    Trying to convince people that the forecast isn't rubbish is proving an uphill struggle -  "I'll believe it when I see it"; "a load of hot air" ; "all a fuss about nothing" :nonono:

    Always going to be the way, to many false alerts put out nowadays, especially express newspaper, makes my blood boil...lol. People have lost trust. Only this time it's looking like it's going to happen.Look east forecast online giving a maximum daytime temp of only minus 4 on Thursday.That is going to to shock alot of people.

    My visiting family want fish and chips at the beach on Saturday (recommendations for takeaways in North Norfolk, anyone??) before they depart from Heathrow Monday lunchtime.  They're used to cold weather but driving in snow is nobody's idea of a good time - well, not mine!  Snow later Monday please...

    Ha!?I live in sheringham which is on the North n Norfolk coast, can highly recommend No1's at Cromer, just 5 miles away from me.

    I'm not one to usually post on here and I'm definitely one not to ramp. Even the last failed cold spell I warned people not to dismiss the GFS, so I'd like to consider myself pretty grounded when it comes to these situations!

    However, wow. I've been a member for a while on here and watch every winter for a special events to be modeled and then disappear eventually, but this one is something else. An absolutely classic winter spell is on the cards as much as I personally don't want it to be atm. How deep the cold gets, and the amount of shower activity to be generated off the North Sea, is something else.

    The models will be right this time, except for that low to the south I reckon. All down the east side of the country is 100% going to get an absolute pasting, and no doubt other areas will too. Do not underestimate how heavy and consistent the showers can be generated off the North Sea, and that will not be known until T0.

    Literally the best charts I've seen so close to the time from all my years on here, which is quite a long time now (14 years).

    For a different thread, but extremely surprised how this has not been publically escalated by the METO. Absolutely dangerous conditions coming up...it's not the snow that kills. Extremely worrying just how cold it'll get and there are a lot of vulnerable people out there.

    Can but only agree with what you said,and how the weather models are looking, not seen anything this extreme since 87.A great deal of worry coming up for many both young and old, and those who are carers towards them.

    I’d be postponing the trip, if possible. Imagine being stuck on a motorway for hours in that cold. The showers look lively for that part of the UK.

    Yes I would kill that trip now, don't think the highway boys will be wanting to dig you out of the snow, they will be struggling as it is.

    Indeed and that's not even adding the severe wind-chill which would make it feel four or five times colder still!!..this is soooo exciting isn't it?...stunning 12z runs so far:D

    And don't forget in the heavy snow showers there will be evaporative cooling going on, probably knock the temps down another couple of degrees, plus if you have already got snow cover then it will have its own low level of cold. Really day after tomorrow stuff.

    Are areas in the west of East Anglia, such as Cambridge, likely to be dry in this setup? Certainly, looks that way from the models; we get the least snow in the whole country! Does anybody remember what is was like in Cambridge in past easterly spells like Feb 91?

    Yes I'm a veteran from the big winters of the eighties.With a strong east wind in place it will be blowing snow showers right across into Cambridge,likely to be heavy at times.
