Heavy snow high Wycombe. Laying well, a moderate blizzard. Must of starred around 2am as there was a slushy covering at 3.30am. :-)
-
Can't wait to see how the unfolds :-)
-
I'd be up for a friendly too, if thats possible Tom?
Can I play to please ;-)

Praying for a southward shift. So near but so far. ...... stamps feet

To tired today to try and read the models today from the learners point of view. Is this looking good for the chilterns again.

2.7c is still cold enough for snow. Even 6c is still cold enough for snow too. It depends on the upper cold feed which can be as cold as 0c for snow to fall. The intensity of the ppn is in play here contributing to the cooling effect.
PS......According to the radar, you will have a brief clear period for approx 15-30 mins and then pulses of heavy ppn will batter Oxford with snow. Expect big snowflakes
Any for us up high in Wycombe

Yes it must be lower than 528dam for snow, maybe lower because we are in March (not so much though)
850hpa is the temperature at roughly 1500m and below -5C would produce snow for many in the UK in the winter, but in March this needs to be colder for places in the south to get snow. (However -5C would still produce snow for the north).
Keep the questions coming, it will help learners who are reading this thread!
Thank you for being patient I have followed you guys on here for years. So it is time I learnt. Then hopefully next year I can contribute to the thread properly. How much lower is needed to increase the chances of snow.

Edit you guy's beat me to it!

Just look at those temps over Canada not seen anything like this all winter
Another stupid question??
500 charts equal the dam and it needs to be below 528 for snow.
And the 850s are the upper air temps which the lower the better.

Yes!
Think I am finally learning the basics

Okay, place your bets where to from here ... FI probably will weigh in around 96 -120 for the placement of this feature..a good old model rollercoaster beckons..
Beautiful blocked Atlantic.
Can I ask a very stupid beginners question. Does the yellow rude looking thing represent the block I

Could these deliver. Sorry I don't read charts. Well beginning to :-)

You and me both Katie. Here in Aylesbury once again in the god damned dry zone.
We have been lucky this winter in hw. Infact we made the national news in February for having the deepest snow and we got snowed in during the January's event , as we live up on one hill. But I want more :-(
-
Any chance for us in high Wycombe. Fed up now :-(

Dewpoint here reading -10.5 surely not

Calling it a non event in high Wycombe :-(

It is likely to be very light on and off all day in High Wycombe. Very unlikely to get a proper covering and roads will be fine
Thank you Tim, I am over cautious as have been caught out more then once in recent years. The joys of living high up on a hill.
In 2010 we couldn't move the car for 11 days.

Light snow on my hilltop just outside High Wycombe. Laying well.
Million dollar question? ?? Is do we risk going to Thame with 4 kids in the car later. Considering the hills to get home have been shut with snow 3 if not 4 times this winter. Yes I know I am lucky.

brrrrr
Is got to be good if Gavin sees cold potential. :-)

Must seem confusing at times.
Basically the E,ly train does arrive on the ECM and to be honest even at +144 this appeared very likely. You will often find members have different interpretations of the model output and an understanding of how the run is progressing.
The most pleasing aspect of the ECM run is something we haven't seen all winter and that is a negative NAO developing.
Thank you. I think the only answer is to spend the spring and summer learning to read the models, from the more sensible around.
Does this mean all those who chucked rattles out of prams at the gfs have collected them again.

Please someone translate the model thread to me one minute the hunting down prozac next champagne.

Final nail was being banged into the Winter coffin...but just got bashed out by Greenland/Iceland/Scandy
....all aboard another long train!If I promise to learn to read the models before next winter. Someone please explain.
:-)

Please can some one explain. This thread has become a mixture of mixed messages and for us learners is very confusing.
Thank you
