Ok

UKV just updated

closer now

Still a miserable amount of snow as far as I am concerned. 

depends on how much one has not seen

For me 1-2 hours of probably of wet snow between 9-10 am followed by a wait for the fading occlusion to drift south and then minimal. Met office app suggests sleet only too. Normally the worst case scenario is the real scenario in expected snowfalls. Probably get more on Monday when not mentioned

Looks like we are both going to miss out again. Why is it so hard for our area to get zone when places just to our north and east have seen snow. Eastbound has even had snow down to the beach this winter.

Huge upgrade from Met Office for me too

[Cheese Rice]

I can't say I'm optimistic at my location but you never know.

Where is this dude?

[essexweather]

As above, perfect upgrade for London, Essex and Herts. If forecast is reality, then a lot of snow today in these areas :)

[abovefreezing]

I don't like the look of it. A narrow band, drifting too far to the north. A little drizzle here, perhaps? Nite nite

That’s a big upgrade for me was either dry or showing sleet

Met office.apps been changing so much I can't keep up it was completely dry or showing rain at times yesterday but now at the 11th hour I have heavy snow symbols a little sleet then hours and hours of light snow its the best yet! BBC shows a mix but mentions heavy snow.

 

By the time I've typed this out no doubt it will have downgraded again

UKV 00z is brilliant focal area around London! Please be true! 
 

[essexweather]

FWIW, Exeter say northern extent of the precipitation today is River Orwell at 14Z, so basically Suffolk border southwards looks to see something from late morning before it dies off around dusk. London does look the sweet spot to be honest, lets hope the UKV is on the ball this time.

My thoughts on today's event if anyone fancies a read at this ungodly hour: https://www.essexweather.com/weather-forecast/

It will be interesting to see if UKMO update the existing warning. This wouldn't be the usual 11Z update, more likely 05-06Z if confidence or impacts have increased. Yellow is sufficient still, certainly not amber territory.

Should be a good day for the region, those who have missed out from prior events

Darn it! They look yum...and I feel I might have to make a post-midnight snack now

[Mizzle]

Very excited to see my snow has been upgraded again ( after Saturday's good start then downgrade, then upgrade a bit). Now show potential from 8am - 10pm . Everything is crossed ❄❄

[lassie23]

when is the precipitation supposed to start and do I need an umbrella or sledge?

@Daniel* Me too!

[jamesgold]

Well I joked yesterday about how stupid an upgrade on my app was, now I’ve got a more realistic upgrade, looking at that UKV further up which has really taken me by surprise. Fingers crossed on a selfish note  

[E17boy]

I could not sleep in excitement very frosty here in NE London Walthamstow. Can see now that the high cloud has crept over now. Looks like an upgrade for London app says 11am now for kick off al the way to 8 pm woww if all that settles and is fairly heavy could be a good surprise but fingers crossed for all you nice peeps everywhere

[The Beast From The East]

Wow.... It's snowing outside.............

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just kidding, did you rush out of bed to take a look?

Sorry but I'm praying for snow today, we have missed out to many times already this winter...

[NO LONGER POSTING]

We still looking at the computer generated symbol forcasts I know its desperate times but come on guys and girls you know the score now.. Radar time.. 

Looks to me ARPEGE AND ICON to be dropped far to of the mark.. GFS was of the mark last night and I knew it would be so binned that too..

Looks like the UKV and to some extent the Euro4 and arome although armoe goes to far north I feel in the afternoon its also struggling with the PPN behind the main band.. EURO4 touch to north but I assume will correct on the 06z when it eventually comes out.. 

5CM is being reported out of some western regions and they are just passing under the front without it slowing down and stalling. 

What will happen now is the northern part of the front will slow right down and decay into nothing for the next few hours as the southern part of the band swings North East.. This will then slow down and almost stop.. Pivot and then slowly sink south. 

Who ever lands under the pivot (still looking like London/West London Surrey hills) will hit the sweet spot and I'm guessing 8-10cm if intensity can keep up while it pivots
