  1. I know these charts are no to be taken too seriously, but that said, if we have cold easterly winds across most of the country with precipitation moving up from the South West how does Cornwall and Devon stay clear of any snow. Seems implausible to me, unless there is some warmth mixed in with it?
  2. Lol! I was thinking exactly the same. Makes no sense to me at all! I don’t understand why anyone want to look at a breakdown at day 8 when we have so much excitement before then. Surely such charts have the same chance of verifying as a day 8 nirvana chart does?
  3. It’s definitely hard but not impossible, such a set up, like we have approaching and in what is still in the heart of winter could easily be extended in duration. Those in the 80s lasted for a least 2 weeks (as I recall), the really lengthy ones like 47 and 63 are for sure, a lot rarer, but again not impossible. I would say, in a world of extremes, we have as much chance seeing this becoming a historical spell of winter weather as we do it lasting just a week for the former
  4. BBC weather just now, is on board with Easterly winds across all of the country from the weekend
  5. You must have been close in 1991, I remember it well as was living with my parents (LE14 postcode) and had at least a foot with drifts being much deeper
  6. Thanks for posting, very informative. If it wasn't for COVID I would be driving up to North East Scotland, looks like they'll be having outrageous amounts of snow! I just hope that once the cold air filters down over the country and to us snow starved in the South the precipitation doesn't disappear! After the amount of rain we have had to endure this winter that really would be a severe kick in the you know whats!
  7. Amazing post Catacol, than you. I found it really very helpful in trying to understand some the large array of forces involved with the weather and getting cold to our shores
  8. Great post and I couldn’t agree more. My feet are firmly on the ground, I’ll only start to get excited at the prospect of an Easterly if it is still showing at T12- T36, even then I’ll still be twitching. Seen too many near misses over the years, which have led to much disappointment
  9. I would be amazed if that was to be the case. It was 14 degrees here yesterday and 12 today so it would be mean a significant drop in temps if that was to be the case. I only see rain for us down here for the time being, may get lucky around the 5-7th Feb but that’s a million miles off meteorologically so could all be different again by then...
  10. The most depressing chart of the day, that snow depth one! What is it with the M4 South
  11. If there is a another SSW and a split of the vortex, taking into account the lag time, does this mean the CFS could be close to the mark for an historically cold March? I can’t recall who posted charts previously of this, but assume it could be a real possibility
  12. Yep! It’s definitely an all or nothing location! My parents were telling me about the Beast from the East in 2018 that although didn’t last long did give them 12ft snow drifts. The only snow fix I’m getting so far this winter is looking at the videos and photos in the regionals
  13. Very true, Lol! I have a lot of fond memories of Knowle, both my grandparents lived there for many years, they are sadly no longer alive but are buried in the local church cemetery. Enjoy the snow, I’m not too jealous
  14. Still not seen a flake this winter what hurts more, is the Midlands (West and East) is where I’m usually based!
  15. BBC Weather were on the money here, rained on and off for most of the night, very heavy at times and still raining now! It seems a miracle is required for snow down these parts Hopefully many of you will get you enjoy a nice covering today
  16. Exactly the same in this area too! And I completely agree re the Easterly Tomasz Schafernaker on BBC weather just said South West coasts can expect rain / sleet rather than snow, so I for one won’t be rushing to get up in the morning as you can pretty much guarantee that’s what we’ll get here. I always live in hope though, forever the optimists
  17. Beautiful frost this morning, still on all the fields, but has just started raining! You couldn’t make it up!
  18. BBC weather very boyant about snow only for Scotland with the rest of the UK sinking under a deluge of rain for much of the week. I admire the optimism in the Model thread but would have money on a bartlett verifying over deep cold at the moment. I would love to be wrong, as personally I don't enjoy having spring weather in winter months and vice versa
  19. Heavy rain kept me awake for most of last night! I don’t know how any snow lovers living in the South West cope every Winter, it would drive me crackers...
  20. Kick it down South, we've not seen a flake! What's worse is my Bros lives in Sheffield, been snowing there since 8am and he now has 10cm and is still snowing - he keeps sending me the pictures!
