[Moans, ramps and banter]

Had to laugh at the radar this morning, almost taking the you know what out of the south as it covers Belgium in snow.

Every winter since 2010 summed up in 1 image for anyone living in the SE.

Certainly something to keep an eye on, I've experienced a few good events from danglers in the past.

I think we’d all like to experience a dangler or 2 over the coming week.

These look serious upgrades to me, snow depth by next Friday

If this one doesn’t deliver I’m upping sticks and moving to Norway

If anything that brief milder interlude, once in, looks to bring a great snow chance and then sweep away down towards France and gives the UK almost a fresh crack of the whip with a clean slate. Not concerned about it in the slightest.

I think the reason a few toys are being thrown from the pram might be that the easterly that was modelled a few days ago has now transformed into a clear northerly. 

Do we think the blocking could lead to an easterly later in the month?

The writing has been on the wall for the south for a few days and after the next couple of coldish days, looks chilly and average for the weekend and possibly turning much milder next week. 

The south turns colder Monday/Tuesday with significant snow risk.

Wonderful battleground on the GFS 210.

 

[Model Output Discussion - Into 2024]

A lot of handbags in here this morning.

Imagine getting worked up about something none of us can even have the slightest influence over. It’s going to get cold, possibly very cold and with a good chance of snow. Not a lot else to it really.

Light snow falling in SE Essex and feeling bitter

Genuinely fascinating viewing around the 200hr mark. The floodgates are well and truly open by 222. What a chart!

[Model Output Discussion - Into 2024]

GFS at 252, 528 line covering near enough the whole of the UK.

The wait for day 9

Upgrade it looks to me from the ICON, 2-3cm now covering much of the SE quarter. 

[Model Output Discussion - Into 2024]

Icon now goes -13s tomorrow afternoon clipping Essex/Kent.

Let’s see what the 6z brings, never liked the pub run much anyway!

[Model Output Discussion - Into 2024]

What an absolute slog it is to get proper cold into this little island of ours.

These runs are starting to give me nightmares, I nearly called the wife ‘12z’ earlier..

Nice slice of -12 850s, Icon 2pm Monday. 

[The heat haters club 2022]

Hello all, desperate for rain here in parched south Essex. Praying one of these storms hits Tuesday or Wednesday and that this week is the END of this heat! 

[SE, London & EA - Weather Discussion]

Power down here, Benfleet. 

[Storm Eunice - 18th February]

Strongest storm since 87. Worst still to come. Stay safe.

Getting slaughtered here in Essex.
