Any chance of a Vest From The West incoming to sweep away this cold grey windy showery awfulness ?

This week's Met Office weekly forecast: Will the current bore-fest outlast the weekend?

 

Super presentation again by the Met Office

They're popular again on the model thread because they are mentioning snow. They've had stick on the very same thread for most of the winter because they have, correctly, not predicted snow

Afraid not. Well not with warmth anyway. Seems that the Met are now favouring battleground snow next week

Got a stag do in Sheffield on the 11th and taking in the Luton game at Bramall Lane as part of that. Won't be happy if that trip and game is kyboshed by lousy March snow

Yuk. No snow please. It just appears.  Disrupts everything. Then melts and causes broken ankles and stuff as you slip on the horrid slush.

Sheffield is a sound City. Been there loads of times at Bramhall Lane and Hillsborough following Wolves FC. Have a good day chap.

Yeah I sort of know Sheffield as a city but haven't been there for a while. I've been to both Hillsborough and Bramall but not for a long time. Although, as far as Yorkshire goes, I know Leeds better but I've never been to Elland Road

Thanks mate. Yeah, it's a stag so we won't let a possible bad result spoil the weekend! Just hope the weather doesn't either

I suspect that this much awaited 'cold spell' isn't going to be particularly cold, particularly snowy or particularly long-lived for most.

Good.

Roll on Spring 2023.

Yes. Hopefully 20c before too long.

This definitely isn't the snow ramp thread...... they must all be in MAD thread

So long as the battleground is north of Hadrian's Wall.

Can't disagree with roll on Spring! but March to me is looking more like an average December, coldish/average dry first week, then wet and windy from 8th to 31st but warm, but not the weather yet for a vest, as posted from the west

Not for me but it will for the snow lovers when the fantasy charts fail to come to fruition yet again!

Yep, let's hope. Unfortunately, it's all moved significantly to cold in the last 24 hours. Pity but I can't delude myself that cold is not the favourite like a lot often do in the model thread when it's the other way round

Well it's kind of gone a little in the colder direction today but not by much and only briefly (although of course some people are getting over-excited with the latest ECM output - however, as has been said umpteen times before: 'one model, one run .......'). We can see the general overall pattern, but amounts of cold and snow and any longevity are still up in the air. I suspect it'll be a damp squib, at least for those in the south, but we'll. see.

[RJBingham]

Snowmageddon, apparently 

[ChannelThunder]

Tbf, I'd be pretty chuffed with tonight's ECM if I was a coldie! Even though snow does nothing for me and I'd much rather the mild, I think I'd take that run just for something different to this nothing-ness we've had for 6 weeks now.

I'll have a moan about February 2023, what a trying month for weather enthusiasts, barely any weather to talk about, its been unusually static, very dry, temps anomalously mild, quite sunny, high pressure has stuck limpet for the full duration. Did anyone foresee such a dry sunny mild February devoid of any wintriness, storminess of wetness! Roll on March and offer some weather to talk about please!

It hasn’t been an overly mild month

It’s been pretty cold at times in my location, and tonight is freezing cold.

I’m calling Kybosh. After the winter we’ve had, I still think snow will be possible until even April.
