God we are a bunch of optimists. 

Proof in the pudding. Let’s see if they issue a warning tomorrow. Normally, given how badly London copes with even a tiny bit of snow the Met don’t take any chances.

I wasn’t expecting anything here today but seems models overestimated lower dew points. That’s the stronger easterlies over a warmer sea doing that again.

Looks promising for precip to start as snow even in London and of decent intensity, timing in the morning, wind coming from south off a cold continent, would be very surprised if we all only just got rain.

Saturday's snow looks to be reserved for areas north of London, maybe high ground in SE.

Doesn't seem like much on offer for London

Hoping we dont get too many more days like that this winter, absolutely rough with a strong raw wind off the North Sea and temps ranged from 2-4c all day with 36mm of rain taking the monthly total to 52.6mm. Absolute carnage on Road and Rail down here as well with major roads closed and the C2C Line closed at times today.

The flooding didn't close the line...I drove through it twice...albeit at 5mph. What did do the trick, however, was a number of trains knackered by some overhead line problems. Caused merry hell this afternoon and evening, but thankfully I was back home before it all kicked off. It wasn't a boring day to be a driver

Contradictory forecasts again between the met office and the BBC. Yesterday the BBC had me down for snow from 2pm till 6pm the met office rain and, of course the met office were correct. Tomorrow the met office has me down for snow from 8am till 11am then sleet with a high of 3. The BBC has sleet at 7 snow at 8, sleet from 9 till 11 then rain with a high of 5.

Will wait and see if there are any warnings but I bet the BBC will be correct this time.

To sum the high res up for tomorrow morning 

ECM and EURO4 very bullish I mean look at the EURO4!

21011609_1500.thumb.gif.c03c6562bcd0b09715d13aa7719ef056.gif

 

Gives a fair few hours of heavy snow to the whole region same as ECM that would be widespread 2-5cm before it turns to rain and thaws out although if you got a a few inches it may not have time to fully thaw.. 

However.. However however however.. 

ARPEGE says yes but reserved for higher ground probably a couple of cms around Chilterns, Downs, Surrey hills etc.. 

ICON - nope rain 

AROME - nope rain 

It will come down to 2 things 

Timing of front - to late and the Temps will be creeping to high

Intensity - someone could be seeing rain 5 miles away while you are stuck under heavier PPN drawing down cooler air with a bit of elevation seeing snow.. 

 

The 12z and 18z will give a better picture what I expect the met to do is issue a warning for Eastern parts say East London, Norfolk, etc and then phrase it so it can be expanded west based on this afternoons runs.. 

Pray for the EURO4 to be right... Although Arpege has been performing pretty well recently...

This is what the METO app is currently showing for my location tomorrow, if that happened I'd be delighted. Just to finally see snow falling for a few hours, even if it didn't settle

bbc didn't mention snow for the south east tomorrow. 

I'm expecting nothing but hoping to be pleasantly surprised.. We're going to have to wait and see - the opportunity is there at least

Perhaps an hour or two tops, but I don't expect too much to settle. Nice to see, but given it will have been a distant memory by lunchtime, a touch pointless.

Yes, but if I can't make a snowman or take the kids sledging then it may as well rain. 

Let's see.... fingers crossed.

True but we are entering the coldest part of winter now... 

Sea Temps on way down land Temps and soil Temps on the way down marginal set ups begin to have a better chance at being on the right side... 

The overnight runs have also been really good..

Yes, trends have been better this morning. I think we're so programed to only expect downgrades that we forget the opposite can occur.
