Temp has dropped 1c to 1.7c now in the space of 45 minutes, dewpoint also slowly falling sitting at 0.7c now. A sign of the colder air coming in ?

Radar wise, I'm watching the PPN travelling down E Wales, seems to be intensifying and very slowly filling in the gap between the two bands? Maybe it's just me looking at it wrong..

Hmm - that explains why the sky just to the north of here suddenly has an orange glow

Ok I am tired of all of this negativity, can you can either sit here and whine, wring your hands and boo hoo or you check out the latest charts, go to your sheds, get out your sledges and snow boots in preparation and then come back online. :D

why?

Because there was a big southerly jump in snow echos, and no matter what anyone else says the precip is starting to build further west ( from central England)

it has though.. you put your postcode in the postcode thing downgraded for me.

The postcode thing on the Met site is tosh. Dont bother using it - I dont know why they keep it on there. Read the weather warnings instead, and use the High Res NAE model to get the most up to date prediction of what will happen. Even then it is apt to get thngs off target, but it is nevertheless the best tool we have.

Borderline event whatever the Met warning says. We need the front to slow down for sure - if it fires through at speed then little will stick even if it falls as snow. My gut feeling is that the precipiation has arrived rather on the early side and that this is not good news for snow lovers. We will see.

Anyone know when the 1800 NAE is out ?

Yes - a key tool. From memory some time in the next 30 mins...

NAE is rolling out now...

Not good for the SW - ie Somerset and SW of there. The precipitation has dived south earlier than predicted, and it will not turn to snow much further west than Yeovil from the looks of it. Very annoying to have a last minute downgrade - the 06z run was really good. :-(

So i'll post what he's said shall I?

"New UKMO model output has snow mostly Bath eastwards - E Glos and Wilts focal point."

As if we didn't know already.
