South East and East Anglia Weather Discussion February 2021 onwards

Latest fax has the current streamer that’s roughly into my locale on too

[TSNWK]

Wishing thinking maybe? But to my eyes the last 20 mins or so the perception out in the eastury has started its westward crawl

[caught somewhere in time]

to be honest this alone is the worth the amber for us its hazardous its small stuff but the visibility on the roads for driving is dangerous 

[suffolkboy_]

Really different feel to things out there now. We have 11cm of snow laying, -2C, powder snow falling and wind has picked up. I've just done a 5 mile journey from my parents (within Covid rules before anyone says anything) and I only just made it back. Drifting is getting quite bad here and the Amber warnings are very much warranted now in this part of the world.

[Thunderstruck]

Sounds like the roads round here are very dangerous, both the A127 and A13 are blocked by accidents

Be careful if you’re travelling tonight!

Latest Met Office forecast show snow showers continuing to stream into East Anglia and the SE overnight and Monday

It's not over yet! 

 

They're not making far enough inland for me

[kevey]

Radar says no, but it is still snowing steadily here with tiny flakes. Not settling though

Still might spin....

Keep the faith 

It needs to do a twirl let alone a spin !

 

fingers crossed for early hours Monday - at least if anything falls it’s gonna be on frozen ground.

About 5cm here on top of the bin lid. Even managed to do a little snowman before it got dark all eyes out to the North Sea now. Some streamers starting up.

I have heard the 127 is shut at Rayleigh weir? My road outside is on the gritting route but nothing has been gritted. Road is iced up, be careful out there especially in the morning.

Been watching this today Boston USA getiing a hammering.

Pretty much anywhere that has snow falling now will continue to get some for the next 4-5 hours although intensity will come and go

Similar here in Pakefield. Just beneath the powdery snow there was a little melt going on this afternoon. That has all frozen now and another covering of powder snow has hidden the ice. A lethal combination on the roads. Also drifting here...but currently the streamers aren’t reaching us so the snow has finally stopped...around 10cm on my lawn. Looking at the radar...some of those streamers may clip here in an hour or two and overnight. Local schools mostly closing.

Yeah, that’s what I heard too, with Bread and Cheese Hill also being blocked. Good thing it isn’t a normal rush hour out there!

Running the radar from 7-8ish, snow really seems to be fading pretty much just before it hits my patch. I’d imagine Mildenhall way must be having some decent snow?

[throwoff]

That latest METO forecast looks great for Medway

[caught somewhere in time]

this is now the worst  ive seen it here all day 

[Sidsnake]

Well, interestingly our house is on a bus route.  Freezing here and no grit.  I've parked the car at the side of the house as many years ago I saw a bus skid... does make the old ticker move when that bus is heading towards.... Your Car 

[Gonzolio Martinez]

Why can't it just shift southwards a little?

I hope so! Been 3 years since we had proper snow

And by extension, if you haven’t, you won’t. 

[95 Degrees]

We got the lightest dusting from the snow towards the end but overall on Day 1 of Beast 2020 extended vs 2018 it is Feburary 26th 2018>Feburary 7th 2021

[slater]

Still have a force shield here 

[Marie]

So is this it for areas that don’t have snow falling now then ? No more tonight ? Asking for a friend
