Pushed through quicker and further North. It's not the forecasters or models fault of course. But frankly it never feels any of us have an exact handle on what's going on at a at extreme local level and I like that.
-
Where does Ian say that?
-
Steve yes, don't get me wrong I should add trend even further back was significantly further north. Meto tweeted this morning of greater confidence in track being more southernly and then 15 mins ago seemed to suggest the more Northernly route again. Models are improving overall though.
-
Well it can work the other way, I've had good snow with lows expected to go further North and ended up struggling to get past Cambridge.
-
Good example of how models can be inaccurate even at short time frame. Trend for low was South in recent days and earlier today. But has been further North in realtime,
-
Snow Freak. If you get snow now, that bodes well for you.
-
Snow Freak give it 2 hours you'll have snow.
-
It will rain for several hours, reckon snow if any more likely 9pm onwards.
-
Looking at 00z chart from METO on iPhone app and comparing to 12z from yesterday, the low is shown I'd say 50 miles further south for midnight tonight. So probably brings a little more of our region in to a chance of snow if that pans out. In these situations there can often be fairly significant differences in short distances. So it will be interesting to see that later on.

Didn't get direct hit here but was able to see storm SE, then had one I could see to my NW down to the W of me. Some good lightning captures. Ironic that had best storms outside of the Amber warning period on Saturday.
-
Storm going up around us here. Lightning close by. Bizarre as it's not showing on lightning map.
-
Gord keep us updated mate. I did think about 30 minutes ago it might get lively around Lowestoft. It might not get direct but should be great light show. -
Thinking MCS might scrape somewhere around Lowestoft?
-
Look at that Storm staying active as it heads in to North Sea. What is it with the track of these storms that they head up through France, Belgium, but refuse to jump the Channel that well.
-
On the lightning detection and count sites look at it in France then compared to UK.
-
You only have to look at lightning data to see frequency France side compared to UK side. Active for UK but not pre Channel experience.
-
Look at Storm East of Le Harve, active, moment it enters channel it loses that intensity. Trying to understand why. Is it the coolness of Channel compared to heat of land? Not disputing it wasn't quite active and awesome for UK terms just when compared to French side not as active. Assume coolness of water takes energy out of storm.
-
Even last nights had nothing like the number of strikes during and after crossing. On French side literally flashing every second or 2.
-
The storm that has entered Channel already lost some intensity. Does the Channel literally shear them apart. As they seem to come alive after the crossing on Eastern flank.
-
Almost a replay of last night. It won't be as active after spell in Channel and will come alive on Eastern side as it heads up further North giving North Sea a light show.
-
I find it fascinating how the storms do tend to leave coast at Le Harve frequently and active. The channel seems to take the energy from storms often though. I've wondered what causes that?
-
Fascinated at the amount of storms that move up from France in to the North Sea off the East Coast. As a youngster near Corringham way we seemed to sometimes catch these. But in Hertfordshire now and maybe even back then, no such luck. If they leave France East of Cherborg with a NE profile they invariably miss here. I think in recent times I catch best weather from home grown stuff moving from SW London NE to here.
-
I was looking SE, then suddenly burst off activity NW from here. Milton Keynes out of nowhere.
-
Was looking promising for here for a moment but looks like passing East of my location or even dying off. Met Office then predict an explosion of activity between 2am and early am hours significantly West of here. Yet last night didn't expect anything and got a decent storm. Love Mother Nature.
