Bit ocd that isnt it

I'm thinking of an alternative for what ocd might stand for But collecting snow in Spring is like saving the lives of so many fallen flakes otherwise at the mercy of the warm Spring sunshine

warmish to the 8th

all this warm talk is if you see some sun (some will and some wont)

wet from the 6th

note the scatter on the 9th this is the day that the models are struggling

see the 11th where the mean drops

a lot of very cold runs showing from that day plus a lot of precipitation

it is a take your pick situation but i am edging towards the cold now

lets see what ecm shows

[blackprince]

Yep..I have to drive by it and have been known to stop lol not a big breakfast though as it sounds better than it is

[john pike]

ukmo at 144

ecm at 144

what happens next ????????

[john pike]

ecm at 216

[john pike]

[Kent Snow]

Another slate grey day with a north easterly wind. Maximum 4C.

[Timmytour]

Was in Hoddesdon Herts this evening. Temp was 2C according to the car when my daughter and me got there to get fish and chips. Got back in and it was 8C. Drove off heading towards Hertford and it gradually dropped back to 2C again. Very strange!

[Snowangel-MK]

Zero degrees here and the weather station has 6 snow symbols - not expecting anything are we ?

[CWT2012]

Record levels of snow for the time of year if the latest ECM came off, but with 9 or 10 days to go I expect downgrades

Edited March 2, 2013 by CWT2012

[Bluebreezer54]

A sharp drop in temperature here. Now -1.2c.

Ecm seems keen on a return of winter, I hope its wrong !

Please define record levels of snow for the time of year CWT, agree Ecm certainly seems keen for a return to winter though.

[john pike]

if you are looking for cold

these are ideal at present

do want this set up in the summer

[john pike]

[Guest bjaykent]

Hi john, first time I have looked today, looking to say the least a rather cold outlook at the moment, ecm looks incredible and current GFS18z as you say looking similar out to 144hrs now!

Someone posted a history the other night that showed the record for the SE in March/April was13cm in 2006, if and its a big if the ecm verifies as it is now it would be a surprise if that total was not exceeded .

ECM has a habit of FI eye candy and nothing coming lf it so am not excited at this stage but if it is right for once in FI would be surprised if 2006 isn't exceeded

all looking cold from the 10th on

the low i have been on about is the tricky bit

waiting the 120 fax

its late tonight

reckon they know we are going to look at it

[john pike]

see the lows to our south west

all depends on their track and strength as to what happens next

[john pike]

ecm at 192

gfs at 192

very similar except subtle differences of the low position

after 192 gfs goes to low resolution

however gfs still puts out this

Hi John, not too much difference between ECM & GFS with a little bit of westward adjustment in the low res GFS charts
