A downgrade in snow potential. A dry cold spell does nothing for me.

First Saturday just gone was meant to deliver us snow then it was Monday, then it was today, then it was Wednesday and Thursday for snow showers (since downgraded), then it was friday (could be downgraded), now it could be next Monday. It's like chasing shadows!

He has got a point,,

That's because people keep taking notice of the models, don't, just look a few days ahead as interest. The models can't handle this situation and there is one guy who thinks that the ukmo is never wrong, well what happened to those biting north east winds and heavy snow showers for most of this week

My friends and family have all had snow. I just want some freaking snow!!!!

What blog?

The Scandi High has started it's own blog against the Atlantic, it's been mocking it!

I of course meant block* haha!

Patience. The cold is here, it's only a matter of time before we get some decent snow. All the best winters were often cold for weeks before any meaningful snow arrived

I wonder if this line of precipitation coming down from the north sea could be in line to get as far as London? Looks like its almost headed in the right direction if it doesnt fizzle out, which it probably will. Could be good for East Anglia anyway..

[Biensie]

Totally Agree, much better day on Net Weather

Right goodnight fellow snowheads, off to read Zombie Fallout, have a wonderful evening watching lamp posts in the snowy areas and I look forward to reading all about it and seeing your lovely pics tomorrow x

[High Altitude]

Peter Cockroft just said less could and snow turning to rain for the weekend. Here we go again. I would be peed off to end up with a slushy mess.

Anywhere in essex/London e.t.c VERY low risk of snow as the winds are not in the right direction for that

East Kent is best, Mid Kent/North Kent at risk, Might get something in suffolk though

Depends if they keep their intensity and the wind direction is right

[kold weather]

Take every forecast for the weather beyond Wednesday night with a very large pinch of salt, either way.

Thats where the model disagreements start...yes there really are disagreements (and large ones at that!) by 36-48hrs. We really are going old school with this cold spell (where you never quite knew what was next to come!)

Peter Crockfort is one of the worst forecasters i've come across, can't remember the last accurate forecast from him in winter... Seriously though, he should NOT be forecasting so far ahead in this current situation, wrong or right

[stun12]

Latest NW radar image is taking it a bit inland

[abovefreezing]

How come CockCrap still has a TV gig, whilst Rob Mcelwee is shoved behind the scenes somewhere?

[Neilsouth]

UPDATE

Wind is now direct NORTH over east kent , NNE in North Sea

getting better

My thoughts and forecasts are on my weather page. I don't rant on there. I'm just getting incredibly frustrated by this.

You had snow last night / the early hours, didn't you?

He doesn't exactly get me enthused either. Think he's a mildy.

Do you want to know something?

He's been accused as being a mild lover ever since two/net weather was created and he came onto the scene
