Is their any chance a moderator can post a link how to hide messages from certain posters please.

Hope so, although you mentioned flips yesterday the meto was talking about colder further south today entirely different. Personally as a southerner I’ve written off Christmas period and look past that to the 28th and onwards.

Very much ties in with the latest met forecast just pre and post Christmas unfortunately for in the south.

Well done you are a absolute genius

You know cold weather is afoot when you start. Has Croydon Council issued you with a ‘alert of readiness’ yet mate?

Couldn’t have put it better myself. I’ve always been under the impression that no matter if screamingly easterlies are showing at +24 until the met are on board don’t take it as gospel. I personally see today as a positive position a very good met update and we also know that Christmas and post will not be resolved until early next week.

don’t know what people expected up until 22nd as far as I am concerned 22nd could be the moving day that takes us forward Christmas and post heading into the new year festivities.

imo December 21st-22nd is moving day and where scatter is appearing on many ensembles that’s 7 days away and brings us to +168 at a start for the possible cold outbreak a long time for ups and downs and believing and disbelieving op outputs. I feel we will see a cold outbreak and outlook however personally think it will be a slow burner possibly just after Christmas before we see a sustained spell of cold weather. Although what is more encouraging at this point from a coldie camp perspective is in the building up a lowering of temperature and very seasonal feel. Starters before the mains..

This was my point last night expect a backtrack westward correction regarding the block.

yes and quite earlier than you think I’m thinking 9th-11th December. Perhaps a tad before.

Looking forward to seeing a very much upbeat cold camp tomorrow. I have faith.

Cannot buy these heavy bowling ball lps at short to medium ranges. Imo it’s a default pattern to a battleground. lps strong but then weaker as time slides towards reality and becomes weaker and slips southwards allowing more of a foothold for winds coming in from the cold continent.

Westward correction as always i very much favour.

yes correct as the same as London, however from past experience it is always put the milder picture first before the colder solution later. Very encouraging from my pov as we very rarely see a colder extended outlook with snow symbols and see such utter garbage in the output prior +120.

Sorry no link mate Just have a look at the temps and weather compare the two shows to me not much in it at all.

Looks at the Amsterdam weather ahead then looks at the London weather not much difference at all in extended range. Food for thought.

If you dare my friend I can give you my post code it has hammered down with rain the last 2hrs.

Hi all from a unfortunate snowless south london! However my second favourite weather is T-S it’s currently chuckling it down here and has for the past few hours.

6cm of snow here and still coming down.

haha and all this hype and our best snow cover was a cm a week or so ago.

5-10 cms possibly borderline 10-15cm here in south London I’d take that right now.

Question: With -10 uppers to come why can it not be possible on a strong wind to blow showers or streamers well inland.

Surely also showers and possible streamers should be blown well inland on a medium/strong wind?

I am quietly confident of seeing 5cms+ from Sunday’s offerings, shower bands & potential streamers excluded.

So lovely to be working the night shifts this week and with that spare time reading the ups and downs and flow of the forum, What is even better at this point in time was gambling to take next week as paid leave. I had to submit this request before monday gone and previous years the gamble has failed miserably. This time could be the jackpot ️
