I wonder if Tuesday could get intresting for the South mids still 50/50 though as ever. 

[Terminal Moraine]

Cloudy, mild and breezy with continuous light, occasionally moderate, rain and drizzle here since about 1100.

Hopefully....that could be the kick start of what we've been missing this winter, by the end of the week it's a snowfeast going by the 12z GFS

Those Meteociel charts always significantly overegg the snow risk, just be aware!

On the face of it those charts look great, but it's not particularly cold unfortunately. Southern half of the UK we'd be using the dreaded "marginal" word a lot.

This far out it's always marginal......Great potential though 

Agreed, Hate the word

the Frosty/Karl. of our thread! good posts, keep spirits up!

[Arctic Hare]

Currently 12.1 °C outside. Any wintriness seems a long way away right now! Still, given the models and the cold MetO extended outlook today, who knows? Another 2013, anyone?

I won't be live it until I see it falling from the sky. We should ban the word marginal lol.

The marginal story lives on, GFS showing many many Hours of falling snow come the end of the week and well into the weekend .

All us Coldies know how one feels, I won't believe it until i see it either snowangel

LONG MAY THESE MODEL (GFS) RUNS LIVE ON

 

EDIT....Can't remember the last time I've seen such a solid snow risk chart (widely 90% -95%) and this is after 12hrs of falling snow

Just for F-U-N

Got to be honest, I nearly fell off my chair when I saw the 18z run tonight. It is brilliant but we've seen it go wrong this far out so many times. If it's still showing that at 48 hours away, only then will I start to take notice.

[I remember Atlantic 252]

long way out of course but 00Z complete change, bone dry

I suppose the best thing is to get cold air in first then look for snow from maybe disturbances, frontal snow or showers from there. For once it does look being bitter later in the week.

[andy_leics22]

The 06z is even worse! I knew it was too good to be true  

[Dancerwithwings]

Come on!.....((((IT'S ONLY SUNDAY))))  these set ups are complex patterns, more so when there is snow involved.

Expected...Upgrades & Downgrades....Corrections,,,, what ever you want to call it.....  Cold first then we will see what happens

It does look dry, but a lot of cold spells in this country look dry away from coasts or near coastal regions - but quite frequently little things pop up.

Get the cold IN, then keep your eyes out from there.

Back home now! Feels very warm after what I have been used to! From about -20c at night in Lapland to a toasty 14c today.  Daffodills out and quite a few trees budding around here.
