  1. Think this has to go down as one of the biggest expectation fails ever this week in fact this whole winter so far since December!

    Im not even finding it that cold out to be honest. Anything can happen though 5 days away! Heat, Cold, Storms, you name it! Patterns change so much in that short space of time anything after that needs to be kept at very low confidence with low expectations.

    The moment i see 0z Runs showing something interesting roughly 5 days out i take more notice, as a web developer myself it is clear to see there is an algorithm being used on every model run.

    A lesser impact algorithm for 0z to the greater risk on the 18z its clear to see its programmed that way. But you only really notice the algorithm after 5 days when it becomes FI.

    The moment 0z looks good for cold is when to sit up and take more notice around the day 5 mark.

    I might actually look more at the models this summer and see how it behaves, ive never really looked at 0z and compare 18z through summer months so it might be interesting to see how algorithms perform during Summer months.

    Anyway 2 more weeks of Feb to go anything possible yet!

  2. Nice to have the light dusting, but all the fantasy cold charts have now gone, just a steady warm up now. For me I cant wait for some spring warmth and sunshine, really struggled this winter with the gloomy days, I need some positivity back in life and nice days out walking with a nice beer in a pub garden after. Really hope we get some lovely hot weather this year so I can get out on the boat and get some much needed sun top ups followed by a massive electric storm.

    You seem quite knowledgeable.

    I have a question regarding the orange intensity over Milton Keynes.

    how come this is not moving with the flow from east to west but the lighter stuff is , but the orange echoes seem to be hovering over the same spot. How is that possible when there are no hills or mountains to keep it fixed on those areas. 
    thanks 

    Just looking at that now funnily enough, Possibly land height, the chiltern hills maybe causing it, just trying to bring up a few sat images.

  4. Looking at radar development's I'd say there are quite a few in with a shout. Intensity is most definitely increasing even south east of the main flow which will brings the likes of eastern and Southern Dorset and IOW in with more of a chance of at least seeing some more flakes than seen so far. Need closely watching as intensity was forecast to pick up even more this evening.

    I’m logging off till next winter, that’s me done guys! So much potential but unfortunately poor show for us in the south/southwest. Unfortunately flurries don’t excite me! We could of had a snow event Friday as our last chance but Atlantic isn’t making it in. All the best till next winter  

    Think your jumping the gun a bit based on latest developments today tonight and tomorow. Winds are going to change and pick up with an expected streamer making it further inland than first thought. Winds will help push further into Dorset.
