Met Office Update

UK Outlook for Wednesday 16 Jan 2013 to Friday 25 Jan 2013:

It should remain cold across many parts of the UK, with a good deal of dry and frosty weather, especially for central areas, but there will be some wintry showers and persistent rain, sleet and snow to watch out for on occasion. The detail of where the snow is most likely to be is currently uncertain at this time. At the moment, scattered snow showers look most likely to affect eastern parts of the UK with a risk of some significant snowfall here, whilst occasional periods of persistent rain and milder conditions may fringe into western areas, but turning to snow as it runs into the cold air. An ongoing risk of icy stretches overnight, and freezing fog may also be an issue during the cold and clearer nights.

Boston tea party - political protest against the tax policy of tea i believe.

Worth watching this little feature on Monday, such systems sometimes throw up huge surprises. I think the best version of this sort of pattern (in a somewhat better set-up aloft though) was Jan 2010 when a strengthening low developed along the frontal zone.

I don't think that will happen this time, but who knows. Equally it is possible that the front erodes long before it gets here and we get near to nothing from it. We'll have to just wait and see.

Hailsham stormer!

Could be Hell in Hellingly

The Monday system reminds me a bit of the Feb 2012 snow event. Cold air piling in from the east, weather system moving in from the NW giving us a lot of snow, but us staying in the cold air. May turn out to be similar.

[PLANET THANET]

Well BBC seem to say heavy snow monday night.....

I think most of us who live in thanet will need nick sussex and his emergency prozac as not only the snow charts show nothing for thanet but the bbc outlook up to tuesday only shows rain (with alittle sleet mixed in on monday night)

Im sure if it comes off, all of us will see a lot of snow, 5cm widely. IF is the big word!

ECM will be exciting tonight, will it continue the very very cold? As it has in last few evenings

[chmape]
