[Winter Model Discussion 12Z 09/01/13> The hunt for cold ?]

I'm sure Nick S mentioned the NOAA binning the 06z which I believe runs with similar data to the 18z ( no balloon data ), that's not to say they will do the same again but they must have some reservations about the output.

Then again they may be as much in the dark as us!

Edit.... Nick beat me to it.

[Winter Model Discussion - The Hunt For Cold -18z 17/12/12]

How can such potentially disruptive weather be dubbed a 'downgrade'??? Cripes! (Ah - edit - unless you mean re snow? In which case there hadn't yet even been an 'upgrade'...!?)

[London & The South East Regional Discussion - Part 10]

3.5c here and all gone by tonight at this rate.

[London & The South East Regional Discussion - Part 6]

A 47 yr old big kid me....... and could I respectfully ask some posters to stop with all the doom and gloom its Friday and I have a nice weekend to look forward to and hopefully some snow too. Personally I don't care whether its 5cms or 50cms after the dross we had to endure around Xmas! :cold:

[London And The South East Regional Discussion Thread - Part 5]

Your on a cold weather forum so yes! I know what you mean but we want snow and we don't have the ability to wait til Sat/Sun!

Not wanting to sound pedantic AM but actually this is a weather forum cold, hot or anything in between but I know what you mean.

[London And The South East Regional Discussion Thread.]

Hi can someone answer a question for me please?

For a streamer to affect us on the North East coast (Herne Bay,Whitstable) what would it be called ?and or would we just be relying on the channel/lower north sea to give us some form of streamer?

That would be the kent streamer...... fair chance you'll see one later this week.

[London And The South East Regional Discussion Thread.]

So just generally speaking when streamers do happen how far do they N W and S do they usually reach?

Can go pretty far, both the Feb 2009 and December 2009 give 10cm+ in Brighton and as far west as portsmouth.

Given the right conditions they can reach as far west as bristol, but on the flip side they can also fizzle out a couple of miles inland.

[London And The South East Regional Discussion Thread.]

Im a newbie here ,trying to keep up with the lingo,im just north of London would the Thames streamer wollop me,trying to look at charts and maps,but getting so lost here.

Hi SJ if there is a Thames streamer you could be in the firing line........ but these are nowcasting situations and you won't know til much closer to the time.

Hope that helps. :winky:

[London And The South East Regional Discussion Thread.]

See now I keep hearing they will get mild for the weekend, is that just a blip then?

Anything beyond 72-96 hrs is virtuallly FI so talk of it getting milder by the weekend is a little bit premature........ but anything could happen and there probably will be changes by then.

[London And The South East Regional Discussion Thread.]

i am thinking or infact expecting some convection to develop over the days as the severe cold sets in, its a flow that overtime will bring snow showers.

Yep agree with you there ESS I would be a little disappointed if we didn't.

[London And The South East Regional Discussion Thread.]

What about this?

Jussila in finland check out the pressure!

[London And The South East Regional Discussion Thread.]

And not forgeting one our local weather men Steve M in Bexleyheath. Good to be back guys hers hoping the west don't get all our snow lol

If we get our North sea snow making machine up and running SQ we won't have to worry about the west, we'll have enough of our own!

there are some very cold runs on here

remember last night

people were saying winter is over etc

these are amazing

Agree with that JP it's not the done deal but it would take a massive backtrack to not get an easterly and some very cold uppers over us.

I am going to pop into this regional thread as well as the east anglia one - chelmsford essex

Your very welcome in here shivering feel free to pop in whenever you want.

[London And The South East Regional Discussion Thread.]

JP mentioned Thames Streamer earlier on. This will most probably occur as the convection from the North Sea in my opinion is going to open the flood gates to snow, snow and play it again Sam Snow I fully expect the models NOT to show the true Upper Temps. Trust me on this, we WILL get much colder Upper Temps than what the models are showing. This is one of the reasons why the MetO boys & girls are jumping around with excitement in Exeter :cold: :cold:

As much as I want to agree Yamkin we may have to wait a little longer as the easterly flow is quite slack to start with, depending which model you believe has got the pattern right. That's not to say we won't get one at some stage.

There's nothing like a bit of north sea snow convection!

[London And The South East Regional Discussion Thread.]

And after viewing some of the model runs today it could get seriously cold by next week :cold: :cold: and with a little tweak here and there very snowy too.

Fingers crossed.

Normal caveats apply of course

[London And The South East Regional Discussion Thread.]

Hi everyone, good to be back and the fact we are back means its hopefully getting COLD!!!!!

[Scotland - Cold & Windy Spell Discussion 3]

102 mph gust at Glen ogle...............

Stay safe everyone!

[29th November - 6th December 2011 Atlantic Storms]

where does it say 130 winds ? i can only find gusts of 80 max

130 kph = 80 mph

[Ex Katia - Guess The Gust]

Islay 97 mph

[El Gordo! - Spanish Plume Thunderstorm Discussion 4]

Quite, but most of this was over the coast of France, now were at a transition with water again and more may happen.

It will go one of two ways.......... its make your mind up time.

I must be honest and I don't want to be the party pooper but I feel it may well disappear into the abyss they call the English channel like so many storms before it!

[El Gordo! - Spanish Plume Thunderstorm Discussion 4]

im telling you, its looking good at the mo! note i said at the moment!! its heading straight for the south east if it stays on this course! im not going anywhere right now! lol!

I'm not saying a word...... I don't want to put the mockers on it.

[El Gordo! - Spanish Plume Thunderstorm Discussion 4]

This Cell on the frontal system is the one of interest for me.

Worth keeping an eye on Adi.

[El Gordo! - Spanish Plume Thunderstorm Discussion 4]

Dog has started acting strange now.... Never seen her like this before

My missus has started to act strange too....... Mind you she's been acting like that for years tho! EDIT Right forearm smash to side of head, must remember to check rooms clear before making such comments....OUCH!!

[El Gordo! - Spanish Plume Thunderstorm Discussion 4]

Am I talking to myself, or just imaging things??

Am I clutching straws, but Im sure its moving more northward.... Well not moving northward, but spreading northward

The circles I keep in the same place for both images, and delay of about an hour

SB I have been studying three different radars over the last hour or two (Sad I know) and to be honest I think its tracking a little more NE than what you are showing in your diagram....... Happy to be proved wrong though!

[El Gordo! - Spanish Plume Thunderstorm Discussion 4]

omg this is intense!!!! i only have one fag left!!! lol!!

Their not good for you anyway Loopy!
