Am I the only one thinking the NW radar is a bit glitchy? Seems to show complete dry/dead spots in the middle of precipitation all around. Southend has been in one for around half an hour yet it’s still snowing...

Yeah, I’ve noticed that too

The large area of snow over SW Essex looks to be weakening rapidly now - to be expected, but hopes picked up a little there for some photos tonight!

It's not over at this stage, but it does look like falling somewhere between a classic ENE streamer through S London and a classic mid Kent streamer. Suspect where I am I will just miss the best of it on the South side. Doesn't look likely to be especially intense, but would still expect it to push further inland over the next 6 hours or so.

Couple of photos of drifts from here today:

The radar was showing a little bit of rain to the east just over an hour ago, but im not sure if that has made it in land now. It could fall as snizzle or ice pellets possibly ?

Difficult to say. Clearly there are showers forming and they may eventually push further inland, but we'll still need to be lucky to get into a shower stream and stay there for any length of time. Right now I'd guess we're too far south for the most intense streamer activity, but it's just impossible to know how that's going to organise itself over the next 6-9 hours.

As I noted before, the latest FAX for Wednesday looks really promising for us with a convergence zone exactly where we want it as winds switch back towards NE'ly, but as much discussed on here, there is still time for that to change... unfortunately...

Thank you. Fingers crossed for a cm or 2 tonight.

Re Wednesday, you've really given me hope that it's maybe not over for us!

Where’s “my area”. I’ve never visited. Any hints?

I thought I saw a big flake earlier... but it was only my own reflection, in Lidl's shop-window!

Surely that blob further east will reach you?

Ppn seems to keep fizzling out before it makes it here.....funny because some of the showers further north are getting right across to the western coasts with some punch left! I’ll see what unfolds. I sound like a spoilt brat

A few screen grabs from the bbc for the Thames streamer overnight. Following the same path as shown on euro4 12z

This does look good for the Reigate area and much of the Surrey hills!

Hasn’t stopped snowing since yesterday morning, a covering from over night and a dusting on top today. Just waiting to see if that heavier area reaches me in N London, touch and go I think.!!
