying snow in Norfolk, when most other models only had 1cm. Eventually it backed off the idea - this is a known issue in the EURO4 with it's convective rain rates being excessively high, and hence convective accumulation too high.

This plot from 21z may go some ways to help explain the marginality of tonight's rain/snow. Red shading highlights areas where the dewpoint is warmer in reality than EURO4 expectations, while blue depicts colder.

Not done too bad, and its still snowing quite a bit, cheered me up a bit, shame we can't get a main course, a week or two of this would be heaven.

Starting to ease off here - Hawkhurst, Kent. Everything white barring main roads. Got a cm or two on some surfaces, it's better than nothing!
Looking forward to Thursday.

Well down here on the coast we had rain, then more rain. As the colder air undercut the front it turned to sleet, then wet snow but nothing settled.

Now we have very light sleet again, all in all probably the best we could of got given the set up. At least now I've seen a bit of snow falling this winter.

Morning all,

Up early, couldn't sleep anymore as Wife was snoring in my ear, bless her!!

So came downstairs to have cuppa and view the early morning runs.

Ended up with a partial covering on cars and wheelie bins before wet snow fizzled out, last night. Should imagine my son and daughter over at Chislehurst, fared better. Having seen those reports from members in nearby, Locksbottom and Orpington, Chislehurst's extra elevation would've seen to that!!

Attention now turns to Thursday, as was suggested on the Model thread yesterday evening, Thursday's Low now looks to track a little further South, which should mean less mixing out of cold air, for our Region. Although we vwouldn't want it to disappear off the radar, to the South altogether.

Looked at a recording of MeteoGroup's, Weather For The Week Ahead (with Matt Taylor). Matt stated that Thursday's system would be more potent than yesterday's feature and has the potential to give a depth of between 1 and 5 cms for our Region, quite widely. Although Stav Danaos only suggests 1 to 3 cms, in a recent Forecast.

Our neighbours to our N.W, will receive more though. This snow will eventually fizzle out and we'll then enter a quieter period of weather, dry but with some sharp overnight frosts. 

It looks as if some "brutal" cold over the U.S., will then fire up the Jet Stream, which will deliver alternating mild and colder spells, to the U.K. Matt finished his Forecast by stating that MeteoGroup are suggesting that a Euro High, will form to our East, in the extended outlook.

Having looked at the overnight runs, further into February. The Models seem to want to "sniff out". height rises over Scandinavia. But the Northern Arm of the Jet Stream will need to relent a bit first, IMO. It looks as if these initial attempts at a Scandy High, get flattened before taking "root".

But that's a long way off and let's hope we all see some decent snowfall, tomorrow.

Regards,

Tom. :hi:

Good morning all, and thanks @TomSE12 for your morning summary. I too am up early as the dog wanted to go outside - and what a beautiful morning it is! Glistening frost all around (our snow yesterday was fun but amounted to nothing much) and a crisp clear air and wonderful starry skies. Temps at  -2 and DP -2.6 and I wish it would stay there all day.

Ukmo ticked south on its 00z run and 00z keeps the heaviest precip in southern counties. 

However generally the models are around the same spot they were in last night, all be it with a few difference s.

Still considerable differences between front strength on the models as well. There is a pause of heavy snow forecast to run west-east but it's uncertain who would get it. General totals from ECM aren't that impressive away from the far south. Broadly 1-2 inches. However some models are more agressive.

In North Surrey here, so feeling quite optimistic for tomorrow.

Is this looking like an all snow event for this area now? The rain really hampered settling last night.

Providing no major changes, yes should be all snow.

Also models have moved this back 3hrs. That will be most beneficial for coastal areas.
