  1. This was all pretty obvious to anyone with capable of looking at a radar image as far back as last night.

    At the time I and others were accused of by IMBY, but frankly, I couldn't give 2 hoots if it snows or not.

    You can't trust any model if it's t0+ start point is so far from reality.

    Disruptive snow line now looks like being areas in between Humberside to Hunstanton on a line heading south west to Isle of Wight to Brighton. West of that looks marginal and elevation probably wont help because the coldest air is at the surface. East of it will be flurries, perhaps a covering to 1 or 2 cms by morning. Central London will miss the worst of it.

    A line from isle of wight to brighton puts London slap bang in the middle of it, I think it will be further west than brighton.
  2. Yes a good deal further west on the GFS, I'm liking the SW Midlands at the moment based on recent trends. Front more or less grinds to a halt on Friday morning and thus suggests somewhere between 10-15cms if that run came off, esp saw from B'ham down to maybe the NE part of the SW...also SE Wales would do well.

    Temps a little less marginal as well.

    Can someone post the latest nae charts, the ones I'm looking at suggest the whole of England will see snow but thats not what I'm hearing, just a couple of charts would be splendid as I'm probably looking at the wrong charts.
  3. Temp profile is much better on the 18z run, probably all snow this run compared to a slightly messy mix. IMO bullseye would be the SW Midlands, maybe 10-15cms based on the 18z GFS...

    Still time for changes though but good to see the GFS falling inline with the NAE and the UKMO set of models.

    Could you post the latest charts up?? from 24 hours to 36 would be lovely thanks
  4. There will be a light dusting in the north west of Hampshire and the north east of Dorset. Even if things end up a bit further south and east, it will be rain towards the coast because of a southerly wind.

    I like the way you say it with such certainty, no IMO here. In my opinion everywhere north of Winchetser in Hampshire will get a nice covering
  5. I must admit its looking good for those in my region. If I was being picky I would probably prefer another slight shift W.

    As for tomorrow and although we can use the models to estimate amounts its virtually impossible to predict the behaviour of the precipitation along the front. This could largely remain intact as it travels towards the E or it may weaken slightly. My own view is the intensity will be greater further W but the duration will last longer in the E which might mean snowfall amounts are fairly similiar. Having said this because conditions are more favourable further E the snow ratio will be better for those in Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, Kent.

    One thing to look out for tomorrow on the radar isn't just watching the front arrive in my region. For example suppose at midnight its snowing over my region and im in the middle of the band of precip, then I shall be closely following the back edge for any signs of the front slowing or stalling. Ideally im right in the middle of the snow band and it stops over my head!

    Without wanting to sound like a cockle lets talk about the chances of basingstoke, over the last 3 years I have seen stupendous snow events, 3 years ago on my way to my annual snow hunt, that year being montreal (one of the snowiest cities on earth) I boarded the plane and the steward informed me that Montreal was having a lovely mild winter, on arriving I switched on the telly box to find out the Canadians were reporting blizzards in England, not just England but Basingstoke, who'd have thought it?
  6. After reading the posts in this thread it appears many took the bait!!

    According to some we shouldn't even be enjoying the bitterly cold temps outside because they said this E,ly wouldn't occur and predicted a Bartlett next week lol.

    My advice is don't worry. The models look excellent and so do the BBC/Met O forecasts. All we can do now is just follow the radar tomorrow.

    TEITS I want to know if the snow line is right over your house?? it's sounds like it might be, hope so xx
