Heathrow cancels hundreds of flights with a mere dusting it is natural to be edgy about forthcoming troughs as troughs can dump several inches of snow -

Unless there is a remarkable turnaround the NAE has been as useful as a chocolate teapot today, called the event totally wrong in the midlands and the south / south east- 1,317 replies

I never said our region would get a foot of snow, I referred to Yorkshire and Derbyshire etc With the right dew points I can see 4-6" in the sweet spots in our region but depends on dew points- 1,317 replies

The intensity of the precip and the speed in which the front moves Can easily see the Peak District, Dales, Moors etc getting 2ft of lying snow from this before the thaw- 1,317 replies

Could be some record breaking totals for some parts outside of the SE Some of the precip is 96mm an hour which if converted into cm could give some historic totals if it maintains intensity Think the midlands and Yorkshire for example could get 2-3ft out of this- 1,317 replies

4 inches in Croydon is a bit optimistic I agree by it depends how much this band intensifies, if it weakens will be lucky to get a covering but if it intensifies and the dew points are favourable never know. But I am more confident tbh, only yesterday all the talk was snow to rain but now most of the country is going to be a snow only event so it's a fast moving situation- 1,317 replies

The NAE is the only one worth taking seriously with now casts, time and time again this cold spell they have proven to be the form horse so I fully expect what the NAE say will turn out to be more reliable than the others- 1,317 replies

Looks like a good foot or more for the North, e midlands, wash, Shropshire etc, not too excited about down here, think the band will have weakened so am expecting no more than about 4 inches with possibly 6 or 7 over the downs- 1,317 replies

Looks like the NW radar is down At 16.40 looked like a band of heavy snow was entering the estuary, now all gone from the radar, clearly all that can't disappear in 10 mins- 1,317 replies
