  1. Grim isn't it? No sign of snow anywhere on the horizon for here either and according Glacier Point in the In Depth model discussion February is going to be very mild and wet, and he's been bang on with his long range forecasts so far. The frosts over the coming days will be an OK consolation but to be honest I'd prefer a huge dumping like in 07/08 and then back to SWlys. At least those 2 day toppler battlegrounds deliver the goods if it's snow you're looking for.
  2. NMM doesn't show up much precip for anywhere in Wales til Jan 2nd (accumulated precip)
  3. Yep. I almost want 2-3 weeks of mild bartlett zonality to "reset" things and then get a renewed blast of winter in mid-late Jan/Feb. This cold slushy wetness while waiting for a snowy big freeze, and constantly getting dissapointed, is getting depressing, at least you know what you're gonna get with a bartlett and tropical SWlys.
  4. It's sleeting here. No snow on the horizon looking at the charts, don't think that low will give us anything. Am rather getting weather fatigued waiting for this winter to deliver, anyone else?
  5. I can see Pen Y Fan from my house and it's very white, I bet there's 8-12 inches up there. There's a few inches on the 400m hill near me. Might be less now though due to the rain. Latest GEM's got it pretty close to us:
  6. Rain turning to sleet/wet snow here... cold air digging back in?
  7. Rain, often heavy, here. We had about 30mm of rain yesterday today, if temps had been 1-2c lower that probably would have been 30cm of snow. Ah well.
  8. Maybe this time our luck will be in? Potential snow event for Sunday and early next week.
  9. Hmmm I'm getting a feeling of Dejavu Hopefully the result is much better this time.
  10. True, precipitation in Wales is normally not much of an issue is it, the cold is the imporant and rare ingredient... if we get that then the odds of snow shoot up rapidly.
  11. Next Monday looks a chance of snow with a channel low moving in from the SW, similar to this one but it should be cold enough for snow this time... if it comes off which is unlikely.
  12. Here's the Met Office warning for my town tonight and tomorrow: So I can expect 10-15cm of snow tonight and tomorrow? Where exactly is that going to come from? It's clearly nonsense yet they still have it up, if I hadn't seen the models I'd be preparing to shovel myself out of my house by the morning , what if I depended on their warnings for my plans? Not good enough is it?
  13. True, in fact when we DID actually get proper snow (3-4 inches in valleys last week) there were no "Heavy Snow" warnings at all. Oh well, I suppose it's a difficult job.
  14. Met Office got this one wrong for sure. It seems only upland (~+300m) areas have received any significant accumulations while they mentioned in their warnings 4-6 inches down to lowland areas of Wales/Midlands.
