Snow falling here now,only light as most of that shower has now passed thru, but alas i can join in with the other bragging snow people on here now

blow some more this way... but dont take an extra strongs mints, or it will just be of rain!!

well well well,, just had heavy downpour here,, and everything is covered in snow pellets (or frost hail)

Knew it!! Same buggers that pinch our thunderstorms as well, but lets hope its our year for a change

% of that happening steve??

thanks, but def wasnt pink over me.. more of the blue color

can somebody show me a map of where this bloody snow line is at the mo everybody is mentioning about? knowing my luck its just down the road at tesco's picking up some tea bags

yeah i aint gonna bother looking out anymore, dont think anything this side of the river is gonna be much whatever falls out of the sky

but would of thought if the snow line is THAT close i would of seen some flakes in the heavier stuff on this side, cant be that much of temp contrast?

Nah.. its raining here as well,, let me update that,, chucking it down with rain, no flakes in this either

Just cycled home from work with lovely dark clouds overhead, unfortunately it was a rain shower, not 1 flake or sleet in it

Raining here,, so no change there then.. still got feb/march to go, oh and easter

see it crossed me... sorry mate!! lets hope an easterly kicks in then il have more luck from your way

huh if the weather says a dusting of snow in new york everybody carries on and dont even look out of the window, here its an event!! now imagine if this event turned to major onslaught of snow in this forum, with no end in sight on the models?? Maybe one day it will happen..

Rain with mixture of big flakes in pulses

yeah can see that.. will most likely get hit first. il post what falls

hmm.. just had a little rain here, no snow flakes in that.. strange?? and your just a mile or so from me?

Thanks for that mr captain!! so frontal looses, we stay in cold, couple of sliders happen 50/50 snow or rain,, black ice.. have not seen black ice down here since i was in school,, and that was fun seeing the teachers on there backsides!!

As posted by fergie in model forum >> sorry but had to take a peak.. and got out alive!! << which just shows what a bloody mess it is,, and also could somebody explain some of this in english!! would be somewhat helpful Seeing as it's nice and early in the day, perhaps we can see the remainder of Saturday through without the hysterics expressed on the forum yesterday? Critical points of note are simple: 1. Amplified upper pattern remains favourable for (two) trough disruption(s) early-mid next week 2. Scope of how and where these may occur will NOT be correctly resolved in ANY model at this lead time 3. Ergo, any over-analysis is pointless at this lead time given great uncertainty and variance/volatility in model handling 4. Likely erratic and eventually weakening E'ward progress of occlusion into cold air Tues means uncertainty on areal spread of snow: GFS PPN phase charts to be viewed with due caution. 5. Risk of rain onto frozen surfaces even where no snow. Varied wintry hazards look inevitable but no compelling evidence for a 'nationwide snow event' in strict defined sense. However, threat of disruptive snow for some areas (starting in parts of NI initially under frontal mass ascent; then W Scotland and Wales) is quite obvious, although no regional detail is reliable for now. 6. The potential for some easterly flow later into the week could not be *wholly* discounted yesterday (despite some claiming so); nor again in this morning's output, albeit still considered a lower probability outcome (ca. 40% support for some easterly component in 00z MOGREPS-G) 7. Attempt to resume westerly mobility later in the week (Weds-Thurs, powered by strong jet) may threaten further snow with second trough disruption. Importantly, the transition/timing and evolution of this switch will inevitably be messy and poorly resolved in all models currently. 8. Further swings in output are a given, as models struggle with upstream driving developments in W Atlantic/US. 9. Thus, can we desist from further forum freak-outs today...! :-)

cold sunny odd flurry thats crossing country at mo,,looks like its fizzling out tho. http://weerslag.nl/minuutradar#?x=1212&y=730&zoom=1&imagetype=minuutradar

well bbc still going with the cold to stay in the future with an easterly (a cloudy one) setting in at end of week, mild atlantic not winning, shall check again later to see if its still that way

also how elevated the clouds are if heavy enough. many a time ive seen heavy rain showers turn to snow and give a covering

What is it with this frickin bloody north of the M4 quote!! Is like "sorry southern lovers, but due to the consistency price rise of all property values and concrete greyness color of all your buildings and due to the fact that fibre optic is a lot faster down there then in leeds, we would like to stick a quote in everytime that a snow band comes from south to north/ west to east/ or north to south, that is North of the M4, unfortunately you have us when it comes to an easterly or a thames streamer, but were working on it!!" Just wondering what is it with that bloody road,, some special heated tarmac??

Didnt this happen 2 yrs ago and then we got it all in early feb down here?? Anyway who cares, you should be all used to it by now if you been here quite awhile like i have. And always read the posters who know what there talking about never the ones who like sticking posts of something happening 2 weeks from now!! And especially the idiots who think 1 wrong chart is the doom of existence

We have thunder here,, wish storms wouldnt sneek up on me like that tho!!
