I'm feeling more positive now. I would much rather it this way round with room for possible upgrades, rather than the hi-res models saying it's nailed on and then never happening.

glass is now half full  :pardon:

Take another slurp, and go top it up, the swings & roundabouts will remain active for the foreseeable..

Brollies to the ready..

I think Thursday will look like this. Slush on cars / bins and not settling on the ground.

Hopefully some of us see snow showers on Friday.

Yes AWD - exactly as forecast in beeb this lunchtime.

I genuinely cannot see what there is to get excited about. This 'wintry' couple of days from the north west would be standard fare in cr@p winters from the past.

Drizzling down here on the coast..

Though I felt a bit when I went outside a few minutes ago. Wasn't just imagining it! Was only very light.

There might be a very brisk, bitter easterly wind down there next week if you believe a certain model.

Elevation will play a part as it always does I'm sure there will be some chop and changes from now until the event but the way things are going looks mostly like rain for us

It looked like a rain to snow event on the bbc weather graphics. Rain in the morning & sleet / snow early afternoon

Oh jeeze, have I really got to scale this again? It does put you 586 mtrs high.

Alexis had a few more blobs of white in the graphics for Thursday than I was expecting. We shall see...

I noticed that. She didn't really say a lot other than over higher ground but there was a lot more snow on the graphics than just over higher ground.

You could be onto something there.

 

Leaving flippancy behind for a second (well, I'll try) if we don't get any white stuff this week, I'm wondering if we'll get any at all. The Mod thread is buzzing with loads of OTT posts about the stonking Easterly showing, fine and dandy if you want cold but not convinced it will benefit us in the SW. I know the argument is and always has been get the cold in first, the rest will hopefully follow, but in my experience that's more a fallacy than fact. Think back to 2010, an awful lot of the country were knee deep in snow, we got very little. Ok, the little we did get hung around for a long time but mostly it was just blinking cold around here. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of stonking Easterlies after that.

I agree but I'd take it tbh. At least if it does snow from an easterly, it's usually the proper powdery stuff. I'd rather have rain than marginal slush.

I wont be taking this easterly scenario seriously unless it's still showing on the weekend. Although it makes a nice change for a decent cold spell to be showing at T168 rather than 10+ days away.

I have never seen dry snow from a cold easterly... always been on holiday :nonono:

I'm not giving up yet, not a chance. I've seen these marginal events flip in our favour before, and to be perfectly honest I will take snow just falling from the sky, or even the chance of snow falling from the sky. That's what it's all about for at this time of year. Yes I'd love it to be a nailed on blizzard with 3 foot drifts on Thursday, but even if it was, the Channel Islands or France would steal it at +12 hours out!  

As for next weeks easterly, even if it didn't snow, that's fine by be as in extreme cold, then you never know right? A slider cold pop up.....oh yeah and head for France
