NAE goes for 27mm, GFS goes for 21mm, and MetO goes for 10mm, of which the average is 19mm of precipitation - possibly, because of the low boundary temperatures (because of frozen ground) we could possible push for a liquid to snow ratio of 11:1; which equals 19*11 ~ 21cm. Much higher with orographic effects associated with the North and South Downs.
I am certainly expecting one foot of the stuff at the normal favoured locations.
my thoughts exactly.....
-
its snowing in Ilminster, well higher up in Broadway village according to my mum.....only light but snowing.....
so it is starting as snow in west country.....wonder for how long?
-
Just looked at some current weather charts....its snowing in ibiza! wowza forecast for snow in mallorca too.....
PS Hope your heating is fixed soon, my brother in denmark had no heating the other day when copenhagen had maximum temp of -8c and nightime temp of -14c.....
-
Looking at the charts there is the potential for 9-12 hours of snowfalling..... in se and east anglia.....some heavy some light so averaging moderate snow for say 6-9hrs thats going to amount to quite a lot..... I am getting excited now......
-
2cm snow here....lovely.... I do reckon the met are being cautious with amounts I reckon East Anglia and SE could see upto 15-20cm in places with possible frezzing rain ontop through Sunday morning..... temp was 0c at 4am but now -3c dew -6c....
-
If anywhere gets 20cm I'll eat my bobble hat!
5-10cm as an average. 10-12cm in Jackpot zone is my prediction.
how many bobble hats do you have?
-
i reckon parts of kent and other places north ie essex 20-25cm...... we shall see.....depends on topography, the front, if it will turn to sleet/rain etc...... we will see this time tomorrow......
-
the wise ones would be piddled tonight though! who wants to play in the snow with a hangover? lol
if they are a bit piddled and its heavy laying snow there will be drunken snowball fights i am sure......
-
i have a feeling there will be a lot of piddled people on here tomorrow evening..... with all the vodka/wine/beer panic buying today!
-
From ten years experience of living in Faversham, north of the downs, a front moving east with southerly alignment/wind direction we tend to get a bit more snow.....ie precip/air rising over downs to west/south intensifies precip to north/east and can have a bit more than areas south of the downs..... we shall see but this looks exciting..... hoping for a wee dusting tonight overnight but not holding my breathe..... ps enjoy all..... its going to be a fun ride......
-
That front over holland belgium is turning towards east anglia and the south east.....watch the loop on x4
-
If you look on the Bbc forecasts it was the precip following the snow currently over Belgium and holland that is due to take a swipe at east Anglia and Kent later on. Keep and eye on radar and satellite.
-
Thought this might amuse a few people......http://www.accuweather.com/en/gb/faversham/me13-7/daily-weather-forecast/323716?day=1 oh my gfs blips hey....hehe..... 2-3ft of snow tonight.....erm..... ok.... data error.....
-
Us Kentish folk have chances tonight, tomorrow night, then saturday night through monday and possibly beyond.... I wouldnt worry and say patience..... we will get what we will get.... hopefully lots
-
I think everyone should take a deep breathe! This will and is going to be a nowcast event, as there have been in the past and will be in the future..... radar watching, reporting online etc..... the charts are all over the place..... it is extremely exciting for the uk im hoping for as much snow as possible too but I think people should curtain twitch and radar watch rather than arguing..... it is certainly turning me off looking at this forum.....
-
Going to bed after all the excitement this evening..... clouds are getting blown along on a brisk wind..... mite see something tomoz....we shall see.... nite all and hope the upgrades keep a coming....

-
Ok... look here http://www.yr.no/sat..._animasjon.html Move the pointer to the right hand end. That cloud flowing SW from the Eastern tip of kent is in a distinct "streamer" mode!
just been outside for a ciggy and i can see the clouds building in the moonlight..... parky out there.....
-
temp up from -1 to 0c, humidity rising was 54% at 5pm and is now 62%, dewpoint is rising.....heres hoping...... those cloud patterns on bbc forecasts and met maps shout streamer snowshowers to me...... sheppy has the right wind direction for faversham to be caught under and unstability that comes to fruition.....http://www.iossc.org.uk/weather/
-
my weather app clock says -1c, dewpoint risen to -8c and is predicting snow, humidity 60%
ps sheppy says 30mph ene wind too....ripe for streamer....http://www.iossc.org.uk/weather/

Yesterday it was flurries but we had couple of cm in places. Now it's a cm or two thursday and Friday, so who knows? Inches/feet by saturday? At least the official met office uncertainty gives a bit more spice to the atmosphere on these boards. I'm hoping for some nice crisp snow.....anything that falls thursday/Friday should be powdery with such low 850s and temps/dew points!
-
Been this light flakes/snow grains since i was up just before 5am.... just about making an impact on shed roof.... not much tho.... does look like a snowy sky tho.....wish it would darn it....
