    Lovely day to work in today.hit 11 degrees and more of the same for rest of the week with some early spring sunshine and highs maybe of 12 or 13 by Friday.The daffs will all be out by the weekend so it will be nice to see a bit of colour adding to the crocuses that are currently blooming round here.As TOMSE12 said earlier I wonder about some on the MAD thread!!.I still think there is a chance of a cold spell in very late feb early March-if it happens great but if not roll on spring.the gods have not been with us this winter after such promising background signs but that’s the way it goes sometimes and maybe March will be the coldest month of the winter-you just never know with our weather lol!!

    I think the point is snow in March struggles to stay on the ground unless it's in very extreme circumstances..

    Where as in February with weak sun and cold sufurce we can get laying snow for days in the right conditions ..

    Anyway looks very spring like now for the next 14 days or so and for a landscape gardener like myself I will take it...

    The chase for me is Over till 2019/20

    If its the same 850s which we had this week then its snow and it looks like they will be similar maybe even colder as we go on so all in all i will take that over south-westerlies any day.

     

    Not all of us had snow..

    Was very marginal in the south east.

    Sleet wet snow rain..

    To sum up just cold & wet...

    Will need it to be colder than it has been the last 24 hrs..

    Well the CET shows something different than 'warm to very mild this Autumn' - near normal in fact but must admit if you live in the south east most of October was short sleeved weather so must be off-set by a colder north!...I too a bit sceptical we'll see anything wintry in the coming weeks (maybe frosty) certainly down south but the bigger picture does look encouraging for this winter and that of not being one of experiencing continuous low pressure moving sw to ne and largely being trapped in Tm air masses a good deal of the time.

    Same.. i live in the S.E and yes its been truly barmy , probally why the southern N.Sea is still around 16c..

    Will needs weeks of below average temps to get that down.

    This is a bit of a myth really because Northerlies can produce snowfall in November and the potential for a Northerly is there, especially if the Greenland high does develop. The ECM does not quite do it but high latitude blocking remains and certainly no sinker.

    Also worth noting on the Northern hemisphere charts on the ECM is that this morning's run had more heights over the Arctic than this afternoon's run which goes to show how the outlook can vary from run to run and theres no reason why it can't return the other way. 

    Either way, an easterly flow which will gradually turn colder is still on the cards and its where we go after that which remains the big question.

    Correct. The most likely way to see nationwide snow in nov-early Dec would be from a straight Northly rather than Easterly (to early)..eventually the Easterly will produce but will take a long time given temps & SSTs..

    Its going to turn  colder but how cold will depend on where the high settles.

    If you compare the UKMO to EC i can see more energy going under better tilt to that low compared to EC all to play for what whatever way you look at it its looking very blocked next week.

    Guys these charts are great but far to soon in the season. Mainland europe has barely had a frost & SSTs are around 14-15c...so where exacly is the cold layer gonna come from. Great charts if it were mid-late Jan...This is not a 2010 scenario unfortunatly..

    Just got the text from home -0.1c so back below freezing- expecting 1-2cm from the blob to get rid of all the tracks

    deffo last hurrah !!! 

    #Funwhileitlasted...

    Dont bank on it. Snowed fairly heavy here for half hr , temps at 0 c & still didnt settle.. 

    During the last beast we had cold easterly for 4 days prior to snow which froze the ground solid before any precipitation. 

    This time we had sun & 14c the day before the mini beast ( was wrking outside in a t- shirt) 

    Was inpressed by how mch air temp dropped in 24hr period but ground temps didnt get the memo !!!

    Exactly! Looks like the luck has turned for those a bit further north! ???

    I live in kent & has the grand total of 2cm during the last beast. 

    A dusting today ( not exactly feeling spoilt...) 

    I think a lot of you forget we had showers last time & patchy snow today so therfore we havent all had a pasting here in Kent at all.
