    Looks like a dull and boring period of weather for the forseeable future, not a lot in the way of convection, no real cold or mildness, a no mans land basically But things can change quickly, the last cold snap started at about 4 days notice, everything crossed for a turnaround in the weather

    why are people saying its over? i was living in the w midlands in april 2013 and got 16cm of snow in a frontal event giving up at this stage is very premature

    With the met talking about snow accumulations along the estuary later are they talking about a potential thames streamer?
  4. John Snow
    Polar low?
  5. John Snow
    Looks like we should get some showers this afternoon and this evening, not expecting much in the way of accumulations, but it will be nice to see snow falling from the sky again
  6. John Snow
    Won't happen We need an E/NE for a streamer and the wind is NW/N
  7. John Snow
    They are barely trace amounts though, with the ground wet from previous rain there would be no settling snow in the region
  8. John Snow
    Not too excited till the Met come on board and issue warnings for the area Until they are on board i think amounts, if any, wont be much
  9. John Snow
    i dont think we will get anything out of the initial NW or indeed the northerly, never do well out of these sort of set ups The only hope is for disturbances and troughs to set in at short notice and bring snow to the region A lot of now casting ahead
  10. John Snow
    we never do particularly well out of a north westerly or a straight northerly though? we need a north easterly feed or an easterly dragging showers in inland off the north sea
  11. John Snow
    Nothing, and wasn't really expecting anything There is still a hope for tonight, would be good to see even a dusting before this spell ends
  12. John Snow
    This was never going to be a big event for our region anyway Steve even at his most optimistic had us down for max 3cm so narnia type conditions were never on the cards

    Bit of a damp squid atm, but the night is still young. The front is not meant to clear till late morning so there could still be some nice surprises in store
  14. John Snow
    They were Saturday night too and we got absolutely nothing, hope the opposite happens tonight
  15. John Snow
    Euro4 doesn't offer much for our region overnight or tomorrow, but after seeing no snow lying since 2013 I would be happy with even a dusting
  16. John Snow
    Disappointing, but things crop up out of the blue This current 'cold spell' was nowhere to be seen till about 4 days before it started, all the forecasts were about mild zonality I am still hopeful that we will get some nice surprises this winter

    Feb 3rd 2009 was a Thames streamer not a channel low, when the Met put up a red warning for my area it was probably 3rd happiest day of my life after my wedding day and the birth of my daughter
  18. John Snow
    Sounds like the Met Office are siding with the Euro4 atm London/SE is the most highly populated part of the, UK so if there was likelihood of more than a dusting I would have thought the Met would release warnings, we are inside the reliable timeframe Until the Met come on board with warnings it is difficult to get too excited
  19. John Snow
    It seems a marginal event at the moment, but at the end of the day it will all boil down to dew points, like yesterday If the dew points are in our favour then with 18 hrs of precip it is unlikely there would not be snow cover of some sort, more so higher up like north and south downs. There will be upgrades and there will be downgrades, it is going to be a now casting time
  20. John Snow
    I take more notice of Steve's posts than I do anyone else's tbh He called Feb 2009 streamer absolutely perfectly, 24hrs before he also said the town where the sweet spot would be and how much the region would get, a day before the met even put out a red warning, sure enough the totals he predicted were near enough spot on and the Downs of Banstead, his sweet spot, got 17" Steve should be chief forecaster of the Met
  21. John Snow
    If Steve Murr says that the SE is right in the snow zone for Wednesday, then it will be I can't recall the last thing he got wrong Keep the faith, it's coming
  22. John Snow
    Exactly, someone said before that my POSSIBLE prediction would give people false hope, as if anyone is going to take notice of what i say anyways, posters on NW take as gospel stuff TEITS, WIB, Steve Murr, Tamara etc and rightly so, they are not going to look at the post of some random enthusiast and go out panic buyingEnthusiast, snow lover/obsessive is what I am, in terms of models I don't know my ass from my elbow, my posts are a mixture of optimism and enthusiasm based on limited knowledge
  23. John Snow
    If it makes its way down to the south I can see an inch or two settling, more on higher ground I am sure the Met are watching it closely, would be a nice bonus to compensate for the rain/sleet this morning
  24. John Snow
    That blob of very heavy snow over Hull looks like it is heading straight for London / South East, no signs of it weakening on its travels Very interesting night ahead
  25. John Snow
    Close but no cigar Dew points too high for settling snow Could change but the heaviest part of the front has already passed through Hopefully get something out of the sliders
