What you feel Paul reckon we could actually see some flakes tonight?

I wanna know too lol. To my completely untrained eye, the blob looks like it could head our way over south essex, but worried the temp will go too high....fingers crossed though

Snowing in Merstham

I wonder though if the modelled winds and dewpoints might be wrong for the morning though, if this LP has not behaved as it should and lands in a different position to where it was modelled then the winds might be ENE and not ESE by dawn which should make the dewpoints better for us

If it was heading east you wouldn’t get the arcing nw into the estuary .

I think people are getting stressed prematurely .

There's a suprise

Absolutely Nick.. I think some of us need to chill a bit and go back to radar watching school.. precipitation (snow) is clearly forming into distinct heavy bands and now starting to build back to the west and north etc etc

[snowy weather]

What's going on?

Has it turned away or something?

 

I'm in crawley and it looked like we would do well out of it. 

[ItNeverSnowsInWindsor]

Looks like someone’s not get much sleep tonight!

[WhiteFox]

First small flakes making their way past the lamp post in Three Mile Cross (south of Reading).

[John Stevens]

Steadily snowing here now in Holmbury St Mary 184asl

[rpmbaz]

NOAA radar saying heavy snow will arrive on my doorstep at 9pm which to be fair is what the Meto have consistently forecast then 4-5 hours of heavy snow as the arm pivots

The French radar clearly shows the band arcing around nw.

So it moves east but then the precip moves nw aswell.

Nick, do you think the Chiltern will be in the firing line? Met office app showing light snow for now about 30mins ago but that has disappeared to be replaced with 6-7 hours of heavy from midnight

Someone in Brighton needs to go to the end of the pier and give us a snow report lol

Ha! Sorry, far too cosy lamppost watching in front of the fire. 

Its looking increasing more positive for us Brightonians this time around though

[turkishfella]

[Jackski4]

Is it supposed to pivot NW ? It looks to be too far East suddenly ??

Just switched the radar to IRELAND and it shows a much better aspect of it moving North... thanks mate, 

[Andy H]

So is this the furthest north it will get? 

[Flash bang flash bang etc]

SNOW!

HERE!

NOW!

[lawrenk]

Steady light snow in Hailsham.

[SMU]

Just stopped at Maccy Ds on a20 by sidcup critalls corner

snowing 3/10

[tinybill]

what ever brewing  in the north sea near clacton its  geting bigger!!

 

[Jayces]

Here in South Norwood (Croydon) according to the Met Office app the snow was due to arrive around 5 PM then 7 PM then 9 PM and now it's 11PM. This just goes to show how difficult it is to predict the weather in a particular location

Sadly won't make much northwards progress as the whole lot seems to be shifting eastwards
