Sister just tex me:
Those illuminating signs over the motorway.
Junction 24 of M25 - big illuminating over head sign!
Heavy Snow Tomorrow, be prepared!
I don't wana jinx, but whenever that happens around here you can be sure a reasonable amount of snow will fall!
-
Looks like Fergie and the METO are siding against the NAE then. GFS will be close to the mark I think. With the snowline Suffolk North.
Good - last time they done that as 'Vince Coombes' confirms, the NAE were spot on and they were wrong!
-
Yes there is lol, can't wait to see Dexter's moans when he gets cold rain tomorrow evening
I don't moan... If it rains it rains - nothing I can do about it!
I would love to know where your info is coming from for me to see cold rain in Essex?
Did anyone just see Peter Gibbs forecast on BBC1 just now?
Heavy snow for London Northwards from 9pm... COME ON!
-
Who is essex weather?- on twitter?
S
Yes twitter @essexweather
Who ever they are they have been spot on for me during this cold spell, big following too.
-
Lol hate? It's called realism.
BBC - Snow setting in over Essex at 9pm tomorrow!
Meto - warning of 2-5cm
NAE - heavy snow (best performing model this winter)
Essex weather twitter - up to 5cm
Weather pros on twitter - still looking good for snow London Northwards
-
It does appear its 20cm, 15cm maybe 2cm possibly 5cm or more. Or all rain.
My confidence in tomorrow evenings forecast is 0%
I am going to wait and see.
Me too, I think I'm going to come off the forum and just wait for tomorrow!
So many "know it alls" in here thinking they can predict if it will snow, better than the pros.
Stick with good old fashioned TV forecasts!
At the moment we all look good for snowfall and BBC/Meto confirm. But still others arguing this is wrong!
It may all go wrong - cest la vie!
-
And if you read the quote they are talking about tweaking the warnings,
Tweaking the warnings for good or bad?
Exactly we don't know!
Anyway Ian F is a great guy but his predictions and "inside info" for my area have been pretty inaccurate during this cold spell.
And I also find his quotes do not even match Meto predictions!
Stop hating and just be happy that the north of the region might get some snow before the rain arrives
Everyone's acting as if Ian F has said "no snow"
He said "less amounts"
-
No. It. Is. Not.
Er.... London is under a warning of 2- 5cm
That's substantial for London.
-
astonished, by this post. Gfs 12z is only 24hrs,given.showing solid agree,for up to 4/8hrs of snow for london as a whole.thats without met,latest forecasts going solid on same wavelength.london could do fantastic out of the dreaded atlantic over coming 24/38.hrs.with being east with cold holding firmer longer......!!!!!????.
Unfortunately 'tight isobar' some will do everything in their power to lead people to think snow chances are off for tomorrow!
Meto/BBC/warnings/twitter/some models all pointing to snowfall London North tomorrow starting from 9pm :-)
Of course it could all go t**ts up tomorrow but of course - it might not!
Let's not all forget how bad the GFS performed during this cold spell ppn wise and how spot on the NAE was... Yeah we have all forgotten that haven't we!!
I think a few people should read Ian Ferguson's post on the previous page, downplaying 'meaningful' snow in the se.
He said - less amounts
Hardly downplaying!
What? 2cm instead of 5cm - I'll take that
-
North London is going to get hammered
BBC has the snow starting around 9pm tomorrow, could be a good night!
-
The weather man from the SW say:
Still sounds good to me. Was never expecting large accumulations anyway!
2cm to see out the cold spell will do just fine, thank you very much
-
You better be quick then!
Much prefer to see a melting snowman than puddles!!!
-
Peter Gibbs live forecast just now:
Still lots of snow forecast for this region tomorrow.
"One last chance to build a snowman" peters words, not mine!

Milder, wetter weather to melt snow
Parts of Britain will see further heavy snowfall on Friday before milder, wet and windy conditions bring a thaw http://bit.ly/Y14G6D
Warnings are in place for ice, snow and rain. Keep up to date with your local weather warnings at: http://bit.ly/Weatherwarnings
Forecaster Anthony explains the change in weather in our video...
What the mild weather is going to melt the snow? Really? Never?
Talk about Meto stating the obvious, I'm sure even non weather geeks could come to that assumption! Lol
-
The only thing that will really settle this now is a spell staying awake all tomorrow night into Saturday and looking up to the sky!
Well I'll be at the pub until 11:30pm by which time it would have started snowing here anyway!
I don't think most snow lovers would be bothered that they have to wait up until the early hours. Especially as its the last snow for the foreseeable future!
-
Liam Dutton's blog yesterday already had it sussed:
http://blogs.channel.../2898#more-2898
Not done and dusted yet it's true, but a good analysis at the time.
Well if you have at his twitter page he says possible 2/5cm across London for tomorrow.
So the above blog is pretty useless now
-
It's truly tragic, Gary...I'd expect about 1 cm of snow and a wonderfully-quick thaw...
Tragic for who? I don't see anyone sobbing either!!!
Even if 1cm - so what! That's still nice to see before the mild crap moves in!
-
Essexweather on twitter say it will start snowing around 10pm here tomorrow. Nice!
Those guys have been spot on during this cold spell
-
There's only one way to find out....
GFS precip VS Meto/BBC/NAE
I know where my money's at
-
Nothing to see here, keep moving please.......
Absolute nonsense! That even gives the Amber warning areas for Snow, Rain instead!
Don't worry guys, things haven't changed. Snow still looking good for snow north of London tomorrow!
NAE 12z gives 10cm tomorrow - that's more like it
-
A beautiful song, and one that I think suits the mood on here at the moment.
By all means play your song if its raining outside my window tomorrow night.
Until then - the party's over - on Saturday
-
Absolutely, they have been top notch. They don't get enough credit for that, people are far too quick to slate them for the slightest inaccuracy. Fair play to them if they are right on this too; they (arguably) know a little more about the weather than me. Maybe.
That's what I was saying earlier, the Beeb usually do really well in these set ups!
But with members on here saying the complete opposite to what the BBC TV forecasters tells, it can become very confusing!
-
I'm with Paul S. and some of the guys on this one, I think any settling snow only likely north of London and probably only .temporary.
South of the M4 corridor perhaps a short period of wet snow, then v.much rain I'm afraid.
The only caveat being what Steve M.allured to, if that SW struggles to move east, then perhaps a longer period of snow for all but with the Atlantic, pushing through eventually.
Just a quick point on the Feb.2009 Th/Str. (Would highly recommend Paul. S's analysis, top read), how anybody could suggest that was a period of mod. snow, is beyond me!
Snowfall distribution was v.unusual and out of character with normal Thames streamer events. Just from IMBY perspective, you would normally expect Bromley to have the greater depth than Croydon, it was the reverse on this occassion.
Croydon town centre around 8" ( Not Yamkins, my assessment!), Bromley 6/7".
My experience locally is that snowfall normally becomes lighter Bromley westwards.
Finally, just a clip of that event in all its glory. Remember being up and posting with the likes of Steve M. and Paul S., etc.
It definitely was heavy snow at tmes, with some intense cells over our area. At Lee S.E.12 4 cracks of thunder during the early hours!
Regards,
Tom
Well it's you and Paul against the BBC then. Although Meto do favour South London Northward!
Lunchtime forecast still shows heavy snow across most of region tomorrow!
I really hope the Beeb are correct and most in this region get to enjoy a couple hours snowfall at least before the mild dross!

Yeh my sister text me about the signs!
Growing up round here, whenever those Severe Weather signs are out it usually means business!
