  1. I think that the BBC and other organisations that provide weather bulletins could learn from forecasters in the USA. The US forecasters generally start with the current radar image and then review its trajectory and intensity to provide a short term forecast for an area (even down to street level for serious events!). For snowfall and heavy rain the forecasters in Britain seem too reliant on what the computer says should be happening rather than what is currently happening.

    Yesterdays fall was pretty much ignored by all organisations even though it was obvious from around 3pm that the area was expanding and intensifying.

    So what you are saying is he radar images the bbc use or more the computer predictions and not actual live or recorded footage. That's shocking. Like you stated last nights snow was not and has still not really been mentioned by the bbc or met

  2. Without getting too excited it seems to be even heading to north lincs unless it stalls slows or just bloody vanishes in to thin air lol

    As I said it really does not look like what the bbc has just broadcast at 13:30

    Am I wrong to be getting a little bit excited or am I just expecting something that will just not happen.

    Meant to be working but can not take my eyes off rain today lol

  3. At work at moment and by looking at recent posts things my ave changed a little for the better for this region. Can anyone p,ease inform me how it's looking for north lincs and scunny as I'm out n about in the sticks and my signal isn't good enough to monitor the current situation and also Fridays /weekends situation. Any chance we may get some of this snow building in the area tonight or will it just miss my town??

    Keeping everyone crossed and even better I've managed to get Sunday Monday and Tuesday off work.

    Keep the faith

  4. You have had more than here mate lol. I think it is pretty unlikely the band will move further east unfortunatly. Better luck tomorrow and over the weekend hopefully.

    Think we will not get much with the west low but may get something from North Sea through Saturday n Sunday. Met n bbc forecast totally changed with a vastly reduced period of snow here in scunny. But anything could happen from now until Sunday so positive thinking lol
