South East and East Anglia Weather Discussion February 2021 onwards

[Woodboss]

Some very light snow starting to fall here now,it's trying it's best to creep a little more in my direction. Fiercely cold here in the wind that has picked up a bit more in the last half hour! Only time will tell!

Has everyone at the MetOffice gone to bed....heavy snow and website says not, but is and heavier on the way lol

Its interesting this, more than what was predicted...and there almost seems to be a more WSW component to it that I wasn't expecting. They will of course peter out as they head west, but seem to have NE/SW aligned bands pushing WSW to SW in places.

18z meto had a convergence zone ahead of the front and the flow perhaps just slightly more wsw than ssw. London generally could do very well a bit further west than the amber zone may intimate.

Ill watch 2 more radar frames then bed it I think. But may wake up to a bit more than the "dusting" I had resigned myself to. Will know in the next 2 frames or so I reckon.

This would be more like it to. Not waiting hours for a 5 minute shower to hit you.

Because it's based on model data.

Apps really are the worst thing to happen to weather forecasting.

Look at it on this, I don't think it convection, it's connected to the Darcy band again, and I think we have several eastward moving lows. Watch the animation.

Definitely interesting, maybe unprecedented?

[Mr Brown]

Omg this is a thick band isn’t it? Looking fairly chunky on the radar and growing...

Kinda agree. Deffo part of Darcy than convection from the North Sea. Great also to see so much moisture in the North Sea, would be surprised if there were more surprises in the coming days.

It kind of looks like it's scooping up two low pressure systems from Europe into the south eat doesn't it?

[Daniel*]

Snowing quite nicely lot more to come it seems

Looking at the chart John W posted I don't really see where Darcy can move too. If you take the fundimentals of meteorology and a Low moves to a high, it's all really kinda stuck atm. Hence my could be more surprises in store. 

[jamesgold]

Small flakes, must be that icy stuff we had earlier that settled so well. Blowing sideways, let’s see if this can continue. Lots of good noises on Twitter and here about SE London, so that’s hope

Just been outside . Clouds floating past here in chessington , intermittent breaks with the stars shining through with faint snow grains coming down .

now cmon snow please .....

[Snowman31]

It seems the southern section is weakening? 

[Sno' problem]

I am really liking the look of the last few radar runs. Expanding Westwards at a pace. Hoobloomingrah!!

I don’t think it will make it much past London tbh 

[Lampostwatcher]

North of London in a very good spot 

 

[wellington boot]

Very difficult to read this band. Might be breaking up as it gets to me, might just be reorganising.... Where's it all going?

[Mr Brown]

My radar shows like a little gap over the Thames. Seems like it fizzles slightly...

Just passed over me heading in your direction (I’m about 20 miles out) and it was quite heavy
