Model Banter, Moans and Ramps Autumn/Winter 2014/15.
John Snow replied to Polar Maritime's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
Still time for the South I only ever do well out of east, northeast, Thames streamers and occasionally a channel low, so nothing to look forward to at the moment for me, but not writing winter off yet, can get snow up to April even May -
Model Output Discussion - The Run In To Christmas
John Snow replied to BlueHedgehog074's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
How important is this - NAO and SSW? It is talked a lot on here but is it the be all and end all? Was there a -NAO and SSW in the harsh winters of 2009 and 2010 etc? Just curious as everyone seems to be writing off winter, surely you can get lots of snow without SSW and this NAO lark? -

Far too early to bring out the razor blades, I am a weather enthusiast as opposed to an expert but that ECM just doesn't feel right, the system from the Caribbean to Russia, yeah right as if. Plus the ECM is notoriously bad post 144 so anything it is showing then should be treated with scepticism -

John Snow replied to BlueHedgehog074's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
Fair point, but the ECM has been as useful as a chocolate fire guard post about 144, at 192 and showing models totally out on a limb with all the others it is right to take it with a mountain of salt -

Think the ECM belongs in the bin, it is so out of sync with the GFS/GFS(P)/UKMO -
Model Output Discussion - The Run In To Christmas
John Snow replied to BlueHedgehog074's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
If the GFS (p) verifies as shown for the 27th, what areas would be affected by snow? Would the snow be a northern/Midlands event, or would the south get in on the action? -

John Snow replied to BlueHedgehog074's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
Oh I agree, at the moment it is "eye candy", but IF it verifies or does not downgrade significantly it is a storm that will go down in the history books -
Model Output Discussion - The Run In To Christmas
John Snow replied to BlueHedgehog074's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
If this run verifies then it will be one of the biggest weather events ever, severe gales, monsterous blizzards dumping several feet of snow on favoured areas, storm surges, unreal -

John Snow replied to BlueHedgehog074's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
It looks like Fergie and the UKMO might have been right then when they were not very excited about the Xmas period Still all to play for and I suspect some areas will get a lot of snow, but what I thought was party pooping from Ian seems closer to reality this morning -

The GFS(P) is the best chart snow chart I have ever seen since the internet was formed, the country will be shutting down if that verifies -
Model Output Discussion - The Run In To Christmas
John Snow replied to BlueHedgehog074's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
It is safe to say that a cold snap or even a severe cold snap is a 99.9% certainty in the Xmas day to new year period, all of the models are in broad agreement bar the finer details so with not a single model out on a limb it will take a miracle for a cold snap not to happen It is certain to turn cold, it is certain some areas will get snow, it's just a question of how much and where Exciting times ahead -

With the greatest of respect why do you use a snow forum if you hate snow? -

John Snow replied to BlueHedgehog074's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
From an IMBY perspective nothing to see here, will take an awful lot of shifting south for us to come into play, but the trend is cold to very cold and snowy -

John Snow replied to Polar Maritime's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
I think a post Christmas cold snap is safely nailed on How much snow there will be, and where, is open to speculation, but a cold snap is definitely coming -

John Snow replied to Polar Maritime's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
I would imagine that COBRA will be meeting early next week to discuss contingency plans, if these charts come off then we will see snow that people under 50 have never seen in their lifetime, unprecedented amounts. Southern England and London collapses after 3 inches of snow, it is quite possible there will be 3 FEET of lying snow by New Years eve -

Madden needs sectioning as does Corbyn Both make a living out of scaring old people into panic buying by peddling over the top nonsense It is looking like it will turn a lot colder in the new year, and yes snow does sound very likely at some point, but 5ft is just ridiculous nonsense -

If the likes of Steve Murr and TEITS were about i would feel more confident re snow, but their silence is a sign to me it is not going to happen, or at best it will be a blink and you will miss it affair- 642 replies

South East & East Anglia Regional Discussion 4th April 2013 onwards
John Snow replied to snow raven's topic in Regional
That band of snow coming up from France looks tasty, could give a few inches to the SE if it maintains its progress across the channel. -

John Snow replied to snow raven's topic in Regional
Moderate snow here, not really settling but carries on after dark think we will be waking up to a winter wonderland Don't really want snow this time of year but looks like a big event is brewing.
