Really? NAE predicted whiteout conditions couple of weeks ago but I got nothing but rain...NAE really isn't as fantastic as people make it out to be!

I agree the NAE often over does snow potential, hence it is even more worrying!

Dont get me wrong I expect we will see snow falling but I dont think many in the region (bar the far north) will be building snowmen on Monday

In fairness it always was going to be poor for most of the SE. As the cold air wraps round the top of the low pressure system the SE is going to be last to see it. In set ups like this the extreme SE can get rain whereas even places like Hampshire can end up with snow. This is all to do with the colder air wrapping round the top of the low.

Its not time to throw in the towel yet, but I think anywhere south and southeast of London should anticipate rain and if anything else falls regard it as a big bonus. In essence assume the worst and hopefully get a nice surprise :-)

Okay to try and lighten the mood in here... We might not get snow, but be thankful you have not eaten one of these...

HMM NAE and 12Z GFS = Nail and coffin IMO. We need a miracle to see any decent lying snow otherwose it will be a rain or sleet fest for the whole region im afraid, even Northern Cambs / Norfolk is showing Dew points around 3c right into Monday :(

NAE is far from nail in the coffin. Easiest way to demonstrate this, flick through the 42/48hr rain/snow parameter, and watch the rain turning to snow and spreading up from the SE (indicative of the CAA expected

In truth we know the situation will change run to run, but I'm actually fairly encouraged from what I've seen of the raw 12z's so far (GFS aside, but then I have never used the GFS in situations like this - NMM is initialised from GFS data too so don't expect too much help from the NMM either)

I agree there is snow potenital IE snow falling from the sky but surely with DP's and air temps at 2c / 3c surely there is little chance of anyhting lying except Chilterns / downs etc

Sadly true Coast. I used to think of this regional thread as a safe and sane haven. Not any more though. sorry.gif

Why what's wrong with this thread?

It's just members expressing their views. If we all had the same opinion it would be rather boring don't you think?

Yes i would have loved to see a couple of inches here, but if it doesn't happen i'm not going to get upset about it, thats just the way it is, though from a comedy point of view some peoples posts are hilarious, its like telling my 4 year old she can't have sweets before dinner.

Funny thing, in the NW England and Yorkshire threads there's much woe because the general feeling is that the whole thing is likely to be corrected south over the next 24 hours. And there's much gnashing of teeth in here because of what is being modelled now ! It seems to be the way of the snow-chaser, general pessimism until the moment snow actually starts falling, then uncontained joy !!!
