  1. 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
  2. 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
  3. 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
  4. 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
  5. You know snow is on the way when the server crashes under sheer volume of users
  6. 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
  7. 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
  8. Agree Steve, drooling over that one, that would result in over a foot of snow across much of mainland Britain Truly epic stuff
  9. The army would be on standby if that chart verifies Chart of the winter
  10. Deep cold with heavy snowfall looks nailed on now, it is just a question of timing, amounts and length of the severe spell
  11. GFS has been onions all winter and finally delivers the goods in style, roll on next week
  12. 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
  13. Surely the UKMO will admit they are wrong and fall into line with the ECM and GFS
  14. 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
  15. Slightly off topic but what has happened to Ian Ferguson? i miss his updates on what Exeter are thinking
  16. Think we can bin the UKMO GFS has been consistent throughout in its forecasting of this potential snap but UKMO have been flip flopping and dithering GFS it is
  17. I didn't make any depth predictions been stung there before, what i meant is for the time of year, with the strength of the sun it is almost impossible for snow that falls one day in March to still be around 24 hours later whereas with the uppers here any snow that falls would stick around so i meant special for time of year
  18. The only certainties are that it is going to be very cold (nailed on) and that areas particularly to the east are going to see very heavy snow showers (nailed on), it is all about the finer details now, length of the cold snowy snap and the intensity of the snow, all 3 of the big guns support the extremely cold and snowy weather but are just not agreed on timing and length of the spell and its severity. But we are on the brink of something quite special for March
  19. Think the ECM and UKMO can be binned ECM is all over the place, it is simply throwing several balls into the air and hoping one lands, hasn't got a clue what it wants UKMO goes against what the Met are saying, the Met seems to be siding with the GFS (snow in eastern parts)
  20. You know we are desperate for snow when we are straw clutching with regards a model that has been quite frankly hopeless this winter. It has to get something right sometime so lets hope it is this
  21. Someone posted a history the other night that showed the record for the SE in March/April was13cm in 2006, if and its a big if the ecm verifies as it is now it would be a surprise if that total was not exceeded . ECM has a habit of FI eye candy and nothing coming lf it so am not excited at this stage but if it is right for once in FI would be surprised if 2006 isn't exceeded
  22. Record levels of snow for the time of year if the latest ECM came off, but with 9 or 10 days to go I expect downgrades
  23. No point getting excited about stuff showing in FI, can't remember the last extreme FI solution that was actually right, this starts showing at 96 instead of 240 i will start getting excited but until then its meaningless eye candy
  24. I only want an extended winter if there is going to be heavy lying snow, if not i want to get in my shorts and enjoy some heat and beer gardens I don't think it is likely now this winter that there will be any more lying snow in March that lasts over 24 hrs, the strength of the sun will melt it quickly so for that reason I can't get too excited
