    I suspect some didn’t really think we’d be looking south for the snow tonight, given the surface wind is still ENE or NEly, but the snow is being driven by winds aloft rather than surface, a look at recent synoptic analysis shows upper low in red dotted lines has circulation and steering flow from the south for SE now the low has moved across the SW

    Yes.. agree - yet don't understand the graphic... it's just full of small numbers and colours - sorry ignorant me (-:

    That reminds me - where's Mr Blobby these days...

    ..prob in rehab with Gordon the gopher.. or doin time like a few others..

    Can't wait to wake up to a top up of the 1 inch :crazy: we have had fallen in Welwyn today, settling in shade and in un-warmed surfaces from previous days sun is quite a result  - Might be enough to make a snow creation ( gotta be non gender specific so as not to - you know - offend anyone searching!)  before all the snow melts.

    'tis so nice to watch snow....

    fall...

    mesmerising <hypnotized emoticon>

  3. @E17boy - sorry i'm unable quote your post...

    ..a dry easterly at this time of year probably won't happen as there's too much competition with the warmth (and resultant convective strength) of the sun and moisture driven up from the land/sea/atlantic.

    The magic (snow) happens when that warmth and moist meets cold from the east - Winters last blast maybe.

     

    it's a weather watchers fun time - a bit like thunderstorms in the summer (-:

  4. Something for the weekend ...maybe:

    http://wxcharts.eu/?panel=default&model=icon_eu,icon_eu,icon_eu,icon_eu&region=europe&chart=overview,850temp,wind10mkph,snowdepth&run=12&step=111&plottype=arpege_4&lat=51.904&lon=-0.154&skewtstep=0

     

    ^^don't worry it's only a link to WXCharts showing a slight likelihood of snow falling in our region - mid March :crazy:

     

    keep an eye on the 'ARPEGE' when it updates as it was quite accurate last time round.

  5. ooh what a fab time we’ve had, tho glad not to have needed medical attention, been stuck on a train, hit by a driver whilst they texted on a mobile or fell over my shadow into a ditch et al.

    Hope all the mad NW snow posters stay safe and enjoy their hibernation till the next time..

    This is my last pic this season unless the snow thaws enough to mould it into something - view from our front door inc the lamp post weather station :crazy:

    Tis been great to read everyone’s excitement and +ve comments - We’re a strange and lovely lot and long may it continue (-;

    Well the men need to stop farting 

    it's the silent one's we need to be aware of:

    Snow seems to be failing to reach us here..

    http://www.meteociel.fr/observations-meteo/radar2.php?region=uk&mode=1

    but there's hope on Friday (today) later

    Visual surprises for everyone ^

    but if you've time on your hands for the water vapour fab thing:

    I can’t even reply can I ! As I will get banned if I did ?  

    Try posting in the moan thread... the tollorence for wind in there is unbelievable!

    These local threads for local people are far more flatulent.. it's like we understand life is real... or something

     

    and anticipation of weather surprises here is nice - not riduculed

     

    but maybe i'm just getting old

    and wise.. 

     

    3pm tomorrow (friday) is my bet for some more snow to finish off this winter

    Lol ? yeah, exactly! Wife's a teacher and her school has been closed in anticipation of tomorrow 

    People these days have to travel further for work or school than they did when i was a kid in the 80's - better to close the schools and save the heart ache of visiting the morg the next day as a parent or teachers wife/husband - Plenty of nutters out there in warm cars without a clue!

     

    better safe than sorry.. and al that

  9. Something for the... friday anyone?

    http://wxcharts.eu/?panel=default&model=arpege,arpege,arpege,arpege&region=europe&chart=overview,winteroverview,wind10mkph,snowdepth&run=18&step=078&plottype=10&lat=51.904&lon=-0.154&skewtstep=0

    this Arpege model seems to be quite accurate at the mo. Showing what is happening and what could.  3pm on Friday for us in Hertfordshire is worth watching as another band of fun tempts us from the south with wind and cold from an easterlyish direction

     

    but then again it could all go /pete tong/ and we end up with hayfever istead (-:

    The precip on the south eastern flank coming up from France could be a nice little surprise, especially if it keeps pushing north towards our region.

    yes, i just had a look at the met office mobile radar app and it seems to be moving in the right direction

    also here:

    https://en.sat24.com/en/gb/snow

    although temps still rising here in Welwyn (-2c) while dewpoints (-5c) are taking a nosedive & pressure still dropping:

    https://www.wunderground.com/personal-weather-station/dashboard?ID=IWELWYN8

    been snowing tiny snow all day here blowing settled snow about into drifts,  could be a few surprises later..  and maybe the temps'l rise enough to make the snow pliable enough to mould into something... resembling...? Haven't decided yet (-: :snowman-emoji::crazy:

    Humidity here is now 81%

  11. Does anyone have a similar (or better) animation than this that doesn't show Russia's output frozen in time, as it would be interesting to visualize the water vapour or lack of it coming from the east et al'

    http://mp1.met.psu.edu/~fxg1/SAT_NHEM/animweur.html

    What has happened so far - (from my interpretation) is that the warmth from the south has been flattened by the so called beast... i just wonder what strengths are left behind in the high to the east of us?

    hmmm ... still a bit of snow in the Cambridge shade.... high of 1C ... that sun is a real snow thawer

    Back down to -1C now ..... any change in wind direction?

    'Not a sausage' - LOL- Round here it's 'Not a chipolata' for the foreseeable, jus cold )-:
