What would you expect the northern extent to be now?

All models very keen on keeping the Essex coastline snow free. This is odd though as the air coming in to the south coast has more of a sea track than that between France and Essex. I'm hoping for a surprise covering overnight but not expecting it....

Yeah may be a surprise here on the coast but got feeling temps and dew points will go up again in few hours and i think the upper air temps are meant to rise later,but we will see

By who? Yamkin ?? 

And  an amber warming means ‘take action’ .... 2-5cms isn’t requiring that - surely ???

2-5cm we all need to get to the Library and start burning books ASAP ? seriously though id Ben happy with that amount up here !

If you live in woodingdean/hollingbury or at elevation somewhere i’d be rather cautious with how far you go...I’m sure by 9pm if there’s more you than a MM of snow it’ll be CHAOS and public transport will be buggered! 

I live near the race hill and I’m in town till 9 so I’m anticipating a possible nightmare getting home

My thoughts too, I’m near hollingbury and due to go to hove but back before 9. You are right about the mm of snow causing chaos....

It was still chaos up Hollingbury way yesterday from Tuesdays 2cm where it didn’t melt and turned to ice. I’m up that way now. Waiting...

[IanT]

Temp here in Woking has fallen from 2.9c to 1.2c in the last 90 mins or so. Humidity per my Vantage Pro is 47%.

Good!

Good luck lol!

Still no sign of any flakes here, really really bitter now though.

[SMU]

So, there is no 1 ideal scenario here- we cannot please all-

A faster system which is what we have will bring a less moderated front which is great

A fast pivot means the stall out could well be North Kent, South London North Surrey...

But as ever 4-6 hours away theres still some margin there!

Radar says light snizzle 10 minutes ago, nothing to be seen! Can’t be long before touchdown now

I don’t know about other areas of the country but it’s no joke here when it snows even moderately - the transport infrastructure really, really struggles with ANY accumulation of the white stuff particularly around London - presumably mostly down to the density of people trying to complete their commute at the same time. I dread what the trains will be like later particularly - and wouldn’t envy anyone trying to navigate the road network after 9pm...

[Cheese Rice]

EURO4 is a big upgrade for London and surrounding area snow all the way till 12 in the afternoon tomorow

However we can't discount how marginal it'll be close to the estuary/cotsal areas.

Snow has made it almost all the way across the channel. First snow for the south east looks like falling over Seaford to Eastbourne and the surrounding south downs.

Another blob of snow is developing down the M3 near Bordon. Apart from Devon, all the rain has now turned to sleet in the SW over higher ground and away from the Welsh coast wales looks amazing. 

Looks like the French flag there, so is that French snow that we are going to get then?

 

A BREXIT goodbye present from them maybe?

[NO LONGER POSTING]

Ignore the stuff in front of the main band on radar I'm pretty certain that an anoprop as nobody is reporting anything falling under it.. 

Arpege is well off it doesn't have the front touching the south coast till 6pm

Hirlam more on the money with arome strangley... 

ICON slightly slow..

Yeah, no issues there mate, so baffled as to why pretty much every model = snowless for us.

That ties in with Met Offices mention of rain for Brighton in the early hours of Friday morning

Feel bit embarrased I asked what a Thames streamer was earlier as I've just seen tomorrow is my 10th anniversary of joining the group

[IPredictASnowStorm]

Is the band moving straight up or does it go up and west?

I suspect lighter echoes would evaporate before reaching the surface. Something you see a lot in the US with PPN moving in to a drier airmass.

[Downpour]

The latest Euro4 is a chart of utter beauty if you live in London. 

We shall see.
