    You sound like you are not a true believer.... [goes off to sharpen pitchfork and light flaming torch]

    The UK Snow Twitter Map is good in these sort of nowcast circumstances... https://uksnowmap.com/

    Hawkhurst snow shield standing firm...

    Really?
  5. loafer
    Shard webcam interesting...

    700hPa Wind Charts below, Now, Tonight and Tomorrow Morning.
  7. loafer
    Yes, but what about the weather...?!
  8. loafer
    9.5cm and heavy snow here.
  9. loafer
    Yes...the wind charts have been pretty consistent on that for a few days.
  10. loafer
    Quite heavy here now...
  11. loafer
    Although the line is further south than the warning, so subtle changes as we get closer.

    I suspect the reason is the wind direction...strong winds from NNE giving convection along a long fetch of the North Sea.

    GFS consistent for Tuesday...
  14. loafer
    Latest models certainly show potential...

    Take a look at this set of charts...Hatched area is snow. http://www.meteociel.fr/modeles/gfs/royaume-uni/precipitations-hd/3h.htm

    That is really quite sobering, given our own temp differential is ~20 degrees.

    The key to snow is cold, at the risk of stating the obvious. All of the models show deep cold coming in very early next week and, for example upper temps of -10 over Brighton. Compare that to -5 being a reasonable indicative threshold for snow amongst other indicators, and you can see the conditions are good. Next step required is precipitation and with easterlies this isn’t big masses of cloud like you see with storms coming over the Atlantic, but is convective showers where moisture is sucked up by winds passing over the sea and wet ground. This is where the snow is likely to come from and is looking hopeful. Only when we are 24-48 hours away will anyone have a cogent view on snow forecasting.

    Quoted for future use...! More seriously, the difference this time is the consistency with the models. Normally we have one outlier calling it diffferently and the models converge on a tepid compromise. This time they all think it’s going to be Baltic.

    I don’t think he is joking...snowing in Hawkhurst.
  20. loafer
    Wintry mix in Hawkhurst, halfway between Hastings and Tunbridge Wells. Not settling.

    Interesting. Models say DP should be 2 for you at midnight, and that seems to be what is holding back snow tomorrow as uppers are cold enough. One to watch closely.
  22. loafer
    Light snow here in Hawkhurst, about 10 miles south of Tunbridge Wells.
  23. loafer
    Not sure about that. I went around the southern M25 at about 4pm and all the signs said "Salt Spreading", which, given the rivers of water on the road, was the very definition of futility.

    And you, a non-believer - do you repent? Are you a snow-believer now...?!
  25. loafer
    Very interesting...I wonder if the models are underplaying the snow probability on that basis - we have seen it before!
