What do u think for our chances? Nothing yet in Shanklin just want some laying snow ???? Knowing our luck it’ll be nothing ??? any idea what time we may get any? ?❄️

From about 4pm onwards we will see some heavy snow - and it is likely to last into the night.  Then we may well have another band of snow tomorrow afternoon.

Keep the faith it was always forecast to be late Thursday afternoon!! Things are looking very promising and you should get it at Shanklin before me in Newport so keep us updated as to when it arrives!!

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 22/02/2018 Onwards]

Current snap shot from snow.  Looks to be building up nicely off of France ready to start moving our way.

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 22/02/2018 Onwards]

Been snowing intermittently on the IOW this morning with a light dusting nothing too much though.

Enough for my 7 year old to get super excited over.  So can’t wait until tomorrow for the main event!!❄️❄️☃️⛄️❄️❄️

Did South Today mention 10-20cm Thursday/Friday also?? 

Yes this was mentioned

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 22/02/2018 Onwards]

Fantastic update on South today for the IOW. Possible weather warning maybe introduced on Wednesday for here.

Then disruptive snow Thursday Friday anywhere between 10-20 cm - no rain showing.

then a warm up Saturday/sunday

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 22/02/2018 Onwards]

On and off flurries today on IOW things looking good for Thursday Friday to hopefully see a bit more than a few light flurries!

I note that the 500 hPa (18,000ft)  is now a Northerly bringing in Scandinavian air across the east as I speak. This is bringing in moist air in the form of high cirrus cloud and possibly altostratus. As a result temperatures are starting to rise in the North East of the country. There is a small block or precip' just off the N.E coast which is falling as rain at present. I also note that temperatures are starting to rise in the far South West (plus 5 being recorded) as the active front which will possibly produce the low pressure area on Tuesday moves ever closer to the west of us. No wonder the forecasters are struggling with a confirmed outcome. Even Tuesday might show variations for Thursday!

Quite clearly on the wind up, don't feed the troll and make use of the ignore user button!

I notice you have been looking on the thread and have not replied to people who have disproved what you are saying, any reason for this or are you purposely on the wind up?!?

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 22/02/2018 Onwards]

???

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 22/02/2018 Onwards]

Yep things looking good for our region, I still think GFS is being far too progressive and wouldn’t be surprised to see it less progressive in this evenings runs.

As long as we have ECM, UKMO and MOGREPS on side then we should be looking good!

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 22/02/2018 Onwards]

ECM 192 still snow piling in but maybe a bit to the east now? Edit perhaps not!!

 

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 22/02/2018 Onwards]

This is a thing of beauty

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 22/02/2018 Onwards]

This will put a smile on peoples faces- fancy a blizzard (hopefully!!)

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 22/02/2018 Onwards]

Lets all hope this is near to the Mark!  This spell will go down in history!! Keep the faith everyone!!

 

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 22/02/2018 Onwards]

Couple of snow related jokes to keep the humour going!

What do you get from sitting on the snow too long?  Polaroids! 

What do you call ten Arctic hares hopping backwards through the snow together?  A receding hare line.

I did tell my elderly parents to be ready for some very very cold weather  as they do their shopping once a week tomorrow, that’s ok though isn’t it? Mind you Dad was like” we saw 62 and 63 ..” it’ll be fine.

 

Yes definitely! Although as excited we all are with the prospects of this cold weather the elderly and vulnerable certainly need to be ready and looked after, even if it is half as bad as expected it will be a torrid time for some. I will certainly go and see some of my vulnerable neighbours to see if I can he play.

Also don't forget to feed the birds! It will be tough for them as well!

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 22/02/2018 Onwards]

Down to minus 1 here, I was due to go fishing tonight!! Think I made the right call to stay at home and be glued to this weather malarkey!

Awaiting the next GFS! May even pour myself a scotch!

I’ve just downloaded the Netweather Snow Radar on IOS, didn’t realise there was such a thing!

Just downloaded myself as well so will see what it is like.  Hoping they will release a full net weather app! Certainly think it would be popular.

[South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 22/02/2018 Onwards]

Things certainly looking good for our region, still struggling not to tell family though!!! I will not mention anything I promise.

It already feels bitter outside!! What an earth will it feel like next week!!

what snow radar do people use?? Any decent apps on IOS?
