Severe Siberian icy blast

I no tonight was a let down , i had 40mins of heavy snow , got 2cm lol at the most , now then . . . tomorrow ????????? The bbc weather shows a massive white area moving from wales through to the east of england , my bro saw it earlier and the bbc beeb on the we show it over wales at 3pm then i in the east at 1800 hrs i think , so that will hopefully deliver but in the mids we get let down time an time again so i dont no , but i would say artic westerly winds are the best chance we have to get features from troughs etc , ANY THOUGHTS PLS???? lol Thanks

HAHAHAHAHAH , funny , im use to it iv had all my life lol , but its wilmer not wilma ! Its actually all im known as in my town not a lot of ppl actually no my 1st name lol

Listen pls people go and have another look at the latest radar and see that as they have updated to half 4 and notice how its intensified again as its come over land , it will continue to do this as it moves closer , love it lol

lol this is funny every1 is worrying so much , the shape has changed a lot in the last few hours , and will continue to develop in the next few also , we will be ok , have faith in the bbc , the other night they were clock on with the streamers and they will be tonight , it will pep up as it comes south for us all , they have said the east will bear the best, but we will still see 5-10cm i can almost be sure of that ,keep the faith ppl

Im pretty sure we wouldnt have to worry bout it been snow , remember the surface temp would have an effect also , i no the gfs shows that wamer secter , but imo i dont think it would have an effect on the ppn been anythin other than snow , also if what iv read about where the tripple point is been heavier ppn then as its in the bristol area we could do quite well i should think

Never take metcheck seriously in my experience , the tripple point in the front looks to be bristol area or there abouts , which should mean we get the heavy ppn , maybe the bbc arent picking this up??? Or maybe its bull and thats not how it works??!! They say the eastern areas can expect another 5cm , didnt even mention the mids , althought it clearly went over us, i hope ot dont be another flop

Hi , wheres this warning?? you mean for tonight?

IF THAT WEATHER FRONT TURNS OUT TO BE ''A WINTRY MIX'' ITS PATHETIC. TODAY IT NEVER REALLY ROSE ABOVE 0c AND TONIGHT AS LOW AS -6 , SO ITS STUPID TO EVEN SUGGEST IT. IMO ANYWAY

Morning all , its got a hell of a lot closer if you run the radar throught the night you see how much closer it is

The radar which some1 has just put a link to in the southeast forum shows what looks to me like streamers the north of the main band of ppn , which has out name on it . I would put the link but im having loads of probs with my computer and its s@#t!!! Go an have a look

I hope your right, the reason why we have a quiet slot is becausewe'r between the two , a bit like straight after a heavy shower you get a clear patch , but if what your saying is right , once the wind veers northerly wouldnt that stop the showers coming inland and ta showers bk to the coast??????

Can you post a link to the radar pls , cheers!!!!!

Ones in the southears have just said the low seems to be heading towards southeast england, they mean the core of the low, and sayin they areworried , which is surely good news for us midlanders ??? warckshire /henley sorry for the spellin mistakes again!

Yea i saw that , the bbc24 had more snow over the mids , its a case of now casting as ever , keeps ever1 on there toes too! Theres no reason why it wont be different as it comes , its always sightly different , i think a coverin isnt out the question

Hi all, just read in the east/south east forum some1 said , the low is creating new cells off the main 1 , they also had a link with it, and it seems to me that we'r gonna get some of this , imo , not bias ! (dunno bout the spellin there) i think we could be supprised tonight , any thoughts??

Right then iv looked at the radar for europe and from what i can see this is how it stands We'r currently sitting in the slot of dryer air that comes infront of a front , and we'r too close to the low to be involved in the showers , so i personaly think our best option is to hope the low system throws areas of ppn off it as it spins round , coming into our neck of the woods , i feel the shower activity is too far north for it to have a major inpact , however it seemed to be that there unsure the exact track of the low pressure is goin to take, and it did seem to be throwing thinhs slightly further north and west , its a case of now casting i think. Any1 have in insight to tonights event of thoughts would be great . thanks

HEY LISTEN EVERY1 . . . I have a real feeling about this , carol on the bbc said the snow will affect the midlands as we go through the night , the actual beeb run didnt show the snow directly over us but it shows they arent sure exaxtly where its goin to hit , watch his space ppl seriously , i think its gonna bk track so hears to positive thinkin

Yea iv got to say the charts look quite a lot better this morning , the now more in land , remeber this . . . The snow NEVER falls to the mile where forecast , its always different come the even, also . . . . There will be other little developments they dont pick up on untill during the event , plus with the upper air like it is , there will be a lot of disturbences i feel , so all in all . . Im a lot more hopfeull this morning , so saying that . . . Let it snow let it snow let it snow

Well iv just looked at weathertwo model discussion and somebody asked why know one is talking about the sat night event and some1 wrote bk sayin ''cause its a mainly northerly event'' and some1 else said ''nothing compared to the april 08 event'' when i personaly had 4inc from that , if this turns out to be a flop it goes to show how pathetic things have become, also what i dont understand is if we have -10uppers 2moz and fri then surely with the warm sea shouldnt that mean severe convection?? Last wk ones were saying ''the north sea would be a snow macheine'' !!!! And i agreed , so what has gone wrong ?????????????

To be honest with you , thats the first iv heard of the sat night event as back edge snow?????? Its meant to be an omega block with bitterly cold esterly winds followed by a cold northerly, if there is now another WARM secter involved for tat front then i really cant be arsd with it , its the middle of dec , why would there be a warm secter? COMMENTS PLS

Nice charts coming through for the nxt wk or so , details at this point though are set to differ , more ups and downs no doupt , with this event tomorrow evening , does any1 think the area of ppn forecast to affect the south-east is a done deal then now? I no how hard these events are to forecast and iv seen it time an time again things change within hours to the event , this morning they were expecting it to travel inland throught the mids and towards the south-west petering out as it does so , now they think the south-east , is there chance o things changing again you think?? i.e push back in land , maybe further north , south , west ect. . . Thoughts very welcome ,

You see i dont get why the warnings are there for eastern areas when the models look to me the midlands in general will get a few decent falls out of this ?? Any1 shed some light on this pls t will be a great help , i no the favored spots are likely to see the most but the fax and gfs show various troughs to play a key part , any1 no why the met hasnt picked up on this? Thoughts welcome , thanks

Hi all, iv been out all day at work and unable to check the models until now as i went straight up to st andrews after work to watch the famous boys in blue !! My brother told me about the downgrade earlier today and i thought nothing of it , and now iv just checked the models and it put the smile even bigger on my face after watchin the blues win , it was a perfect end to a tue night !! Im very happy with the charts and the trend is cold and snowy and always has been in the main , its a rolercoaster yes , but with more ups than downs now , im very happy and its only a matter when the snow comes i feel now , not if . Happy days . . . . . . .for now

Honestly take no notice of that , iv just watched it myself , thats gonna be her famous last words, all you have to do is look at the charts and see the potential, iv heard so many time on midlands today say ''the chance of the odd wintry flurry'' followed by 3inc of snow, annoying none the less

Agreed in the main , the cold spell with the gfs looks a little less intense , the majority of the uk have roughly -8,-9 uppers althought the -10 air does make it in the uk just not as widespread as yesterdays or the last wk or so's charts have shown , how much difference that would make im not sure in terms of snow . And yes theres still time to change , but i dont think we can be disheartened really as its showing easterly gales more or less , and mybe that low to ore south will pep snow up some what ?? Thoughts pls . . . . .
