Pretty disastrous wasn’t it? Like model watching sometimes.

Fascinating, appreciate you sharing.

That’s exactly my thing!

There has to be some left of April fools reading this thread, I booked to go camping in 10 days time! Looks like that may have been an error!

Agree. MO app was pretty darn accurate for me. Kept updating regularly enough as new information came in. This image from last night.

I don’t see that???

Been snowing lightly in Ashford Kent for about an hour but nothing settling as all just blowing around and disappearing. Still nice to see though.

Poop.

Well this sucks!

I recall that previously, precipitation has intensified over the English Channel before it hits the South Coast, I haven't seen that referenced here and am intrigued whether that would or would not be the case today and if not, why not? Any advice? Would it require colder air passing over warm channel?

Good to know as Met Office also seemed to just update their forecast for Kent to show turning back to rain around same time too

sorry, 1am friday

I was surprised to see that Meteox radar has the band of snow coming in but quickly turning back to rain across most of the south. 01:00 friday

What a legend! Funniest thing I've read in ages.

An observation about Model Output Discussion Why don’t Mods create a thread for each model for next 10 days. Then you only post about that model, in that thread. You experts might then be able to look back over 10 days and get an intriguing perspective on accuracy and interpretations.

Back to chasing 10 day charts then. “As you were Captain, steady as she goes”

I'm sick. I get a real kick out of the disruption that snowfall brings. I mean, yeah I love the fun stuff, the snowmen with the kids, snowball fights etc, i love the sound of silence it brings, the muffled noises and orange glows of white streets but i also really love the chaos which accompanies it. Cars sliding, abandoned, stuck, people slipping and sliding all over the place, nothing moving, country at a standstill, gives me a real kick. That must be a sickness, it cant be normal. But I think its because it also brings out the best in people... helping others, talking, sharing stories, laughing etc. Or maybe i'm just sick. Who knows.

7 Feb 2009 my first daughter was due to be born. I remember staring out the window as the snow was hammering down and watching blue lights turning up at the bottom of our hill to close the road. (We we’re living in south London then, think it may have been a Thames streamer setup but not sure). I spent 6 hours from 6pm - midnight pushing abandoned cars out the way, helping drivers get moving to get home, keeping driveway and road clear, all just in case. Ultimately, my daughter arrived a week late and all had melted, it was quite a mild drive to & from the hospital as I recall. Anyway, good luck! Best of times.

I’m very close to having to book a work trip to Dubai from 2nd - 7th Feb.... what views are there on the chances of that being a massive snowy period i’d miss out on and what lengths should I go to to get out of it?? I’ll probably have to book up on Monday so not too many more model runs left to decide.

All i see is a foetus and a little piggy.

The thrill is in the chase.

LOL! I rather suspect someone might have broken the unwritten rules and told friends and family snow was coming!

That is all.

I fear this will be the winter of 10 days. Cold and snowy weather has always appeared to be just 10 days away and i'm sure I can trace that in this forum all the way back to December. It's winter, models should be modelling typical winter solutions in the future and then as revising as get closer to T0. This winter will be one which sees those typical winter solutions staying around 10 days away (bit IMBY but for the South at least!) Shame.
