  1. Just looking at the 12z NAE as the margin issue is ongoing for us east coasters. So for Friday the dew points and the 950's both look sub zero as required for any snow.. The 850' s look to be around -8 or possibly -9 so it's possible the coast MAY be ok if the showers move in through Friday night and into Saturday. But it will be close. Also positive that the north sea is full of -9 and -10 uppers which should travel east as the flow backs more to the ESE with time. I seem to have a memory from 2010 that -8 / -9 did the trick. Perhaps LS or By Tor may remember as it was the subject of moocho conversation. Also to add the 12z ECM is something quite incredible. Don't think I've ever seen a run like it.
  2. Just looking at the radar there. Is that some connection starting off the far north east coast? If we do get some showers going, I assume they fade away early tomorrow?
  3. Quit simple. Major issues if that came off!!
  4. Moderate snow on again here. Wet Today must have been very close to being a reasonable snow event. The snow thats falling is fairly dry again
  5. Hopefully shiver my shovel for clearing the drive Thursday morning......
  6. Thanks for that BT A few chance coming up. Tomorrow evening could be fun and then the chance of some classic NEly convection. Agree with your comment that these tend to push much further across the central belt than expected. Convective snow events are few and far between but defiantly my favourite snow event provided we have suitable uppers.
  7. Was just looking at the that on the radar. Could the ppn be pepping up again? That would tie in with the MO charts for this afternoon. The heaviest it's been all morning now. I agree with BT. The falling snow is dry, but grounds to wet.
  8. To be honest, the timings of these bands of precipitation are way off the money. Seems the first band is nearly through. This was ment to leave the east coast this evening? Perhaps another band showing on the west side now. Is this the band that's progged tonight? Regardless, still snowing lightly here. Nothing settled, but not really enough for hat.
  9. Snow. Small flakes. Moderate. Ground is wet though. Can't post as on phone but fantastic fax charts mid week. Upper predicted around -9 as well by then on NAE
  10. Thanks LS. Permission to ramp a little or shall we await further info? When you go further out, how long does the precip last ? Do we have a stall ?
  11. Could you please post once out as I'm viewing on phone. Ta
  12. Where is best to view our uppers and wind direction for Tuesday and Wednesday ? Had a little shower with some hail mixed in
  13. So likely that the first belt may be sleet ?? Watching the bbc forecast just there, looks to a reasonable second band through the night Sunday that may still be around Monday? Prep type at this point unknown I guess
  14. Welcome Unfortunately we can't see your location due to temporary ninja mode. What be your location. Always good to have well scattered watchers across Scotland.,
  15. Welcome. Don't worry about posting in here. It's all good with friendly people. Some very knowledgeable forecasters but we all have a deep common interest. Exciting times ahead and hopefully (but still uncertain) we will al have stories of snow.
  16. All shaping up very nicely fingers crossed. Lots of potential and as always if the temps stay as low as predicted, we will have unexpected snow. Fantastic outlook for the ski centres. That makes me very happy. Hopefully the temps will be low enough to get the snow machines turned on tomorrow at Glenshee. Happy Plough.
  17. Any thoughts on the shortwave on the 18z GSF? You couldn't write it...... Up early tomorrow for the 00z's
  18. If only you were joking. When not working, it's basically been non stop NW just now. Feel like a NW junkie. Soon as I get up. Breaks at work. Through my tea. All evening..... hello, I have a wife and children.....(or I did early last week)
  19. Would be fine for snow with the uppers looking to be around -8 or -9. LS posted on this earlier. Problem is, those uppers aren't nailed yet and and precipitation is la la land just now. That said, east wind and if the low uppers are drawn in, most likely to get convection. Lots to play for but lots unknown stil I feel. Not much help, but really that how it stands. :-)
  20. What a day model watching from my phone when possible. True roller coaster. Although far from garunteed, it has to be said that ECM run is quite simply BONKERS. Comment of the day is from Steve Muir....... "You wait 31 years for a channel low and then get 2 at once".... priceless.
  21. Where do you see total online viewers? I just see each thread. I assume that is total viewers on all threads ?
  22. I'm in the MT already. It will be meltdown if it goes Pete Tong....:-)
  23. That night was particularly disturbed but there were quite a few Thundersnow showers followed during that cold spell. It's a more common event than you think when we have convective conditions and low uppers.
  24. Thanks very much for that LS. Really quite fascinating. Lets hope we land fortunate. There must be pretty good background signals for something to be pending. Great fun to watch anyway. Still reminisce the first night the cold air arrived in December 2010 (i think) from the east with the Thundersnow and bright pink sky. :-) Snowporn
