    about 550ft (170m) above sea level makes a massive difference.

    Hi Im right next to Luton airport so a bit higher up, which makes a big difference. Not settling yet though. Fingers crossed.

    Can anyone help please. On my weather station under dew point and humidity it says apparent and this is about a degree less than the dew point! What is this please? Thanks
  17. snowwonder
    I would assume being 170m above sea level near luton airport I could be quite lucky later on? Dew point 2.2c at mo! We do seem to get more up here than most. One of the higer parts of the home counties. What does anyone think. COYH!!
  18. snowwonder
    I think it would be very unlikely if i see that again! Over 14 hrs continuous snow is quite simply amazing! Never heavy but never let up. Nearly 6 inches now. A one off. Incredible. Snow day tomorrow too. Don't get many of them. No one can say in this part of the world that 2013 didn't deliver! When is the next load coming lol
  19. snowwonder
    This front is back building on its s/w side!! Won't give in will it. I can't remember seeing it snow for 12 hrs non stop!
  20. snowwonder
    I have 13 cm (5 inches) here near Luton airport. Not bad and still going!
  21. snowwonder
    Sleet here in Luton Slight thaw too temps only just below 0c! Anyone else seeing this?
  22. snowwonder
    Is this front starting to pivot??? Looks like it!
  23. snowwonder
    Pepped up a bit here neat Luton airport! The front seems very slow moving and is getting sheared on its edge. Think it will fizzle out in the end. Any ideas how long it will last??
  24. snowwonder
    Light snow near Luton airport!!! Nice surprise!!! Think we may be ok tomorrow! Fingers crossed

    Just had this from someone at Luton airport. Interesting read!! What follows is the early view of what the end of this week might look like for the UK. Temperatures are expected to continue to fall as we move in to the second part of this week. Day time temperatures will barely climb above freezing (except for the far south west and Ireland) and overnight we will see -4 to -6 falling to -8 to -10 by Fri/Sat. **SEVERE ICING RISK** UK - As forecast we have seen large accumulations of snow across far eastern parts of the UK over the last few days which mostly missed LTN & STN, but ice is now affecting many other areas of the country. The next 2 days look much drier and brighter but still very cold, giving us some respite from potentially disruptive wintry weather but a continued risk of severe frost and ice and plenty of de-icing activity. However, towards the end of the week it looks as though there will be a transition to more unsettled conditions spreading from the west. Over the last few days the UK has seen a battle between cold air to the east and north-east, and milder, moist air to the west. Cold air has certainly won the battle for the moment but milder air in the west is trying to push against it all the time. This is creating very difficult conditions to forecast. The current thoughts are that a band of rain will push in from the west on Friday, hit cold air and turn to snow that could produce significant accumulations for much of the UK. The main risk areas initially are Northern Ireland, Wales, northwest England, the West Midlands and southwest England but it is likely that these conditions will move east over the course of Friday and into the weekend. However, considerable uncertainty remains in exactly how the band of precipitation will then position itself, whether it continues northeast or stalls over western Britain. In the extreme west, snow is likely to turn back to rain but we could see large accumulations of snow in places. Amounts of snow are highly uncertain but there is currently a moderate risk of severe disruption to our operation. Over the weekend further outbreaks of rain, sleet and snow are expected to push in from the west but there is still considerable uncertainty as to how quickly this might happen and whether or not we will see slightly less cold conditions despite the above predictions. London Airports LTN/STN/LGW/SEN - The weather outlook for today and tomorrow is very cold with visibility issues due to freezing fog and then low cloud. Temperatures are set to stay below freezing over the next few days. There is a threat of substantial snowfall for Friday afternoon with a 50-60% risk of snow from the west making its way across to the London Area. If any snow does fall on Friday it is expected to arrive mid morning (however, it is too early to tell with any certainty at this early stage) and be with us for most of the afternoon into early evening. If the snow does eventuate, there is 40-50% probability of accumulations of up to 10cm's. Due to the nature of the forecast OCC will be providing daily updates and will be in regular contact with the Met office. ** Would all relevant business areas ensure they are fully prepared for this next cold weather event? **
