  1. A summary of my snow chances for this week:

    Tonight's snow showers likely to stay to the East of me.

    Tonight's frontal system likely to die out before reaching me.

    Tomorrow's frontal system likely to bring me rain.

    Tuesday to Thursday's snow showers likely to miss me (I rarely see snow showers from a North Easterly).

    Friday likely to be dry.

    Who said East was best?

  2. Based on the official airports forecast for Heathrow, City and Gatwick, everywhere should see a light dusting of snow but turning readily to rain tomorrow morning. I'll be very suprised if anywhere from London southwards gets anymore than a centimeter of actual ground cover by the end of the night.

    Tomorrow morning? The rain isn't due to hit us until tomorrow afternoon when the 2nd front moves in....

  3. ECM update- some big totals for central & east kent ( & THE region if winds stay east enough)

    Should be an interesting week- with London & close suberbs looking at kent & Suffolk in Envy

    ECM has also prolonged the cold spell on this run. Something the GFS has done on it's last several runs.

    Would these wind directions and air thickness not be good for snow tomorrow?

  4. Maybe we should have a new thread i.e eastern and south eastern coastal line and not London & South east especially in these types of set up's..

    At this moment in time Tuesday onward does not look that conducive for snow showers or streamers except for the coastal fringes of the se spreading into some parts of Kent.

    I just cannot see beefy snow showers making it across parts of London & spreading further west unless a thames streamer sets up but we are talking 48 hrs here which is miles away from finding out.

    Poor Poor Poor sums it up for me for areas London and west i'm afraid at this point...

    You'd think that being closest to the continent and the colder air we'd be in a prime position for snow. Tomorrow looked to be the best chance for all of the South East to see heavy snow before that ****** warm sector showed up!

  5. as we progress through tues- thurs the undcut from the atlantic will force the upper level steering winds to push the showers further west-

    Even if tomorrow is a let down the upgrades tonight for the middle part of the week are great- especially the UKMO...

    the UKMO looks like Feb 2009 at 120 when I had 30cms of snow in 24 hours....

    The reason I ask is that I normally miss out on any snow showers from a North Easterly here (I think because we're shielded by East Anglia). We normally need a straight Easterly to see snow showers.
