Was expecting a huge downgrade as that usual happens next morning but its looking better and better here in Crawley. Metoffice is adamant we will get continuous snow from Saturday night to Monday night. And with temps well below zero and staying that way till Thursday/Fridsy the snow could be around for a while. I'm so excited hhaha.
Is it possible for us to be on the wrong side of a SSW?
For example can it happen that instead of the UK, it is the US that gets all the cold due to the SSW?
Looking very good for Crawley tonight. One question, what causes the shift from heavy snow to sleet and then to heavy snow all in the space of 2 hours, under the same temps in the middle of the night?
Seriously, f**k the met office. Serious winds here and no warning by the metoffice. Just had a family member get hurt.
Why is weather forecasting so poor?
Over the last few weeks they have been very poor at predicting rain and wind. I would rather they exaggerate the chances of bad events so people can prepare.
Why is the polar vortex forming a food think?
I read this https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/learning/atmosphere/polar-vortex
And I'm just a little confused. Surely it is better for the polar vortex to not form so cold air can come down?
