From Sunday the -5ºc isotherm doesn't leave the SE until the low res part of the run

A lot of these charts I keep viewing seem to show Norfolk missing out on the snow for the most part...am I reading them right or am i just destined to miss the snow?

Peter Cockcroft "On Saturday we could see some rain and we could see some snow"

Not quite nailing the sail to the mask. He does mention snow possibly more frequent on Sunday, mostly to the North and East of London

Oh aye, par for the course! Couple of years ago we were the only green bit in a country blanketed by snow. The satellite picture was amazing to see.

Anyway tonight we have 1c and rain in Norwich.... will be interesting if it freezes later.

Looking at the charts/models/TV forecasts/twitter and NW posts I can't help but get the idea that if this cold and snow does verify next week the SE and EA look to receive the lower PPN amounts.

Anyone agree or is it just me panicking?

GFS appears to be an upgrade. JP & I knew GFS had to come on board sometime today.

Here's a few snowy outcomes this weekend in parts of the SE

Amazing charts to dream about and then this,

FI But you just have to laugh....

Panicking ;-)

Snow can't be reliably or accurately predicted more then a few hours out usually so don't get yourself worked up for next week just yet ;-)

[TheToastPeople]

Is that freezing rain on the NW radar correct!??

Se/ea will get the most out of this setup!

Expect central London to shut down Wednesday !

Looks okay to me

I wouldn't worry, we'll see a few surprises popping up I'm sure, lets get Saturday out the way before worrying about snow next week

http://www.netweather.tv/index.cgi?action=snow;sess= tue15th 06:00 is there a geographical reason we keep seeing this circle over central Norfolk?

[blackprince]

Gritters going up and down whitstable high street havent seen that for quite a while..... And the smaller sideroads..... Must know something we dont..... Or lots of salt in council coffers.....

Its ok its only crushed oyster shells being born and bred in Whitstable I know!!!!lol

At the moment, we just require the general trend of cold to continue. There is, as others have said, no point worrying about where the PPN will fall, and how much... Snow is ridiculously difficult to forecast at even less than 5 hours out, as we have seen with snow fall in the past, so you can imagine that at the moment, these PPN charts mean nothing.

As long as the trend with the models continues, there is no need to panic over snow fall yet.

ppn in east anglia - surely falling as sleet / snow?

[john pike]

fax charts

tomorrow

occasional showers some heavy

southerly wind feeling cold 5-6 degrees

tomorrow night

occasional rain some heavy again

breezy southerly flow

528 dam air over yarmouth

saturday is such a mess

low pressure moves in on a south east-east direction

a weather front moves in from the north east with the cold air

as front heads over us and the low passes it will turn rain to snow

higher snow risk norfolk earlier rest late pm

very cold pm around 1-2 degrees

saturday night

COLD easterly wind

straddled front over the south east

snowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww but not too heavy

[Captain Shortwave]

Excellent run by the gfs, finally I feel we are on the final stretch now, just give it a few more runs and of course to see if any interesting weather appears towards the end of next week (big snowfalls). Don't worry about precipitation at the moment, get the cold in and hopefully start developing heights to the north and let everything unfold

[john pike]

sunday

sunday

bitter east-north easterly wind

temps around freezing

now there is a trough over yarmouth so expect some

resonably heavy snow anywhere in the south east in the afternoon

[BeastFromTheEast]

sunday

sunday

bitter east-north easterly wind

temps around freezing

now there is a trough over yarmouth so expect some

resonably heavy snow anywhere in the south east in the afternoon

i'm about 30 miles west of Yarmouth, am I in with a shout?

[john pike]

monday

again a weak easterly flow

temps around freezing

dry am pm see the north west front on way

i can see some heavy snow on monday night here

[Coopsy]

Preciting troughs in a snow situation over 48 hours out is invariably going to be difficult and not so accurate. The fact that the set up is there for one to develop is encouraing though

[john pike]

tuesday

very nice

very cold east northeasterly wind

front close by creating snow showers on and off anywhere in the south east

TO NOTE AND IMPORTANT

SEE THE LOW PRESSURE TO OUR SOUTH EAST

ACCORDING TO FAX CHART THAT WILL HIT US LATE TUESDAY

HEAVY SNOW AND DISRUPTION IF THIS CONTINUES ITS TRACK

we still continue under 528 dam air

[Sno' problem]

Could be a good set-up for a Thames streamer!

[craigore]

Se/ea will get the most out of this setup!

Expect central London to shut down Wednesday !

hope you are right....

[Amanzi]
