South East & East Anglia Regional Discussion ~ December 7th 2012>

Nearly time for the 12z lets hope things look good for the east/south east

Yes Im praying that the 12z shows a more easterly or even N'easterly which means better chance for snow.

The last two GFS runs show a N'N'easterly which usually just means NE England get the ppn.

Hoping for a bit more in the way of snow coming inland as we have had none so far. Cold with rain usual weather in this location.

I wonder if the Samaritans help line has a special group of people who solely deal with depressed weather model watchers?

Just been listening to LBC in the car, and it mentioned 'The Beast from the East' and lots of snow from Monday onwards.

Blimey, it's getting about......

Please update your location with little clacton when you get a chance then.

Anyway, moving on.....................................................

All as before at t+69, if not an upgrade, snow showers into EA and -6 to -7c uppers during that time.

At 78hrs the 12z gives us a more north easterly flow instead if a north N'easterly. This is exactly what we want for our region to help showers penetrate inland. I'm not looking any further than that.

[Coast]

I'm not looking any further than that.

I'm not looking any further than the bottles in my drink-store tonight, cheers everyone and good luck for next week!

[Met4Cast]

Local radio just said, and I quote

"Turning much colder next week with lots of snow from Monday onwards"

Thereafter the pressure starts to build for a while, whilst the precipitation might dry up, it will become perishingly cold, so you have been warned, all.

Upgrade cold, downgrade snow, but only at this stage and things could change.

[legrandefromage]

I think the only snow we'll get here is the stuff on the Christmas cards that keep turning up.
