Total non event here yesterday, a few heavy bursts of dandruff blowing in the wind but little to get excited about.
After Kent and Sussex stole all the snow our area deserves a pasting before the heat comes
Mixed feelings about that channel low
If it hits us then there could well be record breaking snow for the time of year but if it sinks south and misses us we are kept in the freezer for longer and more chance of reloads from the north and east
12"+ on Tuesday or a few more snow events, hard choice
If the GFS comes off an area from Brighton to Devon from the coast to about 20 miles inland could get upwards of 2ft of snow IMHO
People living particularly in Dorset, Somerset and Devon should be very excited right now
Definitely downgrades from the ECM and GFS but it is just one set of runs, no point taking them as gospel after run after run showing bitter cold and heavy snow, if the 12z and 18z are showing similar i will start to get a bit concerned but until then the 6z is going in the bin
The chart mountain shadow posted showed a Thames streamer with the shower train stretching all the way back to Holland/Germany, with the uppers forecast I can see astonishing depths, dare I say it, equalling or even topping Feb 09
Wow just wow, am in shock
Hope there are enough soldiers not in Afghanistan after all these cuts as they may well be needed monday
Charts of the winter no exaggeration
Good times ahead, looks like potentially record snowfall for March if particularly the GFS verifies, 12-18" of snow quite widespread in eastern parts with the strength of those winds and those uppers.
Things can still go pear shaped but the 6z is definitely a massive upgrade which could paralyse eastern Britain
I would bank that ECM chart, heavy deep snowfall and prolonged severe cold
With E/NE and those uppers has to be a chance of a Thames streamer too surely
