Heavy Weather 2013

The radar just looks a mess. It’s hard to tell if some gaps are real. It looks distorted in some places as well

Good news, it is snowing at +1.8.  Must be partly due to -1.5 dp.  Only light and grainy.  Will keep you posted.

NOW it is properly snowing, but that strong SE wind streaming straight in from the Strait of Dover is just . . . urgh! Too wet to settle, just need to properly bomb it down to put down a base layer.


1.8 c but the 90% h had brought the dewpoint to above freezing.

Several centimetres cover here.


Doesn't look like a great deal much else to come - but I could be wrong - the RADAR has certainly been very poor on this event, showing  us  under and an  orange area  for ages without anything falling  !

Line of showers in North Sea developing nicely now, coming inland in a line Hull to Hornsea, moving WNW.

Snow now moderate, decent fall developing  temp has at least dropped to +1.3 from +1.9 a while ago!

According to the radar it's supposed to be dry here now but it's snowing heavier than it has all evening?


I'm confused!

It is throwing it down and temps inched down to 1.3 c but with dp at +1, it's sadly too wet for any settling right on the coastal edge. Not that it comes as a surprise to me given my location.

I'm done with this winter now, roll on the first bit of Spring-like mildness in calm winds and sunshine.

Yep, wrong side of marginal down on the coast. J11, M20 down to two lanes already just up the hill..

I think the 25 flakes in total in the Metoffice forecast were about right.

Yeah, nice to look at falling but just too warm, struggling to get below freezing I think even on the tops.  Will only be saved by really heavy snow for hours  and its hard to see that...

Only a thin dusting through the London suburbs from the train. Looking increasingly like a fizzler.

While it became as light rain for a time, it's now back to as snow and quite heavy but still too soggy for any settling.

1.3 c & 93%, +1 dp although winds are less gusty.

It has just started to snow here, in line with the radar returns which are showing the heavier stuff arriving.


Temperature just below freezing:  0.0c on one thermometer and -0.2c on the other.


We still have a covering of up to 2-3cm from Tuesday's snowfall.
