  1. So many people on here were freaking this morning over no snow - those in the know just said calm down, now you see why. rofl.gif here she comes and approximately 200 miles of Kent streamer it looks like, majority heavy snow, the warm sea is fueling it like lake snow effect. Fantastic! blum.gif

    Well that says it all,Is anyone else starting to feel really let down by this so far , we went from poss snow sat,heavy snow mon,tues and now we have rain tomorow wth a few snow showers tues, which is hit and miss at best..

    The problem i see in this cold spell, which to be honest hasent really started is the tempratures are just to HIGH, which is a bit confusing wth such cold uppers around.

    Maybe the uppers and due points will fall as the ppn comes down especially in heavier bursts.

    Even if it does snow tomorow im pretty sure it will be wet and wont stick, so after days of telling family and friends about the oncoming freeze and snow i now need to do a u turn , does it sound familiar, aka DECEMBER....!!!!!!! sleigh is staying in the shed and cat litter under the stairs...

    I do hope im wrong ,, so,so, much

    again a look at nae tonights update

    i see that warm front way to our west

    gfs 18z tonight well out of sync with the other models

    do not rule some snow flurries for us tomorrow

    yea, no one on here has addressed sunday night as bbc have just shown snow showers coming into kent from midnight sunday, lasting throughout.

  5. Sorry to cause a bit of a fuss with my last post :/ sorry guys lol!

    You lot on the east coast you don't need to worry as much... South coast I don't really know but coast will be able to give a say on that.. Don't forget you lot in Kent also have tomorrows chances with the GFS picking up some Kent clippers

    yeah ,not mch being said about that though,which makes me think it aint gonna happen.., what time are the nxt mods out do you know.??

  6. 12z will be interesting, but I just can't see any reason why there would be ANY rain, or even hints of sleetyness in this set-up away from the coasts. I'm going to put my neck on the line here (when I do put it on the line, I'm nearly always right, as some older veterns may remember from previous events!) and say that away from the coastal strip, it'll be snow the whole way through. Settled snow at the start will neglect any WEAK (and that is actually what it is!) warm sector.

    Also precip shouldn't be an issue, given there is a develop low on the frontal system if anything it should pep up, as per the warning.

    Hello, some of us live on the coast {kent coast}sorry.gif

  7. To get snow you need uppers of -7 or less ...anything above that and you're looking at it being marginal , especially at sea level...you could probably get away with snow at -6 , but -5 doesn't quite cut it, so I'd say those areas showing -6 or less are more likely to get snow, those that are showing -3 / -4 / -5 are likely to get more of a rain-sleet-wet snow event

    monday night has -10uppers right on the east coast of kent, Expalin the marginality there.

  8. With those uppers anyone inland will have snow, no marginality at all. Nothing to worry about, hoever anyone near the coast even with -6 uppers looks VERY marginal with wind source. If i had to wager now my money would be rain and lots of it for my location!

    why would it be marginal, by the east coast wth -9 uppers and the front in question arriving from the north west, the same thing happened last febuary and we all got a good dumping wth less cold uppers?? confused.

  9. Met Office Update

    UK Outlook for Wednesday 16 Jan 2013 to Friday 25 Jan 2013:

    It should remain cold across many parts of the UK, with a good deal of dry and frosty weather, especially for central areas, but there will be some wintry showers and persistent rain, sleet and snow to watch out for on occasion. The detail of where the snow is most likely to be is currently uncertain at this time. At the moment, scattered snow showers look most likely to affect eastern parts of the UK with a risk of some significant snowfall here, whilst occasional periods of persistent rain and milder conditions may fringe into western areas, but turning to snow as it runs into the cold air. An ongoing risk of icy stretches overnight, and freezing fog may also be an issue during the cold and clearer nights.
