  1. As you can see the freezing level is moving up London, this should start to drop back down from 11-12pm
  2. Still snowing heavily here in Barnet, reports of turning back to rain in south London a little concerning ?
  3. As if by magic, rain turning to wet snow. I've also just walked into a cupboard on the way to the window to lamppost watch...
  4. It was always forecast to start off being very marginal however I wouldn't give up hope yet. As you can see on https://www.ventusky.com/?p=52.9;-1.2;5&l=freezing the freezing level is around 400m in north London at the moment but is expected to drop to 100m/0 in the next hour or so as the winds wrap round to a more northerly direction.
  5. Snowed here initially in north London with it settling everywhere. Now turned to rain and was turning everything to slush
  6. Clouds building and darkening here, also a slight increase in precip through the spine of the country. Maybe it might start to kick off within the next hour?
  7. Made this account 8 years ago! I now live somewhere else! I would not say -4 to -5 guarantees rain, especially with slack winds and heavy precip. Whether it settles on wet ground etc is another question.
  8. A consistent upgrade would also be nice! What I like about this run is that the upgrade is occurring around day 5-7 rather than day 10-12, therefore has less time to downgrade. Of course the upper air temps would be a bit lower in an ideal world but with slack winds at times and heavy precip about then snow somewhere would be more likely than not.
  9. GFS 6z shows second low turning up a lot quicker with better heights behind it. Could be a good run this one.
  10. Pub run looking good thus far. Slightly better heights out west, slightly better northerly.
  11. Much better from the 12z, not as good as yesterday but better than this mornings 6z. UKMO better still.
  12. How is it moving a lot better? The 6z shows less of everything -cold, snow and prospects for a reload.
  13. If you are looking for settled, chilly weather then the GFS 6z is great news. Anyone that wants anything remotely exciting will be disappointed. Big let down for me after yesterdays great output. Hope its wrong but the GFS has been the trend-setter this winter. Lets see what the rest of the day brings but a back track from the GFS is pretty unlikely.
  14. 12z looks like an upgrade at the moment. Slightly better ridge, better heights over Greenland with more energy going south east. Lets see what the rest of the run brings.
  15. andddd a bit of an upgrade for next wednesday. Wait until tuesday morning before getting too downbeat, things will change.
  16. No downgrades for me, latest gfs ensembles still showing 10-12th feb as our best chance of snow. Quite a few showing coldish uppers making their way down the country:
  17. Is anyone else having a look at the GFS 6z ensembles? They look pretty nice to me- especially for 10-12th Feb where a lot of the runs show runners taking a more southerly track- dragging colder air from north into the UK. If there is going to be a surprise snow event anytime soon- its gunna be in this period. Oh yeah and this is day 6-8 not day 10. Edit: uppers are not particularly cold, but you never know....
  18. Isn't that what model watching is though- looking for potential that could produce weather scenarios which appeal to you.
  19. Slight improvement on the 12z GFS at 132 hours- a little more heights in the Atlantic extending a little further north.
  20. You take that GFS chart way too literally. It is by no mean accurate. If you want to look at precipitation type and amount in more detail then there are several good options on a site like Meteociel.
