South East and East Anglia Weather Discussion February 2021 onwards

[Nick F]

With winds from the NE and strong on Sunday, coastal Essex / Suffolk, north and east Kent look favoured for biggest totals through much of the day, some localised heavier bands persisting could bring narrow higher totals too. Some uncertainty how far inland these bands will get too, something models may not pick up on too well.

Sunday night into Monday winds switch more ENE as that low over Low Countries moves further away, so potential IMO, for a Thames Snow Streamer to set up and bring snow further inland across S London suburbs/ Surrey/ west Kent, E and W Sussex.

GL, Woodchurch! BTW, I think it was you, who, in the last episode, told me rain had arrived. So I gave up, and went to bed. Most strange. From cold and icy to wet cold rain in 30 mins

Thats a positive as it means you have every chance of seeing heavy snow ....many will only have light snow or overcast as a consistent prediction 

In the battle of the the ‘crap apps’ my iPhone app beat the MetO app hands down during the snow day a fortnight ago. Currently phone app shows the snow transition as midnight for Gatwick (MetO 4am).

At least you still have snow. My area now seem to have dry spells in, originally was heavy and light snow!

That would surely be cold anyway.  Perhaps Kentish roulette?

It probably was, I noticed it was just rain fter about a minute. Tommorrow could be brilliant, you're further north than me I think and Ashford and sorrounding areas could get lots of snow falling with deep snow as well, keep you're camera at the ready and you can always sleep for 18 hours wake up late Sunday to mass snow.

No, I was wondering about the Met Office measurements' accuracy.

They are always an hour behind.

I always like this one in these situations. Stay away from the forecast tab(I think its automated). But certainly the temp observations are valid:

Apps are not great on snow.

sometimes you are under a rain / snow belt and it's dry.

I find ...Will it rain today as one of the best, and you can put your post code in to narrow the  rain/ snow bands down

[Paul Sherman]

Friends in Holland say Wind is strong easterly now

[Neilsouth]

Big difference out there already compared to this morning! - Sea fog, wind picking up, cold air

Hmm gonna be windy, need more info, the outer winds or the low center, makes a big difference.

[mulzy]

(Snow) for the many, not the few.

I hope that’s the mantra for this thread.

Watch the animation on this! Can see the shift in wind direction straight away

Wouldn't be the first kick in the balls I've received from Darcey. My daughter did it a few months ago
