It was about the same stage as we are now before the last one hit.

I am guessing about the 7th or 8th.

 I was so certain it was going to hit us.

To be honest I am not quite so certain this time, but we should, at least see falling snow .

Were the sweet spot for the snow this time then?

Well the MetO has just changed to having this for Telford, so fingers crossed we do well again in Shropshire again!

[shaky]

Latest 18z icon absolutely identical to the 12z up to 46 hours!!!

[BleakMidwinter]

And NetWeather's own forecast is the first time I've seen "torrential" for a snow forecast...!

[MattStoke]

Looks more marginal than last time but the Midlands could do well again. My best hope in London is some wet snow for a time that may not stick.

[shaky]

Icon 18z is smashin for the midlands!!full on heavy snow for all!!

[Sparkiee storm]

OMG if this comes off, how lucky are we, I might even start to feel sorry for other parts who are not seeing much seriously.

[shaky]

Icon gives 20cms snow widely across the midlands!!!by the way its an upgrade on accumulations compared to the 12z!!only 48 hours away now!!looks more in line with ecm!!

[I remember Atlantic 252]

Don't hear of icon much, assume it's a rubbish model

[I remember Atlantic 252]

18Z has mild sector just off our area, so it looks anyway

[shaky]

Gfs 18z same as 12z!!snow for midlands!!might start of as rain for a while but turns to snow readily!!

[I remember Atlantic 252]

Also looking out for Cheshire Gap streamer, Wed night into thurs

[MattStoke]

From Stoke to London, with love

Just watched a really poor BBC forecast. No mention of any threat of any snow. She even said weather wouldnt be seasonal over the Christmas period! Really strange.

Merry Christmas to one and all on the forum. 

Unfortunately I prefer my sprouts a bit mushy. So I do not fancy a comparison.

I like my  Xmas pudding deep and even though.

Ideally we want arpege and euro4 slightly south still!!ecmwf is perfect but am not sure if its right!!!you think ecm would be on the money with its higher resolution but am not so sure this time!!
