What kind of level of confidence (I know it's way off) would you put in this?
I ask because I am photographing a wedding that day in Chelmsford, is it worth giving the couple a heads up?Low confidence but it has been consistent recently in showing similar synoptics. IMO way too early to worry them - I'm sure they have enough to worry about lol

Maybe we should send these images to sky news, who have just forecast that apart from central and western areas the rest of us in the southern and southeastern areas have seen the last of the snow ,where as the fax charts show troughs moving close to the south coastal areas and by Monday night into Tuesday a cold front lying over East Anglia and the southeast with uppers still low enough for posible further snow I find their statement a bit strange
Yep bit odd as metoffice still showing some heavy snow for this area later this eve

Took this footage whilst driving home along the A303 last Thursday eve - Queue carried on for much longer than shown but just filled with stranded lorries

From my perspective certainly not a classic winter - 2 to 3 days of any meaningful snowfall coming at the end saved it from being a complete bust but in the years to come it will of course always be remembered for the impact on Ireland especially - lucky blighters !

Yep and there is some more decent stuff coming up from the south as well, currently got mod-heavy snow falling here and everything that had been 'desnowed' is now being covered again. Probably about 1cm of fresh snow thus far.
Yep that band approaching Brighton should be heading this way
-
heavier burst of snow now in Farnham
-
Agree with Seb above re HIRLAM- looks like an interesting afternoon coming up
-
Steady light snow here in Farnham - could be in a decent spot checking the radar

The whole EU wide wind storm naming convention needs revising. But that can be left for another time.
I can't see where the Met have gobe wrong here, snow is rather unpredictable (more so than rain), they issued warnings where and when they were needed. However in events like this it is up to businesses to make decisions to send people home if bad weather is approaching and not have people gambling on coming to work or not when sbow is forecast during the latter part of the day.
As i mentioned earlier when you have haulage firms sending out these huge articulated lorries in the conditions yesterday was utter madness. I counted 10 all in a row on the a303 at a standstill. Maybe hefty fines for these firms could be the answer if driving under red warnings

Anyone near Bathampton ? Got a friend who’s deciding whether to travel there via m4 this morning
-
Drove from Devon to Surrey last eve via A303 and a major cause of the problems was the number of lorries stranded and on the single carriage way sections when that happens you’re stuffed so why were the haulage firms sending these out yesterday - madness. Parts of the road just became a lorry Park

Drove from Devon to Surrey this afternoon - carnage on the a303 - basically became a lorry Park for long stretches and feel for the poor sods stranded in their cars
