Blocking to the north showing up even more this morning.
I would not be surprised on future runs to see the low clear the UK and
then run east perhaps along the channel.
The lows movement southwest is due perhaps to the retrogression and
and reverse zonal wind anomalies then as it clears south of the UK it
picks up the west to east jet and moves in a easterly direction.
I wonder if it would be possible for the model watching experts on here to add some information at the end of technical posts like this stating what type of weather would be likely to occur if the scenario they have just outlined comes to fruition? On a seperate point, the organisors of the Winter Olympics are having to truck snow to the venues as they haven't got any.

It looks like rising temperatures and wind and rain for next week. The cold and snow lovers have had a good run for their money this winter, now time for something different.
-
Looking at that 00z I would say without fear of contradiction that the whole country will be snowed in for over a week.

Latest Met Office.

Generally cloudy with scattered light rain or sleet showers across England and Wales on Saturday and Sunday. Rain spreading from the northwest reaching all but the far southeast on Monday.

Beautiful day here, we have all the outside doors and windows open in the offices to let the air flow through. Bring on the Spring.
-
Big snow storm just hit land here, high winds and driving snow. Amazing sight and sound.
-
Rather Dark out to sea
Great photograph. The sky over the North Sea looks like that here too.
-
Getting beyond a joke here. Snowing now for about 3 hours, still heavy. Just had to unload a truck in my yard and the wind chill takes your breath away. Fed up with it now so go and fall on someone else.
-
Looks good on the radar for the coast.. lucky toads lol
It's quite amazing here on the cliffs, the wind has really got up and is pounding the snow at us, it's like a summer thunderstorm but with lots of snow. Very spectacular.
-
More heavy thunder and tons of snow falling, really wasn't expecting this. Looking out at the North Sea and there is no sign of this stopping for quite sometime.
-
A complete whiteout here. Massive thunder. The heaviest snow shower of the winter.
-
Just hit Norwich now. Is it still snowing there
Wow dark and heavy now with gusting wind and hail mixed in
No it has now stopped and we have gorgeous blue skies but a fairly strong breeze. Looking out over the North Sea I can see more snow arriving in the next ten minutes.

hey, john london, beat me to it, i was just going to post that.
Sorry about that. Here's a pic I have just taken.
-
Heavy snow here.
-
Put three of them up- not the best of quality, but they're taken from videos of snow past the lamp-posts (what few photos I have of the lamp-posts have invariably come out blurred).
You have taken a video of snow falling near a lamp post?
-
Pretty much everyone must have one - a favourite lamp-post they use for snow watching after dark, and we'd like to build the ultimate UK lamp-post watching gallery showing everyone's snow watching lamp-posts and eventually creating a UK lamp-post map.
So please share your lamp-post by uploading it to the special gallery here:

Yesterday I had to drive from here in Gunton to Colchester and back and in that time I probably drove through some of the heaviest snow of the winter so far. What was great about it was none of this snow settled, so you had the lovely scene of lots of very large snowflakes falling but without any of the hassle. Perfect.

Well i think most people on here given recent mild winters would just be happy to see a few cms, there are of course a few that won't be happy unless the Thames freezes over!
I think it's when expectations run above what can be expected in the UK that becomes a problem, and this winter some people have forgotten that its the UK not Canada.
A few cms of snow and some lovely clear sunny days to get out and enjoy it is perfect for me, unfortunately in the UK it doesn't take much to cause drama, I don't think its really the fault of the government or councils, its not cost effective to spend huge amounts on tackling snow when by and large its been very rare over many recent winters.
I agree. I also have to say because I'm a big mouth that where I live this winter has been pretty ordinary. Nothing special has happened here. It got a bit cold for a few days. We had a bit of snow. So what. Get used to it, we live where we live, this country is great, we have no extreme weather and we have never had a revolution, I have no idea if the two are linked but I'm pi''sed
-
I think the bottom line is we live in the UK and we don't get extreme weather, but we do get changeable weather which keeps it interesting. I like a nice storm, I love a bit of sunshine, I'm also partial to some strong winds and a bit of snow. All in moderation. What I find disturbing are the people on here who would only be happy if there was some kind of weather that would cause severe disruption to peoples lives. That is just sad.

I've got a torn hamstring which is now bandaged with an ice pack on it. I'm fed up and I would like to know where this "Beast From The East" is. Edit to say: Also drinking copious amounts of alcohol purely for medicinal reasons
-
Spring and summer oh so lovely. Warm nights in the garden sipping chilled white wine talking rubbish with my mates, walks on the beach without the need for a heavy coat. Puuuurrrffeeect.

I'm pleased by the questioning of the ramping going on.
If I was a new poster who was interested in the weather (and not biased towards a particular weather type) I would want to know the following things from the Model Output Thread
- What the overall model pattern is suggesting
- What the potential is for extreme events
- What the chances are for an alternative outcome.
All of this without the "OMG look at 240" or "WOW thats amazing were all going to be snowed in yaaay"
I'm not suggesting no one should ramp from time to time but it is refreshing every so often to have people who are interest in weather/model outputs and not interest in ramping.
Excellent post Stephen. It won't make a jot of difference, but still an excellent post. In fact I'd go as far as to say it's nailed on it won't make a jot of difference, I might even lay money on it not making a jot of difference.
-
I'm beginning to get the hang of the Model Output Discussion thread. I find the best way to figure out who's posts might be worth reading is to ignore anyone who uses those silly moving faces in their posts, or write "lol" when they're obviously not really laughing out loud. Also be very wary of posts by people who have the word snow, cold, frost, cool, freeze or any other chilly related word attached to their profile name as they are very likely to be biased towards seeing 20ft of snow on the way.

If it isn't going to be like this I'm not interested

Ladies you should stop moaning about the lack of snow and get on with cleaning the house.
oh dear
