    Snow & Cold Spell General Discussion Pt 4

    in Spring Weather Discussion

    Well a fascinating 24 hours ahead, very much a throwback to the eighties and great that the younger members can see such an event.

    Events like this can be letdowns - Dec 95 was one such occassion - although much milder air than we are talking about this time was expected to sweep North, heavy snow was forecasted as the system met the colder air. The reality was a big disappointment with patchy snow and freezing rain before the milder air got in. This was despite Birmingham and Manchester weather centres issuing severe weather 'nowcasts' in the early afternoon !

    Another event in the mid-80s (can't remember exactly when' saw a Channel Low expected to bring heavy snow to Central Southern England, South Midlands and London. It was talked up so much that ITN even posted a man in Central London to wait for the snow in the early hours of the morning. The reality was that the Low headed in another direction and gave South Wales, parts of SW England and the SW Midlands a dumping !

    The nature of the event is always a little hazardous because milder air is always behind the Low pressure system, even in the classic winters, warm sectors would take hold across SW areas and occasionally further North. However, it looks good for many Southern areas and even better for Mid Wales and the Central Midlands.

    Perhaps a bit premature, but Dudley and surrounding areas look set for a pasting.

    lol, its allready appearing on the radar and its bloody heavy! ovcoarse the midlands are guna get hammered tommorow!

    It could do but you probably wont be the very worst affected. The very very worst affected will be the West Midlands, Parts of East Midlands, S Wales, London and parts of Northern central southern england.

    I would say the West Midlands will be the very worst.

    I dont think yorkshire is most at risk by far tomorrow.

    :drinks: I was only reffering to yorkshire... Its obviouse that wales/midlands is most at risk...

    I think things are looking quite good for Yorkshire now. :) Even though nothings really changed since all my moning yesterday! :drinks: :lol:

    Firstly, anysnow pushing up on thursday will instantly stick!.. not a question it wont... :) Lets say if we get patches of light/moderate dry snow on thursday evening/night, that could quite easily deposit 5-8 cm.... which aint bad in this day and age!

    Then on Saturday we are in a prime position for a lenghty spell of snow (still uncertanties surrounding this), but this is most likely to turn to sleet and rain later on.. :(

    For thursday west/south yorkshire most at risk, then on saturday the highest risk areas will probably be north/west yorkshire... :)

    Wales allways get the snow and the midlands dont do too bad, so I think Id happily take the snow off you.. :)

    Suprisingly there is a place Id be happy to see get snow, even if it involved me missing out! :(

    And thats Carlisle! they are geographically the worst mainland area for seeing snow in Britain, n anyone remember mildcarlisle? lol

    I'm going to be a selfish tit and hope for that low to dive as far south as possible so that we can get a proper easterly (i.e. a wind coming from an ENE direction). This way; a lot more people will see snow without all this transitional\battle ground b*llocks.

    Im going to be selfish and hop for that low to go further north so I can get loads of snow on thursday.... :(

    I think Tyne&Wear\County Durham will largely miss out tonight on any snow showers; with Teesside and East Yorkshire more likely to be in the path of the showers.

    Rememeber that big northerly last year?

    Aberdeen got about a foot of level snow, scarborough/linconshire/east anglia a couple of temporary 2-4" falls, yet dhuram missed out completly!?
