    Model Discussion thread full of the same old Coldies and Mildies all posting furiously to their hearts content trying to outdo each other. Yaaaaaawn.

    At this stage surely too far away to guess, especially given the models only suggesting shower activity for the SE corner rather than any organised bands of heavy snow across the UK.

    But what's the weather like? ;-)

    Phlegmatic about Sunday's rain/sleet/wet snow event. It's not even really that noteworthy a cold spell and we're really grabbing at straws if we're all clutching at seeing some flakes of miserable wet snow. Wake me up when a proper easterly's on the cards.

    Snowing really hard now; must be at least 5cm in the last couple of hours. Sorry, just fancied writing that as it beats saying it's dry, sunny and milder, plus it's going to be at least two weeks before I can say it again.

    The Met Office do get a bit of a bad press - esp. in the Model thread, but invariably seem to come out right, annoying as that can be.

    Apologies, didn't see Paul's original post - scanning the thread on an iPhone is never ideal. So here's my fuller contribution: SYNOPTICS 8 Having trailed the Model Discussion thread through the dog days of zonality this winter, it was fascinating to see the current cold snap come together. Never quite as severe as some drama queens in there thought it would be, but then that's rampers for you. Fairly happy with the way the synoptics played out although tad disappointed the winds never picked up from the SE'ly direction as expected. Would have preferred an E/NE'ly direction, but never quite materialised. All in all think we got what was progged. SNOW: 7 Sunday saved this spell for me, but even then would have liked it to have fallen heavier and earlier as it did from about 2-5pm. The Saturday snow in Dec 10, which was virtually a white-out for its duration, is how I'd like it. FROSTS: 6 Disappointing: too cloudy, especially after snow cover. So a 7/10 for me. Will have to be markedly snowier, windier and frostier to get it up to an 8. Having said that, just stepped off a train at South Bermondsey and feeling colder and windier than it has for a while... Here's to a NE'ly set up in Feb.

    4 degrees in Dulwich. The fag end of a cold spel now; dirty snow melting rapidly. Happy to see it disappear as quickly as possible and get stuck into the models looking for the next event. So, 6,5/10 for me. Sunday apart, it's not been that snowy, not felt that cold and Friday's frontal snow was disappointing tbh. Feb 2009, short as it was, was a far better snow event: windier, showers merging into that long period of snow and selfishly, all from a better direction for us in Greater London. Having said that, either snow event from Jan 87 or Feb 91 trounces them all. Snow was so heavy even the main arterial routes couldn't cope with the speed of the it. Remember working up at Angel for the latter and seeing cars slowly being brought to a standstill by the snow then having to walk from Denmark Hill to Forest Hill as the trains and buses couldn't cope. Now that's my benchmark of a good spell. Bring it on February!

    Seems to be raining at work here in Bermondsey.

    Desperately disappointing to see a lot of posters caught by the (inevitable) post-snow depression that occurs after a good old dumping and before a return to zonality. I share your pain, but think we all need to lose whichever attachment we have to whatever set-up lights our meteorological candle and try and focus as dispassionately on the models in front of us as hard as that is. The see-sawing that will surely take place with the models over the next two weeks or so should be hugely interesting - the jigsaw pieces each shifting around run by run - and especially when the pros hint that real winter still lies ahead. Let's try and enjoy the ride even if it ultimately doesn't give us all what we'd like to see.

    Lovely wintery scene out there today: cold, grey, snow cover and freezing fog. Never a fan of those sunny days that follow snow. All a bit too springlike for me. Wouldn't mind a milder (sorry, less cold) blip if only to enable us all to throttle back on the heating. These cold spells, great as they are, cost us a fortune.

    Talk of a reload after this weekends less cold spell with a Greenland High acting as the block allowing NE/E'ly winds, which is always a good direction for you Kent folks. So, what we've just had being the precursor to the main event, possibly...
  13. Mac_SE
    Snow Depth Cup 10,2cm to be precise. And you Snow Monkey?
  14. Mac_SE
    What's the radar saying for SE London? Wouldn't mind some of those 50p flakes veering this way.
  15. Mac_SE
    Lovely even 10cm here. Still going strong(ish).
  16. Mac_SE
    Diagonal dandruff here. Bit more intentional now.
  17. Mac_SE
    Snow Depth Cup: half-time: Forest Hill 2cm...
  18. Mac_SE
    Time for your pills AF...
  19. Mac_SE
    Good to see you've been taking your positive tablets AF!
  20. Mac_SE
    At work in Bermondsey - about 4cm, usually the further west you go there's more esp. Croydon etc. I'd say we had more on that Sat in Dec '10 from an hours or so hard snow than we have today.
  21. Mac_SE
    To all those without snow, to be fair, you guys have the lions share with easterlies and north easterlies. Have woken up on numerous times to a dusting when you guys are shovelling your way out of a good dumping.
  22. Mac_SE
    Heaviest it's been all day at work in Bermondsey; decent 20p flakes, driven on by that stiff SE'ly, not quite sure what that is on the Murr Scale...
  23. Mac_SE
    9am Monday - daylight would seem the better time to get it down to the precise mm!
  24. Mac_SE
    'worst'? Don't you mean 'best'?
  25. Mac_SE
    Think you might have been using the ol' ramp ruler...!
