Good grief man. Get a grip of yourself will you ??!!
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
-
I am personally praying your flight takes off!
Thanks, I think a few people will be breathing a sigh of relief if it happens
From 15th onwards I want 2ft of snow with 3ft drifts and thundersnow but badly want no settling snow on 7th
-
Definitely taking a camp bed with me Thursday morning after those charts, Heathrow will be at a standstill,
-
on wednesday as the low drops we will pull north-north easterlies
that chart is cold very windy and snow being driven in on troughs from the north sea
watch that low to our east as if any closer would make things very interesting
this was updated at 5.30 pm today
Worth taking a camp bed to Heathrow Thursday morning then?
-
My flight on the 7th is looking less and less likely with each run
-
Those blizzards through the spine of England on Thursday on NAE john postec look very ominous, certainly heathrow will be closed, just hope that downgrades
-
Yes that would probably be the sensible thing to do, I mean its only at T168 - Nothing FI about that now
I just saw the results when heathrow cancelled flights last time etc, people having to sleep on terminal floors, I have a flexible ticket and am staying with a relative out there so have been thinking whether I should change the date as am scared Heathrow will close or cancel flights
-
Starting to get really really scared about the 7th now
John knows his onions, really starting to think I should postpone my holiday
-
As long as there is no heavy snow on the 6th or before 14.00 on the 7th, Heathrow closes even when there is a dusting
-
Pretty safe to say heathrow will be closed due to deep snow on the 7th then
Looking forward to spending night of 7th camped on a terminal floor
-
I have a very important flight on 7th March, I hope any severe blast does not start just before that
-
Dew points must be dropping, a wintry mix right now, can't be long before becomes proper snow
Hoping for 3 or 4 inches here tonight
-
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
-
Are we all still forecast 1ft of snow or do you expect the rapidly rising temps to affect your forecast?
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
-
Server collapsing right now, even radar slow to load or timing out
-
CWT2012 where do you get your predictions from?
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
-
1mm = 1cm
But yes, 2-3ft is not going to fall!
Not here it won't but higher parts of Yorkshire and areas like higher ground in Shropshire and derbyshire I can see getting 20in
-
You know it's going to turn to rain so why would you think that?
That's how much I think will fall before it turns to rain tomorrow
-
Prediction for this event
Kent - up to 5cm
East Sussex - up to 5cm
Central London - 2cm
South Essex - up to 5 cm
Greater London (Croydon / Wimbledon etc) - up to 10cm
Downs (Banstead area) - up to 15cm
Herts / Bucks / Beds / north Essex - up to 20cm
Shropshire / E Mids - up to 40cm
Yorkshire - up to 50cm
-
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
-
Can't see anywhere near that much, doubt the downs will get much as they are far quite far south. Don't want to be the bearer of bad news but can't see any forecasts pointing towards that much snow for down here - London line northwards possibly.
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
-
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
-
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
-
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

Just hope it is a dusting wednesday, anything over an inch and heathrow will be shut without doubt on Thursday, very nervous now
