Ian F just posted in South West thread; hope this adds to the debate on here:

"Quick note - some 'interest value' snow expected tonight; generally light accumulations; effectively from Wash across to Glos most prone but also some chance to N/S of this line; 0 - 4 cm in this swathe but highly variable.

Quick note 2: Baroclinic feature slipping southwards to possible bring snow for parts of our (eastern, generally) region Thurs into Fri.

Quick note 3: Main focus for any snow (daytime partial or whole thaw must be stressed) - next weekend; troughs (some quite broadly across southern UK) moving south as the anticipated genesis for this potential.

I do stress most snow potential this period is primarily for the E/SE and then transferring northwards in the latter stages of 6-15 day period. Kent could see some interesting totals due to convergence effects.

Can't current expand on the detail - if I get time tomorrow after work, I will.

Cheers

Ian "

:D

Just went to put the bin out for the noisey buggers in the morning (06:00 collection, dont they realise some of us dont need to be up for work until 07:00) and its still a sleety mix of drizzly type percip out.

Nothing settling just a damp floor.

Temp now +3c

Just experienced a very heavy fine hail/sleet shower that lasted for a good few minutes, this following on from rainy/sleety showers on and off throughout the evening, bodes well for tomorrow/Tuesday when the colder, less marginal air starts to move in.

To add to that: Looks like some pretty nice showers developing off the North-Sea from the NE/ENE, convective potential certainly + increased stability as colder uppers come in from the East... Good signs for some decent snow showers for the early part of this week IMO.

hi everyone long time lurker...

Really hoping for some snow, just took dog out for a walk and it certainly feels a lot colder than the last few nights.

Only thing is I have a flight to catch this Sunday... surely going to miss out!

welcome to NW msx. looks like you will be missing out unless your flight is to the East coast USA

although i stand by my feelings that London will just see showers this week, and if all goes to plan week starting 14th may see better chances. :)

Had rain here earlier tonight, temps very slow to fall <_< still 3.3C. Going North to Arundel tomorrow :rofl: Perhaps a few miles north of the coast will be more likely to get the odd snow shower? Almost certainly wishful thinking. :nea:

Just a wintry mix for tonight/tomorrow - any snow not amounting to anything except perhaps a little dusting on higher ground.

Proper chances of snow get better later in the weeksmile.gif

Make you right there!

Hope your shift pattern works out so the snow comes when your off, seems like the latter part of the week and into the next will be the disruptive stuff.

Got my daughter visiting from Canada on the 18th, would be ironic if UK snow affected her flght :rofl:
