South East and East Anglia Weather Discussion January 2021 onwards

[NewEra21]

I think tonight is just going to be a case of radar watching, not expecting anything in my location (West Suffolk). But somewhere might just get a surprise!

Just got a call from my Pal who lives in Madrid. 
Heavy snow warning for the city tomorrow and Saturday. 
 

you couldn’t make it up really. 
 

The U.K. is the worst place to live in Europe if you want snow. 
Even central, southern Spain is about to get plastered. 

Good for them, hope they enjoy it and make the most of it Much of Spain is at quite a high altitude, which helps with snow and accentuates their continental climate. I wouldn’t say that the UK is the worst place for snow in Europe but it’s usually a rare event in southern Britain to get a proper dumping of it. Most other regions around the UK have seen snow recently, however.

I personally would rather have a white snow warning....we all know what yellow snow contains  (sorry for taking the pee out of your post) 

[all weather]

Woke up to a few flakes lying on cold surfaces. 2nd snowfall event after the NYD flurry for 15 seconds. Oh, the excitement of it all.

Snowing In Murcia atm, might change our summer holidays to winter holidays for Spain.

Topped out at 1.3C here today, temperature now starting to drop a little as the sun goes down, still some patchy snow on the back lawn which hasn't been in the sun

[paget]

Afternoon all

its a cold one here today (grey and cold!) I’m happy with that (even with no heating!!) (Farnham, Surrey) 

Temp 0.8

Dp -0.1 

can’t see it happening but I’m praying for the precipitation to keep going and come down here, saw no snow at all last year and it would be so lovely to see a bit falling from the sky!

Net weather model is good for East midlands and into Bedfordshire. Could have a dusting by dawn tomo. Expect the unexpected.

Of our region looks like could get some snow later tonight and tommrrow

[Bazza118]

It turned into a nice sunny day eventually but even so the temp only rose to 0.9c and it is now down to 0.1c so i think, given the clear skies, its going to be a chilly one tonight.

It’s the heaviest snow since the 1960s expected on Saturday over central,  North and North Eastern Spain. 

Absolutely agree they should enjoy it, just trying to make a point, how remarkable it is that on the 7th Jan parts of the South have yet to see a flake. Yet spain of all places are about to get buried in a one in 60 year event.

Bit of luck we will see something for the snow starved south

If this verifies, apart from the 2 flakes I saw the other day, I'll still be starved.

I'd laugh if I could be bothered.

422pm

-0.1 / -0.6

Below freezing in daylight hours ... Just!

[Eagle Eye]

Beautifull countryside Sunset this is what Kent is about. 

 

[NO LONGER POSTING]

Yep now negative and still just light.. Seeing forst on cars when the sun is setting is a bit strange to see 

[Eagle Eye]

About 0.5oc going negative soon probably, a night of radar and lamppost Watching with a little bit of luck. 

[TommyB]

Good evening,

Just back from another beach sunset, looked incredible tonight. Freezing out there right next to the sea! Currently 1.7c in St Leonards.

 

[Eagle Eye]

I suppose a Chance of Snow tommorrow Afternoon and then early night. Later on into the Week the odd Chance but we're looking for the SSW to be kind. 

[WxHerts]

Just hit -2c here at 5pm!! Praying for some ppn early hours, MO app just given 4pm update now for a few hours of light snow here early morning..but obviously nothing from main high res models.

[minus10]

Just as it looks like we are going to have clear skies tonite, once again in comes the low cloud. Thus preventing a good frost from forming. We cant even get a decent frost in this (so called) cold spell!!

I was looking forward to some freezing fog this morning. 

That went south as well.

[Freeze]

Lovely sunny crisp winters day today with frost lingering in the shade all day, maxed at 3c and now already down to 0.2c. hopefully it keeps dropping and doesn't decide to flatline or rise again as usual. 

This is what winters all about now all that's missing is snow, whether it lays or not.
