Model output discussion - deep cold inbound?
snowspotter replied to Paul's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
Yes probably , the trend is for a more prolonged cold spell across all the models . Just this particular run brings in sw winds . 6 hours earlier the GFS run. was more prolonged -

Yes 2018 BUT He’s pretty much spot on 19 out of 20 times -

I honestly think the signs are unfolding here for too much energy to get an easterly forming for us . The GFS insists on lows buckling an early easterly flow . It’s game over after that . Seen it so many times . I want the be wrong but I can’t see a good outcome here . The bbc aren’t buying the cold , no warnings from met as well . It’s just my view to be prepared for it going wrong that way you won’t start throwing toys about . Oh for the old days when an easterly would just ease itself in . -

Got a feeling I’m going to do quite well out of this returning band here -

I share your pain I was convinced I was getting another failure . But it ended up most snow since 2018 I think IMG_4630.MOV -

Hopefully soon it was a great one round here today . Snow still here now . It’s all so localised though isn’t it . Friends in Brighton were well fed up with me sending endless photos and videos of snow 35 miles away when it poured all day their and their walks were quagmires -

I was alarmed to see my phone app showing rain! however if it makes it here (which I am convinced it will within the hour) I am expecting snow. It is slow though. Come to daddy radar -

Do you know what . I’d be tempted to just go back old school and not even look at the projected micro changes . Just enjoy anything that comes out of the sky that isn’t wet. Personally I had a great morning last weekend going up Reigate Hill and seeing snow . I’m fully confident tomorrow will be a repeat -

Model output discussion - into the last third of January
snowspotter replied to Paul's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
Is this the fabled SSW effect we’ve been hearing about since mid December? A big fat Azores/souther European high pumping warm air from a westerly direction ? Don’t tell me ‘Mid February looking great for coldies ‘ -

Don’t think there was down here . Met Office always cover worst case scenario. What I had is the best since 2018 which isn’t saying much ! -

It’s the early bird that catches the snow ! . To be precise I left house in dark set of on 10km round trip to Reigate Hill. snow started here around 5:30 am and lasted I guess max 2.5 hours .

Pleased I went really enjoyed the morning IMG_4511.MOV -

Moderate snow here at Reigate . Up and ready for a 7am walk up Reigate hill where it will be colder. Settled a bit on cars and grass here at 240 feet -

Has anyone noticed how the pattern on their smartphones is to slowly reduce the number of hours projected for snow . Like today was 4pm-9pm then 5pm 9pm then 6-7 and now just rain. Like they try and hope you won’t notice . I’ve had 10 days of virtual snow on my iPhone and none in reality . -

No my friend : not sure how old your memory is but February 1991 was a mild month just with a monster easterly sandwiched in it . A real winter spell. A whole months of average or below by 1c just won’t do anything . Averages don’t define snow events . Wouldn’t you rather have two weeks mild and sunny and 2 weeks of a beast from the east and an average overall. Or a below average same every day for a month with no snow . That’s what I’m saying
