You will be asked about other interests/hobbies. They will be fascinated & interested with your meteorological knowledge. This will show them you know how to have fun outside of work which is a big plus

[HammerJack]

It's gonna rain rain rain. Which is good. Gets rid of all the ice and frozen snow. Time to warm up, then get ready for the next big freeze. I would like to say a big thanks to Coast, JP and Steve Murr for their great input. Cheers guys.

[Lampostwatcher]

Looking forward to seeing heavy snow for a few hours

[blackprince]

Yes all the best John, if they ask you about your hobbies/interests and when you tell them meteorology and then, out of interest, they ask what has caused this spell of wintry weather. Dont make the mistake I do, with my colleagues and start spouting SSWs, high latitude blocking, bifurcated jet-streams, madden julian oscilations, polar vortexes, lake-effect snows, Thames streamers, Kent clippers,Essex clippers, disrupted troughs, triple points, shortwaves, longwaves.........very quickly their eyes will glaze over and in no time they'll be snoring, fun though isnt it!

Good luck mate,

Tom.

And Paul Sherman who gives a sensible reality needed at some times!

[gazb21]

Good luck JP, still got snow on the ground here from Friday had snow of some sort of form come out of the sky every day since. Lets hope for a little more tomorrow before it all goes

[Kent Blizzard]

She looks good on the radar, cant link coz on phone.

[Whereisthesnow?]

2-5cm "possibly" during rush hour (according to BBC Local Weather) through till around 11pm ish and then 12 degrees by Tuesday, but then a cool down again to 3-4.

Morning all!

Certainly looks like a spell of rain coming up, a return to more average temps for the time of year then an ickle indication on the London Free-atmosphere meteogram that it could get colder from next Friday.....

i don't know how true this is but the met have me (Eastbourne) and Hastings down for heavy snow for 3am tonight ,i know it won't be much but i guess there's a risk?

I guess it must be some % of risk, but I can't see many people getting up in the wee early hours to watch it fall, then see it mostly gone by the morning?

GFS still says North of us, then gone:

Looking out onto my car and nearby walls it would appear that there has been a brief spell of what can only be described as snow pellets.

I thought that was frost, but you're right!

[BB1979]

Clicking into this forum to see no update for 5mins tells me more than the model thread ever could. Cheers cold spell ... it was fun while it lasted

[Croydondazz]

Wow i could not keep up with the pages last week on my phone now its dead .

Zzzzzzzzzzz

[classylady]

Just put the sledges back in the shed............................Boo

[Lauren]

I'm feeling very 'glass half full' about this.

If it doesn't snow again then at least I got one good snow day and I look forward to my favourite summer season with BBQs, warmth and smiles and then if it does snow again, that's always a bonus.
