South East and East Anglia Weather Discussion January 2021 onwards

[dubmuffin]

I've just been in to the Yorkshire thread to feed off of some of the excitement, great pics and videos. It is a long, and depressingly grey and damp wait to see if we get a few flakes. Who knows, we could get a surprise fall, but I'm trying not to look too hard at the moment as there has been so much disappointment. At least if Norfolk get some, the whole SE thread can share the joy! 

Temp and Dew point 4c here

[snowblind]

The BBC has me down for heavy snow from 2 until 6 this afternoon. The met office has heavy rain for the same time. Mmm I think I can guess which is more likely. Current temp 3.1

I've seen it before - when the air is still and there is cold air not so far away moving towards us, some of the rain looks like flakes of recently melted snow. Normally within an hour or two it will have turned to sleet, and then if conditions are favourable to proper snow.  

Now that you’ve explained that, can you explain what this stuff called “snow” looks like?

[Dami]

Still rain and the band has pretty much moved from me now.

Ho hum.

[paget]

Temperature in Farnham, Surrey a very tropical 8.7 with a dp of 8.1

Raining hard for hours now!

It's something they used to have in the past...

Joking aside, I am hopeful that there will be some evidence for many of us over the coming weeks - anyhow I did see some even in south London recently on a walk last Sunday at Selsdon Wood near Croydon, around 600 feet, a thin covering in shaded patches surviving from the new year. Here it was just rain for the most part, just one or two flakes.  

Anyhow, I jinxed that one this morning, nothing came of it and dry now. I think I could cycle faster than the 0 degree dewpoint line is creeping into East Anglia. 

[Freeze]

Heavy rain and 11c

[Delka]

Temp 0.5c . Dewpoint 0c

Dusting on most surfaces! Best daytime covering that I remember since the BFTE 2018, wouldn’t be surprised to see a cm or two in some locations north in our region before it stops

Wow! over 10c difference across the region 

[Sparky68]

This sums up Milton Keynes today

[East_England_Stormchaser91]

Getting heavier here and trying to settle on wheelie bins, grass, cars and roofs! Not quite there yet. 

As mentioned, a staggering difference of temperature across the SE quadrant.

Sad to report Steve has been permanently banned from posting the best contributor in SE  what he said wasn’t acceptable but tensions were running high, one shouldn’t be aggravated by a moderator. I’m sure the site wants to look like it’s not being selective in who they punish, but yes you’ve achieved that now. Happy? 
 

weather 4C and very wet. Sums up this winter.

Hold some hope! That’s exactly how the car roof looked here an hour ago and now there’s a fairly decent coating on it, even when I said to my housemate that I couldn’t see it settling on it

He hasn't been banned. Just not posting anymore. He changed the name on his profile to SMU.

Maybe you should only comment when you have seen both sides of the story Daniel and not what 1 side wants you to hear. You were not privvy to the Private Messages Ed received which were worthy of a total ban and you only have to look at his response on twitter recently to see the language still being used.

Can we move on now from the Steve Murr debate, he isnt posting on here anymore, if you want to go to one of his concerts then he is appearing on TWO or Twitter

End of story lets get back to the weather now can we

I doubt it. Probably been here a while, but unseen by most. I doubt it's alone.
