Great fax to

[kold weather]

The fax charts certainly are suggestive of a snow event in the SE, slight risk it may be too far south on that fax chart but its certainly interesting, and it does agree with the 18z GFS as well....certainly interesting times, no doubt it'll arrive just as I leave and head back to the south coast again!

Well worth watching.

Yes is goood to see the meto and GFS roughly agreeing, im sure every run will have these snow events further south or north.

missed us on the 12z perfect for imby on the 18z.

no doubt at t+6 it will be up in the midlands with rain for the s.e

[snowydayz]

I LOVE it!!!!! Oh PLEEEEZE lets have one more blast before this fantastic winter is over!

Just checked out the temperatures for my area for the next week, -11 wind chill for Tuesday Ooooo what fun Where's my ski suit

[john pike]

18z looks good for a few days

from what i can see from fri 19th East areas may get some light snow

in the evening.Sunday 21st South East should see light snow showers.

Monday 22nd shows a Channel low which might give some heavier snow for

a time which should be around until Tuesday morning.

This could all change by the morning.

The only concern is that the 18z is showing the jet come to life around

the 28th although this is a long way off.

This is my first attempt at this so lets see what happens

lets hope i am not doing this later.

cold out there, down to -3.1. very still with freezing fog.

[Shutterbug Netty]

If only you could pick the weather forecast you wanted!

Metcheck has me down for almost 24 cm of snow in 12 hours for the 26th February

Yes please!! :lol:

[Weathizard]

Channel low for Monday?

[slb97]

Channel low would be good but positioning is crucial! If it's too far north we get the rain with the midlands getting loads of snow and too far south France will cop it! Will it? Won't it? I might just turn the PC off, not watch the weather and see what happens on the day lol!

[snowydayz]

That's no fun SLB97, just enjoy the ramping!!!!

Not forecast for my area to be minus last night but it was freezing with another thick frost on the car this morning.

off to have a look at this mornings charts

[Weathizard]

Hi guys,its grey and chucking it down with rain here in brighton

Rain rain go away come again another day (or never if possible...)

[Guest archiesmummy]

very icy rain here, temp is 1.7 and dp is 0.7

[slb97]

Raining here too despite it feeling chilly outside - just seen a great vid that someone posted on the southwest thread of huge flakes of snow!

[Weathizard]

The guys on the model thread think much milder in the south next week...another disappointment?

Not neccessarily at all

At least any attempted milder incursion from the south west (if it occurs at all) looks short lived as far as I can see.

Hello All

Looks like London might be chasing the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow again... still hopeful of a snow event soon !

Can anyone help me with a question ?

I notice that the precipitation type on the NW radar is slightly different when looking at UK vs Euro (ie. Euro shows snow often where UK shows rain or sleet) and was wondering which one is more accurate ?

[ZONE 51]

hi all! for most its rain today (out of warning/advisory areas) but as temp and dew points fall overnight tonight and the low moves away we may just have some ppn around to fall as snow (mostly n-of-london/east anglia would get this snow anyway) but to the south and se of london less ppn alltho this may change so we may see some snow towards early hrs/morning .

for today its becoming increasingly unstable air towards evening ,and theres quite a risk of thunder and hail as downpours develop there could be some unexpected weather for some .

and friday we may see some snow shrs, the dew points should be below oc

next monday looks very interesting for a big SE snowfall as long as the lows track is were snow lovers want it!

That warning is clearly for areas to the NW of London. Wales, the Midlands and northern England look like getting hit again.

[kold weather]

I would not even bother looking that far out at the moment, the models are relaly all over the place, FI is probably within 72hrs right now looking at the small but huge differences to our weather on the models.

On the 06z the far SE does become much milder (10-12C!) BUT within 100 miles the temps are 0-2C so clearly any small shift is going to have a huge difference.

Firstly we have Saturdays event, and only a tiny shift would bring the London area into play looking at the 06z GFS so well worth watching IMO firstly...

Danm, i don't know about you but it feels like London has missed out on everything recently. Its starting to remind me of winters before feb 2009! Hopefully we can grap a snowfall before the end of the winter.

What a surprise.
