Clear Skies overhead briefly and wow some temp drop.

All the energy get strangled out of that front sinking south and precip decaying now.

All eyes to the Estuary for the next 6 hours, will it or wont it

Yeah. Just been outside and watched the clouds for 5 mins. Defo a WSW track to them now. Quite a drop in wind speed as well. Perhaps a lull as she clears her throat

Finally fizzled out here. Can’t complain though, it’s snowed (in varying degrees) since about 7.30 yesterday morning!  Can’t remember when, or even if, I’ve seen snow falling for so long

Essex is sucking the life out of those snow showers, just leaving scraps for London 

There's not a lot of depth to the showers. So they are not getting very far inland from the coast. Maybe 10 -15 miles in before they fizzle out. In fact the whole band of showers seem to be decaying away now.

[Kentspur]

Whats going on here? I'm only just in the snow band still seems to be clinging on for dear life to the south bank of the thames I take it this is it for the night?

Mildest it’s been all day at -1.2c!

‘T’ shirt and shorts then.

[snowbob]

South east London not lucky this time round

but some serious amounts to the east of here so all good

hoping something substantial sets up but can’t see it now

good luck those in streamers tonight

 

[Ackkers]

Very light snow. Temp -3.2C DP -4.2C. Wind NE 5.5mph gusting 14mph. 11cm level snow. 

[dallas]

Snow off now, will look later for any convective stuff

[Ackkers]

Should have added, Some house icicles approaching 1 foot!

[Jamie M]

Definitely a lot more settling on pavements and roads here.

-2.3c -2.9c dp

Heavier bit coming in from near Margate which will probably the last of my lot for tonight.

[fulham snow]

Not really a lot of point having freezing weather without snow might as well have it mild (saves on the heating) humbug 

[Jackski4]

Looks like showers already in the very early stages of forming on the radar heading WSW? Thoughts?

Icon has a band of snow crossing the country Saturday 

Is it occluded or something, otherwise we are are going to be seriously cold before it comes. I think it's unlikely.

[Daniel*]

Wind now even gone east in Southend that’s good to see selfishly!

And its really got quite strong in the last 90 minutes as well. 

[Angus Mcoatup]

Well bedtime now, been outside all day since 5.15 this morning until 5,30 tonight, only now just getting warm. Repeat performance tomorrow.

Yep there is, but that one spot of anoprobe that's always there during cold convective weather, must be caused by something, but I've no idea what.

Is there a boy their, have that put a radar station there, unlikely. I don't think it's a wind farm. Not sure if there's any placforms in that part of the north sea.

It’s definitely convection, nothing else explains the reloading front now.

exactly what is Medwegians wanted!

If any night is going to produce it will be this one -12C uppers as cold as February 2009 while I’m not making parallels.

If only

dont think we will see that again

that was epic

[Hotspur62]

Just heavy snizzle here Locksbottom but with winds going ENE as PS has just stated may give it till 11.30 now.No work tomorrow or probably this week(I’m a gardener) so not as though I have to get up early .Would be great to get another top up but maybe I am being greedy.

 

stay safe
