  1. Radar says yes

    Reality says no

    Not even any rain here

    Enjoy your snow those folks that have it

    I bet those people in up state New York, or even Turkey and Italy would be in hysterics over us and our excitement over a dusting .....

    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..

    Pretty much anything after Monday should be treated with great uncertainty at the moment. The first front which pushes in on Tuesday might lose it precipitation as the trough disrupts and weakens over the UK. Beyond that the current form trend is for low pressure to sink through the UK into Europe midweek with another low following a similar track at the end of the week and into next weekend.

    ECM ens show this nicely.

    Overall the pattern is cold with the potential for frontal snow, also the risk of rain falling on frozen surfaces causing black ice which is another potential hazard.

    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!!

  3. 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 :pardon:

     

    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...! :-)

  4. So more specifics tomorrow

    The showers look like moving through during the middle of the day

    Associated dew points

    At or below freezing in the north of the region, higher in the south, these are tending to rise during the day.

    The models have generally trended to see snow showers north of London, with a mix of rain/hail/sleet over and south of London.

    So I would think that Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire, Northamptonshire, Suffolk and Norfolk would be in a chance of a dusting. Things could change though as the scenario looks marginal. If the showers survive the trip across the country then maybe other areas could see snowfall as evaporative cooling could turn showers to snow in any spot which sees them.

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

  5. Bbc news 24 8.57 kirkwood

    Had a weather front coming up from the south with snow north of the m4

    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??

  6. Exactly what I expected really, happens 80% of the time with easterlies... This cold spell/snap isn't looking that great tbh at least from a general viewpoint

    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
