I'd really encourage people to invest in 


raintoday.co.uk


I'm constantly amazed at how accurate the precip type layer is, it must use some kind of method from the radar data itself rather than MO or observations. 


2023/2024 Snow days (approx 850hpa temp):
29/11 (-6), 30/11 (-6), 02/12 (-5), 03/12 (-5), 04/12 (-3), 16/01 (-3), 18/01 (-8), 08/02 (-5)

Total: 8 days with snow/sleet falling.

2022/2023 Snow days (approx 850hpa temp):

18/12 (-1), 06/03 (-6), 08/03 (-8), 09/03 (-6), 10/03 (-8), 11/03 (-5), 14/03 (-6)

Total: 7 days with snow/sleet falling.

2021/2022 Snow days (approx 850hpa temp):

26/11 (-5), 27/11 (-7), 28/11 (-6), 02/12 (-6), 06/01 (-5), 07/01 (-6), 06/02 (-5), 19/02 (-5), 24/02 (-7), 30/03 (-7), 31/03 (-8), 01/04 (-8)

Light snow cover in the Chilterns - mainly in the frost hollows but some over the top.


Felt really cold here today - mainly overcast and dry.


Hope to get at least an inch of snow over the next 36 hours - hope I am not disappointed


Also looks good for Brian's back yard

Hail and sleet shower went through a short while ago.

Had a fresh dusting this morning but really the last few days have been frustrating, only very small patches of snow remain from last week. We have had 8 days in a row with snow falling but in recent days nothing more than light flurries.

Aha, there we go, the trusty fax chart showing a convergence line clipping Kent tomorrow.



Just have to hope that what'll come out of it is snow and not cold rain or sleet at all levels at this end. I've done a checklist of the parameters needed for snow production (850's, 950's, wind direction, dewpoint, precip, etc, etc, etc) and they've all been ticked off - except for air pressure which is expected to be on the rise by that time so any convection that does take place will have to be quite shallow but active in nature.

It's really my last chance saloon at seeing a covering of the white stuff - if I can get to see that just for the one day then I can lay it to rest (as so to speak) and look forward to spring properly arriving.

Looks like our last hurrah is going to be a twelve hour window of opportunity from about 22.00 hrs tomorrow. 850 temps are set to peak briefly at -9 with dew points circa -1/-2. Another disappointing cold spell and ironically as 850 temps reach zero early next week the wind is going S/E and I expect the daytime maxima won't be any higher than the 5 or 6 degrees we have had for the last 3 days!

A wintry mix here in Epsom, I'm hoping as the heavier PPN arrives it should sway us the right side.
