ecm at 144

i can see an interesting day here with that chart

also ukmo at 144

looks very close

[Ben_Cambs]

Nice ECM at T+144 aswell! Certainly the possibility of some frontal snow at some point this weekend, most likely Sunday (going off the 3 main models), and then maybe some snow showers into the start of the new working week.

ukmo at 120

ecm at 120

looks pretty good

awaiting 144 as that may be interesting for us

144 is beautiful. Look at the uppers!

[dubmuffin]

It was an awkward wintery mix for me on the cycle home, I could hear it on my coat and in the bushes by the side of the road so it livened up the usual uneventful journey, Sounds like very heavy rain now judging by the conservatory roof

[Bluebreezer54]

Sky looks awkward and chaotic - clear bits and lots of streaks of purply upper cloud and then fluffy dark greyish white blobs lower down. It might be a sign..

Crikey, I haven't seen skies like that since the 1970's ......they were the days.

[TheToastPeople]

Ice is falling from the sky!

[nanu]

"Raindrops keeps falling on my head" thats all its doing here.. not one flake of snow/sleet.

[snowbob]

Raining now

Never mind saw a few flakes

Always a bonus

[Jax]

Is it green?

The sky always looked a bit like after LSD. They were the days..

[tight isobar]

Ecm...lovely +144,and we south east drenched -10uppers, and probable, snow in form heavy showers...keep watching..

[BLUNT]

Stopped here now, BBC was saying rain showers here tomorrow, snow on hills

[Ben_Cambs]

If you look at ECM and UKMO at T+144:

UKMO: http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/Rukm1441.gif

ECM: http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/Recm1441.gif

They aren't too dis-similar from eachother, even at this timeframe. But compared to GFS:

Barely a sign of an easterly flow on the GFS. Signs that in the past few runs GFS has moved closer towards the ECM+UKMO solution, hopefully the GFS will continue in the next few runs in its movement towards the European model's solution.

Lmao luckily not today! Odd flake of snow in the wind right now but nothing heavy :/

[HammerJack]

Just seen the word "Boom" in the model thread. ECM is tidy to say the least......😳

These are simply the biggest snowflakes ever. Very hypnotic watching them cascade down and then get blown up and down the cliffs.

[Guest bjaykent]

144 is beautiful. Look at the uppers!

Waiting to see if we get an undercut at 216?

[Tamara]

A retro sky!

Very much liking the model output this evening - the weekend and thereafter is looking quite exciting! Snow followed by North Sea Snow Showers *she touches wood it stays this way*

[alexisj9]

It's plain old rain here now, did start as very light snow.

[runboy]

Lovely huge flakes of snow in Norwich, started about 4.45pm and still going. Roads were getting tricky but not really settling on concrete but cars and grass covered. More than I thought...

[Gary_R_Walker]

Waiting to see if we get an undercut at 216?

Yes as I'm watching the snow fall here I'm thinking to myself, "I wonder what the weather will be like in 9 days time."

[london-snow]

& there we go great outlook from the bbc london team tonight stating the possiblity of snow next week.

[Eye of the Storm]

144 chart is stunning! Lets hope it comes off! Would be quite white in the east

[Mr.Plow]

Great drive home from Norwich to Ormesby, some of the biggest flakes I have seen in years. A really nice wintry picture the sky filled with big flakes. Awesome.
