Would be interested in what they were as regular posters here all know each other quite well and sometimes the 'offbeat' posts tell a bigger story and a persons views in an abstract way we have come to understand and respect more than you would think.
Jax, I must admit that I find that very strange thing to do and considering how this thread works, and I seem to think this happen late last year and caused a lot of upset. Hopefully we are not going down the model thread route!!!

Our council gritting forecast for this evening, not sure about the clear periods as it's been raining all evening
A clear evening, allowing road surface temperatures to begin to fall, however they are currently expected to remain above freezing. Further outbreaks of patchy rain will begin to push in from the southeast from midnight and continue into Thursday morning. There is a risk of seeing a little sleet on Thursday morning.

Just read this on the Met Office page for the East of England, doesn't look warm over the weekend after the rain on Friday
Outlook for Friday to Sunday:A bright, frosty start on Friday, but becoming cloudy, wet and windy later. Sunny spells and scattered blustery showers on Saturday and Sunday, occasionally of sleet. Feeling cold.

Netweather radar is now showing rain/snow mix to the north of London, still steady rain here

Thanks CK, maybe would have a forum outing to one of your clients and sit in their freezer and talk about how the snow depth cup could have worked out. If the bank manager is so good with over draughts, maybe he could slip one on from the east for a week
Sorry on a weather related note, not raining and about 5.3c here.

it may well have been said already,but next winter lets not bother with a snow depth cup.
Maybe I should stop doing the lottery and then I will probably win. If setting up the snow depth cup changes the weather I think Tom we should call Dragons Den as we have a great business model, better than the GFS model

Think as we are all suffering withdrawal symptoms we need to start a support group *walks in* hi my names lucy and ive been 340 days snow free I cant sleep at night im drawn to lamposts I regularly chart glimps and am fighting the urge to scrunch up hundreds of sheets of white papper into balls to throw at the kids
Hi Loo,
I'm Chris who helped to set up the Snow Depth spreadsheets and have now gone into hiding as I fear for my personal safety from that well know group call the MOD thread members. I now have a best friend called Julian Assange who is sharing the same room with me, he tells me that he has a load of information on the GFS model which he will release shortly. I have told him not to bother as we already know it doesn't work and has been written by people who are buried under five foot snow drifts and it's always wrong

The way things are going is spot on with the METS contingency planning forecast they issued at the start of the year. This must have been the worst news the energy companies could have received as at around this time last year we had the heating on until the end of March.
On the radio this morning there were many reports of ice problems in Hertfordshire with roads being closed, guess this was either due to precipitation fallig after they salted or run off from fields which washed the salt away.

Morning AS
Well I sent the cat out to see if she came back with a coating of snow, but alas she came back the same she went out. Just had a look at the radar and everything seems to be fading when it moves across from the west country. Temperature is reading 2.4c with a dew point of -1.7c so if anything did get here there might be a bit of white stuff.

yes but its silly to post a gfs chart for a weeks time
I would disagree as this is a weather forum and forecasts change all the time and the gfs could be correctp
Ps on the tablet and not sure why the above was underlined

4.1c here and has gone down 0.9c in the last hour.
I'm not sure if I can trust the Netweather radar at the moment as every so often the update is blank, anyone else having the same problem.
-
and now wet snow
and almost did not get back on again
site looks a bit busy tonight
Looks like a heavier area of rain in that shower which came over you caused that

Latest forecast has come through, does he post in the MOD thread or could be doing Countryfile

Latest from our council gritters is
There is an increasing risk of showers turning to sleet or wet snow this evening. Heaviest showers expected between 3am and 5am further isolated showers follow this, these light and turning back to rain.
Ps Seems to be evaporative cooling involved for the snow.
Think we will need to be up early if I want to see any white stuff.

The squall line showing up on the radar which is now crossing our region, looks to be the back edge of the warm sector, once this has passed through expect to see temps taking a tumble..
looks like it could also get interesting in the early hours, dare i say the SNOW word,ooopppss
Yes since that squall line went through my temperature has fallen 1c, the next line of showers which Yamkin mentioned above is still heading this way and according to the radar looks to be holding together. The showers over Ireland are showing as sleet.
I have absolutely no idea of the outcome in the Mod Thread.....
I have stopped looking in there and have been concentrating on the wonderful updates from our JP and the Met Office web site.

A new thread for a new week, with the burning question 'Is winter going to make its entrance?' on everyone's lips!
There's some hope that the next few days will see Tom's Snow Depth Cup began in earnest, so please carry on your weather related banter and musings here
Old thread here ---------> http://forum.netweather.tv/topic/79172-south-east-east-anglia-regional-weather-discussion-210114/page-45
Yes I have just been checking the spreadsheets and the ftp loading to the web site, so fingers crossed

Jason, send them a note back saying they should pass it over to Special Branch
Drat other people have already used that joke on their twitter feed
On a weather related matter it's reading 5.0c here and raining hard.

I see Surrey Police are in a comical mood this morning.
Lots of trees fell last night. We haven't been able to make a "log" of them all so drive carefully, "leaf" plenty of time for your journey
Jason, send them a note back saying they should pass it over to Special Branch

When ever I see the MOD word I always think of the Ministry of Defence, suppose they are very similar to the MOD thread in terms of war and peace

10 minutes ago measured 5mm of Heavy Snow, well it was white. One sharp thunder crack at end of the shower.
Please to report we are using satellite technology to ensure that any false recordings are rejected, problem is we are sharing it with the USA and it's presently watching their snow
Feels cold her tonight at 5.7c but I think party of that's due to the wind.

Hail storm at home at the moment according to my CCTV!
Classic on the Victoria tube line - someone's poured fast setting cement into the control room!
I think there's a concrete case there for legal action in order to cement some compensation, AS would you agree

Ha Ha very funny....... I am sure we have had no snow due to the new super dooper snow depth cup being so well prepared and organised and ready....lol more frustrating for the gallant due who got it all ready all be it at least 2 months early...lol
I am thinking of converting the spreadsheets ready for summer and we can then have a sunshine hours cup, on second thoughts with our luck maybe that's not such a good idea.
Yes everyone is winning at the moment although I think the spreadsheet might blow a fuse if I attempt to place everyone first.

Snow depth patrol is out and about like tv licence detector vans, wait for the knock at the door, well that's if the snow is not too deep
