    No one ever said once in a hundred years, unless you dreamt it.
  2. Big Snow
    Nah you're fine - I'm secretly combusting with frustration...

    Well I was too young to enjoy Feb 91 so I have never really seen a true, 80s style easterly. This ain't a bad effort so far.
  4. Big Snow
    That is true. I've learned who to take seriously in the MOD thread. It saves disappointment. Although I don't feel this spell was overhyped at all. It's still going to give a lot of snow to a lot of areas. Seems to have gone a bit wonky Friday onwards, admittedly.

    Haha, only 28cms to go eh Steve! Nice one though, pleased for you.

    To be honest - and I don't mean to be harsh or pedantic - but if you had watched the forecasts you would not be surprised. Showers were always going to form streamers, narrow bands. So many areas were always going to miss out - it was never wall-to-wall snow. Feb 91 was a different beast, multiple low pressure systems in from the continent. None of that this time (down here anyway).

    Things aligning slightly more favorably now for areas north of the Thames. Not sure about streamers but should certainly be more shower activity through the early hours and tomorrow morning. One thing that is disappointing is that Wednesday is looking predominantly dry as the day goes on, when at one stage that was the peak for our area. Never easy is it!

    I can't stand your relentless cheerfulness much longer.

    Superb little mini blizzard in north-west London just now; a blizzardette, if you will. Not much more action north of the Thames now until tomorrow I would say. Oh to be living in north Kent tonight.
  10. Big Snow
    you're joking, right?
  11. Big Snow
    I was wondering about that, from what I can see convection seems to be increasing yet all the forecasts suggest showers dying back north of the Thames tonight and aligning through Kent. Any thoughts?

    Missed me by about 100 flippin yards.

    Anyone saying this is not a notable cold spell is wrong, plain and simple. There WILL be disruptive snowfall tonight in large swathes of northern, eastern and south-eastern England. That in itself is unusual. Max temperatures one or two degrees during the daytime - again, highly unusual for our part of the world. Here in north London it's been nothing remarkable but certainly better than most winters with sunshine and show showers. Just because you don't have blizzards in your back garden doesn't make this cold spell any less unusual or memorable for others.
  14. Big Snow
    Ditto. If my friends knew I did this...
  15. Big Snow
    Come on, that's just not true. Much of Kent, Essex and Sussex is in for a battering, SE London should get a fair bit and most other areas will at least see showers. EDIT - check out the video posted by Yamkin, above.

    Tell you what though, the MOD thread is crazy. I had assumed that after two weeks chasing a cold spell they would have been thrilled with what is to come (regardless of snow distribution it is going to be a fascinating week), yet already the focus is on the breakdown and it's like the next four days aren't happening. It's almost like for some of them it's the thrill of the chase, like a gambler looking for the next big win. All very peculiar.

    Well, I'm not sure. Considering the synoptics I think it'll be underwhelming for some. If the wind was a little more to the east, showers would have funneled through the estuary, across London and well to the west...similar to Feb 2 2009. Of course, then people in Kent would have missed out a little. It's swings and roundabouts. Personally, where I am in north-west London I'm expecting a dusting by end of Wednesday, maybe a couple of cms.
  18. Big Snow
    I think that last point is pertinent. People are getting hung up on streamers, but instability is such that showers should be fairly widespread across the region. I'd wager most people will see falling snow, but always smaller depths the further west and north you go.
  19. Big Snow
    Anyone know how to use the ignore function?
  20. Big Snow
    SOME of us do mate, some of us.

    Check out this tweet from John Hammond - if anything, suggests north of the Thames may be the place to be on Tuesday. But not to be taken too literally. https://twitter.com/weathertrending/status/967698634556018694
  22. Big Snow
    That's not quite correct. The BBC forecasts picked up on that streamer towards the back end of the Saturday, 24 hours before it kicked off, and firmed up on it through the Sunday.
  23. Big Snow
    Wow, that's quite something actually - Ian Fergusson stating a 'medium risk' of something akin to Feb 1991. Now that would be interesting!
  24. Big Snow
    Yeah my impression is scattered showers for us Monday and Tuesday, probably a dusting, and then scope for something more sustained Weds.
  25. Big Snow
    Yep, for your and my locations we want the winds ESE. But I'm sure we'll see something regardless.
