South East and East Anglia Weather Discussion February 2021 onwards

[pinball wizard]

Pavements that an hour ago were riddled with puddles are now dry here. Once the white stuff comes it will settle fast, wind noticeably stronger and colder. Waiting for the ppn now... May have a quick snooze before the fun starts around 1

Yes, eastwards.  Look at the Met Office infrared radar and play it forward from this afternoon.  The Darcy system (the bright arc of cloud) expands slowly north but also tracks E/SE as a whole at the same time.

I’m sorry did you just say it could miss the entire UK?

no that’s not gonna happen. 
If you’re looking at MetO radar app, then that’s why. 
 

I still expect around 5-10cm where I am tomorrow. But we will see.

Metoffice app 24 hours ago showed heavy snow for my area tomorrow, now shows dry apart from light snow at 20.00, i think the metoffice should be scrapped if this is the case as they are crap 

ignore the apps there pointless there automaticaly generated using generaly 12 hour old information look at the radar not the apps

[Tim Bland]

Looks like it’s just north of Amsterdam atm which is similar latitude to Norwich so looking good for all the region from that perspective...just a case of how far west it gets now. Expect it to hit Uk land in a couple of hours..

Take a look at the Met Office infrared radar and play it forward from this afternoon and see the system's overall movement.  This isn't a model, it's the reality of what has been happening.

It will arrive

its only 10.30

any sleet now is a bonus

well, looks like a damp squib for Crawley according to the metoffice lol. 

The Met app has us down for snow until 3 am on Tuesday. Chill and enjoy the ride. So many people are taking too much notice of weather symbols. You will see snow !

Big fat flakes began falling here approx 15 mins ago Settling on tarmac and grass although not falling heavy... Yet

I'm in Prestwood. Big flakes here but too wet to settle. I really hope we have a snowy day tomorrow

Don’t lose the faith.....couple of weeks ago we (BHAFC) were on the brink of the drop zone.......a few decent results and all looks very different

Hope so mate. I was looking at their website. BBC website looks cracking though.

I tell you what Ian, when lockdown finally lifts, you are the first on my list to the party. 

I'm just being pragmatic and saying what I'm seeing on actual satellite views, not models.  If it reverses, I'll be delighted, but...

[SnowBlake]

Nothing will die out, coldest still crossing north sea, will generate further precip as it does so whilst dragging in colder air from the continent.

It’s been so long since a proper snow event that I’d forgot what a hell hole this thread became in the countdown till the snow arrives, it’s amazing that some frozen water falling from the sky can turn normal human beings into manic, froth mouthed lunatics

I blame the weather apps, mine was showing light snow from 2 AM to lunch time Tuesday an hour ago and it's just changed to sleet until 5 AM, a couple of hours of light snow and then dry until tomorrow tonight with a few light flurries here and there

Precip turning increasingly wintry now  keep an eye on your lampposts people, any reports would be great maybe London will start getting some blobs soon

I've got my torch ready and waiting. 

[stainesbloke]

Good luck everyone! Temperatures are falling away now in many parts of the SE, should start to see snow appearing in a few hours. 
Been snowing all afternoon and evening here in Prague, after a wet, chilly morning. -3°C now and looking very cold this week (-15°C on some nights), so I think the Atlantic won’t be making inroads anytime soon.

[Froze were the Days]

Roger J Smith in the mod thread reckons it's looking good for us in the south east and thinks the precip charts are being conservative on totals and wouldn't be at all surprised to see spots easily get 20-40cms...he added a BOOM! by the way.

[snowbob]

Serious jerk reactions in here tonight

relax the snow will come 

not meant to be until at least after midnight

[Dbarb]

Snow line seems to be nearing north of london now

With 'Darcy' expanding but still moving E/SE as a system, unless its expansion is faster than its movement away it will miss the UK entirely at the current rate of progress.

Yeah, but it chucks a left at Calais.

I am not even commenting in here atm, just laughing at the comments in the background

Your wasting your breathe Daniel. Leave em to it

 

Exactly. I can’t understand the doom-mongering posts when the event hasn’t even started!

Going exactly to plan here as far as I can tell. Temp dropping about a degree every 90 minutes, down to 3.8c now with a DP of 3.3c.

Link to my garden weather station if anyone wanted to take a look..

The weather apps don’t control the weather, be patient and wait and see, otherwise you’ll ruin your enjoyment that’s my advice. Besides even the few that miss out in our region will be in the game for streamer setups and showers piling in off the North Sea in the coming days. Every easterly we get is always the same, showers and other features are under played.
