Good morning my lovelys! I moved from Eastbourne to Polegate (just up the road) last year and now i cannot seem to find anyones weather stations online for round this way. Anybody know of any? Have plenty for Eastbourne, but you would be suprised the temperature difference a few miles can make. Of course i know i should have my own but oh well!
Enjoy your weather watching and keep away from all that horrid arguing like on some other forums pages! ;-)

Sorry but the ECM has definitely taken a step towards the GFS in the short range this morning, the initial movement of the shortwave is now east not south east, which means less cold for the uk. Yes it does then take it south east as before but that is past t96 so is FI at present. It's the initial eastwards motion that is telling and that is as per GFS. Writing on the wall now I fear for this cold spell, but still time fir things to change, desperately need a slightly stronger more northerly Scandi high to prevent that eastwards movement, still time for this to change.
Huge coup for GFS though having stood alone last night and been rubbished by all and sundry.
Jeeez, seriously everyone, not just the above quoted poster but 90% of you. How can a model be proved right when you are talking about the future? The codswallop that is being spouted in here recently is beyond belief. At least in the Summer there are less of these 'experts' posting such drivel. Seriously if you dont really know what you are on about model wise, don't pretend that you do. There must be many more people that are not so clued up getting very confused on here. Oh and please no more talk of Shannons bloomin' Entropy. Its not big and definitely is not clever! Love youuuu.

With the talk of snow starting to get more frequent now -
When it snows, what do you do?
Spend all day/night peeking out the windows or going out in it!
-
Evens, maybe as good as 50/50!!!
Might even be better than that if the models are correct. Happy new year by the way mate, long time no speak again!
-
I can't see where the slight upgrades are.
If we take the 12z output so far (UKMO and GFS) up to 144 hours compared to the 0z, then we have a faster breakdown of the cold spell and less chance of snow.
All and all a step in the wrong direction so far.

But we should not be comparing separate model runs, as said soo many times before (which im sure you will know) compare this 12z with the last 12z run, the same with the 0z etc.
-
you know what, scrap my earlier comment, cos this either vindicates what I said or simply insults our intelligence!
And so the cycle of never leaving the Net Weather forums continues
Just when i start to think il be watching a bit less (not very likely really) up pops another interesting senario.....

Hi quote from UKMO via Ian Fergusson:
Days 8-10, Sun-Tues: Unsettled and often windy with bands of rain crossing the UK, with clearer/showery interludes in between. Still a risk of some snow over high ground at times in the N, mainly Scottish mountains. Temperatures mainly close to average, occasionally mild in the S, but with still a risk of overnight frost in clearer, quieter interludes. EXTREMES COMPARED TO CLIMATOLOGY: Nil CONFIDENCE: High confidence for cyclonic SW’ly type. Low to medium confidence for the heaviest spells of rain to be across the S and W.
Days 10-15: broad continuation of conditions and synoptics described above with little change expected."
Yes they do.
Was this taken from today or yesterday though? Just wondering if these 'slight' model changes have made any difference to the M.O outlook?
-
yeah i can remember that but not sure if it brought snow or not???
Surely this was during the 'Coldest, snowiest December period for 100 years' Me think sit provided plenty of snow, certainly for the vast majority of the British isles
Looks like i was beaten to the answer by a fair few others!
-
Alas, sleep is coming. Still snowing heavy here but near the end now. Very happy with what we have had here, especialy as it was rain not much further west along the coast. Nighty night the other crazy people still awake!
-
Good to see you Jason
You too Callie, been a while! Contemplating going back out in the snow, went out a few hours ago but its much deeper now and still going for it hard (ooer!)
-
Hey where are Coast and MrCB?
Dunno, but im here yaaaay!
-
Is it snowing right on the south coast? Anyone lurking on here down there?
Yup still snowing fairly hard here on the coast, fine stuff but all covered in a good few cms, just the right side of marginal -0.2 dp and 0.5c
-
Heads up here but I think the radar is really struggling tonight, not sure why but the snow maybe not helping matters?
Its been having troubles in the London area most of the day actually thinking about it.
Same here Darren, its been nigh on impossible to track whats comming for the last few hours. Still snow all the way here tho.
Actually Net Weather site has been the same the last hour too!
-
You can see by the sat pic it hasn't stalled at all
Lol, im trying to think of one time that you have actually posted something happy........ Nope cant think of one!
-
Coast should be happy with this for Monday morning.
Ha well spotted random chart, i think i may be happy with that too, quite happy with it now too :-)
-
Awww i got no answer! is there no one here that can seriously tell me why the radar is damn annoying this evening! what is it that makes it like this? makes it impossible to see whats coming for me down in Eastbourne!
-
The radar is damn annoying this evening! what is it that makes it like this? makes it impossible to see whats coming for me down in Eastbourne. Although it is still snowing and settling everywhere, marginal dp's now tho -0.4 (eek)
-
Yes I would agree there. very annoying but it always snows a bit harder than the radar suggests
Yes chionomaniac, that is so true ever since it went like it an hour or so ago the precip has picked up here, annoying tho when thats what i get the damn radar for!!
-
Any proper experts know why the premium radar for the south east on net weather is a bit cranky? its almost like a piece has been cut from it and not put back quite corectly. If that makes sense! pm me if you like and know as its difficult to keep up with all of these posts!
-
Snow now settling fine and dandy in Eastbourne coast, paths and roads too, also temp is starting to drop back down now. back to 0.8 from 1.3 and hour ago. DP is -1.......
-
Very,very,very light snow here on the Eastbourne Coast. its a start.......
-
Surely that means it is on our way to us in BN1 & BN1 then! Time to do a lil snow dance girls!
I could pop a lil skirt on and do a sexy jig? may help?
-
Not so sure for SE coasts.Currently 1.5c and dew of -4c
Sorry sleety but that does not take into account all of the south east coast. not much further up from you in the whole scheme of things and it is zero here and -5.4 dewpoint. it has always been forcasted to be more marginal the further West you are. Hope that didnt sound too grumpy my friend but we dont want less learned members to start worrying.
OOOps edited East to West, duuuur!

Come on guys n gals, why not spend £2 for a NW radar.
Its gone up matey, its 3 pounds something for the month but money well spent :-)
