No problem.
Apart from the cold air aloft, on this occasion all other forcings are not conducive to good shower activity, so we just have the wishbone kind of effect, with showers only really on windward coasts. What could aid us better is even colder uppers (more upward forcing), small patches of moist and milder air (for trough development) or converging winds.
Please feel free to ignore but can I also ask why I can see the smoke from nearby houses ( the surface air ) being blown in the exact opposite direction of travel than the clouds, is the surface air cold enough to be drawn out to sea even against the prevalling wind ?

Can anybody explain the physics behind shower activity? Always fascinates me why some showers will push well inland and maintain their intensity, whilst other times (like today) they disintegrate 20-30 miles inland. Some really beefy showers completely fell apart this afternoon within 15 miles of travel.
It does feel like I get trolled by clouds sometimes ....hoping these improve the penetration situation later

Lying on my grass and slush on the road but 10m less elevation at the bottom of street nothing..should improve later hopefully

If that verifies on Thursday the 21st I’m going to be split. On one hand it’s snowed brilliant but on the other hand I have to get a crowd together, hunt down MS an burn him as a witch! Not easy to do under Covid regulations.
Just before we go all pitchforks and torches I think we should press him for the lotto numbers

Was a linesman for 10 years brilliant job in good weather not so much in bad that's an old 275kv tower
That's some commitment to the snow chasing ..trying to get that little bit extra height lol ... In all seriousness though that looks a tough job

Sitting basically at winters half time. At the break it’s 7.7c an lashing, eventful was promised but first half mostly lacked the final pass. A few goal mouth encounters with snow for some and maybe a week ish of ice. Master tipster MS predicted second half magic and reckons we aren’t far from the real action in his pre match analysis. SSW the new player from the north comes on and we need/hope it creates some magic in the second half.
I feel like a proper Ferguson rollicking and a boot thrown up the Greenland will do the do the trick ,

Even if west based NAO is the worst case scenario it works out well for @Rocheydub and his one ton of blocks as the lows roll up into the cold

So what we thinking then, a couple of days delay or hope for anything at all diminishing?
I still think it could be any option ATM...placement of those lows is not sorted and that makes all the difference I think

Certainly going to get colder but will we get the snow to go with it. Find it hard to understand model thread with so many different views. A lot based in London and southern England so maybe their views are slightly biased?
It does get brutal in there and I ain't talking about brutal cold

A few showers showing up on the radar moving down from the north. Anyone getting anything?
Came through here as sleet but last night was just rain for here so getting closer maybe

Hahah that would be funny if it stayed like that though , too far north yesterday ..not far enough north next week ....we will need to change the forum name to the goldilocks club

Ha of you put the animation on the radar you can see showers moving east to west across Wales , a streamer in the Irish sea moving north to south and then the front coming down from northwest moving east .....complicated and cool to look at

I am pretty hopeful for a few cms tonight. Think I'll take a run to some higher ground tomorrow morning for a good walk in the snow
I do hope so Ronan but trying to temper my expectations that we are on the edge of when it's rain and snow up here when fronts move in

I think you will find a blizzard is defined as 6 pages in this place in less than 10 minutes

Started of with the briefest snow here, the rain, now trying to snow again
Sorry that might have been my fault , had to leave the kids dinner outside to cool down so probably added to the warm sector
