  1. Equally the cold could be pushed further north on subsequent runs, which I and many others are hoping for, it's still not completely clear at this stage.

    Plenty of time for warmth, we don't want any warmth showing it's hand early, one only needs to look back at the last few years where early spring warmth was followed by one abysmal summer after another. Cracking output for those of us in the North next week, someone, somewhere will see some significant falls of snow during the course of next week. Thereafter I expect too see less cold but unsettled weather for the foreseeable.
  2. Yes but as that low pressure moves in from the nw it does send some milder conditions northwards into central Europe, hard to say at present how far north that gets and what the snow cover will be like by the time of the possible undercut.

    I'll be keeping a check on those temperatures, dew points over the next few days. At least this time its highlighly unlikely northern France will be stealing the UK's snow!

    I think in this instance its not will the pattern be too far south, but too far north. So at the moment I'd say a lowish risk for southern areas increasing as you go further north, that might change depending on the trend of the models.

    I don't want too see any corrections southwards Nick, that's been the story of this winter IMBY resulting in mostly rain events here. Cracking run for those in the Midlands Northwards.
  3. How ironic that spring has brought the lowest daytime temp and the snowiest weather IMBY, it almost makes up for the shocker of a winter proceeding it.

    The met office probability maps for March have updated today for April to June

    850hpa temperature has a 40% chance of been above normal and 20% chance for below normal

    Precipitation has a 40% chance of been below normal for the same period

    Early days yet but its looking good for a warm summer a 40% and for some in the north a 60% chance of above normal temperatures!

    Lets hope they are more accurate than they were for the past winter Gavin, they was showing us being in the freezer right up to late November then switched dramatically.
  4. How ironic I have to wait until March too see the heaviest falls of snow of the winter, granted it may only be 4cm but after the shocker of a winter which proceeded this I'm more than happy. Temps haven't risen above freezing since before lunchtime, resulting in powdery snow blowing around in shaded areas away from the any sun.

  5. Just a quick update on the snow, a large band of wet weather this afternoon across central/central southern britain is already turning sleety and to snow above 100m, it looks like the east midlands and lincs are in prime position for a good covering, maybe 2-4 inches and perhaps 4-6 inches overnight into tomorrow, the risk of snow tomorrow extends further south. NW england probably staying as rain since the rain will be turning lighter and fizzling out but as time goes on today and tonight, colder and colder air will be increasingly in the mix, most of scotland cold and dry but snow showers from tomorrow to n and e coastal areas and similar next week.

    It's been the story of the winter in these neck of the woods Frosty, abysmal winter for cold, frosts and snow for many in the NW. Looking good for those areas you highlighted though.
  6. Looking like another cold blip will go out on a whimper IMO. TBH I wasn't even interested this time around as this winter has been pretty bobbins IMBY and I'm now only interested in Spring warmth and endless days of sunshine, so I'm now preparing myself for more disappointment as heights over Greenland become established over the Spring/Summer months.rofl.gif

  7. Looking like a washout Saturday for the region with a cold wind throughout and the chance of some snow across the Pennines as the day moves on.

    After that it just looks like a rinse and repeat of earlier easterlies with cloudy dry conditions and just the chance of some dandruff in more prone areas.

    It will however feel bitter, certainly until the wind dies off and any clearance will probably mean quite sever and penetrating frosts.

    Indeed, another awful grey laden cold spell around the corner. Oh how I hate easterlies!
  8. So after a few days of the models showing heavy snow and sub zero temps, we now have a day or two of below average temps with a few snow showers in the East. It's a pity those in the MOD thread never learn, every year we have the same ones going OTT regarding easterlies, cold and snow. Still next week still looks pleasant with frost by night and sunshine by day, fantastic!

  9. Ok i have seen enough to convince me we are on the cusp of a significant event,perhaps a one in fifty year event

    i have heard DEC 2010 mentioned many times,in recent days i do not think it will be that special,however many areas

    will possibly see there deepest snowfall of the winter

    C.S

    I'll have a drop of what that young man has been drinking.rofl.gif
