Grown adults arguing over the weather, something none of us can control, is rather funny at times

Even a broken watch is right twice a day !

Maybe not but I’ll await your flip flop comments next week if it does show

Or you could let the run finish and then see it’s in fact moving west……

Wind your necks in. 19th March. And in my eyes everything has shifter forward 1 month. March is the new Feb and has been for a while.

It is but when abbreviated, saying ‘an SSW’ rolls off the tongue better than ‘a SSW’

Good run as far as I’m concerned. No worries here. Again it’s building blocks. 18z showing something in the vicinity of the 12’s and keeps things on the right track for days 8/9. All to play for. Upgrades tomorrow I believe

What time is ecm out please ?

No way Atlantic is busting through that cold air either. We all know how cold air is hard to shift once established

Fine margins. Main thing is a cold pattern is being established so lots to look forward to in the building blocks. One slightly differentiating run means nothing at this stage.

If the 12z is showing that in fi, imagine what the pub run will give us!!!

Absolutely lashing down here in Guernsey with thunder and lightning. Winds went from zero to gusty force 6 as soon as the rain hit. Defo no snow here !

Nothing worse than a ‘Pro’ with egg on their face. Cards close to the chest an all that.

What we saying then ? Big correction south for that Low ? Northern France snow fest ?

You just know that the low will correct south and it’ll be another 2013 Channel Islands event again.

We had 15ft drifts

Jim ?? That his twin brother ?

Thanks for posting this. Nothing worse than being outside looking in at the party !

4.8 and 126mm

So 3-4 days ago the models were showing a big snow event midlands south. Possible blizzards too ! And what do we have today ? Light winds and belting it down with rain in the English channel!! Temps around 12C. Cold air 350 miles away. Models are a shambles this winter.

Well that’s the final nail in the coffin!! Gonna be some miserable people on here today. 20 years of being on here I’ve learnt a few things along the way. 1. Never get too excited until t48 2. Everyone is an amateur on here, nothing should be taken as gospel. 3. If you’re offended by number 2, then it’s cause the weather is the weather and it’ll do whatever it wants to do not what you hope or think it’ll do ! I’ve seen enough ‘pros’ come and go on this site, many with their tails between their legs. It’s one thing to discuss outcomes and it’s another to say ‘dead cert it’ll happen’ and then get your back up when it goes wrong ! The ‘bin it’ attitude needs to change 4. The various models are still really quite poor when it comes to cold. Why there are so many it just seems pointless. Especially as half get written off as fodder as soon as the 6 hour update comes out. Should be 2/3 max. Waste of money. 5. Global warming is killing history. People reference ‘47 an ‘63. Forget it. We’ll never get a repeat of those as the climate has massively shifted in the last 10/15 years alone. Today will hurt but it’s nothing new. I don’t want knife edge stuff, I want a scandi high and med low. That’s our best and most reasonable chance for cold and snow

Well it’s a bust for us in the Channel Islands so I don’t care where it’ snows…………… as long as it’s these 4 locations Xmas day !!!!

‘‘Twas incredible. The flat north of Guernsey got about 6 inches. The ‘hilly’ south, which at peak is 108m asl, got 12-14 inches with snow drifts as high as 14ft !!! So many trees blew down too as we had a force 7 NE. All you could hear was chain saws for days after. The best thing about that storm too was I’d given up on chart looking a week prior so ha paid no attention to what was coming. Then a mate said 2 days before it happened ‘corr you must be excited for the upcoming snow?’ to which I replied ‘no idea what you’re on about!!’ I then looked on here and nearly passed out !! Sometimes it’s much better to be surprised than have your nerves wrecked for a week model watching !!

Yeah well spare a thought for us in the Channel Islands. I know you’ve not forgiven us since we stole your ‘channel slider’ back in March 2013 but cut us some slack please !! I’m so praying that low cuts lower ! I think you guys would lose the plot !

I liked how they always rolled out certain presenters for certain weather. You knew snow was in the air when Giles, macCaskill, Kettley and McElwee. Nowadays you know bang average or none eventful is on the cards when Stav Danos or Simon king is on. Not sure on the snow presenters these days ? Avery maybe ?
