It looks like there a thames streamer building which from my limited understanding is that we do very well out of it usually.
I know it is impossible to forecast snow but the met office have been toying with the idea of us getting heavy snow at some point. Granted they have been pushing it back and bringing it forward but it seems like we may get lucky.
a streamer is a good possibility. don't worry about MetO forecasts now, just watch the observations- radar, sattelite and wind direction.

Correct me if I'm wrong but you are in Horsham?
How's it looking for us?
yes i am. it does seem to be building very slowly. we all need to watch the blob off the thames estuary, thats where the action will start and it looks like it already is...

I know it's impossible to pin point with complete accuracy but from a probability perspective, how likely is it that we will end up with cold, potentially snowy weather again later in the month? If it happens, will it be mostly a northern event or likely to hit the south too? Not chasing snow here, planning work. Any clues gratefully received.
from current modelling, most likely wet, windy in the south west, on the cold side but not exceptionally so for the south. any snow restricted to the north. not much in the way of spring warmth. the cold can bugger off now, i've got 2 fairly big flat roof jobs to do and the weather isnt helping!

So disappointing here.Only received a dusting.Missed out on the snow,whatever angle it came from.
Only depth of cold was remarkable and seeing icicles hanging off cars whilst driving around was amazing.
Couldnt even build a flipping snowman or go sledging on the Downs.
All that chasing the Easterly all winter and when it finally arrived,pathetic.
Last time I ever go chasing a cold spell in the winter again.
First true Siberian blast in over 20 years too.
March 2013 delivered far more in depth of snow.
Goodbye Winter 2018.Utterly pathetic in the end.
Over and flipping out .
yep... would be interesting to know if any other county in the UK did as badly as west sussex in this spell.

hard to believe it was a week today we were watching the beast approaching in anticipation... and after all the reports of deep snow everywhere, people snowed in, motorways shut, schools shut, trains cancelled, i managed a maximum depth of about an inch here by friday evening which was gone the next morning!
oh well, roll on next winter. lets hope we have a hot summer in between!

You've actually had snow? I'm actually genuinely shocked because your posts have been so downbeat and depressing that I thought you hadn't had any!
i think he means we would have had 5cms had it not melted in between. the most i've had is maybe 2cm on the first night which melted within 3 or 4 hours.

If you can have freezing sleet then that is what I have here presently. Small flakes of snow that some have melted and rather than become supercooled water droplets have actually frozen into minute ice balls when they arrive at the surface. Makes a pinging noise everywhere. And the moon is shining through!
same here. sounds like its raining but its actually ice pellets!

Watching Winterwatch 1963 - The Big Freeze on BBC4 black and white footage of the notorious 62/63 winter, amazing how much disruption and suffering it caused, even back then, so many places cut off by drifting snow and running short of food, SW was worse hit back then, but then there were blizzards following blizzards, not just one
