Can you lot slow down, this thread is truly hard to keep up with.

I need some sleep right now but will return tomorrow, most probably in anticipation of some further..................

Action, Beauty, Coldness, Drama, Entertainment, Frustration, Giggles, Hail, Ice days, Jumping around, Killer cold, Lunacy, Mediation, NMM output, Observations, Precipitation charts, Quick wit, Rain, Snow, T850s, Understatement, Violence, Wind, X-rated charts, Yummy mummies and once all is said and done and I've read and re-read the 500 regional posts, a chance to catch up on some Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzs.

Please behave in the meanwhile and I bid you night night my lovelies.

We know come the day we can see corrections / distribution of ppn pushed north, east south and west by up to 100 miles but the current 18z and some of the recent ECM runs have some serious snow potential!

[katemart]

MOD thread very excited about the next 7-10 days. I shall be stocking up on basic supplies tomorrow in readiness for Snowmageddon. It won't happen but our supply systems don't have the resilience to cope with anything out of the ordinary, these days.

I am trying not to be a lamppost watcher this year

Abbeymead - Gloucester

A high aim, I think..........

.........and probably doomed to failure!

Let us know how long you last.

[Cleeve Hill]

Apart from Lynux are there any other Gloucester folk on here, so I can keep a look out for your nowcast posts!

I am trying not to be a lamppost watcher this year, let's see if I succeed or bow to the excitement!!

Thanks

My name gives the location away. Looking at the charts think I should be hiring out skis and sledges come next weekend. Bring it on !

[cerneman]

This could be start of our first cold spell of this winter and our region in immediate firing line, though marginal for most of us,,The winters in past sat twiddling thumbs just waiting for mention of snow down here been frustrating, Just enjoy the start of what might be first of number cold spells,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[TwisterGirl81]

Well Thursday looks like it's going to be a very snowy west! If the models are true the east and southeast will be covered!

[noggin]

I'm off to stock up tomorrow. Sounds silly, but you never know what will happen. I'm going to be so excited the next few days. You wouldn't believe that I'm in my 30's!

Pssst.......if you are a snow lover, you never grow out of it. Take it from one who knows.........
