Well maybe my post wasn`t as bad as I first thought. I sort of said the same thing but not as technically.

I am interested in the later part of this week for the Anglia region. I have taken Ian`s comments on board from yesterday regarding precipitation and how it is a really bad aspect to look at if wondering if a model is performing/not performing. With this in mind and not model judging, Friday has a lot of precipitation for most of the country which does appear wintry for northern areas. Looking at the ECM and UKMO for Friday When combined with this GFS precipitation prediction, the Anglia region could produce more than rain? Sorry in advance.

Oh the ECM has changed it tune from the earlier run. The cold sets back in.

Very true. 1 way of benchmarking I suppose you could monitor precipitation forecast. Lets see is the GFS is correct on Thursday (when it comes). With it only being 4 days away that seems a reasonable time frame to get it right or wrong. (Good/Bad)

I would say a fair chance for most eastern areas including the south.

After my optimism this morning of possible snow for E Anglia on Monday, the GFS precipitation run is totally agreeing with Ian Ferguson`s information earlier in this thread that it will be confined to the NE of England and into Scotland. but it could be a sleety affair as it does move through the Anglia region.

Quite like the look of this for Wednesday. Could be an interesting week.

GFS rainfall almost identical to yesterdays run regarding precipitation for Monday. Am I reading this wrong as I see potential in E anglia for snow when this moves through Monday night morning? Not a lot being mentioned about this.

It was the leading edge towards the East which I was pointing at. Just noticed you have edited.

Interesting when this band of rain moves in from the west on Monday and what it will exactly fall as.

After another year of thread watching I am going to take my annual plunge. There is not much mention of the jet stream and the part it plays or does not play. From the start of December it is over the UK tracking from the NW But then it takes a direct and pretty strong track from the west. Does this just pull in warmer air from the Atlantic or is there much more to it than that? Thanks, Stu

Ahh good stuff mate! Must be coming to me then!

I made a time-lapse last Saturday, If you saw my pics earlier you will recognise the images. Kind of wished I did 1 tonight.

Told my work colleagues last weekend it would snow, they laughed. Told them today, no. Life....

Surprised the snow can get round the roundabouts!

Getting better! Compare images. http://forum.netweather.tv/gallery/image/15467-2012-02-09-19-19-25757/

Hardly inches but looks ok. http://forum.netweather.tv/gallery/image/15466-2012-02-09-18-36-24813/

Pretty decent here now !

Lets hope the northerly comes off next week or I am going to plant my chillis and start wearing t-shirts. @ snowking, Saffron Walden here.

5 flakes here.

I will stay here, if you have snow problem with that lol

Doubt this is right..

Very nice shot!, West Anglia here so I will join the ramp, if is good enough for a mod then...
