  1. High Pressure. Your location is stated as Surrey. Can you help us out and narrow it down a little :-)
  2. Really. That is not what latest forecast on BBC indicated. Or from latest available models inc UKMO.
  3. They issued the warnings at 12.05 as you say but surely if they had just held off for a few hours and looked at new data they themselves were producing it may not have been required. The BBC News forecasts around lunch time, when they are watched by high numbers also showed big snow event over London etc for Thursday. Again a few hours later this changed. Not a good afternoon for either really.
  4. Paul do you think the Met Office over reacted with the warnings for London etc for Thursday based on not wanting to be seen to get caught out. They have previously not made warnings unless they had a bit more confidence. Seems like at midday they made the warning, only for a few hours later with new fax charts available making it look like their own warnings were well OTT. That is a slightly dissapointing few hours by the Met Office. I think they over reacted.
  5. With the data they have do you suggest they don't warn the most heavily populated parts of the country if snow is a real possibility? They did mention Midlands and the other locations you mentioned.
  6. I like the fact that the gritter man is providing us the latest updates on weather.
  7. Well BBC on News 24 are ramping Thursday. So its interesting that some doubt this. Appreciate they can tend to try and cover themselves but they seem very confident of snow for many in south on Thursday and Friday.
  8. Maidstone, that is interesting, the Met Office have only just updated, wonder what the BBC Beta update was from earlier data perhaps?
  9. Agreed Paul. This is a great example of what use to happen. Rather than expect rain, things are falling in to place for another large snow event for Thursday in the South. Met Office seem increasingly confident?
  10. Interesting, as Met Office are suggesting further snow spreading from the south may give additional accumulations of 2 to 5cm, perhaps 5 to 10cm locally. Drifting could occur in strengthening northeasterly winds. Am I right in thinking this could bring snow Thursday and then a further event Friday, which is from the even colder air pushing down from the north.?
  11. Reasonably heavy snow in Sawbridgeworth, Herts. Quite big flakes and what with everything being quite slow moving, if it stays like this, definately even more cm's on to the 5 or so inches here now.
  12. 6 inches of level snow here in Sawbridgeworth, Hertfordshire. Some pics for you.
  13. Hang in there mate. It will happen. You'll get plenty tomorrow afternoon and evening I would think.
  14. Same here, has been heavy for a good 45 minutes now. Great stuff. Seems plenty more to come, may well now have a great line of showers for a good few hours at this same sort of rate.
  15. That looks impressive coming up from France. Is that what we have in store tomorrow?
  16. Snowing in Sawbridgeworth which is near Ware. Very Heavy and no doubt on its way to you.
  17. snowborder, the snow is being provided by the NetWeather Team who will after midnight be making visits around the country with fake powder snow machines.
  18. Light snow flurries here in Sawbridgeworth, Hertfordshire. An interesting evening ahead it seems.
  19. A topic was posted on a US forum that watches the tropics but that mentions other areas of interest. It mentioned http://moe.met.fsu.edu/cgi-bin/gfstc2.cgi?...;hour=Animation 5 days out at the moment, but interesting none the less that it had the intention of the chaps over in the US.
