Upper air temps now between -5 and -6 across the region. -6 to -7 creeping in to Wales from the NW.

I'm hoping for a stroke of luck!

Rhyming slang for cattle truck ?

They'll eventually all be turning to snow through tonight and in to tomorrow. Upper temps are around -3 to -5 across our region, those temps will carry on falling making it more conducive for the showers to fall as snow.

I wouldn't worry about the GFS now, follow the MetO. They will be using a blend of models, and MOGREPS - far superior to anything we have access to. The 12Z actually looks worse for those in the Midlands, as the colder uppers/dewpoints have shifted North.

Hi Birdman! You're en ex met mon-key aren't you?

10.2mm from yesterday's bits & pieces and today's rain. Winds gusted to 40mph, with a 21mph average. Cold frost has just gone through here.Temp did manage to get to 13.1 °C but falling away quickly now. I've noticed that the charts are beginning to flag up a lot of wet weather now.

The wind has increased a bit more. Gust of 36mph just before midnight. Speed up to 18mph.

I made a post about that last week. You can bet your life that if it has something to do with snow, it will not correct South. lol

I'm just wondering why SM is saying that London is under -4 850's on the EPS mean at 96 hours? The mean charts I've had a look at, show London at between -1 and -2.

I don't drink, anymore.

Still.. nothing really excites me in the output for my locale. It looks as though rain totals may start increase for parts of the South though, after a dry November.

My pond needs a top up anyway..

Yes, the wind has certainly picked up now. Gusting to 28mph at the moment, and 10.4°C

It gets better..

Upgrade.

Just been out to stock up on mushy peas.

The corrections only seem to be showing on the GFS. The FAX charts show a SW/WSW wind, no chance of snow with that wind direction down here.

Firstly, the php can be called in html no problem. A small line of code can be added to the .htaccess file to allow it. I have never had that issue with any other hosting comany in 10 years. Secondly, I can't rename the page to a php extension because the software that processes the file and uploads it, keeps it as a .htm extension, it'll overwrite the .php extension every time. Hence why AddType application/x-httpd-php .html .htm is used. Thirdly, it is not forcing anything, it is a standard practice for anyone who faces similar issues. There's plenty of professional sites that offer this kind of workaround. I'm not running a business for profit, so I couldn't care less about seo rankings.

Looking good!

I've decided to change web site hosts - on a trial. Loved my old one, but they will not do one simple thing that I have requested, and it causes me problems when it comes to retrieving data to show on graphs and tables. I have no idea why they refuse, but i've just uploaded my entire site to another host, and i'm testing it out on their server. If all goes according to plan, i'll do a full switch-over. I'm expecting problems though!

Weather Display and Cumulus have their own sets of templates. So, as soon as you have hosting, you can initiate the software to upload those web templates, and then you and everybody else can view them. This is the standard web template that Cumulus offers: http://home2.btconnect.com/peterrandle/Weather/index.htm

Just to add insult to injury.. Ignore it though, as it won't be correct. or will it?

Just buy a cheap notebook or laptop and keep it running permanently. It doesn't use a lot of power. Or get an rPi. I keep my gaming pc on all the time as it runs Cumulus. If you want near-realtime data (like mine) you'll need to purchase some web hosting.

That is a very haunting image. The odds of us being snow-less just from looking at it, are pretty astronomical.
