Still had absolutely nothing here and still crystal clear skies yet only a few miles away plenty of snow about!
This is where it has been going all night so far!
Reading snow shiled still very much intact

amazing the differences and locality of the snow this evening. Nothing here at all to the east of Reading yet just drove to Ascot 7 miles from me to drop something off and there's plenty there and was snowing very hard.

I'm 10 miles east of Andover and the showers are almost knocking on my door now, just don't die on me now!
Just so you know, the've been over this way and really nothing much came out of it, few grains, ver very light stuff so don't expect anything these showers really aren't deliverying much if anything.

Is Luton too far north for this band of showers/thames streamer?? We have a good covering from early shower. Met office radar is soooo slow so I cant work out which way these are heading if its ne to sw then they will miss me but straight e to w then i will be in firing line. Any ideas??
Yes, Thames streamer is basically just the areas immediately around the estaury and Luton is no where near I'm afraid so that wont effect you. I wouldn't think you will get much until later tonight /tomorrow that's when it seems to be forecasted, as for here too, the showers coming in over London are dying out before getting 40 miles to the west where I am, I am expecting a small covering though by morning but shant hold my breath as in these situations usually everything passes to the south of me and goes through Surrey/Hants

fairly rapid thaw setting in now near to Reading, most of the snow on the trees is melting off quite fast. nice 2-3cm covering though cant complain lovely to see the white stuff before i head off to California on Saturday for some more!

Difficult to resist it Dave n'est ce pas? It all pushed through faster than I expected so fell overnight instead of during today, but that's a little detail!
Enjoy whatever you have! Yes, howling wind and a temp up to 6C here! It's a different country down here sometimes.
It was always forecast to fall over night?? You must have been out on your own with that idea!

the meteo 24 free 15 min radar has the PPN forecasted to practically switch direction and not get out of the southwest and wales

As my location isnt favoured anyway why would that be wishful thinking! its unlikely that it will amount to much here so its not really in my interests to overplay something, you've been around long enough to know how difficult to forecast these situations are, why do you continually pick on my posts as wishful thinking, if we would have followed your thoughts of a while back no where would be seeing snow! and we would all have been flooded already by GW! your smug tone is seriously beginning to grate on me aswell as other people on here.
And frankly you've caught me on a bad day and sometimes certain things just have to be said! I know you are well read and know alot about weather but you just treat many people on here like you're the lord of the manor and we're but poor peasants working the land for you!
I know I might get banned or seriously reprimanded by the mods for my outburst but most people on here probably agree with me! so there its done.!
I certainly do Nick. Actually to be honest as moer of an avid reader I can't think of many occasions where SF has been spot on with any forecasts, his are not ones I generally pay any attention to anyway as I'm sure do others.

pretty much as expected then, lots of uncertainty this week will be very much a watch and see week me thinks!

I can confirm though that the Reading forcefield is still well intact as well, you're not on your own
