-7 with wind chill I'm in heaven!!!!!!!!!!

sounds good,, and i've also saved the radar websites you posted in model thread= all ready for sunday now hopefully

[Ripeberry]

Is this Easterly going to last all week or is it just a 2 day cold snap? I want to use my sledge in the Cotswolds before it all gets washed away by rain

[V for Very Cold]

well this area has just seen a significant upgrade and the "milder" spell isn't as mild as it was, so here's crossing my fingers for that trend to continue and we see a week and more of proper old school winter weather

[moogyboobles]

I got a letter from the school today saying in light of the weather forecast for next week please check radio/website to see if we are closed.

Ramped me right up that did!

So, is my trip from Bridgend at 4:30 am on Monday to London returning mid afternoon a bad idea then?

After all this i really hope we do get some snow.

Richard Angwin, BBC Points West forecaster, 18.54 today, 80% certain we will get snow Monday into Tuesday, wouldn't be drawn on how much at this stage.

Thought I should re-post my thoughts here too...

We are now on the verge of some of the biggest snowfalls seen in the UK in the last 20 years IMO. Over ramping? I don't think so.

Eastern areas Sunday into Monday could see falls in excess of 10-20cm's, even to lower levels... and if things remain on the right side of marginal overnight monday into tuesday morning these amounts could be exceeded.. especially over high ground and not to mention drifts in a strong Easterly wind!

If thats not enough for you, things starting to come together now and it seems we will experiance a reload with a NE'ly! Hold tight and keep your fingers crossed folks... we are so close to the biggest widespread winter spell since the internet began...

And this is the text on the BBC Weather website for Monday ...

Monday

Western Scotland and western Northern Ireland may stay dry. Other areas will be cloudy with snow, which may be heavy and disruptive, particularly in the east. Feeling bitterly cold in strong easterly winds.

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

[Optimus Prime]

Some of that deep cold is going to get dragged in towards the UK. But the real cold stuff doesn't make it.
