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

[Mark]

I feel that there is a little localised disheartment at the moment, and I feel your pain.

But the night is young and the forecast stretches for a good few hours yet. Here's hoping.

Looks like everything is intensifying just north of here, not even a dusting here yet. It happens, pleased for those who hit the jackpot tonight. 

This band actually is the real deal this time, looks like the backedge has enough instability to finally piunch through whatever dry layer has been say over us all night.

Mark - there isn't anything due behind this band I'm currently in, once that passes to the north unless the whole front bends back over me (not forecasted to do so at the moment by the latest charts) then this really is night over.

Low pressure looks like its finally to my east based on the curvature and direction of travel.

Time to start getting undressed?

Never mind the Estuary, the North Sea lake effect is really pumping up off the Netherlands.

[lawrenk]

Heavier burst in Hailsham though more sleetified do not adding to what’s on the ground.

Still, been a cracking evening here. Best since Jan 13.

[Snowman.]

Attempting to settle here now temp has dropped as the heating has come on.

Come on an inch is all I ask for!

There has been a decent covering in Bracknell...next postcode up rg42...a tad higher but not enough to shout about. I'd say 3-5cm. I'll take it.

Yes. If the temperature drops back below freezing I think we'll see a bit more depth. The snow was very wet when I was out walking and I suspect that the snow has compacted as temperature has been around 0.2-0.3 for past couple of hours. 

Blob to south of Reading seems to be keeping its intensity and is heading straight for me so looking ok. Probably a bit too far west for you though

Unfortunately for me, its not really settling at all well, ground was made too wet by the earlier snizzle and temps still are +0c so there is still melt going on all the time. Otherwise it probably would make 1cm, just about.

[Jordan S]

Lots of small flakes falling here in Aylesbury bucks been snowing since 10.40 only a very light covering apart from roads which are clear not sure how much we will get tonight..

Main roads are totally clear. Gritters have done their job well.

[tight isobar]

5cms now..

And we are still @it...

[Dbarb]

Snowing but not settling, it can stall now if it wants

[kold weather]

For areas to my north - looks like the band is starting to pivot around, could be a decent fall in Guildford area for example.

I'm going to be just a little too fsr south (story of the night, not quite right location at any point!) to make the most of that, as I'm almost out of the otherside, but for you guys further north it may still be ok.

[snowbob]

Not here

bit crap but that’s how it goes 

goid luck to all those still getting rammed 

[john mac]

15 minute warning until lampposts go out!

[Kentspur]

Up to 2c now drip drip just as it was starting to settle went north of the Thames/m4 as usual

[john mac]

Absolutely banging it down here horizontal snow. This is great! Hope it stalls with the heaviest snow over head 

[Daenerys]

Was just about to hit the sack when I noticed a nice yellow Blob heading my way, (Epsom) May just see what develops ...

[alexisj9]

OK band has gone to far north now, time for bed. The band of rain is now welcome to clear here asap, before it melts whatever has managed to land. 

Night everyone, hope it stays as snow for most of you. It was nice watching the snow fall.

Yes. Noticed that clouds seem to coming from a NE direction now. Could the worm be turning?

Could be good for here again if it does.

[saint]

Really coming down now here in South Herts.
