  1. I’ve decided to be done with winter this year. So much potential but literally poor show for a lot of the south. How many SSWs have we had this year? 3? 4? and no BTFE. They’ve only affected northern parts/Scotland and the odd event in the east. Very disappointing! Even met office have got there 6-30 outlooks wrong and change it everyday.  I had hope for Tuesday but the channel low sank south, Friday the Atlantic could’ve gave us a snow event but it’s backed off. It makes it in next week but gives the south rain, north snow. Adios everyone until next winter

    Worth noting, to manage expectations, the 0z EC Det was one of the colder possible solutions, as demonstrated below;

    The blue line being the EC Det.  Not discounting it, it's definitely a possiblity that we can all hope for, just showing the uncertainty (large spread) from the weekend onwards.

    Oh don’t worry I’m not getting my hopes up as I’m yet to even see snow but I’m hoping it comes off

    It's not been bad in the main, tons better than last year. The fact remains that this is day 1 of a prolonged cold spell...we're not even in it proper yet! No clear signs of a breakdown yet, whilst it looks dry there are always chances of things cropping up at short notice. Once the 'storm' has cleared out of the way and the winds veer more direct E, we may see more shower development. One to keep an eye on through tomorrow anyway.

    It’s not that it’s so frustrating our channel low on Tuesday tracked south. The breakdown was meant to be Thursday/Friday and we all would had a snow event and now it’s only delaying the low - south will be rain next week, north snow. Story of this winter! I’ll probably fly to Finland next year

    Yeah, only one run though. Really isn't worth micro analysing each and every run as some people do. Just sit back and see how it unfolds.

    General trend is for it to remain on the cold and dry for most of the month. Not exciting at all, but much better than 'mild wet mush' we usually get.

    I’d rather mild and mush or marginal snow then just dry and cold... this winter really hasn’t been great

    Latest high Res UKV extended at least gives most of the region some snow.  Shows and increasingly fragmented front crossing the region overnight Thursday, into Friday morning, falling as snow for most of us away from Cornwall and coastal areas of Devon/Dorset;

    It would be far from historic, but it would provide some much craved snowfall for many at least.

    To add, whatever snow does fall and settle would at least stay for a while and not quicky melt away, with the UKV keeping many areas north and east of Exeter cold to very cold still, these are the temperatures forecast at 15:00 on Friday afternoon;

    That’s showing it settling on coasts in Dorset...

    Not quite the latter stages we hoped for but there is plenty of time for changes.

    Overall a great evening for coldies . No sign of milder conditions for the foreseeable future .

    It’s great to be able to say that .

    How come it isn’t the latter stages you hoped for? These charts look great for cold and snow especially in south!

    The METO absolutely love forecasting “rain on coasts”.  They’re usually right  

    i bet it drizzled in east Bournemouth in the last mini ice age.

    I’m so desperate now that I’m just giving myself a pep talk about “at least it will be dry”. River levels drop and I might finally get fishing next week

    I live not far from lulworth in countryside and it always looks beautiful when it snows. Can’t wait

    To be fair that isn’t true! Bournemouth has seen plenty of snow events with it settling on beaches. It just depends if the off shore breeze turns it to rain! It’s right timing with the winds!

    This is the temperature forecast map for SW England, on Thursday afternoon, on the Meto website, updated around 2 hours ago;

    Seems to follow most modelling in that milder air only really gets into Cornwall and costal parts of Devon.

    Inland northern and eastern parts of the region remaining on the cold side.

    Ultimately all comes down to where the frontal system sits.  This will chop and change regularly between now and then.

    Why are metoffive so keen on it being sleet and rain? And a breakdown? Or does it only make it into southwest England. I thought it was snow
