Yes do you have any charts to back this up ECM T6960
this winter has failed to deliver on so many occasions. i love winter but this one has me defeated. Bring on the summer. at least we can guarantee some sun and warmth whereas in the winter any resemblance of cold and snow is something rare. definately going somewhere cold and snowy for my hols next winter. Britain is just not the place for cold and snow and its only going to get worse.

Just now, I remember Atlantic 252 said:
looked this way since Tuesday, always going to be mainly S of M4 event, small window but you Leicester folk, and all Midlands, main chance is from the Wash, likely later tonight and tomorrow, before winds turn NNE
only flurries though, but a chance
i really am sick of this country when we clasp at the slightest chance of any snowfall throughout the winter. for gods sake even jerusalem in the middle east has more snow than us. damn the gulf stream to hell.

So true Bazray. It's nice that the SW and CSE region got the goods instead of the other regions this time.
it might have delivered for you (which is good) but the rest of the UK this winter has been absolute pants

Looks like cloud masquerading as snow?
i hate the current graphics for weather forecasting, its impossible to differentiate between clouds and snow. bring back the stick on symbols anyday.

Another tragic let down. What a joke of a winter this is turning out to be! I try (really hard) not to get frustrated by such things but what gets my goat, is that you can guarantee if it was rain forecast it would have no problem reaching any of us! Don't get me wrong, this morning was amazing, stunning hoar frost with fog, looked and felt as it should do in winter, but to last just one day, give me a break!
Next week looks vile, temps up to around 7 - 8 with rain. What are the chances of the models having that incorrect!
I keep hoping the models are going to flip to a more sustained pattern due to the SSW and down welling, but alas, the wait goes on...
Time to find the funds for some proper winter holidays, if I can't get snow here, I'm going to go where the snow is!
i couldn't agree with you more. This winter (and even the usual UK winters) are enough to make anyone give up and go insane. Next winter i am definately having a holiday in the snow (somewhere that it is more or less guaranteed.

Well this winter has been dreadful for most of the country and especially here in the east midlands. Not even had that many frosts compared to normal years and as for snowfall...........! And it looks like today's snow will hardly touch us neither. Absolute dross of a winter.

I think you're forgetting the background signals?
its always background signals. knowing our luck everything will finally fall into place......in April...and all we will get is cold rain and people saying if only this had happened in February. well i don't want it in April. This country sucks for any decent winter weather.

I'd snap someone's hand off for 2 cm of snow!
this country really is crap when it comes to snow, if we are so desperate for even a few cms of snow each winter. Even the middle east has more snow than we do.

It rained, then snowed, now stopping. Meh.....its just wet out. Winter just can't seem to get going!
so much for all the forecasts earlier in the winter saying we would have a very cold and snowy second half of winter. what lies.

Should be loads of ppn Lake effect snow, raw east wind low uppers for the east coast .
only if the lakes havent frozen over. Once they do that during the winter the lake effect snow is cut off. They usually get lake effect snow earlier in their winters rather than later on.

Ok, so to summarise the latest situation.
Met O website medium range outlook very cold and snowy
GFS cold and snowy
ECM mild and wet
UKMO model cold and snowy upgrade
BBC 7 day outlook, cold at first milder later.
Confused? You will be!!
Never known such a bloody shambles, makes the Brexit debate in Parliament look clear cut!

the phrase 'clutching at straws' springs to mind.

If anyone says the be patient word on here again I’m gonna . I think everyone has been patient enough this last 8ish weeks . The ECM gets worse as it goes on .
No we can’t say day 8,9 and 10 will be like that but you’d rather be seeing decent charts at that range . All heading the wrong way for us cold snowy lovers .
even patience has its limit and this winter has lost mine. Anyone who says we need patience one more time....... lets face it this winter has been dreadful in every respect....even for this poxy little island of ours.

Just now, kold weather said:
These 18z ensembles ARE the snowiest I've ever seen from about 264hrs onwards, multiple runs have big lows that inject just enough cold air to keep most of it as snow, quite a few blizzards modelled as well.
Snow Freak, I think just give it 10 more days and you'll be on the cusp of a great cold spell, its supported by most teleconnections as well as long range models, far more than the failed easterly ever was. EG, 100% agreement from the eCM ensembles on the broad idea of a -ve NAO, that is rare.
i certainly hope you are right. although anything beyond 150 hrs is wishful thinking as far as the models go usually.

This winter is fast becoming one of the worst for many years in terms of cold and snow and all the chart and model watching seem to be a complete waste of time as they constantly change their tune. Yes i know what is because the weather is constantly changing and nothing is guaranteed, but if that is the case then why even bother with models in the first place then. Might as well just stick our heads out of the windows and see what the weather is doing instead. I doubt this winter will be one to remember with regards to cold and snow. Those winters are fast becoming a rarity and will become even more so in the future.
