    Now please don’t all bite my head off when I say this but ….. rain tomorrow morning before any snow? That’s what my Met Office forecast is and nothing for the evening 😞 

    I'd ignore the symbols most of the time, let alone at this stage.

    Not recently for obviously reasons but the amount of time they say rain but it's been dry you would not believe.

    Take it as a positive it shows precipitation if at all, the rest is nowcast.

    I have to agree with you. I'm not going to complain if it does decide to snow but like you say, been bitten too many times even by the strongest of chances so I remain unconvinced.

    As I said yesterday, Medway towns can have different weather types, bone dry in Gillingham but places like Lordswood snowed under 😀

    Like you, I'm taking it as it comes, not building any hopes up and hopefully be delighted.

    Morning all!

    . Monday continues to be of interest with the potential for a weak Thames/Kent streamer to develop. The most aggressive modelling on this only suggests 2-3cm at most so I don't think we'll be seeing much, if any for most. 

    But.. worth keeping an eye on! AROME will be of interest when it comes into range in the next day or so.

    Afternoon Met4Cast

    I'm also keeping a close eye on it, I've a landscaping project starting in Lordswood. Even 2-3cm would most likely rule out it starting, That depth can also cause chaos on the roads round that way off the.main routes. 😁

    Some interesting weather coming up, we will certainly learn a thing or two from it.

    Dry but cold will do me just fine, working outside what's seemed like endless days of rain has been a right struggle, looking forward to this afternoon (not).

    I'm pretty sure we will have some snow opportunities but it's not worth getting stressed over, especially after every run. I sometimes wish we didn't have access to so much information (data), as a kid I was excited to see a snow symbol on tv weather maps...that was the chase 😃

    As much as I'd like to see a proper White Christmas one year, I'm old enough to know the chaos it will cause for many. In the Covid days it was hard not having family around over Christmas. If we had a White Christmas it would create the same feel, with family/ourselves not being able to travel about, not  wanting to run the risk of being stranded and so on, especially the elders.

    I know some would be praying for it though, not for the snow but so it's an excuse not to see family 😀

    A cold blast, bit of frost will do me fine for this year! I'll even let the heating go on for a while, but not the oven!! Christmas Air-Fryer Dinner 😁

    Even though I live in London, I feel quite optimistic for chances of some snow in the foreseeable future. Last year proved that when Islington got hammered. It’ll be a case of luck if the precipitation is more showery in nature - but as stated, it’s better to get the cold in more intensely as it strengthens the pattern and also makes the ground/atmosphere more conducive for settling snow. I’m happy just for near ice days though!

    Yep I think we all have a decent enough chance of seeing some snow, how much is up for debate though, it'll be nice just to see some falling before Winter even starts.

    The Christmas decorations going up and some snow on the ground would really remind me of 2009/10. It was good to see some before Christmas last year also.

    It'll be interesting how the Met Office plays this over the coming days, warnings and stuff. The latest written forecast was 4am this morning.

    "Sunny periods and isolated showers Wednesday. Cloudier Thursday and Friday as an area of heavy rain makes uncertain northeastward progress, possibly falling as snow over higher hills. Becoming cold. Breezy."
