[Misc] The Award-winning official "More Snow Tomorrow?" Thread [2024-25 Season]

[TSB]

So, big question: the remnants of Emma that are due to hit us in about 3 hours or so. Rain or snow?

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Flumping level 3 in Hailsham, and laying

Same in Newhaven. I can't see the A26 or the river now as visibility lessens.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Looks like until 4.15 at least on the snow radar

Which snow radar?

Mainly rain on the coast and inland about 10 - 15 miles (will vary with intensity) and snow inland and on hills.

Currently tipping it down here in BN1. But there's a definite sense of Winter Is Leaving. There's no wicked wind, it's not evilly cold like it was yesterday, most of the pavements and all of the roads are completely free of snow and ice. Hurrah!

Just checked again and it's moved north a bit but Worthing still might get the end of it at 4-4.15

Brief shower of sleet in Eastbourne.

Obvious response from the school...

PANIC....!!!!! "Arrange for your child to be collected as soon as possible. We are closing the school".

TBF to them this is apparently in response to "continuous parental concerns". I wonder what proportion of the concerned are male?

Really? I'm in Eastbourne and been steadily snowing for the last 30 mins, prior to that it was sleeting for about 20 mins. Weird

usually I can see Newhaven in the distance from my window at work ... at the moment all I can see is WHITE

I think radar deals with snow poorly, as it relies on the cloud temps to determine what they are.

The radar I've been looking at has the back edge not far from Worthing now

Edit to add: I prefer your outlook!

Although the bottom edge of that looks near, isn't it moving more in a Westerly direction rather than Northerly, hence the potentially longer duration ?

Maybe slightly, but the edge is getting close to Worthing with each frame. Still Level 2 large here for now though.

The temp here has just popped above freezing +0.1C I wonder how well the DP is faring to keep this as snow?

 

[The Birdman]

Moving north-westerly according to Meteoradar.

Looks like it'll be past Worthing shortly.
