[Dami]

Same here, BB...Only too typical for the Triangle of Doom!

[Zak M]

Met Office isn't showing much for the SE for the Thursday event unfortunately

That blob is just going to miss me any one got snow or rain or sleet or Cats and Dogs ?

[smichling]

Very light sleet here in Barnet, North London. 

[John Stevens]

Maybe..... probably not... although the height and location are favourable here!

This is clearly the blob that might give a few flakes....

I got caught in a brief hailstorm here in St Leonards on Sea shortly before 4.30pm this afternoon. It turned to rain within a few minutes, during which time the temperature dropped from 8c to 4c and didn't recover.

Not expecting any snow down here on the South Coast but if memory serves i think I predicted February 26th for snowfall in Tom's competition ?

I don’t think I will get anything right down here. I know I sound very pessimistic but I don’t have elevation and I live right on the coast. It would make me smile just to see a snow flake on ANY of my weather apps. The Met off tells me I’m not going to get anything, no rain no sleet and 100% no snow. Good luck to you northerners  (your mostly all more northern than me)

I was caught in that downpour and you were right the temperature just fell away. I think we might be the unlucky ones @SenlacJack

Heavy snow! No chance of settling unfortunately but great to see nonetheless

Temp will drop fast so you may get a dusting !

I’m hoping so but keeps on turning back to sleet whenever it gets lighter so it’ll be tricky I think 

[SMU]

PPN building on the SW flank now.

Temps 1.9c !

[smarklew]

I’m looking hopefully at this blob..... but all the snow symbols have gone from my apps. 
 

Every time I tell myself it won’t happen, don’t get your hopes up. And every time I do!

So much for wintry showers!

It's been raining heavily for almost an hour here in N London. No snow, no sleet, no evaporative cooling - just freeeeezzzing cold rain. Thursday's going to be a washout isn't it?

[snowray]

Another direct hit but just rain here too.

[saint]

Was nice to see the first flakes of the winter here! 

[Stabilo19]

Snowing in Luton - so v. fine margins between rain and snow. Seems like London is on the wrong side at the moment!

[SMU]

Gutted > A few flakes falling here & there.

Missed by 5 miles to the East.

In a word: probably. Would be nice to see snow falling but it’s unlikely to settle. I suppose it’s a bit more exciting than the recent constant wind and rain

[Donna3397]

I’m confused about Thursday apps roughly saying 5+ degrees here in rye could be 9+ but charts (some) mentioning snow

I'll be amazed if it snows on Thursday in Rye, a couple of miles away from the sea, and no elevation at all, a continuation of rain, just slightly colder rain
