My point is -8 in march isn’t enough in the south for anything realistic! You would need -10 above that and it becomes marginal during the day! Hence why that snow risk could end up being a slush fest! I was commenting on the rain and milder air coming in during the weekend

No don’t need to post rainfall depth charts either! My point is there is clearly a signal for things to turn wet from the Atlantic through next weekend onwards and I was pointing out this could potentially be a wet march! And we know that snow depth charts never come true, there are many factors for accumulating snow and in the south through next week, it’s still very marginal! Could end up with no snow at all!!!! In fact here on the coast I’m forecast light rain and some sleet! I’m just saying that the cold snap is brief and does come to and end and does seem to wake the Atlantic up

If your up north on a hill potentially, but it does look a lot milder in the south from the weekend, also daytime temps even next week are not the best for any snow to hang around away from higher ground in the south! I’m just being realistic btw

That’s very unlikely to happen, we all know how useless snow depth charts are don’t know why people post them! I’m more focused on those lows and how wet it could potentially become

March could potential be a wet month, that Atlantic really does seem to wake up towards the end of the week! Does look to turn milder from the weekend in the south at least! But I do think we will get a lot of rain associated with it

ECM really shows a brief cold snap then milder

Not for the south though midlands northwards yes, but as I’ve been trying to highlight those along southern counties are likely to have a week of cold rain and sleet

Tbh it will just be the windchill temps will feel colder but after all the grey cloud this week especially here on the Essex coast and that biting north easterly wind, I can’t see next week feeling any worse tbh if we get more in the way of sun then it might actually feel warmer out of the wind

I absolutely hate the idea of any snow! Luckily being in the south and on the coast with day temps around 6 or 7 it’s very unlikely to be around for long, even if it does snow! Would imagine more of a slush fest, which quite frankly can’t stand! forecast sunshine and light winds next weds and temps of 7 so hopefully won’t feel too awful

Shame it didn’t come earlier in winter tbh, temps next week still forcast 5 to 7 in the south, the snow would hang around for long during the day!

It might feel cold but with those temps during the day any snow that’s in the south will melt very quickly especially in a strengthening sun, tbh if we do get some sunshine it will probably feel warmer than it did this week stuck under the cloud

Gfs showing temps 5 to 7 for next week in the south really don’t get the excitement hardly Ice and snow days bit of sleet showers

They don’t really show anything colder than what we have now!

Plus alongside the milder trends being shown met office is going for a drier and warmer spring likely hood

Am certainly pleased to check the models this morning and find that more agreement for milder options are on the table, as I said a few days ago, milder weather is increasingly likely
