Yeah, the Alps lol.
Personally, a slush fest and 8c by lunch doesn't do it for me. If we ain't getting a cold spell with lasting snow then give me 25c and sun!
Yep, totally agree. Then the bbq can come out and we can forget about this absolutely dire winter.

Dunno if its just me or what but this feels stronger than last weekend.
Yes. Definitely seems stronger than last week! We haven’t had the persistent heavy rain yet, but I assume that will be coming tonight, and tomorrow

As expected recon have just entered the centre.
Pressure 978mb

So ramping up quickly
Hopefully not to quickly. I’m in Florida with my family on holiday, flying back at 5.30 EST on Sunday

No I don’t actually. It’s just you in general!!

Slightly sleety here at the moment, due to the dew points rising a touch along with the temps (now 0.4c).
Sleet on top of snow then freeze is probably the most dangerous combo of all because it cause the snow to become an ice rink, and people never expect it either. When I go out in it tomorrow I'm going to have to be very careful.
Also Saturday night is looing VERY cold, high resolution models have lots of pockets of -7/8c around!
Here you go mate. Nothing spectacular but it’s better than last night

Where abouts mate?
I'm ex-Thurrock from South Ockendon (probably moved out about 6 years ago now) some of my best weather memories were off those Thames streamers and the Thundersnow that would come from the more dynamic of them!
I’m literally next to lakeside shopping centre.

Latest chart shows the shortwave in the Channel developing into a small low separate from the main low.
Hi Nick. Will that be good for SW Essex? Thanks
-
Nothing of note here in Thurrock. Ground soaking wet from earlier sleet. Keep looking at the lamp post, but that’s not working either
-
What are people’s thoughts on SW Essex chances

Loving how this colder trend is continuing on the Ecm 12z..friday looks icy cold!!..let's hope we can squeeze even more cold goodness out of this with further favourable tweaks!
Always the weather optimist come rain, sleet, heat, sun and snow. No bias in any of your posts. Makes me smile. Good on you frosty
. I can’t read the charts, so I’m glued on here listening to all the updates. Obviously, not just from you but a few good posters I’ve been following over the years.
good to have you back on here posting

In some ways, would probably agree. It’s just trying to get that right balance between keeping things running nice and smoothly in here, yet not being too hard on those excited by the charts that’s on offer. I think sometimes we perhaps can be a little harsh, with this being the Hunt For Cold thread and all. It’s understandable for people to get all ecstatic when cold and snowy weather breaks loose on the models and would hate to ruin the mood. As longs as there’s no rude/bad behaviour and that posts don’t stray too off-topic, I feel it’s fair to consider everyone the room to express there excitement, thoughts and opinions on here.
There is obviously the other Model threads that can be used for more general discussions of the models and for those who prefer something slower paced. We sometimes wonder if it’s worth opening up a Model Moans, Banter and Ramps thread again for people to let some steam off in there, and to merge the Hunt For Cold thread with the general discussion Model thread. But we’ll probably see how this current setup continues to go for now! (Unless I suppose we get enough requests from people to change the structure of how things are done in the Model area. Maybe even start up a poll about it someday).
I think this is working perfectly well. The hunt for cold is what the majority of us want. We have model thread as well. Great job

Lots of heavy rain, and a few distant flashes of lightning, but still so humid.
mudt admit it’s nice laying in bed hearing the rain hitting the window. Just need it to cool off now.

Big clouds bubbling up here and distant rumbles of thunder

Nothing of note here in SW Essex (Thurrock area)

Was very cold out on tonbridge park lake today, home and in the warm waiting for the proper the stuff
Your mad... or should I say a very dedicated fisherman ?

Grass and roofs are getting a nice covering. Just need it to get heavier to cover the paths. But how great is this weather in mid March ?

When or if the Thames streamer sets up, what wind direction are we looking at having?
-
Great to hear them updates @kold weather and @steveMurr. We have a gusty easterly wind here with a light rain shower.

No thawing here atm.
Just a quick question if I may. How do I upload pictures from a picture taken on an iPhone. It won’t let me do it, and I keep getting a error message. Thanks
