Not a bad little met office update for us southerners, seems we are in the race also. Outlook for the UK over the next 6-30 days UK Outlook for Tuesday 22 Jan 2019 to Thursday 31 Jan 2019: Outbreaks of rain, sleet and snow for many areas on Tuesday with a chance of snow to low levels but the details of this are currently uncertain. Strong winds are also possible in the southwest. Showery conditions will follow although some brighter weather is also possible later in the week. Thereafter, remaining cold and possibly turning very cold, accentuated by brisk winds which will last through until the end of January. Frontal zones may arrive from the northwest at times bringing spells of rain, sleet and snow. However, some drier and brighter interludes are still likely and these will bring overnight frosts, which will be widespread and locally severe, especially in any longer clear spells. UK Outlook for Friday 1 Feb 2019 to Friday 15 Feb 2019: Cold and sometimes very cold weather will continue as we head through the first half of February. It is likely to remain changeable too, especially at first, bringing strong winds and spells of rain which will turn to snow at times. Snow especially over higher ground but there is a greater risk to lower levels too with the cold air in place. Some drier and brighter periods are possible as well, perhaps becoming focused across the northwest with time. Occasional milder and wetter interludes may intersperse the generally cold conditions, these most likely in the south but also posing a more significant risk of snow.

The slider slid off

Well said, totally agree.

Might go right this time with all the signals looking strong. Perhaps we will start to see a few upgrades shortly now it’s moving into the reliable.

Better get stocked up on bread and water then (and gin)

Lovely, all good things come to those who wait

Bookmarked, when we are all a few feet under snow I’ll bump it

Catacol said yesterday he is digging out his de-icer and scraper and checking where his wellies and shovel are. Last time he said that was in February and we all know what happened next so keep the faith edit that was meant as a reply to Jethro, wrong quote, sorry.

I wonder if New Years Day 2019 will be the day the scales tipped in our favour, before then lots of waiting and disappointment. Maybe now the SSW has happened and with the vortex splitting the models will only get better from now, and the excitement will build in this place, we have waited patiently and deserve it! Reminds me a little of what happened earlier in Feb / March 2018 after the SSW the models got progressively more bullish by the day and would not back down.

None of the effects of the SSW where ever really predicted to come into range until about the 15th, finally starting to appear on the models now, exciting times ahead for coldies. Looking good at the moment, fingers crossed. Happy new year

Devon and Cornwall now the sweet spot for remaining snow, how often can you say that, perhaps once in a lifetime. After being in the absolute middle of a red warning just a few weeks ago, wish the best for everyone, its a brilliant feeling when the stars align. Good luck to everyone im the south, enjoy the show / snow

Kinda agree, only downer i can put on this one, is tempratures rise after the snow and it goes away quick, if my memory of 2010 is right, it snowed and stayed cold a bit after, so the snow hung around for a bit. Thats all thats missing for me to call this one better imo.

Beast has come back and said sorry I missed Devon and Cornwall last time, and she wants to go out in style. Like a good firework display, leave the best one till last. What an amazing performance from the beast!!! Sorry Im rambling now lol. As said before a truelly lifetime memorable event.

Same here. And met o app says heavy snow for another four hours.. Complete white out here already. Middle of march, really amazing??

Beasts from the easts are the best, dont respect any pre-detirmend barriers such as the damn M4. lovely too see places like devon and cornwall getting into the action. Been a real memorable event, very emotional, im worn out from it all lol, but when it delivers, worth every moment <3

Go on then, if you insist

Yes!! Still chucking it down thing is we dont get any gritting or snow plows, so kinda causes a bit more choas than normal. First beast we got snowed in for a few days, we had tractors going around (just the goodwill of the local farmers) with plows pushing the snow off the road, they did it just too help out, the village was really busy and everyone was extra friendly and all the kids really happy, was a good vibe and a nice sprit amongst people. This time not so much, have not seen a soul for two or three hours. Maybe just a little bit of excitement has gone for some people. Almost me included because i love the sun and warmth equally, but would not say no to beast pt 3 for easter

Sorry, been in your shoes many times. Hope the cards fall for you

Yea wife in GF in bed too, did not promise her anything lol, think she knows will not be going to bed till late. Its so rare, we might not see it for a while, so my attitude is no way am I missing it. im deffo more excited than the kids,, they are kinda excited by it, good to be young at heart I suppose

Yea same, not quite curtain twitching as much as usual atm, kinda secure that its falling heavy and unlikely to stop, nice feeling

Sorry Karlos for borrowing your phrase but. Lloyds TSB, Barclays, Natwest. BANK

Its all heading your way

Here you go...
