Deep Snow please

Theres lying snow outside which has fell in the last hour once again unnoticed by me. Most likely when I was making cookies I'd see about a mm or two so nothing to shout about. Nothing coming from the skys at the moment but most have fell in the last few hours.

Here you go Wintry mix in Washington Do you think the snow will reach me.

You can not put the 14th to 16th of March event in a forecast yet its almost a month away seems just a bit far ahead.

Hi guys just wondering what you think of my first forecasting attempt. http://forum.netweat...blog&blogid=239

First of all I wish to tell you that you shouldn't take too much notice of this blog and it will be deleted if its proved to be innacurate by Wednesday. I would love feedback on my forecasting skill.Sunday night.The early evening will see snow in Northern parts of England and Southern parts of Scotland. Temperatures should drop to around -3C in the north and about 1C in the south.MondayWill be a big washout in the South East and rainfall totals will easily reach 4cm. This rain will turn to snow as it pushes north and Yorkshire, Midlands and parts of the North East may get 3-5cm with 5-10cm on higher ground. Southern and Northern scotland will be at risk of snow with nothing significant for the middle of Scotland. Wales will see a wintry mix.Tuesday.The South East will see yet more rain which again will turn to snow however this time it will push in to The East Midlands, Wales and Northern Ireland as mainly snow however rain could precede it preventing any significant settling but thatand 6-10cm widespread easy. Tuesday will be a mainly dry day in North East England and Scotland.Wednesday(less confidence)The band of snow and rain continues to push north gripping most of the UK. Southern parts o England will see rain, Wales will see rain along with the midlands while Yorkshire, North East England and Southern Scotland will see snow into the afternoon with snow in Scotland lasting the night.Thursday(even less confidence)Early birds may see rain across england snow across Northern Scotland, the snow will stick around Scotland most of the day topping up any lying snow in ski resorts. In the mid-morning the rain will clear from much of Southern England with new band edging in from the South East. By the evening the whole of England and Wales should be wet and Scotland will be rainy in the South and Snowy in the North.Friday.(Very low confidence at this point)A battle of weather systems seems to be going on on Friday so Northern England will see rain in the morning and snow later on. As the snow gets southbound it will weaken turning to sleet then rain unfortunately for the South and Wales who will see prolonged rain.As I said at the begining this is my first forecast so will probably be wrong.

That was a bit dissapointing as nothing settled but t lest it snowed. Hopefully this sentence might be finished tonight. Snowed Friday lunchtime and didn't settle snowed Friday night and settled. Snowed Sunday lunchtime and didn't settle snowed Sunday night and settled?

In Blaydon and its snowing but no cover, its getting heavier though so you never know.

I'm aware its a difficult situation. I was planning to write my first attempt t a forecast but the models are so inconsistent I've left it. Looking at them I think snow is defietely on the cards its just when and where thats hard.

Met office have issued advnance warnings for heavy snow on Sunday and Wednesday for us missing us off Mondays list. This should gives us some good falls if it can be trusted but do you trust the Meto or should i ignore it?

I'm excited just reading about your mgnificent weather, why all the bad spirits.

Lovely blog, I'm annoyed I only just found it and it wasn't 4-8th Jan it was from about 20th Dec- 8th Jan

Looks like a night of lamppost watching, if anybody like to tell if thats time wasting let me know before eastenders please.

GFS snow risk 48-54 is looking like a nice storm, just waiting for Sunday then.

Can someone tell me where to find the models as soon as they come out.

Updated the post John.

Here you go from the 1st January how much total snowfall you had. I don't record but I'd say about a foot here. I live in Tyneside.

Getting a little peeved off with this cold snap now, it seems to have a biased against me. Yesterdays snowfall didn't hit us, we got a wintry mix that didn't like the idea of sticking around. Today we got lots of snow, I went with the dog between one and two and loved walking through the snow, it was easily have resulted in an inch of snow covering but decided that it didn't want too stick on the floor. I like snow but I like it even better when it sticks, maybe I'm just in a bad mood it was a lovely fall especially when I was under the subway. Also while were on the topic of community radio stations, does anybody here no anything about how long it should take Radio Sunderland for Hospitals(Monkwearmouth or Monksworth sure its first) to get back int touch sent the email a couple of weeks ago to see if they take under 16s and had no reply yet. PS. I live in Washington.(if you trying to find me through looking for the subway don't bother we've got hundreds)

Didf you say that the snow hit heworth, I'm used to live there if only i hadn't moved. Apparently we got a few flakes I but its half term so I was asleep. Anything on its way for washington tommorow or blaydon on Saturday.

In the UK 9C Globally 12C That's a lot of difference but it's because I think we're looking at a cold end (Oct-Dec) which couled with the cold start will bring our country in very low however the global trend seems different, I reckon Asia, Africa and America could all see a warm year.

Snowmackem, all we need is the low to drift a couple of hundred miles south or north either away the edges of the arc will cover us and best of all it will just be use, not SE, NW, North Scotland and if it stuck there we'd get some significant snowfall. However back to reality its looking as if Mondays the earliest we'll get anything significant. Unless showers on Saturday night escalate.

This threads quiete

Thanks again.

Sorry but I think you've misunderstood my question. I was looking at the side bar that has purple at the top in a triangle thing, I was wanting to know whether the top end of that bar or the bottom of that bar was the higher snow risk. Thanks anyway.

I'm sorry but my trust in a man who's surname is barsteward is severely lacking. Ever since we used it at school to avoid get wrong for saying the word b**t**d. You can blame a teacher for that one.

Hello. I was just looking at the UK Snow risk charts and got a bit confused. If you click on the link below you'll see the chart that I was looking at and the bar too side of it, for snow am I looking at the bottom or the top. I naturally expect it to be the top but am confused. http://www.netweather.tv/index.cgi?action=nwdc;sess= Thanks for reading my post. DSP
