  1. Think Stoke/Staffordshire is too sheltered. Maybe a better chance tomorrow when that system moves in. Things become more marginal by then though.
  2. Got to be at least.3 flakes a minute here.
  3. BBC app gives me hope. Looks very marginal though.
  4. My 'Grumpy Weather' app sums things up. (Hope the language isn't too colourful. I just found this amusing). We do have the tinniest flurry here.
  5. None of my friends have the slightest interest in weather I myself am studying a degree to try and get into meteorology one day. I also run my own weather Facebook page. Closing in on 31,000 followers.
  6. I ruined this winter for the Midlands when I moved up from London. It's no coincidence that London has had its first snow in years.
  7. With very brief 0 uppers. It is incredibly difficult to get proper cold and snow in this country.
  8. North East winds blowing over a cold North Sea. -8 to -10 uppers. Trough moving in from Scandinavia. Only in the UK would that bring rain.
  9. Not the most optimistic tweets from Ian Fergusson.
  10. Wonder if I will be too sheltered by the Pennines/Peak District.
  11. Saturday's more widespread snow risk is now coming into range of the high resolution models. Looking marginal, with those near to the North Sea coast more likely to see sleet or rain. Higher ground and areas further west having a greater chance of snow. It is in the form of showers though, so any accumulations will be patchy.

  13. GFS looking more marginal for Saturday. NMM model has all snow. So it has nailed it ;-)
  14. -8 to -10 uppers covering all of the UK. Not confined to Scotland and the North East coast at all.
  15. Pushing further west through the day though. Just hope it stays the right side of marginal. There will be some slightly less cold air in the mix.
  16. GFS continues to tease and seemingly upgrade the snow risk for Saturday. A case of the low resolution making a few scattered flurries look like a nationwide blizzard? Or may we actually see a decent dumping? I guess we won't have a better idea until it comes into the range of the higher resolution models.
  17. For me spring can wait. Most of the year gives a decent chance of warmth. Whereas cold opportunities are more limited. Although March and even April can bring cold and snowy weather*. *Post excludes Stoke-on-Trent, where it is chilly and grey all year round ;-)
  18. Cold spell into the range of the high resolution models. Saturday, which is still beyond them looks the most interesting for many though.
  19. Cold spell now within range of the high resolution models.
  20. Conclusion from the comments of some: 'Blink and you'll miss it' cold snap - Suggests no longer than 2 or 3 days. Snow only to hills Spring warmth within days What the models actually show: 5 day cold spell, with frost, ice, cold easterly winds and snow opportunities for most Turning less cold next week and possibly milder later next week, but anything that far ahead is always uncertain Rather confusing!
  21. Slight upgrade in terms of 850hpas. I think because it shows a straighter easterly. North of the region best positioned on this run.
  22. Only really for areas near to the North Sea coast. Further in land they should be low enough.
  23. People talking about this being a short cold snap. A 'blink and you will miss it' event. Can't say I agree. We may lose the cold upper air temperatures next week but, it will probably still be cold at the surface
  24. GFS is pretty snowy for our region on Saturday. UKMO model doesn't agree though.
