  1. That would produce large accumulations seeing as it will settle instantly! No rain to snow event
  2. One thing to remember folks - this type of set up may not happen again for years!! Enjoy the moment. A few weeks ago i'd have given a lot just for a few cm's of snow! We now have the prospect of possibly 20cm + !!!
  3. Yes, Ian will take us through into Fridays forecast - Unlike Darren Bett just now!....feline!! lol
  4. One thing i haven't being discussed regarding Thurs/friday, is likely snow depths? Anyone have any ideas what we're looking at?
  5. latest BBC forecast (updated 20 mins ago on website) looks very very good for us Thurs/Friday ! Looks all snow, and we get a fair a mount from two separate fronts associated with that low Fingers crossed it delivers for us!
  6. That really is quite something! The military will be digging people out if this comes off ?
  7. Yes, but lady on the lunch time BBC forecast said next week is looking "dry" !! hopefully she sobers up before tomorrows shift!
  8. I think that's a terrible assessment. How on earth can they say that given the model output!? She should have said, next week is looking bitterly cold with the a strong possibility of snow. The word "dry" will just make her look daft!
  9. someone just called the met office and said there's a BEAST on the way,......there isn't, its just a cold snap......?
  10. I would love to see this cold come off as much as the next person, BUT, If I had a penny for every time i've seen BOOM turn to GLOOM over the years, i'd have my own chalet in Courchevel and wouldn't need to read this thread! Caution still needed folks
  11. what's everyone's thoughts on this afternoon? Looking at the radar there doesn't seem to be heavy precip in the midlands/wales? Have they got it wrong??
  12. Experience told me the snow line would move further south, but this seems too good t be true!
  13. I spoke to my uncle in Florida yesterday. He's really worried. He lives near Naples (east coast) and can't get away now. The highways are clogged and there's no fuel in the gas stations and water is sold out in the supermarkets It's not just the wind that's so worrying. The storm surge will be like the sea coming into the towns. I have a very bad feeling about this storm, I really fear for a great loss of life and catastrophic destruction
  14. Perhaps it might start as rain, but it will increasingly turn to snow as the system draws in air from the east
  15. I was only thinking earlier, if there was a possibility of a collision between the Storm and our cold air. Perhaps the Express will have their snowbomb after all !!
  16. Just wrote this When snow falls, time stands still. The child from within rekindles with my soul, The elegant way it falls, is gentle and familiar It floats with grace, and speaks to me like an old friend As if from another world, it wants to be noticed From gloom to bright, it changes the world in one night My old friend snow, I love you so
  17. Oh come on Steve. JMA never gets credit! One good run does not = reliable model!
