Strange ice formation on my bird bath this morning.

Snowing here, between snow grains & proper small flakes.

Weather forecast on BBC news 24 @11am still going for the cold winning out, would they not be using the latest data by now, or is meteogroup seeing something the models we get to look at aren't. Probably change at some point today, or will it

Latest weather forecast on news 24 still going for cold winning out, that was the 11am forecast, would they not be using the latest data by now from the ECM? Or are meteogroup seeing something the models we get to look at aren't?

Lol, I jumped straight onto that webcam after looking at the radar although nothing was falling at that point.

Streamer hitting the far south west tip of Cornwall, hope that's delivering snow for those living down there who want to see it

Now when something like that happens I class a cold spell as being decent, that was the 2018 bfte. The shower streamer that setup in the channel caused this, also hit parts of south devon as well.

Would love to be down St Ives when it's snowing, it's a very hilly area so must be an absolute nightmare driving & walking around.

Their next update based on tonight's 12z ecm could be an interesting watch.

Yep just saw that forecast, got the impression their could be multiple battleground scenarios playing out in our part of the county.

Hopefully I'm not the only one helping wildlife in our gardens during this freezing cold weather at the moment, lots of stunning goldfinches on the feeders, feel sorry for them out there in that bitter wind!

GFS 18Z, run of the bloody century, absolutely bitterly cold right out to the end of the run. Absolutely insane that run!, don't think anyone has seen anything like that in the Internet era.

Awesome chart, hope it turns out to be correct.

Hopefully that weather front makes less inroads than this shows otherwise it's a bust imby.

Wouldn't waste your time with that if I were you, with the snow last Sunday that app was showing rain here the night before, then it was showing a few hours of heavy snow, then it showed snow turning to rain & then it showed it staying as snow. In other words, it's an utter waste of your time to keep looking at that app, my advise is to watch the met office weather videos on their youtube channel, they post updates throughout the day.

Now that's more like it, what I wouldn't give to have the front stall over the south west!

Things suddenly looking a lot more interesting aren't they, I wonder if that front on Thursday ends up stalling on the south west, if it makes it this far at all that is & the flip in the mid term on the models is awesome to see with a scandi high looking to build. And before all that Tuesday is looking interesting as well for those further south & south west although it looks like I'll be too far north east to benefit.

Big loss to the forum if you ask me, Steve was a very knowledgeable poster & I for one certainly looked forward to seeing what he had to say. I've seen far worse stuff going on in the mod thread over the years but nobody got banned!

Nothing made up about my name, picked it as it was the name of one of my budgies I had when I first joined the forum.

Need that low pressure to be a lot more flattened & elongated rather than round shape as being rounded will just push mild air up into the south & south west. Fingers crossed, I think its safe to say the models haven't got a grasp fully of what will happen later next week with that low pressure but as it stands right now any snowfall will probably be short lived & not the classic battleground event I was hoping we'd see.

oohh your playing with fire with what you just said in the mod thread, I like it though lol

Good ol gfs-p, always did think it was better than the original gfs lol, we can but dream

Well I notice a very showery westerly airstream seems to push showers all the way over to the east so why wouldn't a showery freezing cold easterly push those showers all the way over to the west, strange how they seem to die off quicker than rain showers do! Mind you back in the bfte in 2018 one shower made it across and hit here, left a nice covering so I can see why those in the east love these rare setups, multiple showers like that would build up the totals in no time! Can remember back in 2001 (maybe 2002) when I was visiting great yarmouth, the night before I was leaving there was rain showers that were forecast to turn to snow showers over night, waking up the next morning there was deep snow outside, easily around a foot deep & that was just from showers! Must have been very localised though as not far out from GY on the train heading towards Norwich there was hardly any snow lying.

Yep recent bbc forecast completely changed now, just east anglia with snow, earlier forecast must have been pre-recordered or using old data.
