  1. Quite excited about the possibility of the first storms of the year. Sun has quickly broken through the cloud, so the insolation is getting going which means that hopefully convection can start early on. Feeling humid.

  2. Looking at the latest NAE and the totals are staggering - if much of this falls of snow there could be some interesting headlines over the next few days!

    I'm thinking Edinburgh and Aberdeen look well placed for some disruptive snow, really getting going from about midnight.

    Looking forward to hearing from you all up north!

  3. On the subject of upgrades or downgrades, the 12Z charts are coming through. The charts are up to T+42, and yes, the track is a little further south and Low pressure is 5mbs higher at 980mb.

    Looks like a downgrade in terms of the Low pressure being much more filled and much further south and really only just grazing the Bristol Channel.

    NAE is showing plenty of precipitation around on Sunday and Monday, but what will it be?

  4. Took a trip up Cleeve Hill earlier this afternoon, with a friend. Quite a bit of snow left up there from yesterday. The depth was very variable but on average it was probably around 2-3 inches, with deeper patches up to ankle deep and the occasional knee deep patch where the snow had drifted off the sides of a gully. A respectable amount; more than I had expected.

  5. There is a covering of snow in Cheltenham now. However as mentioned above it was odd having rain in Cheltenham but snow in Gloucester earlier. The main band of snow missed us just to the west, meaning that places 5 miles west, and in particular only about 15 miles north have had several inches of snow.

  6. Eagle-eyed amongst you in S Glos / North Bristol - where it's been snowing again for around the last 15 mins - might have noticed how this continual lighter snow is quite markedly different to the intensity-dependent 'big flake' stuff earlier. This is because the WBFL has now duly dropped pretty much to the deck as expected, allowing effectively any PPN rate to come all the way down as snow here, even at low levels. Quite a reasonable covering in these parts albeit readily slush-ified.....

    Hi Ian, any idea what is expected to happen with the front later? It seems to be all to our north and west now. Perhaps it will rotate back south or have we seen most of today's precipitation already?
