[Daniel* 9,965]

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.

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

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.

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

For real? AWESOME

The Berkshire downs and into Wiltshire always do quite well out of these situations. Some great sledging hills round there too!

the post you replied to mentioned thundersnow near the coasts ……..that's why i asked - you seemed to be excited at  the prospect of seeing it!

Yes - I get excited if somewhere like London will get thundersnow tomorrow because if it's nighttime you will be able to see the cumulonimbus potentially holding the thundersnow from my bedroom window. Last year (March 2018) I saw the little flickers of lightning in the cloud when the storm was Margate!

but not in your garden Jemma …….next door, yes, but you will have to make do with a cm 

[onepingonly 185]

Small bit of caution that the PPN is really dying off fast at the moment and I’m not far from the coast. Hoping some stronger bands come through.

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.

Snowing in hildenboro and thats startling in its self.. Tonbrige is to the south east as furnace creek is to death valley

There is a growing band of them that preach the Mild, Not for me too say but maybe they are nudged in that direction for Joe Publics sake, gone are the days of proper forecasts and forecasters who told it how it was in the 80's and 90's

Sad Times

Bring back John Kettley - massive cold ramper

I was lucky enough to catch one storm that dumped 27 inches. There are some pics in my profile. Hard to believe it was 13 years ago!

Awesome photos, thanks for sharing

On the radar it definitely looks like the pivot has started, but I may be imagining it....

[ChezWeather 967]

Meto precip charts showing Kent as the favoured location later 

Is this whole mass of precip going to pivot and start moving N/NW?

We'll just have to wait and see tomorrow.

Hahaha. Wouldn’t be surprised 

[throwoff 994]

That radar looks to be ahead of schedule at the moment...

[nimbus 3]

Nothing here yet just north of Petworth. Whatever the radar may be saying it isn't reaching the ground yet, but wind is getting up.

 

[Stu_London 543]

main ppn band seems to be moving in a due northerly direction now

[Neilsouth 1,365]

Just saw this on TWO

 

" Amber may be modified shortly, removing W Country but extending east to SE areas. The small wave low now running along the Cherbourg Pennisula coast will enhance ppn and push it into Sussex/Kent from 9pm. Larger totals likely here than previously modelled.
You can see this process happening in the radar loop. "

It's looking a lot less likely for further west, those expecting 10-20cm or so more especially

[WhiteFox 794]

Temp 1.0, dp -2. Currently dry, but can see cloud base lowering. Can also see planes stacked for approach to Heathrow (often pass over here when wind is of an easterly orientation), so suggests cloudbase is still that bit higher to the north.

 

Three Mile Cross.

[chionomaniac 24,698]

Light snow in burgess hill

[jojobut 22]

Snow flakes are falling here in Burgess Hill, West Sussex

[abruzzi spur 4,693]

Back in Reigate now.  Dry but the wind has picked up. Radar suggests there should be precipitation but so far there isn't.
