Some School have already been closed in Basingstoke for Friday because it might Snow. Crazy, how stupid will they look if the snow does not arrive or is minimal. How would I explain that to the kids, no school due to snow, but you can't play as no snow.
-
agreed just goes to show with all the experienced members and useless met office and all these weather charts and temps are rising and its raining terrible.
Looking out in the solent no real evidence that temps rising, how ever wind has shift marginally more to the south in last hour which may account for the rise just inland. Don't forget the main event is not due for 12 hour so temps should drop over night and winds will be going more to the east. So hope things come good for you.
I like
for looking at current wind and temp along solent

light snow has been falling here giving a light dusting on car roof
-
are we heading for channel low tuesday, nice cold pool dragging south over scandi
-
Saturday 9am the east winds on 12z stop at cornwall now they stop out by ireland, big shift west
-
Would appear on the 18z GFS front does not get as far east and far south west stays colder
-
One thing to throw into the mix is any snow will be blowing around in a stiff SE wind
-
All this model watching is nerve racking, miss the old days when you just opened the curtain and any snow was an unexpected surprise, obviously after scraping the ice off the inside of the window to see out first.
-
eyes down for the gfs 18z
-
Are we in for a 24 hour event in the Forest of Dean?
Windseeker - Im going for continued cold
I'd like to think so but it got it right when the others didn't back before Christmas, we need it to back track pretty dam quick, all the other will start to follow suit.
-
This time tomorrow we should all know who will get a dumping and who will be gutted.
After the weekend into mid week what will happen, will GFS win with its milder outlook or will the other models win with there continued cold theme, place your bets now.....
-
Long way off, but some very low minimum temps next week and this is at lunch time! Maximums are well below freezing.
Very interesting model watching over next few days to see how things pan out
-
Not sure what to make of the models tonight. Think I give them a break and come back Wednesday evening and see where we are.
Overall no real cold has hit us yet, slight dusting of snow this morning here, but as yet no hard frost or anything like that and ground and pond is showing no sign off freezing up yet.
-
The whole band has disappeared in the space of 15 mins. can anyone explain?
-
The band of PPN is in self destruct mode, it is spreading and disppearing
-
It's bound to before it reaches us ugh!
Wots the best radar to look at? x

Band of precipitation now moving into the bristol area, on radar looks like whatever falls will be very light. Is it supposed to intensify? if not will not get much out it.
-
Downgrade for snow, upgrade for cold.
If it ain't going to Snow not much point it being cold. Quite happy to push 2inches of Snow off the car, scraping off frost is just depressing!!
-
That's a lot more exiting to see. Even if nothing comes of Mondays front, we could have many more chances to get something, and I think if a "battleground" scenario sets up again, the colder air may be more firmly in place and play to our advantage.
At the moment the models are struggling to get events nailed sub 48hours, looking at the output for Thursday next week is setting yourself up for a fall...
-
The GFS 12z, yet another downgrade, milder sector turning best of the precipitation Monday to rain. Only SE parts of England looking good now for a full snow event.... Disappointing.
-
I have a nasty feeling that this up and coming cold spell, has been over hyped once again, by many in the model forums and the press. Hopefully wrong but it seems to get pushed back and downgraded the closer we get. If the forums were to be believed last Thursday we were being told that today we would be snow bound. Had a bit of sleet at times today but not sure we will get much more than that.
-
Met office have just updated their warnings, North Hampshire could catch some snow if we are lucky.
-
The wind along the coast is shifting to a more NE direction and hence temps are dropping slightly which is good news for you guys down there. try this website http://www.bramblemet.co.ukProbably because the cloud is a bit thicker. I noticed this afternoon that the temp DROPPED half a degree when the sun came out - weird. Now, as I said, I think we will see some wind shifts which may affect what happens on the coast. Shame it's dark because it would be possible to tell a lot more from the low cloud motion.

About a 1cm covering, bit disappointing really after 3hours of off and on snow at this rate only 4cm by morning. Come on.... tip that bucket full on us!!!
