Charts tonight still showing promise ,just hoping that next weeks northerly will get upgraded as we move through this week .This weekend could very well see snow falling although most likely further north and with some elevation ,next week if we do get what charts are currently showing and we can get locked in for a few days or more ,could see more of us snow starved posters get in on the act ,Very early days but interesting times i,m sure . Ecm full of promise ,cheers all .

Good afternoon gang ,its nice to be back reading all the posts again ,although i have been lurking .(Thanks to all friends on here for my much appreciated messages over the loss of my wife recently ,THANK YOU ALL ) .Its great to see that the charts are showing some Winter weather , really warms the cockles of my heart .And its the charts which keep us interested not always showing us what we want ,and i,m certain that over the coming winter there will be Prozack moments and of course STella times ,so with the Meteorological Winter looming we can look forward to 364 roughly Runs of the good old GFS ,182 of the ECM , AND HUNDREDS OF OTHERS .Looking around the Internet back last year i looked at many weather forums etc ,and found that ours is by far the best and most interesting around .In my next post i will stay on Topic ,just wanted to start with a light Hearted post today .Let the hunt for Winter Synoptics commence ,Curtain twitching ,hiding behind the settee etc ,cheers gang ,.

Good morning Gang ,I have been Lurking around following most posts over the last few months ,but with my beautiful wife being diagnosed Terminal C ,about 4 months ago .Anyhow ,looking at the Charts it looks like a very mixed bag of weather coming up soon ,to early for loads of detail but several low pressure systems diving across our shores ,for those that dont like it too wet though ,perhaps the azores high may help you out a bit especially later in the upcoming period ,and of course the models may get the wobbles depending on any EX hurricanes ,and where all their left over energy finishes up .Cheers GANG ,is it time to get out the hat ,gloves and scarf .

[Convective/Storm Discussion Thread - 8th July onwards]

Hi gang ,hope all will see something ,looking at all the ingredients ,if you are in the right spot it could be very exciting .just hoping that it all slows down a bit till sun down ,then half a thatchers and up the wood shed to enjoy mother nature [fingers crossed cheers ] .

[Convective / Storm Discussion Thread - 31st May 2017 onwards]

hi gang ,its looking promising for some action later this week especially thurs and friday .

No exact detail can be put on any given location but the fair chance is certainly there . would be great for an overnight storm ,thunder rattling the windows and forked lightning dancing all around .I do read the posts most days ,but my dearest wife is very ill ,its great to come on this forum for a read ,well gang  bring on the storms ,hope all get a bit of the action 

[Model Output Discussions 12z 01/06/2017]

Evening gang ,really love coming on here for a good read .Iam following all posts most days ,usually when i take a break from nursing my beautiful wife who is very poorly at present ,heres hoping that current mid range models are correct  that we could get our summer back soon .

Just dont know where the time goes these days ,wont be long now till the winter of hell arrives .so onto the models and the positioning of any high pressure will be very critical ,it all could go bang with storms next weekend or just plain v warm and dry ,or even the high slipping away to open the door to our friend the Atlantic ,all very interesting ,take care all and enjoy our great forum ,the best on the Net , cheers 

[Convective / Storm Discussion Thread - 27th Feb onwards]

Evening gang ,It was great in my location of north somerset , probably best action for many years and coming at that magical time of early hours .I have not been posting much of late ,losing my mother in law back in february ,after nursing her for nearly two years ,and now my great wife is very poorly .Must admit with my wife in hospital and so being alone at home last night ,i did venture out in our porch last night to watch the storm ,although fantastic when the forked lightning started i did venture back inside to watch it from an open window ,Lets hope we all get some more action later tomorrow ,but i think its best to wait till morning as the track is not yet modelled even with the experts ,but i,m sure there will be some happy bunnys around ,cheers gang ,legritter .

[Model Output Discussions 12z 08/03/17]

morning gang ,not posted lately but i am lurking and reading ,very interesting charts and a big thanks to all regular posters who keep this forum buzzing ,lets hope someof us get to see some white stuff ,cheers gang

[Model Output Discussions 12z 08/03/17]

Models still showing some good weather ,a break down during this week then high pressure again ,we could even get some hvy showers which will make it a bit more interesting . we had some very interesting clouds this afternoon , and even the contrails were of an interesting kind ,dont forget any one learning about upper air charts would benefit from reading [the science of contrails ] a very good read , short ones ,long ones , broken ones , etc etc , in my neck of the woods the Squirrels are running around shouting Frosty is the King ,what a fantastic forum we have and great when its quieter that we can do a bit of banter , cheers gang 

[Model Output Discussions 12z 08/03/17]

Thought i,d just pop in and say hi gang . Every drop of warmth will come in handy ,no good having cold winds that find every gap in your clothes ,as far as the models go its a case of typical early spring , cheers gang , 

 

[Model Output Discussions 12z 08/03/17]

Evening gang ,Some interest at the end of tonights ECM but got a gut feeling that its the carrot dangler ,I have not given up on a good northerly blast ,i,v been lurking and reading the posts most days ,Certainly quiet on this forum ,reflects the weather ,lets hope we get a late blast of wintry heaven ,cheers gang 

[Model output discussion 8th Feb - Cold for now, but then what?]

The above post from Bring back 62/63 is much appreciated ,what a great forum we have on Net weather , looking at the models and no sign of a cold spell or period but some short lived colder snaps .

I,m giving Frosty,s Squirrel a Mate ,meet Jake the Highland Hare ,he and his mates are very vulnerable with the lack of Snow ,lets hope that March will be kind to him ,cheers gang .

Volitle model outputs indeed a split average zonal or heights over the uk or north south split dryer in the south but what is noticeable it's the polar vortex trying to get over to the siberian side.

But there's no clear evolution very dissapointed plenty of egg on my face that's for sure.

But anyway might as well hunt for some early spring warmth.

As you say ,no clear evolution yet ,but I,m hoping a visit from the North at end of month ,today's gfs not the best for cold lovers ,think it's a case of just waiting (yet again ) for the Hunt ,great forum gang ,I, v been lurking of late as nursing my 94 yr old mother in law who passed away last week ,cheers gang .

[South West & Central Southern England Regional Discussion 11/1/2017 ---->]

Just had a look outside ,slight covering of snow here ,on the bin and outside table , just need that area of snow to move a bit more south ,so I, v missed snow falling but looking at radar I may get to see some flakes again soon .

Yes Iceberg. This feature is being forecasted by models again and again, first by GEM and now by all the others.

I can't see this being a dry feature. 

Snow chances for the weekend on the up imo.

And watch this front on Wednesday. Could turn to snow as it is pushed back.

If these runs come off, it will be like waiting for a bus and 3 coming at once.

Yes its great that we do have this cold period well in the reliable ,and next weekend or should i say this weekend could see some surprises ,these will of course show up better on fax charts as we go through this week .

for those of a nervouse position including myself ,i have watched many cold spells [over the years ]start dry and a bit boring but surprises do turn up ,and its going to be a forecasters nightmare i think ,lets hope that we are waiting for a bus and three turn up that we can hop onto ,well gang hope all of us see something cheers .

[Model output discussion 25th Jan - The final third of winter beckons..]

Well at144 hrs I, m very happy with this chart ,it's interesting on which way that high to our n east will go ,ok I don't expect any snow fest just yet but my juices are rising ,my wife as just said  your in a good mood tonight , think flooding issues and storms looking at today's general model output ,perhaps all the action for us snow lovers could be around the next corner ,cheers all ,

[Model output discussion 25th Jan - The final third of winter beckons..]

So Matthew Hugo predicts half of Feb could be wet windy ,no sign of any cold ,right I, m off out of here ,the guy is very knowledgeable but we will have some very cold air to our far north driving this cyclonic wintry spell and if we get lucky we have a good chance of the white stuff ,right I, m back ,don't give up this cyclonic spell could bring us what we desire ,cheers gang .

The solar "uptick" is a minor blip. If you've given up on this winter, the next few could be interesting due to just that. Solar minimum before next winter?.....

yes looking like winter 2017/2018 will be dominated by northern blocking ,i have tons of soup stocked from this winter , well back to models and atlantic awakening but its going to have to fight hard ,would be realy nice to get some help from a SSW event ,I must be desperate for a flake of snow i,m watching tiny bits of something over devon ,curtains will be twitching tonight ,plus Halogen light ,cheers gang ,

[South West & Central Southern England Regional Discussion 11/1/2017 ---->]

Just hoping that we can see some flakes falling ,probably when I, m well tucked up in bed though but would be nice though ,see we have some frost still on the ground and temp at minus 1 c currently ,a few blobs of something currently on the radar over Devon, fingers crossed ,cheers .

[Model Output Discussion 29th December - Into mid-Winter.]

evening all ,just hoping that something pops up in future runs perhaps high pressure over nw russia backing west so we can at least get a low tracking to our south .even better a SSW  event would be good especially if the dice falls right ,tonights ECM in its later runs with a bit of a push could produce the goods so hopefully next runs could be interesting ,i,m currently suffering man flu plus chest infection so only popping in this forum now and again ,cant beleive i,m waiting for a possible wintry shower event tomorrow night and early sunday ,if i see a flake i,ll try to take a photo of it ,cheers gang .

[South West & Central Southern England Regional Discussion 11/1/2017 ---->]

morning ,temp of minus 3.8 c at 8.20 am ,yesterday at 8.30 am minus 4.6c ,great white frost ,time for a bacon bap ,and prepare for sundays snow grains or flurries which could be all we get this year ,cheers .
