Sorry, the mod thread IS a roller coaster. You get a mix of great posts and some filler but so what? It’s much busier this time of year and when decent cold Synoptics are showing.
The busier the better. Also remember some people have different needs and expectations, maybe we should give people a break from criticism this year? Roll on ECM later, let’s hope the trend remains and chaos reigns?
oh, and where are those mild SWly winds?
At day 10 where they where this time 10 days ago when the models were showing NH blocking
currently sitting here in 11c and drizzle at 18:25 of the very same charts that said I should be shivering in 0c 12 days ago

Got to ask, why are you here? People are following their interests and if that is hunting snow or cold Synoptics then so be it. Even if it never happens.
This is/was a friendly inclusive forum....
Totally agree on people following their own interests, but to think it’s a friendly/inclusive forum Then you are very mistaken.

What if it does backtrack what if it doesn’t? Why do people care? Who is really going to be disappointed? I bet it the ones who are worried about others being disappointed- why the constant hang up about people being potentially disappointed??
Because many of us come on here to learn and read credible posts.
the constant dramatic up and downs of the forum is exhaustingI couldn’t care less about disappointment with others, I just want facts instead of pages of massive histeria

Seems to be a lot of negativity towards the positive people who dream of Narnia type weather in the very far reaches of FL in the model feed tonight.
I say let people dream. If we constantly.have to pick the negatives and pull people for being positive what's even the point of extended charts.
I personally don't think it will verify but let people dream and hope without shooting them down like a couple of posters are doing tonight.
Most of us are not here to dream though
The constant contractions on the MOD threat is not dreaming, it’s draining!

The excitement over on the MOD thread vs the Prozac prior 24hrs ago is enough to make any sane person want to vomit.
What on Earth are these poor souls going to do when it all back tracks to flatter pattern (because let’s me honest, it nearly always does)
Oh yeah.... post a 10 day chart

Felt so mild here today. The usual sodden wet ground underfoot whilst dog walking.
Not Christmassy at all
Hopefully the Day 10 charts (Cold) Start showing their face again, so the MOD thread cheers up until Day 7 when it all falls apart, then repeats a cold day 10 chart the following day
Rinse and repeat
Boom it’s April

As an avid lurker for the past 5 years I have to say nothing has changed.
Apart from 2018 the models have continued to lead us down the garden path. The same culprits swinging banners and victory at Day 10 to 15 day chart promises only to met by default Atlantic or static nowhere’s.
I admire all folk that are willing to chip in knowledge over on the MOD thread. But it’s always a Day 10 chart, that’s right it’s always a Day 10 chart. A Day 10 chart.
A very futile hobby is this, but the very reason it is a hobby for Netweather members, the chase/non result is the hobby!

My take on ppn (if rather copy cat from meto)
Essex, Suffolk & EA may see some wet flakes providing temps are cold enough
-
Crikey, down to 2.8c here now rain has stopped

I think your in one of the best places potentially !
to be low 4s already is good !
Hopefully Steve, however I don’t expect the ppn to make it this far inland tomorrow morning so I expect cloudy drizzle here before milder air moves in from the east for a dry afternoon.
Meto seems keen for maybe some sleet around EA before turning milder.

There are quite a few snowfall / snow depth charts being touted around this forum that require an extremely large pinch of salt!!! Lets not fall into that trap. Never the less it will be nice to see some wet snow tomorrow which is a possibility can't complain!
Yes Some wet snow can’t be ruled out early doors if sufficient PPN around
Though without Meto on board 12 hours out, best to expect nothing.
-
Unless we get some miracle come tomorrow morning of heavy slow moving PPN moving across our region then there’s a chance of some wet snow at higher elevations
current temp 4.6c here and pouring down
-
Cold Rain is what Meto latest forecast is going with. Snow for hills in the northern England and Scotland. Focus on the north (see screenshots)
The only mention for our region is ‘perhaps’ some sleet or snow in East Anglia

A good tweet by the meto ( similar to me mentioning the height of the 0c isotherm ) then it appears on twitter
But it shows the freezing level lowering past 6PM creeping SE towards us
The fact they are focusing on the north tells me that here in our region to expect nothing. Wet Snow/sleet at best over Chilterns and downs before milder air sweeps in late morning
-
Temp rising here in last hour. 4.5c to now 5.5c

A big time follower for 6 years + ( third post)
The model thread hasn’t changed in all my years as a guest. 12z showing SWesterly airstream in FI La La land = winters over!!
Until next week ... rinse and repeat = anyone else knackered?
Who needs an episode of Eastenders

Hi Everyone,
I guess it’s all down to the intensity of the ppn on the western flank come Friday morning. Woburn, Beds tends to do rather well in marginal set ups (Meto app has me down for 3 hours of light snow from 9am Friday) that’s if the ppn even makes it this far inland.
If it does I imagine Dunstable downs/Chilterns could see some of the white stuff.-

Hi Everyone,
Avid follower for a couple years so thought it was about time I join the forum. I’m Tony, nice to meet/chat you.
I live in Woburn, Bedfordshire. Probably known as the safari park to most. Here’s to a cracking snowy winter
and I hope you are all doing well.
