A few more powdery flakes here. I love seeing powdery snow - not a common sight around these parts.
-
Evening all,
Just stepped in the house after being out to town. Just a couple of fleeting light snow showers - and wow proper powder snow.
-
So whats the average of those having a punt? I'll have a guess at a CET of 4.0. First half of the month very cold, second half very mild - months always seem to average out again
-
Often easterlies produce nothing more than cold dry conditions. Ideally want we want to be looking for is continued easterlies cooling the UK and Ireland reaching beyond were the Gulf Stream splits North and South. Then we need to see some activity over Scandinavia and see winds turning to a NE. If cold conditions persist further and continue to block any attacks from the Atlantic a Northerly would be most welcome (without any Westerly element) and eventually would lead to widespread snow.
Someone posted a chart yesterday showing how far the Jetstream has travelled South this winter with low after low hitting Portugal and Spain - a great spectacle in this day and age and long may it continue through Jan-April.
-
Looking at the radar I am unsure in which direction the expected snowfall is to reach us here in Lincolnshire. There appears to be nothing within range coming across the North Sea, but some activity over Scotland that could drift this way I guess.

Just started snowing here, albeit very light just blowing in the wind. A rogue cloud over Cleethorpes as we speak giving nothing more than a tease of what could be to come?
-
Well its just started raining lightly here in Grimsby and that very small pile of snow looks like seeing its last day. :violins:
-
Yeh!!
Nice
Hard to explain as I know very little has the Blue and Purple ever completely surrounded the North Pole - historically speaking?
I assume they are cold high pressure systems.
-
Well now that Models are depicting snow/rain for the SW and SE within the next few days and there are separate threads for this purpose. Does anyone have an idea what will follow this?
-
I think its more coincidence more than anything else SnowLover 2009. Its easy to sum up a decade as time passes. The 90s - hot summers and drought and average sometimes mild winters. The 00s less hot summers and generaly less mild winters with slight-close-to-call winter synoptics.
-
As has been stated many times we need the LOW to miss the UK or stay as far to the south as possible to allow to allow cold from the NE to build and come towards the UK. The further south this LP dives into Southern France, Northern Spain and Portugal the better are chances are of prolonged cold as the Jet to the south becomes 'distracted'.
Oh Kold just posted the same thing.

Hi,
I'd like to have a brief comment on the angle that many posters take within the Model Discussion thread.
Often I read on day X this may or may not happen, this needs to happen, hopefully this will happen; people always looking to the future; there often seems to be a distinct lack of 'the now'. What did happen against what was projected? Are we experiencing weather today that was projected 3 days ago?
If today's weather was forecasted to be 5c, but actually turned out to be 2c surely this has some bearing on upstream developments and could be viewed as a good thing for an upcoming cold period being progged. Surely the journey is just as important as the destination?
-
Yeah I wanted to wish everyone a merry christmas at the stroke of midnight, but some scrooge removed my post TEITS!! :lol: :lol:
Keep up the good work folks, I don't know very much about forecasting, but reading the posters here is always such a delight.
-
Let me be the first to say, merry xmas all! Long may the models show good fortune. :lol: :lol:
-
Did someone just post snow depth in millimetres?
-
Funny looking Sleet =P
Just glad it ain't lasting all night.
-
-
Sure Lewis, I'll tell you the moment it begins snowing.
-
Car thermo reporting -3c here just under 30 minutes ago.
-
Annoying when ppl use words like 'pouring' and 'chucking it down' when talking about snow.
-
Heavier snow falling now - whiting out the roads (which had largely cleared earlier) and giving us a fresh dusting.
Yeah I got them too - nice big flakes.
-
Just been enjoying Russell Howard on the box, ah yes it has indeed been snowing. A slight dusting. ^^
-
Nice one, well I am quietly confident that it will be snow. How often can you say that Grimsby in the past joins in with 5-10cms of snow with the likes of Louth coupled with some days were the temperature has never risen above freezing point?
Interesting for a coastal location you must admit. Out of interest how far is Conisholme from the coast? Not a lot right? I assume thats the place with the reservoir.
Heres hoping for the white stuff.
