HaHa, i had to really fight myself to not make a dodgy comment then, as soon as i read it my hand got a mind of its own and scurried to the keyboard like

in the Evil Dead. Its a little early for innuendo, dont want anyone spitting quaker oats over their laptop diablo.gif

Yep, only upgrades coming, full of optimism that we're all going to get a pasting tommorrow. Colds going to upgrade too, cold all through next week

which brings us up to Chiono and GP's main SSW ieffect time of the 25th Jan and there'll be prolonged cold well into Feb.

And that ladies and gentleman is todays hopecast.

Haha all this snow porn gone to your head pmsl, anyway yes Lets see loads of upgrades for the next dumping of snow, fingers crossed and other things lol

This cloud cover isn't helping either.

Could do with some good breaks this evening.

Between showers of course.smile.png

Between seriously heavy showers would be good. If we can make it through today without much of a thaw then get a cold -2.0C night we'll be good to go.

Meto have heavy snow for here at 3pm and 6pm, they've downgraded tomorrow though back to a yellow warning.

Don't pay too much attention to them. They change a lot.

the rise in temperatures at the surface in spite of values of -8C or lower at 850mb is just one of those things that happens at times. Predicting snow as I often comment in the model thread is very complex and in situations that we have this morning even more so.

Even the skew-t diagrams show temperatures below zero from the surface but I suspect they have not picked up the slight warming in the bottom 2-3000ft-it happens. As to Sunday into Monday it looks to me a much more unreliable snow situation than the one we had yesterday with surface values above zero C, both T and Td, not much but enough to give doubt over snow at sea level and certainly on the coast a lot of doubt. A few hundered feet elevation may be the difference between sleety rain and snow?

the intensity will also be important, slight or very slight and sleet at most, moderate and it should turn to wet snow, say if the rate is 2mm or more per hour. Evaporational cooling is the technical term to describe what happens.

Ha, snow porn, i wonder if that will work when i get banned 'sorry mods, it was the snow porn'

If that red band could push a few miles west to the Pennines we'd be in too, we're pretty lucky up here with snow, it's in the area it

usually finds us. Jinxed it already.

How much did you get in the end, around the 4inch mark?

Yes around 3 to 4 " of the fine powdery variety.

I wouldn't worry too much about what the BBC site shows, they rarely get winter weather right for here so i don't even look anymore.

The radars showing it a bit more VA VA VOOOM and the METO have brought the heavy snow earlier to 12pm and 3pm instead of 3pm and 6pm.

Temps also dropping again, back to -1.1C and still snizzling.

Looks like light snow all day again, temperature rose a bit but has fallen again, -0.6C. 9cm in my front garden. Any more over the weekend would be a great bonus before any full-on thaw arrives (which it will do eventually).
