[NO LONGER POSTING]

I think the ground will be cold enough for the snow to settle as tonight and tomorrow night we are due a frost of course it's not all down to that..But ground temps should be slowly decreasing now..

Just a quickie - Dont feed the trolls and they will quickly find other places to Inhabit!

Thinon all I have seen is posts from you trying to get a reaction, thankfully nobody is biting.........yet.

Can you please explain to us meteorologically speaking why you think it will be all sleet ?? I would like you to tell us why the evaporative cooling process will not occur overnight into Sunday morning.

I await your response and some charts to back up your way of thinking please!

As has been said earlier, interesting that the Met Office 15 day is more bullish in terms of cold and snow potential throughout next week. I may be wrong but I'm sure this was only updated a short while ago which suggests they're becoming more confident in the ECM/UKMO solutions. Still plenty of time for a backtrack though!

[Eye of the Storm]

Looking forward to Sunday when the winds veer more easterly/north easterly should blow snow showers ashore in eastern coastal districts!

[Azores Hi]

Whatever happens on the 12z with regards to next week it will be apt to start looking at some serious details for this weekend shortly. Seems like a long, long wait we've all had to get to that point but at long last it is nearly here!

Hooray!

[abruzzi spur]

This whole waiting game is:

TOO TENSE!

How are we looking this afternoon then? Still on for the weekend I hope.

It is a bit chilly here today and we had a lovely frost this morning. Which is more like it, now it feels like Winter.

Looking forward to updates on the trends and to posts from Coast, John and Ben as the day progresses.

[yamkin]

MetO's latest bulletin to Croydon Council is to expect potential snow during Saturday/Sunday and possibly into next week

[Sussex Jules]

Jeez it's taken ages to catch up on everything today. You finish reading MAD thread then catch up on here then by the time you go back to MAD thread there are another 10 pages to read through. How can I put someone on ignore?

Hello Chilly, much more seasonal I agree. Like you, keeping a very close eye on the technical and knowledgeable posts on here, and also those from Coast!! (That's me banned......)

Are you questioning my meteorological credentials? Tut tut. We'll definitely be returning to this soon enough.

'Troll' is a bit harsh for someone with 102 posts in 8 years but thanks for the feed anyway.

Yes you go Yamkin

[stun12]

It wouldn't be snowy time without Yamkin . 5c here after a low of 3c overnight. A work colleague just north of Brighton says it feels much colder down there - anyone from that neck of the woods?

Just a very very good memory

Would love some charts from you though, 850's etc, surely not a lot to ask if you are that good at Meteorology to back up these doom and gloom posts.

We have our eyes and ears on you matey! Like we did a few years ago!

Please don't bring the model thread into this thread. We are all one very happy family in this thread. And Alison, Paul and every other forum mod put a lot of time and effort clearing the crap out of the model thread we don't want that here.

Chins up. Look to the sky and wait it out. We will get snow this winter (eventually)

I am currently and it is a bit cooler here as expected. I don't think the cold coming in is an issue, it's where that pesky snow lands that's still open to question!

[Paul Sherman]

Everything will be fine

Rain on Saturday, turning to Sleet and then a period of Snow into Sunday!

Even Thinon agrees with this surely ??

[Jan_Bromley]

Ian Fergusson â€@fergieweather

Forecast outlook frm @metoffice leans to continued colder outcome nxt week, with lots of uncertainty on attendant snow threat & distribution

Meto website have no snow symbols for my area - Epping Essex for Saturday now, this morning showed light snow for Saturday now it shows light rain.

Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but the current Meto Snow warnings are for Wales and SW midlands and not us.

I can't access and charts at the moment but how is the PPN looking for our region Saturday?

Well here in Tonbridge we got up to 4.6C and now dropping again

To a limited extent

All to play for this weekend!

Would be good if the first Under 10s winter net practice on Sunday coincided with falling snow - cricket inside, snow outside, then home to a roaring fire and a glass or 2 of something suitably warming (and I don't mean Lemsip!)
