Hot*Snow

I am with you here stratos. I have been here 2 days now and have noticed how quickly people do get carried away with things. As an experienced forecaster I have seen these situations arise so many times and nothing come avail. It is always important to remain cautious. I would love it to snow, but I wont be getting excited until a couple of hours before the event starts and I can see the ppn on the radar. As far as the even larger teapot is concerned - well yes there is evidence to suggest this. It is not a silly pessemistic term that someone has made up. Winters are'nt as cold as they used to be, and we dont get as much snow as we used too. Oh yeah and Britain is'nt a great place for snow anyway (unless you live in the Scottish mountains) and thats why it generates so much interest and thats why it causes so much chaos. I am not anti-snow. I hope we get loads of the stuff but its important not to get carried away and people should be realistic in their expectations. Here's tosome good fun over the next few days.

One of the biggest snowfall events in the UK and your banging on about the east!

Lancashire, north west England so not expecting much. But certainly dont begrudge those who do get some!

As things stand at the moment I think Leicestershire should do good out of this. You say you hav'nt ha a decent snow event for 3 years? This suprises me. I hope it comes your way anyway.

I voted England obviously. But also parts of Scotland may get a battering. The basic principle of an easterly is the further west the less chance of seeing significant snow (except for once in a blue moon events.)
