Actually it was probably ok, but knowing others had dreamy amounts of it was what made it ultimately disappointing! I imagine you fared well out of that in the east of the region as those down in the south did. That's how the cookie crumbles sometimes I guess. I remember you largely missing out from the great Thames Streamer of 2009 and the thread you had going then. 1991 stands out for me in terms of the amounts of snow and the beauty of it....lovely pure stuff without a hint of slush. For 2010 the awesome sight of trees frosted over as if deliberately decorated for Christmas is a sight I'll always remember. I'm guessing that the wind that we will get accompanying this spell will bring us more chance of showers but scupper the chances of getting those kinds of frosts? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coopsy Posted February 5, 2021 Location: Canmore, AB 4296ft|North Kent 350ft|Killearn 330ft Location: Canmore, AB 4296ft|North Kent 350ft|Killearn 330ft Share Posted February 5, 2021 I saw the met office forecast from 4 hours ago was posted but didn’t see this latest one so just popping it here. (Apologies if you’ve already seen it) This forecast has more in the Amber. Its not often a forecast talks about ‘significant’ snow and ‘all day heavy snow’ and parts of the SE getting ‘cut off’. Sunday for those in the Amber will likely be an all day heavy snow event, even in the yellow it’s going to be good. And if I’m not mistaken on the 30th anniversary of the legendary 1991 snows. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Watts Posted February 5, 2021 Location: Brighton Location: Brighton Share Posted February 5, 2021 23 minutes ago, tomp456 said: The only significant snowfall I remember in my lifetime was around March/April ish in either 2007/8 where we got a streamer, and in December 2009/January 2010. We got a few flurries in 2018 with the beast from the east but the snow amounts was nothing noteworthy in my books. Hopefully, we’ll get a stonking streamer that sets itself up to bury the south coast in snow. This would go some way for Mother Nature to repair the mental damage she did on me last year, with a measley one or two claps of thunder throughout the entirety of 2020. Remember these events on the south coast? April 2008, February 2009, December 2009, January 2010, but the best being December 2010, over 35cm here in Brighton! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yh 1987 had 30 foot drifts due to the wind and its why it beats Dec 2010 but yes all these are all regional as 2009 comes in 7th in my list whereas it would probably come into the Top 3 for most others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet it didn't snow at all! Yes I do remember that, it decided to go south into the channel and France. Problem is about two weeks later ISH, it happened again, and that time the bad weather did hit, and people got stuck. Moral is, never ignore a red warning, always use the radar before setting off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Shortwave Posted February 5, 2021 Location: Peterborough Weather Preferences: Snow and frost in the winter. Hot and sunny, thunderstorms in the summer. Location: Peterborough Share Posted February 5, 2021 (edited) ECM rolling out now. Monday looks the most promising in terms of shower potential. A definite bend towards a more ENE flow through the region and a finger and very cold air moving through the region. Thames estuary and areas south west of the Wash look very good potentially. However showers should be widespread so hopefully most should see some snow falling, which will settle in sheltered spots out of the wind.
