[Lancashire Lass]

Cheers Kold.

[Stratocumulus perlucidus]

What is t500

[NickyB]

Does anyone else have the feeling that we're going to miss out on the storm later this week? What with France being on alert and the met office hedging their bets I can't see us getting so much as a sniff of a gale :-(

[Backtrack]

Very high winds here, frequently gusting into the 40's, even had a gust of 50mph.

Temperature is 5.2C and it feels bitter under clear skies. Had 0.0mm rain today. No precip what so ever. Damn.

Dewpoint is -1.2C.

Nope not at all just trying to help out around the place as things are pretty busy.

Aye, almost 800 members online. You think it's busy now, just wait till it starts to snow.

4.9C here, going up slowly but should fall sharply later on as the winds ease.

DP is -1.2C, falling sharply, we also have a sub-zero wind chill.

[SnowObsessor90]

Sometimes I absolutely hate model watching and wonder why I even bother with it as all it seems to lead to is frustration but at the same time I just cannot keep away for some reason.

Manchester airport TAF going for snow showers later tomorrow

Winds have already peaked.

NAE has been performing VERY badly this month.

Is that usually a reliable forecast or not because i cant see it happening, best chance was the last 12 hours IMO.

Compared to what the NMM?

I really cannot decide whether this model is any good or not, its either bang on the money or way out, there doesnt seem to be any inbetween which i guess answers my own question with a firm NO, anyone else got any views and also as a matter of interest, how good is the NMM and is subscribing to Netweather the only way you can get it?

[I Cumbria Marra I]

The power's been off in Egremont for a couple of hours and its just came back on now!

[SP1986]

Had a rain shower before so snow is unlikely near the coast.

[SnowObsessor90]

Get lost weather!

I'm sorry but there's no other real words to describe how I feel right now.
