Safe to get the sledge out then by the looks of it??

[TheBigFreeze]

i'm looking forward to john Pikes fax updates to see what they hold for Norfolk...been sat here with matchsticks propping up my eyelids lol [reason being my misses will expect an immediate snow update when I pick her up from work at 6 a.m] bless her lol

[steveinsussex]

I would not pay to much attn to them. Bottom line to whats being displayed 5 days out has every chance of being incorrect. Big pattern change going on,Model output past 5 days is like trying to pick the winning lotto numbers. Stay tuned the fun is just starting.

I meant for the next 48 hours with tomorrow nights small snow event looking like just rain now

[yamkin]

hi yamks

i agree but trying to predict when it looks 100 percent to me

Hi JP, When you do your FAX chart update later on, can you take a look at a possible stalling period I think could take place on Monday/Tuesday. We could be looking at several inches of snow

[Jason H]

Latest GFS shows three snowfalls, Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday, with Snow showers on the way from the North Sea. Could be special early next week!

[Ben_Cambs]

Monday's and overnight into Tuesday's snow on 18z:

Then a shortwave delivers a second band of snow later on Tuesday:

Yes my yellow alert for snow on monday,waiting for it to go red

That normally happens when a foot of snow has already settled!

[Ben_Cambs]

hi ben

cannot wait for tues fax

funny thing that will not be forecast by tv until tomorrow

Hi John,

Yes it could be a very tasty chart!

Please keep up the FAX updates, I enjoy reading them as I'm sure many others do too!

[Lampostwatcher]

Tuesday 's snow looks like a white out

BRING IT ON !!!!!!

[Jason T]

Who's first. . . .

[steveinsussex]

Tuesday 's snow looks like a white out

BRING IT ON !!!!!!

its for the north of England more than the SE, the snow in the early hours is from Mondays event....

[snow raven]

If its going to be anything like 1947 (very unlikely) according to my Grandfather, there was reports of trains getting buried !! My god if that happened today, I would not believe it

And Southeastern trains would have a genuine reason for not running a service that day

[Pixel]

I have to admit to being slightly gutted about the prospects for snow after the weekend... As Im sitting here in 26c in New Zealand (-: & will miss the first bit of action of 2013. Have fun everyone.

Yes Wednesday could also provide heavy, penetrating snow showers from the North Sea!

You got a freezer.?

[hardcj]

So far the 18z gives the south east a pasting for a good 30 hours with only 1 3 hour gap of a lul in the snow!....wonder if that'll verify?

Ironic Ben, Upgrade then tomorrow. lol

Hi Jason, hope you are well.

Wonder if the other models will begin to pick up on this second shortwave tomorrow. Unless I'm mistaken only GFS is picking up on this second shortwave on Tuesday, interesting to see the model output tomorrow and if they begin to pick up on this feature!
