Shouldn’t you be on strike?
I would love to be... unfortunately I have a job to do trying to keep the public on the move!

Is it safe to come out now or are we still bashing my employer (Network Rail)... dons tin hat and retreats!

Well down here on the coast we had rain, then more rain. As the colder air undercut the front it turned to sleet, then wet snow but nothing settled.
Now we have very light sleet again, all in all probably the best we could of got given the set up. At least now I've seen a bit of snow falling this winter.

Ok here goes - am I the only one who isn’t satisfied by this slushfest? In our region realistically the snow isn’t going to last regardless of if we get a CM or 2 laying it’ll be melted by midday
Given all the good signals we’ve had this winter and proper cold forecasts this all just seems like a bit of damp squib to me, don’t get me wrong I might be on my own with this it’s probably my location swaying me but cold rain is just depressing rubbish! I crave proper cold and proper snow, sod all the marginality.
Also, call me bitter but how is it we look like the sweet spot then as we get towards the off the north and midlands are always the favoured ones? Rant over, yes someone did p**s on my cornflakes
You and me both... but then we are both on the coast. I'm glad you said it and not me, I don't want to be accused of bringing all this negativity to the thread.
Good luck to those further north and enjoy your snow fix.

Don't forget about me, Tom! Proud Arsenal fan through and through!
It's fairly chilly this morning, with the temperature around 1c. Good luck to everyone later, may the snow fall thick and fast!
Fixed that for you...

A rather sobering post from @Catacol in the mad thread... lets hope tomorrow/Wednesday and Thursday give us our snow fix because as it stands the prospects for February are not great... all subject to change though obviously.

if it snows i'll blame thank you. I wouldn't be surprised if Thursday is a bust too, really have to wait for an easterly to get rid of this marginally BS
You could do well up there... it's us poor folk on the coast who will get all the cold rain.

Looks like this week is just a taste of what's to come later in the month with that very good meto office update.
So snow for many this week, but probably not too extreme, then a lull before the bitter easterlies from Siberia arrive bringing powdery snowfalls for many and extremely cold air.
Can't wait
I hope for the sanity of the mad thread if nothing else they're right Sleety... but so far this winter the Met Office extended has been about as much use as a chocolate fireguard! Even a clocks right twice a day.

Always worth noting that forecast apps temperatures can be a bit hit and miss, especially with being a degree or two warmer than reality.
Hmmm not so sure about that... down here it underplayed yesterday's and todays by a degree or two.

Was looking like the far south would be the sweet spot but alas the midlands always seem to be the lucky ones, very frustrating! Ah well it’s only a bit of snow.... right
And now the rest of the week looks like that may go a bit pear shaped too...
The way our luck has gone this winter, you just know we are going to end up with a cool spring under a constant chilly easterly... 2 months too late!

Looking forward to all the rain down here on the coast
Yes I have accepted the fact all we will have is a cold rain fest... hopefully the folks further inland might see a bit of snow, but even that's looking debatable now too.

I’m meant to be going up to the Emirates to watch Arsenal v Cardiff on Tuesday evening, arriving back in Haywards Heath around midnight. If the snow could all just pile on once I’m back that would be great.
I have been there, 18 Dec 2010... just as we got to the station the Mrs phoned me up Arsenal v Stoke postponed it could of been worse we could of been on the train.

Sorry, i'm referring to the central areas just north of London
No need to apologise...

Just now, Nqp15hhu said:
Yeah it'd be nice for us to get some snow as the South already had a covering a few days ago, that we missed out on.
Correction... some of the South did all I saw was an awful lot of cold rain! Besides you look to be in a better position for Thursday/Friday... all subject to change of course.

My money is on the UKMO. Surely can't be wrong 48 hours out?
Now your showing your a newbie to this model watching lark... never believe they cannot backtrack until T12 or even T6. Nothing is a given, yes its looking good and hopefully will come off. But do not for one minute think this is a done deal.

Yep as expected, I miss out again.

We do ok given our proximity to Europe, some of us are closer to Europe than London
plus the rest probably say the same in Sumer when we have the better weather!!
We do ok? You might.
The 2018 beast from the east was a total washout around here... the Worthing snow shield held strong, a few hard frosts and an icing sugar sprinkling of snow one morning, a very poor return considering. The last decent snowfall down here was 2013. But I agree the summer months do usually make up for the poor winters.

I've been a member on here for 9 years rarely post but always keep an eye on the various threads... the mod thread is always a bit nuts in winter but this year seems worse than ever, perhaps it's just me.
Anyway... low percentage chance of channel low delivering (in my back yard) onTues IMHO. If only we could get a bit of high latitude blocking... onwards and upwards.

Think I'll pop in here for a while... the mad thread has done my head in this evening.
Toys being thrown, dummies spat out, north v south etc, etc

To be fair, if Kent doesn’t fair well, would it be a disaster? Many in Kent were snowed in last time, but my friends just down the road from here only had a dusting. I guess it’s their turn for something!
And us down around Worthing have had a total accumulation of about 1cm over the entire winter!
I could sum it up perfectly but my language would probably get me banned... so much promise but naff all to show for it.
Roll on the summer.

The snow clearing through now is it for today -
the big clump of snow pushing up from france will hit the SW this eve but then overnight the energy will pivot & spread back SE down the channel & up into our area tomorrow morning as snow - ( maybe in the extreme south coast rain )
The GFS wants to push the front through but other models like the UKMO / hirlam want to slow it down over london / SE
That really would add insult to injury for those of us on the West Sussex coast... roll on summer!

Gaps filling in on radar - looking good -
heaviest areas ironically look in the zones that havent had a great deal so far - so fairs fair ❄️?
I hope your right Steve, because so far in Worthing all this cold spell has delivered is disappointment... not getting my hopes up though.

Really ?

Yep at work in Lancing and it's disappearing as quick as it's coming down... only a dusting to start with though.
