Interesting that in Bedford there is very light snow blowing around. Can see in my garden floodlight. I think we are too far north though for any main snow? 

 

[John Stevens]

Temps steadily dropping here in Holmbury St Mary at 184asl, that's my height, the village is about another 60m lower.

define snow !

yes it will snow …………...how much will fall or settle is completely unknown ….. somewhere between a dusting and 5 cms

Its that white stuff that falls out the sky (albeit rarely these days so you could be forgiven for forgetting the definition!)  

[Ben Blizzard]

Anyone know why London & SE is listed as Amber on the warnings page but still yellow on the map??

Yes and the sad thing is I have a friend who can get the data from UKV charts etc which he has licence too as well and that is painting a daunting picture for some locations that would blow his 5cm out of the water. Not in my neck of the woods though unfortunately, and areas with elevation obviously

Oh you snow tease...

[snowblizzard]

Will it be one of those occasions where heavier precipitation showing on the radar never actually reaches us?

Stall or fizzle!

Back in the 80s Thanet had regular snowfalls. For the last 25 or so years the temps are almost always the wrong side of marginal

fair enough, I lived in maidstone then and we always got some snow

Oh, any headline figures Paul, like jackpot amounts, etc?

Because the amber warning goes slightly into the London & SE area, but its a separate warning.

[Neilsouth]

Looks as if the front is decaying on it's western flank, or radar error?

Seems to be a few snowgrains in the wind right now in Hastings...

Good evening Lightning Lover ! What's your predictions for down here ?

[frozencanals]

Evening all,

Although being a complete snow lover, I was hoping for a bit of a non event from a purely personal point of view as I have to get up at 5am to drive to Gatwick from Southend.  So if my travel is to be disrupted, it better disrupt big time to make it worth me not making back home this weekend...

So errr....  bring on the snow

Cheers

[Buzzit]

Wind and pressure from latest observations looking peachy

Where is that for Paul?

A few 20cm figures South of the M4 around the Swindon area, and also some 20cm obviously in Wales, Cotswolds, Salisbury Plain etc

[Snow Queen one]

Looking at the radar I don't see that front fizzling out before it gets to london

[feb1991blizzard]

Euro4 looks ok for Kent as well as others, at least for a few hours, looks a bit marginal later on.

 

[Tony Cassidy]

So even though the radar returns looks like it should be snowain’t in Sussex, there doesn’t appear to be much at all? That’s disappointing, here in Crawley it’s dry with no snow falling.

[Daniel*]

Thought this place would be more busy radar grab absolute PEACH brewing in channel! There should be an amber covering at least some of SE England including London.

900CM OF SNOW AND A SNOW BOM-- Sorry, I left my daily Express mode on...

I hope we get around 2-3cm, if not more. It *may* turn to rain during the early hours, but we'll see.
