Snow & Cold Spell General Discussion Part 6

[shrike]

What a bizarre night! Shuffled off to bed around 2.15am with the sound of rain falling, got up just now as I could hear one of the dogs shuffling and a beautiful scene outside with a blanket of snow, all I need now is for santa to arrive!

And then we have a return of the Atlantic. The BBC forecaster said there wont be a reload of the cold till the middle of March.

Which BBC forecaster said that?

oooo....we have some light snow here now

[Altostratus]

Nice thin covering here. Things looked good when I went to bed at 1.30am so I decided to set my alarm for 4am – glad I did now! May upload a few pics later.

I really want the stall now, because im getting a leedle bit close to the back edge of my very productive band of snow. Still lots pouring down right now though.

Happy now my friend........

I am rather glad the sweet spot was Oxford........

Lets hope it stalls about now...........

Whoever said that is seriously p*ssing me off now.

We are in a very complex and uncertain situation at the moment with the modelling of the jet and the tropospheric PV. A small oscillation of the jet axis either way or movement of the polar-air mass eastward\westward could make or break our chances for Feb.

[Snow Queen one]

whats the chance of some convective showers forming when the sun comes up?

[grab my graupel]

They don't know that yet. Too much uncertainty. UKMO shows pressure building to our north significantly on the 10th of Feb.

Yeh, that's what I thought P.P. I thought at the time they were being a bit presumptious with that statement. I thought things were looking quite promising for the second half of Feb.

Snowin quite nicely here in Flintshire (North east wales) started about 15mins ago, and already the place is turning white.

Don't send out anymore jiffy bags now, you promise me...

[*AL*]

Well it's here! Got up at 04.00am and everything is white and the snow is still quite heavy, my kids are going to love it!!

The journey to work will be interesting...........luckily i'm only half a mile from the busy dual carriageway i need for work, fingers crossed.

[PersianPaladin]

Don't send out anymore jiffy bags now, you promise me...

I work for the central government part-time....so I'm front-line.

[senior ridge]

Meteox and the Met Office show a pulse of very heavy snow/rain heading along N France

The perfect cover!

[markp1980]

Well all the wait is finally producing snow! and lots of it.

I guess everyone is watching the reds on the radar, but looks like they are too far east for me here in surrey!

Whoever gets that is going to get a total pasting!

moderate snow,started about 4 am. i do hope it does indeed stall steve.

[SMU]

Meto radar is now out for 430 & shows theres plenty of life to the SW of the London still- with some Green echoes appearing once again....

Looks like it could snow for a while yet-

Approaching the inch mark...........

[SP1986]

currently snowing here, very slight at the moment but itll pick up soon seems to be melting as it hits ground which is odd as the ground is below freezing

edit: actually it is settling, its a combination of the low light ans the fact the flakes are tiny at the moment

[cycloneuk]

Snowing Light/Moderate here and sticking now.

Rob Mc thingy,

They were discussing this winter, and how the second half is going as expected regarding the cold, he then went on to say we would see a return to milder conditions next week, but

won't see any wintery conditions until the middle of March.

Ha! Another Putneyite.....yup, I've got a bit under 2cm here, and it's still falling steadily, if not very heavily. Temp has dropped back to freezing, too, and it's settling now on the pavements and even the gritted road.

TRAITOR!!!! TRAITOR!!!

HE HAS TURNED TO THE MILD SIDE! FOR THIS....HE MUST DIE!

[adiabatic lapse of memory]

Morning all.

Looking good on the N Downs-continuous moderate snow as they say in the Met O, code 73 if I recall correctly. Not going out there in my night attire but looks like about 3 cms. Kids have got a conditional day off school today; conditional on if it snows! Wonder if they will choose to go?
