Yup anything north or west or south of a line from Norwich to Brighton looks a fail. Good luck to those further east and south east.
-
Where’s this convection anything that comes off the coast seems to be losing its intensity thus far.
-
More organised snow now pulling down from the Ipswich area.
-
Bigger showers building to our north east Lowestoft way heading our way.

Going to get very interesting tonight if things go to plan.
So we get to about 6pm this evening and snow that we have seen and or melted will freeze over. Then on overnight whatever we get will stick as we have no interference with the sun.

Meto forecasts changing faster than the speed of light. (For the better currently).

Good luck to you then, if the concrete ain’t white then to me I’d much rather +16 and sunny ?

Right guys, thurs/ Friday looks interesting, -2 to -6 uppers, however cloud temp below and in will be lower and even with -2 uppers will still fall as snow, allbeit won’t be as powdery as the snow we are going to have Monday - Wednesday. Looks good!
Beast from the east?
OR
Bas**** from the east?
Honestly the way this has been hyped up and now a possibility of a few snow showers here and there (except those near coastal locations which is more favourable) is pathetic followed by a snow to rain event come end of week,
Roll on spring if we can’t see settling snow that sticks around for a few days. Here’s hoping that the outlook looks more favourable.

Thames streamer looks to be the reasoning behind the amber warning. I’d expect to see areas just west of that amber to be upgraded as we get down to that event. Remember 5+ years ago it dumped nigh on a foot of snow here in Morden.

Just commenting on what the models are showing. A ESE,ly isn't a very good direction for the far SE due to the very short sea fetch. Even im hoping for a change in the flow from the model output towards a more E,ly with less of a S,ly element.
Understood and btw hope you’re on the mend, We shall see what comes to fruition next week tbh it’ll be great and I’ll be chuffed to see a few cms stick around and see my little one at the age of 5 use the sled that’s been non existent for 5 years.

Yes mulzy very frustrating. We do have 4/5 days of wintry weather but would been good for it to carry on . Just proves anything past T120 is JFF . Just find it frustrating because the eps were very good this morning and 12 hours later they flip . You never no they might flip back ?
Can I just point you to the meto text..
Dont they seem brilliant and hardly mentioned ‘Friday could see heavy and disruptive snow however uncertainty remains’
They (meto) have been great in calling this cold spell incoming so what’s not to doubt (its risk = high reward imo).

ECM OP was much warmer than the mean but still an increase of 5C compared to 0Z.
On a different note I do feel sorry for those in the far SE though i.e Kent. Whilst the snow showers will continue during Wed onwards for N England/Scotland, the convective days for the far SE only appear to be Mon/Tues due to the flow veering ESE,ly. The likes of Norfolk, Suffolk and maybe Essex may still pick up a few snow showers.
Amazing how you can pick out snowfall in showers due to flow however we are at +96 +++ for a slightly different kink to take things another direction. Not a forecast just a fact,

The north east looks quite snowy mon night
Also looking at the flow a possible thames streamer setting up?

It’s way too keen to bring that milder air in quickly
Now where have I heard that saying before?
GFS notorious for going default mode and pushing in milder air to end previous cold spells only to get put further and further back. Some would argue that it is not in default mode as it has cross model support for a lp to push in from the sw.
However this is a very strong block to our north east and I cannot see it just being blown away that easy.

The uppers spread stays just about ok - though would expect things to be corrected as the ‘poorer cluster’ ebbs away from the modelling and we see how the Iberian trough interact with the growing sceuro trough. The s word should begin to noticeably increase in the forecasts today
Hope that S word follows on with NOW and not HIT.
Fantastic output this morning and i feel we are all about there up to D6 so getting progressively colder into the weekend with snow showers from sunday becoming more widespread into the new working week (Not for me as on leave) and perhaps if the flow aligns favourably these showers merging into longer periods of snow. As some poster mentioned Germany reporting that they expect 50cms from shower convection I would not be surprised to see them totals perhaps more to be heard in the UK as we’ve seen in the past the north sea can be a brilliant snow making machine if the flow aligns favourably upon your location.
Plenty to be positive about if it’s the S word we’re after.

What we have to remember most cold east winds is Dry air..may be that's why BBC and metO are being cautious. The flow needs to be with a bigger track over the north sea to give a snow event..The North Sea is at its yearly coldest this week.
Erm meto forecast entirely different than the bbc when it comes to precipitation. Have a look at the text in the outlook ?

Guys & Girls best throw the tail in for those in my zone as mentioned in previous post. Unless the wind veers more ene (bit like this morning) then it’s a bust.
And if you have hopes for actual settling snow then good luck I’m afraid a sugar dusting that lasts for a few mins (longer overnight) don’t count as a so called ‘Beast from the east’.
