SE and East Anglia general weather discussion 07/11/2018

[Snowman.]

After a small rise in temp and do we're heading back down.

Really hope the models are over exaggerating that off shore flow, otherwise I'm in for a wet night. 

[kold weather]

Low pressure is really obvious now on radar. Moving ENE, just north of the channel islands at the moment. As long as that keeps its north motion, the system will continue to gain latitude and head north.

[coldcity]

Snowing in brighton...kemptown 

[classylady]

Just managed another sneaky look out the back door!  Nothing much to report from here in Ninfield. Fingers crossed for us all later!

Hopefully! Although I was less positive than I was a good few hours ago!

Were you the poster a few years back who was mad as a Thames streamer and Medway streamer went pass you by , think eventually you got lucky ?

[Dave Green]

Some light snow now starting here in the London Docks

[Dbarb]

Is that something I see in the Thames estuary or are my eyes decieving me lol

Could be imagining it, but smatterings of the Thames Streamer could be starting up.

I'm usually mad half the time  I can't remember, it's been a few times we've been forecasted something and nothing happened.

 

I remember that RED ALERT event we had, 10-25cm, and... nope

Interesting development. 

[West Sussex Kate]

We have got our first tiny flakes near Horsham Sussex

[abruzzi spur]

Can confirm as shown by recent radar shot that it is dry in Reigate.  Suggests to me that there is some fragmentation, although possible the gaps will fill in as it continues to push this way.

Something to keep an eye on

Front meets lp cell in the channel now meets streamer later could be interesting.

 

[Keefo]

Very light snow here--grains

Temp steady at -0.8C

[Froze were the Days]

Funny how only a day or so ago people were saying this was the 'main course'...well if that's the case that mouthful of Hors D'oeuvres was the equivalent of eating a rotten snail wrapped in lard.

[StLuke]

Definate up tick in moisture at the mouth of the estuary! 

[Mark Bayley]

Temp dropping like a stone, now 0.1c. Going to be a long night of radar watching!

I've been here two weeks,I don't seen I've ever seen you post anything positive

[Nick F]

Worth noting for those in southern half of London, much of Surrey and N Kent, although radar shows light snow, most of it is not reaching the ground and is probably evaporating in the dry air towards the ground, snow may not arrive for a bit contrary to the radar! 

[SLEETY]

When is the heavier stuff arriving, this won't make a snowman if it carried on for a month

[Daenerys]

Wind suddenly picked up and slight snow flakes in Epsom Surrey 

[abruzzi spur]

And just as I posted saying it's dry in Reigate a few flakes have started falling. Just to make me look daft.
