Heavy frost my arse US!

marc it is probably less than a quarter of a cm. I have seen thicker frosts. It may be deeper where you are but in Southwick it could be mistaken for a frost. In any case you can talk it up but lets be honest the winter weather event we have been waiting for , for a week, has been a huge let down.

BLIZZARDING it down in London right now!

The only person I saw bigging up the snow in advance was you...!

19-Nov: snow will be falling by the end of next week. You have been warned

21-Nov: Get your sledges out for next week end campers.

Please US, get off your high horse. If you go around thrwoing absolutes like 'there will be no snow' don't be surprised when people call you on it. If you are an amateur meteorologist you will know that there are no absolutes where the weather is concerned, and every forecast is based upon the most likely outcome.

Up here is Croydon it's pelting down with snow and settling readily, by the way. The snow seems to be evaporating when it hits Burgess Hill, what's so special about that place?

 

[Bozza]

Light dusting here in and around Bristol. Had my combo walk, train and walk journey to work and it was very pleasant indeed. Still falling lightly not too far from Bristol City Centre.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

D'oh!

I can just see the start of a Thames Streamer... but it's hitting where I work, and not where I live

I am just dissapointed its been such a huge let down. Ah well at least it will be warmer by the weekend and I can stop having to use the hot air blower.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Snowing heavily from the potential streamer in Croydon - since I took this (about 1/2 hour ago) it's much deeper now.

Does that matter?

You were professing to all who listen (or read) that there'd be snow. As someone who doesn't really follow weather forecasts more than a day ahead, I wouldn't have known snow was supposedly en route had it now been for reading your confident assertions.

Heavy snow here in BR2.

The wind has shifted too much.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

The wind has shifted too much.

Ironic isn't it - we were screaming for an Easterly, and it's gone almost directly from a NNE to ENE wind, meaning we miss out.

If the instability increases I can see a streamer forming from the top of Kent down towards Eastbourne.

 

[strings]

Snowing on/off for about half an hour at a time here in Wolverhampton. I would guess there is about 2 inches in places but, credit to the council (they don't get much right), the roadas are all fine.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

The roads around where I work (as the photo shows, near East Croydon station) are starting to cover over now. Still snowing heavily.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Papa, do you realise that a combination of snow being the only weather that interests me, and you brilliant knowledge, YOU have become my main (possibly only) source of weather forecasting. The Met Office? Pah, I listen to Papa.

Btw, not being a Brightonian these days, I tend to work on the basis that if Brighton is getting any, I'm bound to on the high grounds of North Kent, but if you could throw in a quick forecast for Meopham, Kent for this week, that would be fab.

Looking very snowy for you in Meopham right now..

What's it looking like for sunny Worthing then Papa?

Dry at the moment... Unless something changes it's going to stay that way as well. the snow is very heavy here, but it's still in a narrow band centered on Croydon

Thanks, I thought that might be the case
