Cold Spell Discussion 5

[Wynn D Woo]

My forecast is almost 100% for every day this week. if you type in mendip hills you can see.

I just don't think the local forecast is very accurate at the moment? I cannot see ppn making it to the west country.

Dare i say it but metchecks local forecast looks nearer mark this time with chance of odd flurry but nearly dry cold patchy cloud forecast for next 2 weeks.

No the flow looks too slack imo to reach here and Im sure the Cotswolds will suck any remnants out of the showers in any case.

I think there is a decent chance where I am although I am not very high above sea level (about 22m) so it may be more marginal. Can I have some other thoughts please?

[MR EXTREMES]

well here we get nothing i expect this crap cold spell to be gone by the end of next week.

im very Swearing AGAIN*d off.

it aint a special event unless the whole country gets some.

fedup with telling the kids there maybe some snow next week i dunno why i waist my breath,

[phil nw.]

Snow chances in Leicestershire on Netweather's forecast is 92-95% throughout most of next week , dam line around 520 for most of the week as well. That says to me any showers will be of snow after Monday no matter what .

Hi Chris,

Here in Nuneaton i rarely get snow showers off the N.Sea in an Easterly unless it`s from an imbeded trough in the flow.

You are probably 25 miles or so further East so i guess that makes a difference sometimes.

I hope we get some troughs bringing the colder air behind and then maybe later some other minor disturbances as the cold air gets established.

By the look of those uppers from mid week it`s going to be really bitter though.

[dogs32]

also at present its only for light snow

well here anyway

Be more of the drifting kind over in the East I would of thought

will the East be digging themselves out this week

[snow raven]

mine is 85% from Tuesday midday onwards. As if.

Bexleyheath is down for between 92% - 95% Monday night and all day Tuesday. Bring it on!

hi WhiteXmas there is still a chance there is only around 8 miles between us i think 50-50 chance we just need to hope that this easterly is strong enough

i hope i said that the right way? but interesting times ahead

Hi g-g well I would say you have a better chance with it being a lot higher up where you are.

I'd certainly hope that, after meandering its way all the way to Glasgow, it could traverse another eight miles to Paisley???

[glasgow-guy]

Hi g-g well I would say you have a better chance with it being a lot higher up where you are.

it could go either way for me as i am right under east Kilbride

1. i am too low and would get a few flakes

2. i would get drifting snow flowing down to me

50-50 chance for me also it will be a nervous wait

[WhiteXmas]

Me too!

Yes I think Hinckley is about the extent of most showers. I live in Narborough and showers here tend to chain together and kind of stay over us and move very little , they kind of snow them self out. Still if we do get what I am expecting it's only 2 stops on the train to Narborough and we got some good pubs and restaurants in the village

[Mondy]

So, it's not climbed above 2c here today, with frost, ice and freezing fog after 8am this morning. This "cold spell" gonna see me have temps below 2c after 1pm, like today? Has happened here regularly recently - cold pocket of the UK is central region. Two -7's already this past month. Will -7 be beaten soon ?

WEATHER: BRITAIN SET FOR ICY BLAST

The Met Office warned that temperatures could drop overnight to as low as -7C in parts of northern England and central Scotland.

And independent forecaster Jonathan Powell of Positive Weather Solutions said that the prospects of a white Christmas are “looking favourable”.

But Mr Powell, who bases his forecasts on matching historic and current weather patterns, said: “The chances of some parts of the UK seeing a white Christmas are beginning to look favourable, as a cold pool of Arctic air pushes down the country, introducing some sustained chilly and frosty weather.

If the GFS run came of it would give some serious snowfall from about Birmingham north wards.

But last night the Met Office was refusing to commit itself to forecasts of a white Christmas after taking flak over its disastrous prediction of a “barbecue summer.”

You have to love the fact that no weather expert would do such a thing!

[maidstone weather]

He said that continental Europe will experience it's first severe cold spell of the season, and 'he' will need to keep an eye as to if and when it might affect our weather.

[dogs32]
