Quickest summary I can do to help you and anyone else out.
- Easterly Continues to later this week.
- Atlantic Low blows in from the west, however retains enough cold air to fall as snow across the west, midlands, south west and possibly push eastwards.
- The cold bed over the UK then breaks up the Atlantic low, with a Scandi high return us to frigid cold weather afterwards.
Literally coldie fanfic charts.
Many thanks for that! .. that'll do for me! .. Fascinating regularly checking into the model output! .. I'm getting there deciphering my ECM's amongst GEFS's and my FL, undercuts and of course the good ole Scandi high! A code of your own but love it!

Haven't got a clue what they're all talking about, but still fascinating reading the sheer excitement from the amateur forecasters on the model output thread! By the sounds of it the latest charts are throwing up some seriously cold and prolonged wintry weather across all parts towards the end of next week! .. manic in there! .. worth a visit!
-
Oh well .. better get the Poole, Bournemouth and Purbeck snow shield out then! Guess we'll just see our normal predictable rain as always!

Poole Harbour snow shield now activated and doing what it does best .. turning anything that falls within 5 miles of it's entire perimeter to rain!

I can’t take my eyes off the Radar, it’s stunning! I need a decent hill ☹️ I’m thinking Wareham Golf Course, that has a couple of crazy hills!!
Wareham golf course! Our playground where all the kids went during the great snow event of 1978! Everyone from Northmoor congregated there! Be good to see a snow event like that again! ?

Great! Power cut in the village has just occurred and snow event not here yet!
All adding to the excitement!.
Weather radar showing heavy precipitation just leaving France heading over channel towards us - Corfe Castle, Dorset!
-
many thanks,so much to learn and take in.keep going to the model output discussion some of which I understand and some I most definately don't! lol, fascinating though!It is a developing situation and we are only into the very early stages of the current warning period which started at 7pm and lasts throughout tomorrow.
-
has this all gone horribly wrong? or are there any weather tekkies out there that can give us any clues as to where this precipitation is coming from.hunting the radar even along the french coast and not seeing much yet.
-
all eyes on the latest bbc1 forecast coming up now!
-
Every time theirs talk of snow this forum is there to work it's magic and draws you in!. This is what makes netweather great, so addictive, Great fun. All eyes on the radar and GFS for the next 24 hrs!
-
Nowhere near an expert like most on this forum and I am well aware that many charts,influences and sudden changes have to be taken into account, but surely by the look of the latest GFS it will take more than the usual Poole Harbour snow shield to keep that lot out this time!. It shows precipitation from 9pm this eve continuing well into tomorrow!
-
And from me AWD! I often pop into the mod disc to try & learn and pick bits up so to see your charts and write ups in plain english is real useful,thx!Third that! Thanks for the time you put into your posts AWD!
-
Fizzled out I'm afraid!Do you have a radar link showing this please? I'm in hamworthy awaiting eagerly...the Sky is looking orange!!

Small shower nearly on us but still thawing here,few showers about around Devon which in theory should head this way but presumably will break up as they make there way East ...Hi snowlight robbery or should I say big bro! ;-) do you think anymore is in store for us?
-
currently watching that little slow moving shower heading East currently over Weymouth... c'mon keep going not far from Corfe Castle now but will it be rain,sleet or snow!
-
Up against it even before the usual Poole Harbour snow shield has been deployed!. Going to be a nowcasting Friday I think!
-
Just starting to arrive at Corfe Castle and falling as ........................................ a few wispy flakes of snow at the mo, which should give encouragement to anyone right on the South coast to the East of us!
-
Well I'm darned,just when you think it's all over Met-Office post up an advisory for upto 10cm snow next Wed in alot of areas,what's that all about. Is it time for round 2?
-
Great to see regional forum still up and running.Perhaps they know something we don't,are my eyes deceiving me or has the Met-office suddenly sprung up an advisory for next Wednesday for our areas of Possible snow 10cm . Is the mighty cold spell coming back for round 2?
-
Nice reading and sharing all the excitement with you all and the lack of sleep!,As per normal for us Dorset Folk the masses of snow never came but hey we'll bounce back (probably with a scorcher of a summer bringing the hoards of holidaymakers onto our SUN SOAKED BEACHES !).Great to chat to a few fellow dorset peeps as well and look forward to hopefully typing away on here again before the spring arrives. Dorset Apple Cake or Devon Scrumpy? lol

I think in a model output discussion thread it's best to look at the models for what they are showing, be it mild or cold, and regardless of whether one's preference is for mild or cold. I don't think categorisation of "mildies" or "coldies" helps the situation. There are plenty of other threads available in which we can focus on our own preferences. A modest amount of commenting on personal preferences is fine, it just becomes problematic when it starts interfering with people's judgements of what the models are showing, or results in a cascade of one-liners like "ECM is good" and "GFS is dreadful in Formula One FI".
After all, the "newbies" often come into the MOD to help improve their understanding of how the models work, and to get an idea of what the models are showing- they aren't going to get much help if they see a load of posts that are only looking for cold solutions!
Very good point,I am new to all of this and due to the recent snow have become interested in GFS model output etc.Last week whilst trying to understand the GFS model outputs I asked a very sensible question as to reading the GFS on this site and just wanted reassurance that I was on the right lines.Unfortunately didn't get one reply back just countless comments such as "can't see where this next cold spell is coming from" or "possible re-load from 24th Jan" etc.I would imagine in extreme weather condition times as of recent, forums like this pull in huge amounts of people that then like myself become interested in other aspects of the weather so it would just be nice to involve all people,even 'newbies' that need a little help with model readings etc on this forum after all it is titled "General" model output discussion. Otherwise now regularly enjoying this forum and the many excellent posts that have been written.

No point in moaning .. think all of us in the Purbecks have come to expect it over the years anyway!
