Well this morning I had a feeling the 06Z GFS was onto something. Looking at the sat/radar and im 100% convinced the heavy band of snow will hit Sussex into London. This will then move N (uncertain how much) during the night and affect Herts, Beds, Bucks then into parts of the E Midlands i,e Northants.

Now whilst all of this is going on a another band of snow will be moving S from the N Sea and will affect Cambs, Norfolk during the night. These two bands of snow are likely to merge before moving S to affect the rest of the region. I can see snow being persistant for much of this region for tomorrow.

any idear of how much snow sussex may get is it more than what the meto predict?

Do you think it is more likely to be rain on the Sussex coast though ? I note that it is raining in the Portsmouth / Southampton area

From the forecast I have just seen on N24 it does'nt look like us in the extreme SE will get much.

They haven't used the latest nae or model data , wait till the next forecast or at best 6.25+

Still fully expecting quite a big area to average out between 10-20cms...the NAE isn't quite so keen on those huge 40cms totals simply because its a bit better in terms of movement of the front northwards, its actually something of an upgrade for our region...share the wealth so to speak...

I'm still willing to bet quite a few places get big falls...

Hi Kold How is this likely to compare with Feb last year? We got around 4 inches (poss more) out of that one...

Depends on how heavy the precip is, it is going to be somewhat marginal though because you've got a hefty onshore flow which is going to make everything that bit more marginal from the looks of things.

I don't think anyone in this area was going to get 40cm anyway, but I think I might be able to get a good 20cm from this! plus with a top up from Friday who knows! drinks.gif

its a nightmare lol every N24 forecast is changing by the hour

And that's why it's no use asking 'will it snow in?' or 'how much will I get?'

THE FORECAST AND THE WEATHER ARE CHANGING AS WE WRITE

When we all wake up tomorrow morning 90% of us will be very happy bunnies, the other 10% will be bus or train drivers!

Evening everyone,

The rain in Portsmouth is turning a bit sleety but not sure how long that will last, nice to see anything remotely white in Portsmouth, even the frost!

May look a bit of an overstatement now given the recent downgrades on amounts...I suppose at time of print they were going with what they had. oops.gif
