  1. Heavy snow, light snow, sunshine and repeat!!! Sums up today in Epsom!! Some laying snow, not loads but enough for a walk in the park and some pretty pics!!x
  2. Thanks Great Plum, do you think that this is something that's likely to happen today?x
  3. Do you mind explaining that a bit more please Surrey? Always keen to understand more!! Thanks x
  4. Nothing to report from Epsom Surrey.... Meto seems quite strong for Kent and Sussex so wondering if I'll end up seeing much?!x
  5. Omg that was a long time with no NW Regional updates!!! Can anyone update me on the GFS 18z for end of the week's drama?! I'm worried about leaving this thread now x
  6. Just watched BBC Week Ahead and I didn't think there lookedlike loads of snow South of London?! Mostly EA upwards?! I'm still happy to sit back and wait but really not as much as I thought x
  7. I would love to see a proper white out blizzard snow storm on Friday, laying snow for fun at the weekend and then I'd be happy for Spring to begin..... blizzard looking doubtful atm but let's see how things pan out.....!!x
  8. Although I've lurked on these forums every winter for about 6yrs and have learnt a lot, I still class myself as a complete novice so could someone explain exactly what a streamer is? My thoughts are that it's something to do with convection from the water below or maybe involves evaporated cooling but is really appreciate a good (but simple!) explanation please?! Also if I'm near Epsom, am I in the firing line? Pretty sure we got tonnes of snow in the "famous years" so hoping for the same again this week!xx
  9. Meto forecast is now showing me having less snow on Tues but now some on Wed and a lot more on Friday!!! Leaves me a bit confused as the latest news from models seem to show that we're at risk of this sw low coming too far north and dragging up the milder air....??!!! Oh this week is going to be a turbulent one!!!x
  10. Same here! They always used to but not now! I find it quite frustrating when people chat about "their area" and I have to go into their profile to see where that is! Wonder why it changed?!
  11. Yes looking at the week ahead, the Mon/Tues snow is just a little starter to the main meal towards the end of the week!!! Hopefully finishing with Arctic Roll for pud!xx
  12. That line that runs pretty vertically down from London to Brighton - I'm about 3miles west of it!!!!! Noooooo!!!! Lets hope the blob extends westwards and turns orange!!!!x
  13. Meto have been saying Easterly winds for quite sometime now and now there's the update of WILL and even the word SIGNIFICANT in terms of snowfall for the Southern and Eastern areas! I've never seem this kind of bullish forecast from them in recent years...... so let's see!!x
  14. Tbf the Meto extended forecast has been saying for some time now that all of February will be below average temps, cold and potentially very cold under eastern winds. The only fly in the ointment is it mentions more dryer/settled too..... so I think it's definitely staying cold (bar the odd milder interlude) but it depends on if the snow gods direct the moisture filled clouds over us while the cold is there...... xx
  15. Why do I sense that, here near Leatherhead I'll have clowns to the left of me (playing in snow) and jokers to the right of me (playing in snow) and I'll be stuck in the middle with jack poo??!! Aarrgghhh!!!!!x
  16. Oi ooiiii 18z!!!! All looking a bit peachy..... let's all hope it stays that way!!!x
  17. Yes a very surprise warning suddenly sprouted up! Don't expect much but it might be worth a drive up to Boxhill which is about 270 asl - fingers crossed!x
  18. Seems there are still chances but they keep getting pushed back and stay at D8-10 but then breakdown the closer we get..... but I guess all the time it's showing cold, there's still a chance?!x
  19. To be(easterly) or not to be(easterly), THAT is the question!!!! As much as I'll be soooo gutted if we don't get snow from any of this, you can't deny that it' exciting watching the developments as they unfold!!! Fingers crossed for all if us, especially those South of the Thames who missed out last time!!xx
  20. I am a novice who is still learning to read charts but I mainly use this forum just to read updates through winter and have done for 6yrs now. I may have little understanding but this pattern of model trends you describe is something I very much recognise - it happens a lot!!
  21. Got some sleet and then snow today in Ashtead Surrey but still nothing settled....... So, are we going to have a White Christmas???!!!x
  22. You lot were definitely made of tougher stuff but you were also living in completely different times! No Health and Safety Laws, schools not at risk of being sued if not made perfectly safe for the kids, most kids walked to school whereas these days most kids are not only driven but driven by parents who are also having to rush off to work so don't have time to drive carefully.... Plus there were a lot less people trying to get to these places, the primary and secondary schools in my area have literally doubled in size compared to 30yrs ago when I was there! It's sad but it's today's society's reality unfortunately!
