the storm hadon'ten modelled to go a tad more left of the uk than initially thought, but I don't think the exact details are in yet and it won't be nailed until within 12 hours or so or possibly on the event itself - storm Emma could kick us really hard - digging out for days afterwards
Exciting times. Thanks Andy for the Reply.

Have posted it Andy. Can I ask that what would need to change for Ireland not to get the blizzards (as they are predicted to get the worse of it) for us then to be maybe getting what they are forcast too? A few days ago I thought we were meant to get the most and then vaguely remember that it changed. Only asking as their forecast uses the word "blizzard" but ours says snow and wind. Thanks.

What a brilliant post Dave. Thank you for all the effort and time and hard work it must have taken. Much appreciated.

I fancy a good moan. Not saw one flake of snow this year in South East Wales where I live and only a couple of flakes the last few winters. I seriously got hooked,line and sinkered into thinking it would be winter/spring wonderland and now have (by the looks of it) freezing rain to look forward too. Horrible/dangerous useless stuff. Oh and also I look a right plonker again warning all my colleagues/friends/family and making them all stock pile on supplies. Lol oh well, hope we have a great spring.
-
God I can't keep up. Now in south east wales mainly freezing rain (that stuff is lethal, horrible, dangerous and absolutely no fun. Bring on the spring.

Well earlier I was down for snow on metoffice for Tuesday, Wed, Thurs and Friday. Just looked and now only for Thursday. typical.
-
Well for something so big and dangerous, not one mention of it on the news tonight? Don't get it. Surely if it was really going to be so much disruption or risk they would be mentioning things by now?

wow, Jethro, that poem is amazing.

I have to admit to being ever so excited. I remember the 1978 (I believe) blizzards in Hanham where I grew up, I was 10 years old and it was so utterly amazing amd magical. Thats where I got my love of snow from. We had to get neighbours digging each other out of their doors it was incredible and no matter if it was not as bad this time (not that I expect anywhere near that) but too have a little reminder of the power of nature would be amazing.

Sorry ot was underlined, I think I pressed the wrong key.
-
well I have been wondering why the news etc have not been on board in warning people over this spell, maybe they have had more of a idea that it would not be as severe as we think it to be? hope not :-(
-
Lol Andymusic, love that you are still as enthusiastic as always.... keep up the fab work.
-
Good luck to us all who want the snow. Fingers crossed we all get some.

Chief Forecaster's assessment
A weather system moving east across southern England is likely to bring a mix of heavy rain and snow. 15-25 mm of rain is likely quite widely within the warning area with some places receiving 30-40 mm. As the rain becomes increasingly heavy, it is likely to turn to snow in places, initially over parts of Wales and perhaps the Peak District then over central England in the early hours of Wednesday. Snow may fall to increasingly low levels, giving a cm or two in places. with 2-5 cm accumulating locally above 100 m, and perhaps 10 cm in a few places. These larger amounts are more likely over Wales whilst East Anglia and Lincolnshire see little or no snow. There is low confidence in the balance between rain and snow with marked variations likely from place to place in the amounts of any snow

It is all so confuzzeling.... one minute in south west thread the champagne was on ice and i was getting hopeful and excited and next time I looked, champagne was put back in the cupboard and it is very deflating. Just going to look out the window tomorrow and see what falls from the sky. Good luck to everyone though who wants the snow.

Will it depend on elevation again Andy?

We in Wales and the Southwest tend to be the forgotten ones when it comes to discussion of snow potential in the MOD thread. I would definitely be in support of merging the Wales and SW&CS England threads - it's the best part of England, after all! - so that we can all band together. I can see the North Devon coast if I walk to the top of one of the nearby hills and my family is descended from Somersetters who moved here during the industrial revolution, so we even have personal connections to the West Country in South Wales.
I expect there'd be opposition to my merging idea from both Southwesterners and the Welsh though!
Totally agree. I am a Bristolian living just over the severn bridge in Magor and I would love the merging idea as well. ;-) Fingers crossed we will all get lucky (if it is snow you like) at least sometime this winter.

Wales/Cymru Regional Weather Discussion

is anyone else getting nervous about the upcoming spell? I think because the met are so not sure about it, I feel really nervous it isn't going to happen. Summer Sun said the Icon has moved back to yesterday, bringing in the milder air quicker. gosh this is nerve wrecking.
