just for once I wish the op run was from the bottom end of that chart!

Wasn't that what the post from the guy in regional forums said where some model will show it 2 days earlier than others and there' a chance either setups could happen

isn' the -16 air touching Kent?

It hasn' happened yet and it's no more likely than any of the other solutions. It may even change by tonight.

still snowing in braintree.

moderate to heavy snow in witham essex and starting to settle on cars etc

I'm not going to pretend I'm an expert but I have been a member for well over 10 years and have seen plenty of model drama at times. The last few times I've seen output this confusing was when what I would class as special cold events was occurring. Don't panic over any perceived down grades this morning as its just the models trying to get to grips with the difficult synoptics and will play out various scenarios until they agree on a result. I would recommend sticking to the fax charts and now casting until after the weekend!.

I was thinking about the same thing... If it pans out then we could be looking at a true classic cold spell. Imagine the charts that could crop up if this was only the start. Kind of scary actually!

Just had some sleet where I am. Might be a promising sign.

That's more like it! A good old winter ramp.

What's going on thus year????... We have a cold shot in about 3 more days but hardly anyone's talking about it. Where is everybody!.

Yep mustn't forget teits!

Well its getting to the best time of the year folks!. Has the Murr man woken from the summer hibernation yet?. All I need now is extra supplies of coffee for the late nights and the "happy pills" ready for the last minute model wobbles.

Just had a light snow shower here which gave a brief dusting. So gutted were not getting a meaningful easterly as we haven't had a decent covering in years.

Just wondering if ian f has posted recently in the model thread??? We could do with his insight. Yes its a bloody nuisance and really unsafe.

Snowing in Braintree Essex.

I'm jelous.. Nothing showing for my area.

Brief heavyish snow shower in Braintree essex.

Im smelling a round of major downgrades on the models tonight.....Samaritans might need extra staff tonight.

Whats changed????

Thats because that storm signals the start of the cold weather. Theres a few whiffs of the 62 big freeze about this. Ramp over.

Exactly I'd more concerned about the details on monday rather than this far out. It could also improve.

Its because of the vast quantities of sprouts consumed during xmas day.

Can i blow the dust off my ramp yet??
