Just had a hail downpour, rather unexpected.

Watch the weather forecasts on tv from 10.30. The new data should be showing then.

For all those thinking the BBC weather service is a joke, after watching Cockup, here's Fergies offering for the SW tonight: http://news.bbc.co.uk/weather/hi/news/newsid_7760000/7760862.stm

Just to restore (some) faith in the beeb.

[Great Plum]

Met office App watch for Reigate...

Tonight a maximum of -4(!) and then

1, -1, 0, 0 with snow from 12pm Friday until 9pm Saturday...

... Which is nice!

[Suburban Streamer]

hmmm anyone seen the 12z nmm? me no likey!!

[manutdmatt1986]

Met Office update has snow here non-stop from 12pm Friday to 6am Sunday.

The previous update had a bried drier interlude at 9am Saturday but fortunately this update has removed that

[Southender]

Im looking forward to updates from John and Mr Murr. Especially regarding the T+72 fax. I could really do with an explanation on that. As to me it looks like the low stays out west with the main snow band, but we get another weaker feature pivoting over our region instead. Help required please chaps. Faxes are not a strong point of mine!!

One thing I will say about Cockthaw is that he seems to focus on central London. Last Feb he talked about minimal amounts of snow in London, which came as a surprise to many in the capital who had 3-4 inches and a Sunday of sledging. Yet central London was clear. Not saying this is what is happening here but maybe he is factoring the intense heat trapping that occurs in the middle of town. Just a thought.

[greenhithe]

tweet from her was snow,snow snow

[Suburban Streamer]

please no knee jerk reactions but it fizzles out rather rapidly and even has some rain up in there. makes no sense compared to other outputs, including its own 6z run, but its higher res than gfs hd so a slight concern for now....

The fact that you can look at different weather sites, tv forecasts and other media sources and get widely varying different forecasts should be enough for anyone to realise that nobody, and I mean nobody knows exactly what is going to happen.

People are falling for the same trap as last week and are only setting themselves up to be disappointed if they don't get what they were expecting.

The big difference between this weekend and last weekend is that it's currently at a much shorter range so less likely to go wrong but there is still time.

Personally, I'm in South London and I have set my expectations at a very long period of light snow. No idea how much will settle or if it will get heavier as it's too early to say.
