  1. Couldnt agree more from the 12z and earlier fax I was confident of seeing at least 1 more day of lying snow this winter. If the East wins I expect a long cold spell and if im lucky a few flurries I hope the models revert back to earlier runs tommorow!
  2. This run may be an upgrade for cold but not for snow! If you look at percipitation its next to nothing. the easterly will be blowing from a very dry scandinvia sitting under a high pressure. If the 18z came off most of the country wouldn't see even 1cm of lying snow for the next week. If the 12z comes off most places will see between 5-15cm with kids (and me ) building snow men and sledging! Sorry a lower cet for the month doesn't realy do it for its not low temps its snow I want!
  3. All of my memories of decent snow amounts have come from transitionary events. Easterly's will deliver days of flurries and the odd dusting Id rather a day of 6" of snow than a week of flurries. Cold is no god without snow IMO. Oh well the weather will do what it'll do regardless of what we prefer. should be an interesting few days model watching!
  4. Sorry I dont share the optimism. This run is a major downgrade for a rare large scale snow event midweek. As has already been said an Easterly will only bring snow to the extreem East. What the 12z and Fax etc show is a snow event over most of the country giving at least 5cm to most locations. Sorry but this is a disapointing run as far as im concerned. Anyway whinge over back to the beer
  5. Just seen this forecast from METO : Outlook for Monday to Wednesday: Monday and Tuesday will be dry and sunny after a frosty night. More cloudy on Wednesday with outbreaks of sleet or snow and increasing southeasterly winds. Im a bit confused whether the breakdown will happen on weds or Thurs it seems to be chopping and changing every couple of hours! Im of to Tenerife on thurs so praying to see some white stuff before I go. what do you think my chances are?
  6. I notice the front seems to fizzle out as it reaches the East. This seems to be ongoing trend as the scandi high increases. I have a funy fealing that those east of the midlands may not see anything as the front dissapates. Would like to be prven wrong though!
  7. The METO seem to be putting out forecasts for the breakdown to occour on Weds with snow for midlands north. This seems to be at odds with their fax which shows it happening on Thurs along with GFS. I have a feeling that the breakdown will be put back and back as time goes on. we may even see it not reaching any forther East than the Wes Midlands before backtracking. Does anyone on here dare have a punt on whether it will happen Weds or Thurs?
  8. |From looking at the radar it all the precipitation is V light so dont expect to much
  9. Everything has turned white here in Stevenage. The wind has picked up and the fog has lifted slightly there is v fine Graupal coming down!
